Such a meaningful connection is shared by HomeTeamNS staff James Chia and CPL (NS) Tedrick Chin, who\u2019ve become as thick as thieves after they first met at HomeTeamNS\u2019 corporate office during a period marked by fear and uncertainty.

James and I happened to be on the same team, which meant that hanging out together for lunch was a given,\u201d recalls CPL (NS) Chin. He shares that he and his pal bonded over their shared interest in toys, anime and video games.<\/p><p>Eventually, as pandemic-related restrictions were lifted and physical events resumed, the duo was deployed to work at HomeTeamNS events such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/thanking-our-everyday-heroes-with-a-movie-screening\/\">Cathay Movie Screenings<\/a>, Annual General Meeting, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/make-it-a-real-run\/\">REAL Run<\/a> and National Day Picnic By the Bay.

Since then, we\u2019ve been visiting the gym together to help one another reach our personal fitness goals,\u201d James shares. Both aim to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/a-virtual-take-on-forging-fitness-milestones\/\">pass their IPPT<\/a> and stay active.

CPL (NS) Chin says that participating in the activities together revealed a side to his colleagues that he previously wasn\u2019t privy to.
