Warren Buffet’s Quote: -
Don’t lose an ounce of reputation and integrity, not one single ounce. You can always make money back, but once you lose trust, it will take a much longer time and effort to earn back than money.
How you do anything is how you do everything.
How can any team not pick up Jeremy Lin after he owned the #1 pick; John Wall in Pre Season 2010?
Read his story. A boy/ man that honors God every step of his life. Ah-mazing -
“Jeremy Lin led his high school team to the California state championship, but was not offered a Division I scholarship. He then went on to dominate the Ivy League while playing for Harvard, but went undrafted in...

Relish a short break like this!!! What a hectic and fast year 2011 has been.
Jan is almost coming to a close in 2012. Moved house, new environment etc… Took up Kickboxing classes in the CC. Ha ha. Not sure how I’d fare though. I really can’t believe I’m going to turn 24 this December. Seems pretty surreal and somewhat unbelievable. The last time I met some amazing 24 years...
If Dennis Crowley, Andrew Mason & Mark Zuckerberg can do it, all of us can too!

Be a salt in this world. Also, a team player.
The sermons over the weekend were wicked. Ha ha, so applicable on a Monday Morning in Office. People smell as if they just rose up from the grave…
Covering people’s duty ain’t the most fun thing to do. But versatility is a strength. If you need to troubleshoot simple tech problem, you know who to go to.. Though, yeah, it may mean...

Saying “NO” is key to life. Learning to say “NO” to things is as important as the reverse. I love watching Shark Tank; man, if you haven’t watch it? Get some!
Pastors are the best
Pastor How and Lia are simply the best because they always give us the best.
Bishop Dale Bronner brought a Word in Season especially to many of us that are going out to work or have just started a few years in the workplace.
3Rs to success in relationship….
Respect… Responsibility…… Relationship……….
It’s amazing ain’t it. How we can...
Geroge Papandreou, Prime minister of Greece, made a decision to hold a reference to the EU bailout plan which could potentially bankrupt Greece caused the equity market everywhere to open sharply lower.
With great power comes great responsibility. As a prime minister, one word from him can cause global phenomenon.
Does it mean that it’s time to sell? Not quite…

Value Investing
Expiration Friday was last week and yes! It’s time to sell options contract once again.
Many went into the market for the first time and poomb… $$$. Well, in no time, they’re going to be great in what they do soon!
Red Blood @ Manchester stadium today! Sad day for United fans.
Tomorrow is the start of the 3rd week of the month!!! Time to Identify some really good stocks & sell options!
Just watched Footloose with a couple of guys…
Love this remake, although it’s a bit funny…. 1980s having iPod classic and camera handphone…. Errr?
Absolutely enjoy hanging out with people who can take a little bit of jokes and not take life so seriously. By that, I don’t mean wasting life… You know what I mean yo.
The Lord giveth, the Lord takes...
Just read a 300 pages book on Investment..
Summarize simply in one sentence: Buy Index Fund & forget about mutual funds managed by fund managers.
Just because stock price is not up to expected doesn’t mean it’s worthless. Sometimes it’s just undervalued.
Just because someone’s not in the conversation amongst humankind doesn’t mean he/she cannot be great! Invest/believe base on essence, not just current performance because many times, performance may just be for a season, but fundamentals stay true in the long...
Paths/ Purpose
Experience is like a mother, it teaches you new things in every phase of your life…..
Went out with two groups of people, with very different goals in life…. And the places each went is very different.
DInner with Zhuo and lads is listed as a “must-go”. Then, one of the marketing director of a club invited the CozyCot Team to his party because he unintentionally played us...
Thank God for such a fantastic weekend!
If not for His presence, I don’t think things would have been that smooth. I was able to see things clearer, mind freer!
Although I had a great time at the event, particularly conceptualizing & running the first ever Singapore outdoor speed dating competition http://a.ly/Tw , I really miss church. The smell of it, the people. 9 years+ on…....
Team
I love being in a team. Be it just being a member or taking charge.
There’s unbelievable power of a team! It’s just God’s way of saying - Don’t do life alone…. Be in a team (Doesn’t matter what religion, color nor race).
Some of the best people to work with are not what we project them to be. The colleagues I’m working with are immensely dedicated....
Layed my hands on Photoshop
Finally got hold of a chance to use the CS5 software that has been laying in my MacBook pro since a year ago!
That’s none other than Photoshop! Got to design some certs and learnt some basic editing! Love it…. Ok. Gonna learn a little more to be more relevant, understand how designers are always frustrated by the minor changes (Last min. sometimes).
Anyone willing to teach this lost...
Attending my first friend’s wedding end of this year…. Wow… I’m growing old huh? Everything seems so surreal just 2-3 years ago…
Yet another great Pastoral Mtg tonight! I think I’ve never felt so contented for a long long time.
BF 2011’s going to be my best BF yet!

