The Woman
Ever since I had Yuniko, my eyes and senses seem to be more sensitive to all cats around me. And when I saw these three cats at Ang Mo Kio the other day, I just can’t stop thinking about them!
First there was this cat wearing a t-shirt and it fits his character so well! He’s the King, so don’t even think of trying to get his attention. He simply /ignore everyone around him. He’s got character alright!
Then there’s this smallest one among the three. He’s super manja and friendly. He’ll come to you when you call for him.

This blog has become part of my memory repository too, in case one day, I forget who I am or needs help in recalling portion of my life when I’m old. And my children and grandchildren can read about me too through this blog. Ha! Ok, back to the article on BT.
Companies reluctant to woo customers with tweet nothings
Nothing to comment on this right now since it was from two months ago. Progression and growth digitally is too fast too furious. Something two months ago may not be news anymore. Just want to post it up as a record for my own reference. And if you’d missed this, for your reading too.
Can you believe it? We’re together for 6 years already! Can’t wait to see what our future will bring for us!
Read MoreThis time round, instead of showing what happened in my life lately, I’m going to share the kind of junk I feed myself with. I <3 <3 <3 snacking! And looking at the stuff I snack on, I'm more a chocolate person than a chip person? Hmm... I thought I like both equally!
More of my live in cubes here.
Woah!!! Baby girl you’re 7 already!! See how time passes by so so quickly! A year in primary school and I can see how much you’ve progressed! Very bright and charming girl you are do you know that? Just like your Ayah.
Again, we are not given the opportunity to spend your birthday with you. We hope you will not think that we do not care about you nor don’t want to be with you. But this is beyond our control. One day you will grow up and you will know why this is happening. We know you will.
Ayah and me wishes you a very happy 7th birthday! Hope we’ll get to see you next week! Bring you for nice meal ok? In the meantime, if you by any chance is reading this, go check your Restaurant City mailbox! Can’t give you present in person, so I’m sending you some furnitures for your restaurant instead! :P
Happy Happy Birthday Minmin!!!!!!!
We love you very much Yasmin! Hope you love us as much too! *MUACK!!*
The one thing that I’ve learned is to keep cheonging (dashing) forward and not look back. Things have been moving pretty fast and furious for the past couple of months. My dedicated team has been very supportive and understanding. They cheong with me. They make things possible for us to move forward and not fall back.
I was told many times that I’m a bad businesswoman. I get eaten very easily by clients and because of the demand I put onto my shoulder, I cheong, break and then gets bitten. At times, because I want to get things done, after much delaying by unexpected situations, I will give in, and deliver more than what was planned for upon project confirmation. That means extra hours put in, more actions carried out and more money going out. I was scold “Stupid!”. How can I have let them take advantage of me like that? *dumbfounded* (Ok I digressed…)
When I say cheong forward and don’t look back, it doesn’t mean that you don’t review what your’ve done and just move blindly forward. The standard AAR (after action review) is still necessary, and learning from past experience and mistake is essential too. But don’t look back at what you were doing before, and then thinking whether or not you shouldn’t have taken that step forward. Don’t look back at the what ifs. Cheong for the why nots!
From my personal experience, here are some tips on cheonging forward:
- Keep a set of objectives and datelines (milestones), always set them at least a week in advance of actual plan, so that you’ll chase it and if chasing is delayed, there’s still time to make up the lost time.
- Take time to talk to your team. Move away from the work desks and get to a cosy corner. Talking and chilling out bonds the team and gives us all time to regroup and move faster.
- Too many meetings to attend and no time to work? Set aside ‘meeting slots’ on your weekly schedule. Once those slots are taken up, push the meetings to the following week.
- Move faster than your client.
- Use google calendar. Make your whole team to use it.
- Never turn down on any opportunities. You’ll never know what may come.
- Balance it, you’ll need both. – Do it for your portfolio and do it for the dough.
My last Life in Cubes post was back in May! Almost forgot that I have got such a series of post! Been moblogging and tweeting more lately, and kinda lagging behind on all the posts for this blog and few others. So here’s a pictorial flashback of what happened lately in my life…
Work’s been going alright so far, the future looks bright.
