It's been so long since i last blogged.....

2011-10-12T14:32:00.000+08:00

Time flies and the work had caught up and the kids were shouting for attention.... ( and the list goes on....)

I am glad to be back...

One of my latest hobby - online hunting for great deals :)

Before I zee away, let me share one of latest quotes, hopefully it will calm me down during my sleepless nights of worry :

Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today for its joy.

Set the Sail

2010-10-13T23:03:00.002+08:00

It is the set of the sail,
not the directions of the wind,
that determines which way we go.

~~~Jim Rohn~~~

Change

2010-10-12T19:52:00.000+08:00

If you don't like something change it;

if you can't change it,

change the way you think about it.

-Mary Engelbreit

It's in the choice that you make.....

2010-07-30T22:48:00.001+08:00

Life is a grindstone,

and whether it grinds you down or polishes you up

is for you and you alone to decide.

-Cavett Robert

Seek and you'll find.....

2010-07-25T23:03:00.001+08:00

The only question to ask yourself is

how much are you willing to sacrifice to achieve this success?

-Larry Flynt

True Friendship

2010-07-08T15:10:00.000+08:00

True Friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adveristy before it is entilted to the appellation.

By George Washington.

A brand called "You"

2010-06-26T15:48:00.000+08:00

The 5 key characteristics of a successful sales person are :

1. Competence- How well do you know?

2. Reliability -How dependable are you?

3. Attitude.

4. Focus- channel energy into an agreed goal.

5. Teamwork.

End Note : Do you have the CRAFT in you???

Sales Kickoff

2010-06-26T15:44:00.000+08:00

I was at our annual sales kick off today. My usual perception of a sales kickoff is about telling the salespeople, thank you for your past contribution, its a new start and we need you to work your ass off to hit your quota. Here's lunch and pls get your engine started straight after you have finished your meal.

However, it the midst of delivering the message, I've managed to learn some stuff- from our inspirational speaker, Mr Butt Wai Choon, Alex. Alex was sharing abt his 17 yrs of corporate life in Microsoft- a transition from a individual contributor to the GM of Malaysia.

I'm gonna document these pointers down, in hope that you will gain some insights, just like I've learnt from this motivational person.

1. Hear your heart. There's no point to be able to see but not being able to feel. Trust your gut feeling.

2. If you can make your boss successful, you will be successful.

3. Organization changes are a fact of life, take it in your stride and move on.

4. Soldier vs commander. You can be the best soldier in your team but to make a greater impact to the battle, you have to become a commander. Cos being a commander, you will gain the ability to make an impact.

5. Whatever that is keeping you awake, you better go solve it before it haunts you.

6. How bad do you want it?? If you want it real bad, scarifices need to be made.

7. What is your one thing?? That one thing that you want in life.

End Note : Accountability is about the results while responsibility is about the actions.

I love my grandma

2010-05-20T21:09:00.000+08:00

Happy Mother's Day... Ah Ma...

As we age, it becomes hard to say "I Love You", especially when you come from a traditional chinese family.

Inspiring words

2009-09-17T00:04:00.002+08:00

I stumbled on this paragraph and i loved it....words from W.H.Murray

"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy,

the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness.

Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation),

there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which

kills countless ideas and splendid plans:

that the moment one definitely commits oneself,

then providence moves too. A whole stream of

events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor

all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and

material assistance, which no man could have

dreamt would come his way."

Top 10 shots taken last weekend

Stain Glass.

2009-08-27T21:29:00.000+08:00

People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.

I truly agree to this quote.

Things happen for a reason and when u look back, you realize that it's in the hard times that you learnt the most important things in life.

Toughen your mind

2009-05-28T23:49:00.005+08:00

I stumbled upon this Article in the Straits times and I will like to share on what I have learnt.

Successful athletes and corporate leaders share a common quality - mental toughness.

Mental toughness is essential to success. It is having the natural or developed psychological edges that enables one to :

1. Cope better than opponents with the many demands such as training, lifestyle, head to head competition that are placed in world-class performers.

