HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PATRICK!
Mood:  celebratory
Topic: May Birthdays
It's time again to celebrate another MACSian birthday! "Many Happy Returns!" to Patrick Tan Long Yong. Just look at the photos below and and you'll probably agree that Patrick has hardly changed. His secret? Must be his regular staff purchases of diary products and cereals previously from Nestle and now Kelloggs!



















Pix above: Patrick and lovely wife Yeen in Bangkok, Yeen with their "bouncers" Jesper and Julian on holiday in Europe. Jesper is in his 2nd year with the University of Technology Sydney and Julian is in Form 5. Like Patrick, Jesper's favourite subject is marketing while Julian indulges in Chemistry & Physics.

Patrick's Career in Marketing:
1. With Nestle Malaysia for 17 years, of which 3 years were in Nestle China, based in HongKong.
2. Joined Gillette Malaysia in 1997 as Sales Director and made the Market Head the following year. There for 4 years.
3. Moved on to JumpKidz as CEO looking after the licensing business.
4. Head-hunted in 2003 by Kellogg's to be their MD for Greater China/SEA. Recently awarded the "2004 Gold Award" for best performance by the President of Kellogg International. Patrick says, "Work-wise, I am having FUN travelling from one country to another every alternate week."

On Staying Healthy:
"For fun and to overcome the stress level that comes with the job, I get to play squash every weekends but my knees are telling me to slow down. So did my good old friend, Dr. Koh; and Richard recommends Golf which is bad for my heart!"
A TIP from Long Yong: "At our age, please eat right and eat healthily - eat Kellogg's corn flakes!"

Tidbits:
They say you can always tell one by the shape of his head... yes, Patrick is among a group of proud Hainanese MACSians. And if you didn't know already, they say that the Hainanese are naturally good at cooking - the ever popular good old Hainanese Chicken Rice and Kopitiams testify to this! Is Patrick handy in the kitchen as well? You'll have to ask him or Yeen to find out!
