I am so surprise to have recieved a long distance call from my blogger fan in Africa, to ask me to continue to blog as he enjoyed reading my blog, am so flattered. And also today I recieved an email from Jillian, one of my best friend I have made during my traveling, asking me to start blogging, so now here I am, I will attempt to write and blog from today onwards.
But share with you what been going on in my life since I have returned from my travels.
May:As mentioned before in my previous blog, that 4 days since I returned to Singapore, I immediately left to go Redang to do diving with 4 of my other divers girlfriends. Redang still has her beauty and nature, a very relax place, the resort we stayed in, fantastic, got the seaview, and the diver master are very knowlegdable and friendly. I enjoyed my 4 days there.

A week after, a friend gave me a free ticket to attend the National Achiever Congress, and got myself introduced to the whole new world of internet marketing. As usual, anything that is new always excite me that I actually purcahse the Tom Hua package which cost me S$4000 (what an investment) But it was good, I got to make many more new friends and create a bigger circle of networking. Since then I have form a small group of 4 internet marketer to work on a project of creating a travel website together, but the process is really slow, cos most of us have our own committment and doing this needs time and commitmment. But I am a strong believer of creating result with intention. So do watch out for the website (:
June:This month, my ex pastor in Victory Family Centre called me up to ask if I can assist him to promote the Tommy Barnett Pastoral and Leadership seminar, since organising event is my forte and am still looking for my niche to work, I agreed to help him co-ordinate the event. It was good and I got to know Esther Soh, she is a cool and efficient girl, we soon becomes good buddy. She has the desire to do buisness in Guang Zhou, and is waiting for open door to venture into the market.
During this time I also had a visitor, Shelley, from England came to visit and I spent a good 4 days with her, and being a host to show her around. We had a good time together. She is now back in England, Managing 2 big department shopping.
Finally in this month, I bought my new Asus Notebook too, am happy to have computer and internet connection.
I got introduced to Laurence by Chee Wee, he had an idea to do Adventure Tour in Singapore. I was excited about this project, and during the 3 weeks had, been working on the project, doing research, report, proposal, but in the end we did not carry out the plan cause of heavy investment and uncertainity of it revenue, also none of us have the relevant experience to carry it out. But at least a good exposure for me to see possiblity and get excited.
I was still unsure of what I really want to do, I want to do events and create children parties, which in fact, surprisingly I had calls to asked me to do parties and assignments during this months too, it was good at least created some income.
July:This is the month for the final count down to the Tommy Barnett seminar, thank God the event went on well and smooth, am happy to see what I have created. Good response and result.
Then Monica was suddenly awarded to the hospital for the shortness of breathe, she been a very independent strong and amazing woman. But suddenly sickness taken over her, even now she is still in the hospital (in and out of ICU) Doctor still checking on her condition, really pray she will get well soon, life will never be the same for her. Cause me to think how precious and fragile life can be.
Again, another new idea pop out, I want to do children camp and workshop, did market reserch
and proposal. See possiblity but yet alot of work and commitment, spoken to Noah (Children worker specialist) but idea fall back on me again, sigh.
Again, this month I was still figuring out what I want to do and should be doing, What's the matter Joy, whats taking you so long? Basically my heart is still unsettled, I was still thinking of traveling and the possiblity of doing it again early next year when a friend I had known during my travels, will be coming to travel Asia for 3 months (so that's why, I do not want to commit myself to any permenant job).
August:I went for diving in Manado (2nd time round) I was so eagerly looking forward for the trip, we had about 9 of us fron Scuba 51 dive school, but this time round it was not as enjoyable as I had went the 4 of us girls came 2 yrs ago. I did not really get to see alot of stuffs too. This trip had cost me another S$1400 in total expenses.
One of the best shot I have taken in Manado (am proud of myself :)
After I returned from my dive trip, I attended a special arranged internet workshop by Tom Hua, and I got to know 2 lovely German lady, Sabine (now in Chiang Mai) and her Sister who came to Singapore just for this talk and is only spending a day more in Singapore, so I volunteer to bring them Ubin and show them around Singapore, we had a good time together. We actually were out for the whole day.
This month I was introduce to Barter Exchange, I attended a week long training, it was a good and eyeopening one for me. A whole "renew" concept of doing biusiness in the modern age.
Also in this month, I got to know Esther Tay,(a used to be very famous local fashion designer, now a uniform designer) through Jerrie Then contacts. I wanted so much to work, really work and do something useful for myself, I went to ask her, if she needs any staffs, I wanted to go back to do merchandising or basically to work, I was also unsure if I want to work in her office in the long term, I am actually trying to test my market value. We then agree to a one month testing period for both of us. I was assigned to help her in the buisness development of a new brand name she is wanting to create. I must say, anything fresh and new always excite me. I enjoyed my work and help her in creating and formulate a work system. When I was doing the market research, I discovered the world new ideas of biusness opportunity.
This month also suddenly, I have been introduce to Skype and recieving alot of people wanting to chat with me. Finding it amuseing and interesting, I began chatting with some of them and infact make some "good" online chat mate. Most of them are guys from overseas like Africa, Middle East and even some local; those who know me, hey I am very open to making new friends and contacts, hehe.
September:This month I was still working on TUP, met up with my LP32 coursemate, life is st least somehow fix and sure, no neccessities of anxiety, it was good to feel safe sometimes. And I do like the feelings, but my ambitious and aspiring nature soon took over me. I aspired more and I want to do more, also my 1 month agreement with Esther is soon up, she wants to employ me, but I was unsure of working with her. Anyway, we went together to the Bangkok Fashion Fair. It was an eyeopening for me and I aquired alot out of the trip. Thank goodness, Sandyha, a new friend I had met in TUP, also happen to be in Bangkok for the fair was there. I spent an eventful nite with her, hehe. We got connected very well and chatted alot.
October:Now I am back to square one, but now I had a purpose and I am sure of what I want to do and create (at least what I think I know) I am now in the midst of preparing my new biz proposal and hoping to get interest investor and relaible partner to join me. I am very excited about this new project and is really wanting to make it happen this time round. I pray fro God's blessing.
But soon this 13th Oct, I will be join my other 20 lovely LP32 coursemate for our 6th weekend together. Am really excited about it and looking forward to it. I will update later.
