Mum, new year is just round the corner. This morning, I visited you with Jordan, Aidan and their mother. You passed away when Jordan were 4 yrs old. He is 7 yrs old now and is the first time that he visited you. He misses you tons and even commented on your "new house" :) I later brought them to the amusement park at Bishan. Like previous years, I will visit you on the first day of Chinese New Year which falls on 7th Feb. This evening, we had our early reunion dinner at Auntie's place with Granny, Uncle, Tina, Wei Ming and her beautiful baby Eleanor ! I will be entering into a very high capital investment business with a few friends. I will update you more next week. Love and misses you mum !

Well, this is my "Zen" way of living now. To enrich my daily life, to be aware of whatever I am doing at "that moment". Zen promotes a very different way of understanding and dealing with reality. It's an interesting self discovery process on my part and I hope you can discover it yourself.
Rani who was my colleague and best friend recommended me back into HP where I am currently working. Candice who was my ex M1 Team Manager when I was her Team Lead called me last week and asked me if I want to help her manage a newly setup regional call centre which next month I would have to go HK and India to understand their operation.
In life, there's always a situation that you have to make a decision. I used to manage a team during those days in Compaq and Jennifer is one of my team member. I guess its also fate that we are back working together again. She is one of the best, funny, cute, beautiful colleague and buddy that I get the honour of working with. We just clicked when it comes to managing the service desk in HP, I guess its the working style that we have gotten used to each other all the years in Compaq . If salary, travelling opportunities are out of the equation and there's any reason why I din take up the offer, she is one of the reason why I am staying back to help her manage her desk.
that I laid down on 8th Nov 2007. Been feeling tired and experiencing bad back pain so I decided to go for a jog earlier on. I am still on track to launch 5 mini campaigns on a weekly basis and to hit one winner. Already launched 2 campaigns and awaiting test results..
Melvin >> News like this upsets me a lot, could it have been prevented in the first place ? I am reaching 40 in 2 years time. ...though I am very much a positive person now but when things like this happens, you tend to step back and reflect...have I done enough ?
Mum, look at your beloved adopted grandson. Today is his first day in primary school. You bought his first water bottle when he was going nursery. Time flies, he is 5 this year and still cute as ever. You would be very proud of him if you are still around. I took leave today to accompany him on his first day. Confident little kid, no whining at all and he din cry !! :) So like me when I was younger..hehe..Love and misses you Mum...
Today is a happy day as well as a sad day for me. Happy because I am one of the brother for my friend CK's wedding. Sad is because my best friend and buddy Labby is going back to HK. She came on 1st April and with a blink of an eye, she already stayed 9 months. It has been a wonderful 9 months and I would like to thank her for bringing joy, fun and happiness into this home of mine. I learned how to cook, I indulged in food haunt which I usually dont, I enjoyed shopping in Giant at Tampines that we practically go every weekend..etc..etc..She has done much more for me as a friend and I would never forget that..Seeing her tearing her eyes in the departure gates really breaks my heart as I know how much she would like to work in Singapore and stay here. I told her to be patient and once my CPA marketing takes off, I will think of a way of "employing" her back. Till then, take care labby..You are missed by many of us who know you..* Rani, Jennifer, Fei Lou, Patricia..and many others..
Eversince I moved in to Punggol, I make it a point to track all my utilities bills and after 6 years, its interesting to note how much you realise you spend in each area. The bulk of my bills are from the electricity side probably because I have a mini voip system at home and some computer stuff that needs to be kept on. Thanks to Larry who recommended me a energy saver device which moderated my energy consumption if not, I cant imagine how much the bills would have been.
Rushed home today from work to learn lesson 2. :0
Okay..so here it is...my first cooking lesson with my Shi Fu Betty! here is me cleaning up preparing the prawns for ketchup prawns later. Its really not easy to think about what to cook everyday ! If your mum is cooking everyday for you, give her a BIG HUG and say THANK YOU because its really not easy to whip dishes day in day out. Also thanks to Betty for sharing and teaching me!
Mum, I visited granny today. According to the maid, granny is pretty weak. She used to have a loud voice but when I met her recently, her voice is hardly audible when she calls me but at least she remembers who I am. I am going to tell Ah Yi that I have plans to stay at the Jurong place so that I can visit granny often as she really misses having me around. Everytime I leave, she would ask me why I din stay for the night. I felt really bad. I would like to spend as much time as possible with her. I miss her alot and I misses you even more ! Love !
Today is 5th Nov 2007. Another one and a half month and its Year 2008. Its time to set my new year resolution. For the past 10 years, besides having a regular job, I also attempted several business ventures without any clear goals and vision in mind. Year 1998 - 2007 ( 3 hair salons till I sold off due to partners conflict ) ( Left Compaq to build my Bel'air network in Philippines ) ( Back to SG and back to work after I din do well in Philippines ) ( Invested in Canada Property rental with CK ) ( Exposed to Internet Marketing and CPA )May Success be with all my friends and May you be blessed with Abundance !!
