I am really happy.

Why? Because one of my blogpost hits not 1 2 4 8  but 22 pongs on ping.sg

Frankly from a blogger point of view, what I really want is to have people to be interested in what I’m writing. I have NEVER hit more than double digit pongs on ping.sg Never, Ever. And when I see the posts which are usually the popular reads, it seems like there is a regular group of bloggers who are the better high profile types. I must agree their blogposts are really interesting. Otherwise, content which is rather controversial and of adult content will make it up the Ping.sg Most Popular List as well.

In fact, after writing about my first adsense cheque after 1 year, I did wonder how nice it would be if I can appear on the Most Popular Post on Ping.sg

I really did wonder how come other posts can be up there but not mine. Perhaps mine wasn’t interesting enough, exciting enough…

It’s really a good feeling especially the comments for that post were also encouraging!

Thanks for everyone who has left me congrats and encouraging words. I promise I will share what I did to get my first adsense cheque in my later posts.

Look out for them. 

Thank you

 PS: Black Knight is yet another awwwweesome movie! Batman was charming…

Oops! Not Black but Dark Knight LOL

I usually see my Metal Beat Dr ( Direct from Chinese: ??) once every 1 - 2 years. Most of the time after my running events.

Went to see him yesterday but he was having too many patients, I couldn’t wait as I have a class in Orchard. So I visited him again this morning. Waited almost 45 minutes for my turn.

Went for Shape Run 2 Sundays ago. Everything was fine when I did my run which I completed within 80 minutes I believe. The next Monday, my right feet starts to hurt a little and I was busy with an event that I couldn’t find time to see the Dr until today.

He claims to be a 60+ man when he is like looking really young with his head of black hair, dressed in his typical white cotton shirt and jeans. He likes to talk while doing his job. His topic of the day was oon our gah-men. (Content is confidential, tsktsk…)

This experience was different from the rest, as usually my knee was the part which needs some healing but this time, it was my ankle. He performed the classical twist and I went “OUCH”! The crack sound was really loud and certainly painful

Here’s the end result:

I was limping around CCK and Yew Tee with this leggy of mine.

PS: Should anyone need some twisting and cracking, he is located @ West Coast Food Centre Blk 504 #01-222 ( In a provision shop opp Jurong Wanton!)

I would be late for lesson if I didn’t take the taxi. Me and my poor time management! I was at Bukit Batok Polyclinic area. So I would think that my usual 188 route to Pasir Panjang through AYE would be good.

When I boarded the taxi which was within 1 minute of waiting, the driver asks if going by Jurong Town Hall Road was all right. Hmmm…. at that moment, I would assume Jurong Town Hall Road sounds like an expressway. But I was terribly wrong. It was full of traffic lights. And I guess the universal wants me to learn my lesson well so traffic lights were “instructed” to switch to red for most part of my journey. . .

I thought hard to myself and asked the reason of me not sticking to the route which I’m more familiar with and I’m certain that AYE is definitely not full of traffic lights.

• I wasn’t insistent and confident of how I want the journey to go instead I left the decision to the driver. (Serve me right for having to pay extra few bucks and wasted time stopping by traffic lights!)
• I was too trusting of others, thinking that they would put thier clients before their own benefits, just like how I lead my life. (I was proven wrong!)

Somewhat I have the feeling that the driver wanted to take the route which has more traffic lights so that he can earn more out of my journey. Afterall, it was the period of the time where business is tough probably due to the surcharge of 35%?

After realizing all that about myself, I decided to take some actions. The driver comes to this juncture where he could have turned in to continue the journey or to go straight. I knew that section very well. By turning in, I’m setting myself up for more traffic lights and moreover my precious time would be eaten up by the single lane traffic and definitely the traffic lights especially during the knocking off peak period. So I told him why not we take the straight road. And I was pleased with my gut to voice out what I want, to take control.

• Decision once made, we must be ready to face the consequences, regardless if they are wise or otherwise.
• Learnt well from each experience.

I got myself to blame for feeling cheated due to my incorrect decision but the price paid $15.60 (Bukit Batok to Pasir Panjang Hill) will pave way for better experience in future.

Recently, I was very involved in a project management. I was the marketing, the advertising, the adminstrative, the logistics manager, the financial controller. You name what, I do what.

I realize that it is a gift given by the universal to me. I came out with the online & offline implementation of the marketing strategies, the marketing materials required, the budgeting aspect, the logistics aspect, the stage set up … …

All these required me to be really systematic. Organized. I got to have check-list. SOP. It’s so useful. I did not like to have checklist in the past as I feel so constrained by the things which I must follow but after this time, I get to see checklist from another point of view.

I learnt lots from this project management. It is very meaningful as it is my business! Yes my business!

That’s all for now.

PS: I learnt the importance of building good relationship with people of different levels. Extremely important.

I attended National Achievers Congress 2008 for the first time. I am someone who loves to attend self-improvement seminars as part of my learning programme. These seminars are great for re-charging, reminding me of what I need to do, keeping me realistic through listening to people who have been through the path and now sharing their experiences. The seminars also give me idea and ways to increase my personal development, my training aspect as well.

This time round, the trainers whom I was looking forward to are T.Harv Eker, Joe Girad, Blair Sing. T.Harv Eker is my teacher so I was really excited to hear him speak and at the same time, I took the chance to recap on the presentation skills he taught during “Train The Trainer” Programme. I was still simply amazed by the dynamics in his closing.

Blair Sing is closely associated with Rich Dad Poor Dad Advisor and his branding of salesdog. He taught me something memorable “Always Be Closing“. Bought 2 of his books. He is another very cool speaker who used different breeds of dogs in classifying type of people. I have heard about him mainly from T.Harv Eker and I have been listening to his audio programme on training. He shares similar style as T.Harv Eker.

Joe Girad is the man I truly respect and was totally amazed by his will in selling. Very enjoyable hours with him, throwing jokes around and performancing a really risky feat despite his age! He shares very real personal experience in term of the obstacles he went through and emphasized the importance of service as his main key to success. I will always remember what he taught ” One Step at a time”

Overall, I realize that all these successful people are normal beings with exceptional desire to be really successful so that they can contribute much much more in society through their experiences. All of them fell badly, some really badly but none of them submit to adversity. All the challenges faced by them are tests by the universal to see if they are up to the level they deserve.

Every speaker has taught me something. It is now up to me on how I use and apply the acquired knowledge learnt.

I have shared my thoughts, hope you like it.
