Entrepreneur

All along I’ve always been wanting to be an entrepreneur but I lack the guts, the time and the ideas. I’ve always admired those entrepreneurs because I know it takes a lot to be one. I’ve actually had a couple of business ideas but always lack the motivation and time to finally do it.

Anyway, a dear friend of mine has finally taken that extra step which I did not, that is to setup her own online business.

Please check out her online business  and support this new entrepreneur and hopefully one of these days, I’ll be an entrepreneur myself too!!

Wise saying

Abraham Maslow once said, "The greatest achievement in life, is to know what one actually wants."

I guess I haven’t achieve much in life then….

Inefficient HR

Today I felt the urgent to let it all out of my system with serious complaining about the very inefficient human resource in my company. To be specific, it’s the London branch human resource that I am referring, I’m perfectly happy with the ones we have in Singapore.

Wednesday mark exactly 3 weeks since I’ve been offered an internal transfer role and guess what, up till today, the HR still cannot give me the figures to my new package and kept saying that they are waiting for the higher management to approve the relocation costs. Seriously, it’s not like I’m earning 1,000,000 pounds per annual, why does it take so long for the cost to be approved? This is just plain crazy and inefficient to me. I’m so disappointed in them!!!

Feeling: Disappointed!!

THE POWER OF NOW

After knowing me for more than 4 years, Mr How a.k.a my mentor (in practically everything) recommended me this book and thought that it suits me. Therefore, I did a quick search of this book online, trying to find out the gist of this book and thought that maybe he is right. Called up Kinokuniya this afternoon and got them to reserve a copy of this book for me. Collected it right after work and now I’m back home, all ready to explore this interesting little book.

Feeling: Curious

What my mom said to me the other day….

"I asked you to get the man to slim down and in the end you ended up putting on weight with him. Sigh"

Feeling: Fat and I need to do something about it.

Verdict of my Palm Treo 680

It’s been a week since I’ve gotten this new phone and I’ve to say that I really like it!!! I’ve been able to download a lot of free applications into my phone and it’s really easy to use!!

So far, I’ve downloaded about 4 games, an additional alarm, an additional (more happening) calender, GPS and a Bible Reader!!!

Feeling: I love this new phone. (At the same time, I still miss my old phone).

Some people are just so privileged!!

I feel that some people are just so privileged and their parents can provide them whatever they want!!! Not that mine can’t but they refuse to. Maybe jealousy is consuming me!! Over the years I’ve seen a lot and being hurt a lot too. I feel that no one truly understands what I’ve gone through!! I guess it doesn’t matter anymore because I will grow to be stronger than everyone else.

I will prove to everyone that I’m more than what they think I am!! I can achieve more than others and I don’t need to depend on others to get things done!! I can provide for myself and I can also provide for others!!

I think my parents have very wrong perception of me but I know one day they’ll regret a lot of things they have done to me. A lot of unsaid unhappiness and a lot of hurt they’ve created over the years!!!

Feeling: Neglected daughter

I love my brother Daniel Chua!!

This whole time when I’m sick, apart from the man, the only family member who really cared about my health is my youngest brother Daniel Chua!! I just want to say that I love him very much. He would always ask me if I’ve taken my medicine, if I’m feeling better. And when I don’t have water in my room in order for me to take medicine, he would always fetch some for me from the kitchen. He is the best brother and I love him so very much!!!

Feeling: Loved

She is one of my role model.

Ladies and gentlemen, I am sure there are some people in your lives, be it a friend a relative or even a celebrity that has somehow inspired you in a positive way (i.e. the way you look at things, the way you react to situations or even the way you live your life).

I think this lady has been a positive influence to many people out there. I’m not sure if you know her or not but I think she is pretty big in the States. I somehow considered she as a role model because she always has this very positive attitude and big smile whenever I see her on TV or on magazines. Being 63 this year has not slowed her down, she has just been signed on to perform in Caesars Palace  in Vegas.  Her show  is  called  "The  Showgirl Must Go On", not bad for someone who is in their 60s. I think Asians should really take a que from all these Ang Mohs and learn to be active and continue to live life to the fullest!!!

She is none other than Bette Midler  that I am talking about!! Check her out, I think she is still very HOT for her age and I hope that I can age gracefully like her in the future.
