What would you say to yourself 10 years ago?

I guess "balancing of life" is very important to everyone's life.
Without a balancing point, you are just walk like a zombie, isn't it?
Even, you know to handle your emotional and wisdom, you may still a well equipped zombie (still a walking dead. LOL!)

There is always up and down in our life.
For me, these are so important:
1. Family - Love, Friendship
2. Career - Dream, Income
3. Personal - Attitude, Knowledge

Okay, let's do some exercise/review to know ourself better!
Let's look back to 10 years ago. Who are you that time?

I was 13, who were studying Form 2. I love games & sport, rather than study! Haha!
I was a chess player (distinct representative), number one of Penang memorize competition (11-13 years old), chinese society president, enjoying taekwondo and boxing, yet, I am the one who get number one in "ponteng" (at least 200 days no going school during Form 4 & Form 5), sleep in class and tuition centre,DOTA and Counter Strike kaki (they called me Sniper King, LOl!), and many more negative things. ZZZ. But luckily, I get a quite colourful result for my SPM and further my study to Matriculation Melaka.
Thank GOD, I am part of YMC member when I was studying in Melaka! Haha! We love sports, chui sui and we are proud of being as a YMC. hahahaha~ We are playful, yet we are hardworking toward chasing our dreams!
As I said in the "About Page", I love baking and I wish to be a chef in future. I decided to take Food Science and Technology in UPM. However, Life & Time change my mind. I still loving to do baking, however, I am now an entrepreneur.

During life in UPM, I used to adapt in new situation. I have lot of course-mates (line parallel with gossip level, LOl!)
I am not that mature, I love travel, I love making new friends and I enjoy University activities. I still going for taekwondo (I know, I looks noob in the photo. >.<)

I really appreciate being given the chance to participate Pesta Ang Pao & Zhong Hua society, even though it consumed a lots of my energy, money and time! XD
I gained and lost, and being appreciate.
I don't know why, but,
We are always that high profile, especially when in a large group.
We look normal, but playing crazily
We have different points of view, we argue, but we still being in a "family".
# We love to throw people, yet love to being thrown~ (Btw, I have 3 years of this experience! LOL!)

I have organised "A Date with Bloggers". Done quite many mistakes, but thank GOD again, I survived. Hehe~ =D
If talking about myself, firstly, I would declare that I am not a GAY! LOL!
Even though, I have these actions & activities:

I am a gentlemen, good to girls, might be flirty, but I am loyal!
What to blame? Women population higher than guys, no matter in University or working life. LOL! XD
# These photos were taken from my Facebook, which motivated me to write this post! Haha~

If I had a chance to talk to myself 10 years ago, what would I say?
I would pat his arm and say "You must be very tired, Thank You!". And, pat his head, "What cha waiting for, keep on moving la~ Hahahah!"

How about you? What would you say? Share with me! =D

Life after graduation - What does it mean?

It has been half a year after graduation... The real world doesn't surprise/shock me, however, life did changed... Most of the friends are far away, busy for working and lazy to hang out (me)... Haha! Btw, yumcha session, badminton, futsal games are not that easy to organize anymore. =(

It doesn't affect me. (LOL, learning someone replies on YES or No issue. Hahahahah~) Perhaps, it is because I had chosen the different road when I was studying. Quite immune to the real world. At least, I didn't wrote something negative or over-motivating status at my Facebook. LOL!

Some may asking me, "What cha you are doing recently?".
Well, my answer always be "Doing marketing, help people to boost up sales and build brand."~
Some others, who know me well, will ask: "No more chasing your food dream? How about your chef ambition? Bakery? Food blogging?
Well, hahaha! *silent*... ... ...
Btw, looking back to 2007, I did grow a lots!!! LOL!
- Someone who didn't dare to speak with girl,
- Who enthuse over chef/baker, enjoying simple life. (very simple & pure perception toward life)
- Stepped into University, applying wrong course, due to inappropriate message from a senior..
- Had first love that cause me to take a turn...
- Starting to participate University activities, socialize, organize programs, read inspiring books, pay money to learn online, set target for life, etc...
- and keep moving until NOW!
Anyhow, I do really appreciate the "TURN" that I have made...

Now, being as a few months entrepreneur (Hahaha!), I would say life is beautiful...
Life is my teacher, she teach me a lots...
1. Face MISTAKES, Learn from MISTAKES! We all are making mistakes in our lives, it is natural, and it's the only way to get us improved. Never afraid of making mistakes and choose to escape. Do nothing to avoid mistakes, it's already a MISTAKE!
2. It is good to be fast, but, NO RUSH. A Chinese phrase “欲速则不达” is real!
3. Life is about CONNECTION. But, it doesn't mean you have to flattering, you should have your own stand and idea!
4. Understand our own, know our VALUE. Putting ourselves on the right position.
5. Plans never catch up with changes.What you plan, might not be accepted by public. However, just keep on GOING.
And many more...

The objectives are both short and on a long term basis. The short term objective is to provide all the children with a safe and supportive environment. The focus will be on the development of physical, mental, emotional, educational, social and recreational skills that will create awareness to structure and mould the child’s future. The longer term development includes the options that are available for the child’s future, supporting them to complete the tertiary education preferably to University level. For those who are unable to complete the basic education, they would be trained in developing their skills by educating them in skill training centers. Through home visits and working with parents, they would like to ensure that eventually the child is reunited with his/her family thus becoming the backbone of the family.

It is a non-profit, non-governmental organization catering to the needs of neglected and/or abandoned children in Penang. It was officially launched in April 1992 by Puan Sri Chua Kah Peng. The objectives of CPS are both immediate and longer-term. The immediate objective is to provide children at risk with a safe, supportive and conducive environment (Shelter). Their concerned and focused areas include the emotional and physical development, education, social and recreational skills. At the same time, CPS aims to work with parents and other family members, so that the child can eventually be reunited with his/her family.
