Mark Smit

Since his last trip to Singapore, which was a couple of weeks ago, Gabe was able to address Mark by his name. Upon the insistence of the man, he is known as "Mark", not "Uncle Mark" or other age-bearing greetings, which does make things easier for the babe.

So here's the defining moment that sheds light on Mark's standing in the family: gabe looks at his yee yee a week or so after Mark's return to Bangkok, and says "Mark!".

Incidentally, derod's workplace is known by the acronym SMIT.

For those of you who have not seen Mark, this is his 如山真面目, seen here with a 9 month-old gabe.

You raised me up....
