My 21st Birthday

Lately I found out that one of my junior shared the same birthday as me. On November 10, the Today Newspaper was first distributed. The Escape Theme Park started operation in the month of November. From 8-10 November, Jia Yee, Mei Yi, Yilin celebrated their birthdays.

6 November, after a "strenuous IPPT", I met Yiwei, Hwee Peng and Wee Keat at a Japanese restaurant in Suntec City. After a sumptuous dinner, they surprised me with a Milo-Horlick icecream cake which was delicious. Received a book titled "You and Your Money" from the couple as a present. A perfect gift.

9 November, after the Thank-you dinner by Mr. Lakshmanan BBM and Mr. Lin Tze Kin PBM at Eunos C.C., I drove off to meet some friends at Cineleisure. After getting a bit lost, I finally got to Cineleisure after 1 hour of driving. After singing some songs in KBox, someone switched on the light and in came a birthday cake. It's an honour for me that Ms. Cecilia brought in the cake. All of us -- Gordan, Andrew, Jian Hao, Janice, Nigel, Lionel, Jas, Ms. Cecilia -- took a picture together before cake-cutting. Thanks to all of them for making it a joyous occasion. Received a Leonard tie, leather shoes and lucky leaf keychain (from Janice), and cufflinks (from Nigel). Thanks Janice and Andrew for coordinating.

10 November, after having some sleep, I went to Cineleisure (again) to watch a movie that I had just turned legal to watch. After dinner, I went to the new Pet Safari at Vivocity. It was quite disappointing. Not many hamsters and rabbits to look at and the shop was smaller than when it was at Eastpoint Mall.

Thank you all who made that day a wonderful one!

Adam Khoo

• Dare to dream and find out how to get there
• For goal setting, focus not on the amount of money you wish to have, but on creating value in doing what you love to do
• No idea is original. Everything is just an add-on to something else
• Knowing how to sell oneself is important
• Good marketing makes bad products die faster
• Making money is just one of many measures of success

Ivan Lee

• Never cast any philosophy in stone
• Ego and contentment will destroy you
• Business is all about being a leader and it is not a democracy
• Be pragmatic to the core
• Pay well, and give job satisfaction (Respect, Empowerment)
• Marketing research and R&D are important. Note: R&D = Rob & Duplicate
• Get people to like you and feel comfortable with you
• Fail in order to succeed, to gain more confidence

Angel and Mortal Encounter

Today is a great day.

After SSA2214 lecture, I bumped onto my Angel! Well, it was her who saw me first though. We played the Angel-and-Mortal game when we were in TJC. It had since been 4 years since my last encounter with her.

We went for a drink at the Arts Canteen. Seems like there is a lot to catch up...


The Angel-and-Mortal Game:
One group of angels would write letters to their mortals, so only the angels would know the the identity of the mortals.