Blessed Night
One of the rare night out with Jason Chan and his CG friends tonight…
There’s this girl from Myanmar from his CG that inspires me.. She speaks in a heavily Burmese accent. Nonetheless, I’m very inspired. She’s not just any Burmese, she was part of Destiny’s International for almost 14 years!
An amazing heart for people… She left her family back home just so...
Back to School once again
I love learning….. It’s something I can do every single day of my life. I’ll take every opportunity to learn…. Learning about what life can bring to me. Learning would be useless if it stops at us. We need to impart it to the generations after ours!

Listening to your own preaching is soooo funny… I just can’t stop laughing….
1 puts 1,000 to flight. 2 put 10,000 to flight.
Co-Leading a CG with my good friend Wendy is such a joy….
Focus
Gymming is just like living. Whichever part of the muscle you focus to train on will grow.
To grow, we need focus. Do whatever it takes to have focus…. It might be cutting the time spent on certain things in life, the thing that is preventing you from going further. Be relentless in keeping focus because that will cause growth.
Try following #girlsdeals on twitter. Ha ha… Computers know girls better than guys I reckon..
Contented!
International Women's Day
8th March is International Women’s Day! Let’s honor every woman (:. Not just for today, but every day and every where we go…. Every woman, young & old is a princess in God’s eyes.
It’s an honor for me to have great biological, spiritual, overseas mum.. They are just simply amazing!
Love God, People, life.. And KEEPING FIT!

How does it feel like when Man Utd approaches you to play football for them?? It feels like all the years of hardwork, diligence and slogging has paid off…. I’ll rather be a reserve at a top club like Man U than be a Star Player at Leyton Orient. The former gives me room to grow, being inspired by greatness around me, while the latter can potentially lead one to assume that he is...
Whose fool are you?

Honor is such a rarity in today’s term…..
Give honor when honor is due… Is what we heard all around the world. It has an element of truth in it though. In Kingdom principle - Even when one is not honorable.. Give honor nonetheless…
Inspiration plucked off the air.
I’m awake at 7+ am on an off-day…. On my right is my Bro Jem Quek who is in his dreamland…..
Ha ha…. I doubt he has any idea that I’m talking about him… Ha ha.. Well… Let me just summarize one sentence about him. A simple person with a great heart for God and people.
Let’s talk about the weekend shall we? HoGC is my Home….
Personal...
Great leaders are somewhat controversial…. I’ll rather be controversial and make things happen than to stay on the fence…
Tomorrow, here I come.
Be simple and walk with eyes opened.
Growth of a person is sometimes not just determined by his leader(s), but by his followers as well… Feedback from the ground is always vital….. Knowing how your people feel… Is vital for growth..
Attended a private event that hosts all the biggest Marketing shakers in Singapore. 3rd space must be invited….. Was there to help out as we’re hosting these “Shots”
I’m just there to listen to these great minds talk…. To be honest, I was quite tired after working till the wee hours on 14th Feb…. Ha ha. Yeh. As our Marketing Manager puts it… We have...
Patience & People
Patience is a virtue that is rarely displayed today….
Instant cash, instant win, instant food….. A display that people want things right away, NOW! It saddens when Sports Managers are only given 10-12 games to prove themselves and their fate is sealed right there and then. Companies sack employees, treating them like pawns in a game of chess…. Arh, just another pawn…....

Steve Blake….. Unsung hero. Talk about Lakers - Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum, Ron Artest…. Who would ever talk about a reserve, 6’3 Guard out of Maryland by the name of Steve Blake (Even his name sounds ordinary).
Welcome to the deepest basketball bench in the world… Lakers. It’s player like Steve Blake who can shoot 3s’ during the clutches of times...

Watched Footie at Liverpool’s Home Ground in Singapore with some of the HoGC Men! Ha ha. I love the passion of the LFC’s supporters. I’m a Man U fan for life, but I salute Liverpool fans….. They have been an underachieving bunch but yet their fans are still so loyal…. Take my hats off to those loyal supporters.
Liverpool won 1-0, of course!
For a sports fanatic, we...
A fruitful trip
Been over 10 years since I’ve visited my mum’s hometown. Going there as an adult now certainly seem a little different.
A little history of my very own mum and her family made me more connected to my very own roots. They used to pick pineapples every single day. Ha ha… Look at the picture below.. Pineapples are vast in numbers! There’re Hectares of land of Pineapples, Palm...