2. Be more consistent and better than our opponents at remaining determined, focus, confident and in control under pressure.

So how to train your mental toughness ??

1. Self belief. Display an unshakeable belief in their ability to achieve their competition goals.

2. Motivation. Top performers have an ability to bounce back from performance setbacks with an increased determination to succeed.

3. Focus. Not distracted by others and ignore the "noise".

4. Handling pressure. Top performers thrive on pressure and rise to the occassion.

5. A dose of Confidence + Self esteem.

End Note : To make it to the top, the leader must be willing to experience the valleys to enjoy the peaks.

The Grand Wedding of Mr & Mrs Chew

2009-05-14T23:26:00.007+08:00

It was such a wonderful experience, to marry off my very own younger sister, one that I've been protecting since young. Passing the baton to Mr Chew now, I could finally take a breather of relief.

The "I just won a million dollars look."

The montage was extremely touching, but the evil plan of getting me into tears within 3 secs did not succeed.

Me, all dolled up as Emcee, runner and One leg kick, with Dan as the freelance camera man.

Regina made used of all her resources... even Faith and Zeph went into good use as Flower Girl & Boy.

Wishing them everlasting bliss...End Note :To keep your marriage brimming, with love in the wedding cup, whenever you're wrong, admit it; whenever you're right, shut up.

Enjoy the good things of life

2009-04-28T23:28:00.004+08:00

I was listening to the radio, as usual on my way to work today. I heard the DJ said - Enjoy the good things of life and I started to ponder on all the blessings that I've gotten thru my 32 years.

In top ranks,

No 1 : Blessing of having a supportive and loving husband.

No 2 : Blessing of having 2 lovely kids to put a meaning to what life is all about.

No 3 : Blessing of closely knitted family that you know you can count on ... in times of good and bad.

No 4 : Blessing of friends, constantly providing warmth, care and concern.

I had always loved this poem and i hope you too will find truth in it.

Slow Dance

Have you ever watched kids on a merry-go-round
Or listened to the rain slapping on the ground?

Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?

You better slow down
Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last

Do you run through each day on the fly
When you ask "How are you?"
do you hear the reply?

When the day is done,
do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
running through your head?

You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last

Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow
And in your haste, not see his sorrow?

Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
'Cause you never had time to call and say "Hi"?

You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last

When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through yourday,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away...

Life is not a race.

Do take it slower

Hear the music

Before the song is over.

Top 10 reasons why your boss sucks....

2009-02-28T11:12:00.002+08:00

1. When all things fail, he said that he intentionally didn't offer help cos he can still afford a failure- just so that you can learnt a lesson out of it.

2. Network, network and more network, just no real Work done.

3. Selling Empty promises of great achievements but delivers nothing. Great at Impression management and zero in team management. No Action, Talk Only.

4. Political struggles to gain power at the expense of his subordinates, stepping on everyone that is in his way.

5. "Boss, I'm resigning.". His answer : "I saw it coming."

6. Funnel Review, Review and Review,3 times per week.

7. Golf, Golf and more Golf, all for the sake of the team- entertainment just to get more business.

8. This is the 1st time I'm seeing this and I'm not gonna pay for your mistake - after yr numberous attempts to seek help.

9. "I'm not scolding you, I'm grooming you to become a better person."

10.All your achievements become his achievements in front of the big boss and all his faults become yours.

End Note :How did your boss score????

Outing at LCK and CCK

2009-02-10T23:09:00.009+08:00

We were all dying to get some fresh air and the sun so we decided to head out to LCK and CCK to check things out.

We woke up early and had breakfast at Mac - Science Centre. It was the Dino theme and the kids were excited.

While we are otw to fetch Gong Gong and head out to LCK, faith made a fashion uproar.

It might be due to the CNY so some of the usual hangouts are closed.. so we checked out Qian Hu at CCK.

While the kids fish for their pets, we headed for the Doc Fish therapy

We tried the fish spa with the larger species of the doctor fishes this time round. They were huge- ranging from 10-30 cm in length.
