Quote of the Day...

You can help ANYBODY...

But you cannot help EVERYBODY...

Impossible Is Nothing

Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it.

Impossible is not a fact.

It's an opinion.

Impossible is not a declaration.

It's a dare.

Impossible is potential.

Impossible is temporary.

IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING.

Thomas Chua Chee Siong

Thomas Chua Chee Siong... remember the name?

Most probably not.. But.. you may remember his story..

Coz I did.. and it has been a decade...

He was a invited guest speaker at our recent seminar for our organisation..

When I first heard his name, the first thing that came to my mind..

"Who the hell is he?"...

Then a reminder of his story..

More than a decade ago (1998).. I remembered reading an article about a teen.. Who got dead drunk at a party.. (How many of us haven't?).. the difference was.. he got so drunk.. he fell from the 3rd storey!.. Paralysed neck down..

Remember reading about it?..

That was more than 10years ago. Read it.. Felt sorry.. Sympathised.. And life moves on.. that's for the rest of us..

Seeing him in person.. in his wheelchair.. in his condition.. so many years since he is forgotten.. Life is never going to be the same again for him..

Luckily he had SOME insurance payout.. and he admitted in the past he HATED insurance agents.. that is till the accident... 10 years on.. His monthly expenses because of his condition.. is still more than $2,000 a month! Unfortunately, for most people, they wait til it's too late...

And incidents like this.. Reinforces and reminds me what I do for a living.. for my clients benefits more than I can imagine.. And that is the miracel of life insurance.. When a promise is delivered.. To take care of oneself or their loved ones.. simply by the magic of ink and paper..

This day on.. Thomas Chua the name may be forgotten again.. We will all lead our lives again.. But I do hope things get better for him.. And he remains as positive as he is now..

Growing Up...

Another phase of life..

Growing Up real fast..

Didn't feel it initially..

Just sign lor.. No diff haha..

But now that the decision on the house has to be made etc..

It's not the same anymore...

Oh well.. Like I always say.. Nobody will ever be ready enough..

Fine-tuning..

Finally.. after all the trial and error.. 

and fine-tuning..

We seem to have settled on a formula that works..

Results are showing..

Keep it coming!!

Batam Trip

Mich won a free 2D1N Batam stay at Holiday Inn from Mediacorp..

Style Wedding magazine I think..

1 of about 50 couples..

My very first trip to Batam.. Was thinking it'll be like 

Bintan with nothing much to do but just hotel and beach..

Turned out it was a lot more fun than I expected..

or it could be just that my expectations were way too low?..

Anyway.. it being free for 2D1N (though we extended) 

must have helped in the fun factor haha..

Breakfast by the Pool..

Bday Celebration

Cable ski/wakeboard..

There's go-kart too..

Cheap shopping and food..

Cheap spa and massage..

If we had more time, We would have gone for the famous seafood..

What's there not to like?

--Ginseng Tonic Maker-- We'll be back..
