Just got some news from my friend that another friend of mine is hospitalise for a bad fall. Another friend’s mum is diagnosied with cancer. Recently, I have been making more trips to hospital than anywhere else. Either for good news, which is someone has just given birth or bad news, someone is sick. Human beings are so fragile, while we complain about hot or bad weather, tedious work that seems never ending. I am comforted, but also sad to know someone is struggling with staying alive. Simple yet so difficult?

Sounds familiar? This is what our parents always like to tell us. Of course, back then I couldn’t understand. However now as I grow older, I think I have realise why is that the case…

Like we always used to tease our parents about their generation of songs, the singers or celebrities. Now the teenages or youngsters in their twenties are listening to songs that we don’t know as well. Imagine just a 10 years or so apart but the difference is so great. So between us and our parents, the age gap is even bigger..

Certain things that I don’t understand or see why now I can better appreciate and see the reason behind it. So is it really that you are wiser to understand now?

This is an upcoming project that I participated in it. It is a book by 60 co-authors making up of various entrepreneurs to talk about their life journey, their business and their family. Answering some questions asked by most people, such as why start a business? How to run a business successfully to higher height and etc. I am happy to be part of it and hope that I too can help contribute a minor role to improving our society. The book is expected to be launch in August, do reply here if you want a copy. I will update you once it is released..

The month of April is a roller coaster ride for both me and my hubby. He has recently been promoted meaning more work responsibilities. However, family commitment required much of his attention as well. We have to go though together braving the storm and heat literally as well as to strike a balance between work and family. On my side, since putting more attention on family means lesser focus on work. Inevitably, some bad news hit me and hit me hard, however, the reality of life and the business world. Life goes on with or without you. Undeterred, I want to create a better life for myself as well as for my hubby…To a better tomorrow, that is our direction and focus!