Look at Dan and you'll know how tickish it can be.

It all happened ....... for a cause

2008-10-08T00:06:00.003+08:00

I was feeling super low when i stumbled onto the blog of Molly and her diary to fight cancer.

Her story inspries me a great deal and it never fail to remind me that no matter how bad things appear to be, there is gonna be another way to look at it.

It is often easy to succumb to negativity and wilter and die in complaints and argony. I guess the hardest part is to grab hold of yourself and learn to move on.

Mid Autumn Festival - Chinese Garden Excursion

2008-09-18T22:05:00.009+08:00

The ANGS went to the Chinese Garden on the exact 15th day of 8th lunar Month just to catch the glimpse of the full moon and to enjoy the fireworks. Wiping out YSC's DSLR, it was great satisfaction to take nice nice pics with full HD color and texture, esp after my PS touch ups :)The entire place was decorated with Hello Kitties and My Melodies... the chinese garden was transformed to a kid's paradise.

Formula 1 theme even at the Lantern fantasy 2008.
Kieran and the meow meows.
I like this pix, taken just next to the lake. The water reflection by the lights makes it look almost like mirror image.

The Kids busy posing with the characters, while making funny faces with the official babysitters Jane and Jeric. Kieran's latest Phrase....Yo Yo, Wats up???
One nice shot of fireworks that I've managed to capture. If u haven't check out the Chinese Garden, I think u should. Last Day of lanterns display will be on 30th Sept so check it out fast.

God Daddy.... you live in the clouds???

Hort Park

2008-07-22T12:14:00.000+08:00

We went to the Horte Park last sunday and it sure was fun. With Alexandra Technopark just beside the corner, the Hort Park provides some nature touch to the mundane light-industrial area.

The place is sub-divided into different themes... (resort, zen, countryside etc)

For the kids, there were lots of fun with many playgrounds and swings around.

There are some dining places there and I think it's sure to be romantic to be dining under the stars.

Trying out my digital zoom... not too bad :)Kieran and Faith happily joined in the fun for some soccer with the other kids.
If you are like me, someone who enjoy nature, Hort Park is the place to go. There are lots of variety of flowers and plants, which are uncommon to me.

For a start, a lamp-post filled with vibrant flowers.

Huge Frangipani Flowers in a ball clutter.

Some Blue & Purple-ish bouquet.

This one is a star-shaped flower.A bush of red bell-shaped flowers.I like this one.. like a fuzzy ball of cotton flower..Bluebells???Snap-Dragon ( aka butterfly lookalike)Seedlings nursery?Have u been to to the land of Oz?We will be back this weekend, and this time, to conquer the canopy walk at Hort Park. If i managed to survive it, I will be back to tell u more abt it, so stay tuned.

Korea Serial The Legend

2008-07-02T23:21:00.005+08:00

If you are wondering why my blog hasn't been updated recently, I'm into the Legend now. Spending lots of time to chase this serial.

Bae Yong Jin is so so handsome and Charismatic.

I learnt lots of leadership qualities from watching the show.

How a leader should believe on his instincts when a decision have to be made and not to be afraid.

How to motivate and influence yr followers.

End Note : I will strive to be a good leader one day, one that my followers will feel worthy to die and sacrifice for.

Father's Day Outing at the zoo.

2008-06-15T23:14:00.000+08:00

We celebrated this father's day in a rather unusual way. Instead of the typical dinner celebration, i thot of organizing an outing, so that the grand dad can spend some time with his grand children.

And the plan works!!! Daddy never ever brought us to any attraction since young, so we were elated when he agreed to go with us this time round.

This is faith and Kang, riding the all so familiar Ben and Jerry Cow.

One weird looking Monkey if u ask me. The Kiddy ride that cost $4 for 5 mins. Parents who are looking for activities to tire out the kids, this definately worked. After the typical Elephants at work show, we went to visit Roo. The kids were excited to touch the kangaroo to feel its fur. Kang was kinda worried that it might bite, but it all turned out well.The Tiger Roars !!Kang and albert, with the PB&J lookalike. The Zoo van. Near the exit, we saw this face drawing booth and faith was keen to try.So guess what color did she choose???Rainbow color, that was wat she told the artist. She had a butterfly on her face. After the zoo, we went to the bottle tree park for dinner . ( pics are stolen from regina's blog cos i didn't took any at Bottle tree. I was simply too tired to move a limb.)

Faith wanted to fish but we did not obliged, cos all were too tired to move. But it sure looks fun. The old skool swan ride, the genting kind of rideKieran's most recent gesture, No 1.
