The colour coordination for that night was fantastic.

After the second day of the Asia Internet Congress,



Simon Leung, Donna Fox, Teddy Wu, Ben Woo, Teddy Wu and myself went for a nice Spanish dinner at the Esplanade.



Thereafter we headed to Bala Clava for some good old drinks and EIC, I dedicated "leaving on a jet plane" to Donna and Simon, but Ray from EIC, sang a Chinese song to them instead. It was cool to Simon, as he was swaying and singing along but Donna was like &^%%/?! cause like me, she doesn't understand Chinese.



Well guess its the thought that counts and I made it up later by attempting to sing them the same song at party world. Man, now I know why I do sports, cause I'll probably have to pay people money to hear me sing.

Asia Internet Congress


Hi Everyone,


I've decided to continue my blogging after the many 'nags' and advice from my various Internet Marketing Mentors. I was so blessed to be invited to the Asia Internet Congress held at the Expo where I was able to meet up with one of my long lost friends Simon Leung.


We first met in Aneheim, USA during one of the Robert Allen, EWI Conferences, when he was still working for Google. To be honest, I thought he was just another average joe with a spice of some Google-cool factor. I never knew that he'll be such a nice guy to hang out with till the last two days of getting to know him better in Singapore. Now I think he can pass off as one of my buddy-buddy friends, i'll probably give him a 6 upon 10 amidst all his continous teasing and verbal warfare. Heh heh, i'll give him a 10 upon 10 only if he comes back to Singapore to visit me again.


It was an awesome time of hanging out and I am so glad that I went to the conference because I got to meet the other Internet Marketing Gurus like, Donna Fox, one of the only professional Internet Marketers who is female, a very talented musically inclined Internet Marketer, Jermaine Griggs, not to mention the MasterListBuilders, Andrew and Joel Christopher, my dear friend and advisor Teddy Wu, my first Internet Marketing coach Fabian Lim, the fun-loving and always happy Andy Hun and lots more.

In everything give praise...even through the shit times

Hi Everyone,

Thanks again for logging on to read my blog, yesterday was one of the worst days I've had. It started off with one fine on top of the $5 coupon that I had already placed on my car's dashboard. After that I was hit with a wave of tiredness and ill-feelings in my stomach...thereafter I was rushing to the production house for my fitting for this Sunday's Sony HD TV commercial and got fined again! It was my fault for misreading the parking fees. I thought it was free after 5pm but it wasn't.

On top of that I couldn't fit in the bride gown that my casting crew had gotten for me. So we had to drive down to Club Street to pick up another three for the clients to approve.

Today, on the other hand started off well with some interesting research for this Saturday's' Business Networking Session at the Central library. It was than followed by an intense personal training session at Fitness First. All this running around made my accumulated tiredness reach a peak. So it lead me to leave my $80 that I drew out of the ATM machine in the machine without realising.

Man! I cried out to God asking why this was all happening to me. However I thank God for giving me a quiet and forgiving spirit. I decided that there was no use in complaining or even cursing as it wouldn't make me or the person hearing my grief feel any better. So I decided to see it as a time to bless our government and hope for more green trees in Singapore....and see my $80 be a blessing to the next person who picks it up.

So why am I writing about all this in this blog? Well, I decided to encourage anyone out there who is facing trials and tribulation in your life. In everything give thanks and continue praising God, cause its easy to say thank you and be cheerful during the good times..but it take character building to rough it out during the bad.

God watches our heart in every circumstance and we need to continually seek Him and ask for His favour. We need His grace to cover us everyday and every hour and his love to protect us from all harm....and lost of money.

I hope you have been blessed and learnt to rejoice in your bad times. Remember its not how we fall but how we forgive ourselves and pick ourselves up a fall. FALL FORWARD not backwards. Think of it like a rugby game where your goal is to gain ground and ultimately score that goal. There is no reward in falling backwards and complaining.


God bless everyone!
