New Year Resolution 2008

I spent almost a year browsing through varying free money-making programs but have not really consolidated my earnings or recruited members routinely. So I decided that I should place free money-making programs into a structure. I have given myself 3 years to achieve a residual income of US$1000 every month through this structured plan. However, I have to say that the 3 years will require 2 main ingredients to succeed : Constancy and Belief.

Now for the 15 free money-making programs that I have chosen (note : only the FIRST 15 programs)though earnings are little, the structured plan (if properly followed) can lead up to a sizeable income.

Here is a simple summary of the plan.

Target : US$1000 every month
Duration : 3 solid years
How to : Consistent and timely clicking. Getting referrals. Firm belief.
No. of hours needed per day : 2

Strategy : Achieve an income of US$100 per program per month.
That totals up to US$1000 every month.

Finally, I welcome anyone who believes in my plan to sign up under me and I will guide you step-by-step along the way. But if for reasons you choose not to sign up under me, I am fine with that. Just that, you have to find your way to achieve the proposed target I have set.

I will post my earnings truthfully on a regular basis so that you know the progress of the executed plan.

Cheers and have a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Business from the Professor's perspective

It was a moment I cannot let it pass and I must have it written down.

I was watching an interview with Professor Su from Jiangtong University on ChannelNewsAsia. I thought he made good sense when asked how one can prosper in a place like China. As much as new markets are welcome, China being very cosmopolitan has nearly all kinds of trade one can possibly imagine. For a small business to compete with the big players, one has to find a 'secret door' that can only be discovered with the heart and not the eyes. From a practical point on how one discover that 'secret door', he gave the example of Wenzhou people. They are vibrant and full of vitality. That sustained enthusiasm stems from their culture in that they are hardworking, frugal and willing to endure hardships. Professor Su who had met the Wenzhou people joked with them that if they were to take a plane to Europe, they would take the standing space instead of the seats and this goes to show how frugal they are.

Another point that was brought up on their successes was that they know how to lower cost of production and improve efficiencies. They can even bring the cost of a pencil to near zero cost and this example clearly illustrates Wenzhou's people business acumen.

I was quite inspired by the interview. For that, I will continue to seek the 'secret door' to wealth. Hahahh......:)

PSLE results : A father's kind words to his son

It has been a long time since I checked my Yahoo mail. Today, I stumbled upon this email and I thought this was a good sharing for parents. Hmm...so parents out there, you can certainly take a leaf from Edmund Ng, Singapore Internet Marketer.

And here's the email from Edmund Ng :

"Hi Anthony,

For those who might have kids who were 12 years old, it was definitely an exciting day for many yesterday, especially the Mom and Dads out there. Why was it so? It was the release of results for PSLE (Primary School Leaving Examination).

I was there with my son Brandon to collect his PSLE results. Guess what, he had an amazing result. He managed 178 points. For a moment, I nearly freaked out. He did not manage to get into the Express Stream as the cut off point was 188. As for me, I was kind of stunned initially as I had managed 4As and an aggregate of 241 when I took my PSLE 22 years back.

As Brandon stared at the result slip, tears started dropping from the side of his eyes. He was devastated but deep inside his heart, he knew that he had not made the necessary effort. Of course I felt a little bad as well as I had been really busy with my business and had neglected him.

If your kid had scored 178, I think you wouldn't be sleeping well at night. You must be probably preparing the cane and planning a whipping session. You would probably be hurling abuses at your kid or telling him or her how disappointed you were...not me.

Guess what I told him?

I said, "Brandon, welcome to the real world. You hadn't suffered any setback in life yet. This is the harsh reality of life. What you sow is what you reap and you should stare hard at the reactions of the other pupils. Many of them are enjoying the success of their efforts while you were distracted by the games and tv. It is better for you to suffer the setback now than later."

This is not the end, I told him. I then asked him, "Are you a loser?". He said No and I told Brandon, "You are a loser now! You have a choice, you can choose to be only a loser now or you can be a loser for life. I was a loser once but I changed myself and got back onto track."

In life there will be a lot of setbacks. When you encounter them, just look at the bright side. Overcome your setbacks and you will end up into higher ground. Get swallowed by it and you will be a goner.

I always tell my students and customers, hang around with 9 losers and you will be No.10. There are a lot of losers out there. I was a big loser once. However, there are many who refuses to acknowledge they're one. That is the reason why they live in oblivion and slowly fade off without achieving much in life.

***************************************
>>>>>No.2 SEO Expert In The Making<<<<<
***************************************

Even at 12 years old, my son Brandon is miles ahead of his peers in terms of Internet Marketing, SEO, Link Exchange...etc. I'm not even worried about him not making a living in the near future. I want to pre-warn you, you will see a teenage prodigy shine at the age of 16 and he will be probably the richest teen by then, making his own money.

So...don't be so hard on your kid. Look at the brighter side of things. Make sure you counsel your kid onto the right path. The PSLE is just the beginning and in life there are always ways and means of getting back onto the right track.

I was really laughing inside my heart after I sought out my thinking...30 seconds after I saw the freak result. I think the whole chapter will steer Brandon towards more success. Before that, I used to ask him whether anybody has laughed at him before. My theory sounds like this, if you have not been heavily mocked at, you're probably not destined for big success. For me, I have been mocked at for my ideas so many times until I take it in my stride. Guess who's having the last laugh. ;-)

The reason is simple. When Einstein told people about some of his ideas in his earlier part of life, people said he was crazy. More importantly, Albert Einstein did not do well in School as he felt he was studying something that was either inferior or something that wasn't too interesting to him. He was proved correct. I think E.Q. is definitely more important than IQ."

Thank God! Everything's over.

Guess what? I received a $50 Robinsons voucher for being the best company soldier. Actually, I didn't expect this. Moreover, I wasn't there to receive the prize although many were wondering where I was. Hahhah.... As for the title conferred to me during this reservist training, I would like to place my vote of thanks to the officers, my peers and men for all their help.


I am glad the 2 weeks flew past quickly. I must say that the second week was most tiring because of the 4-day field exercise. In fact, I dread the thought of being in the field because no baths could be conducted. My whole body sticks like glue...yucky feeling!!! The only way to keep personal hygiene was through powder baths.

I also want to thank God for helping me tide over the 2 weeks' of reservist training. If not for Him, I would be suffering terribly. Body aches as a result of lack of conditioning. Migraines due to stress. Fortunately, I was fine and well through the whole training. Phew!!....:)

Anyway on Monday, I am back to business as usual. A lot of backlog to be completed.

Hmmmm..... my next ICT (hopefully my last) will be in 2009 coz I need a year break to sort out my business matters.

Liberty....not entirely....:(

Sunday has finally arrived and I am able to run my errands but most importantly, rest. Sadly, 9 pm tonight, I have to arrive in camp. This in-camp reminds me of my Basic Military Training days.

Speaking of my ICT, the week seemed fine though there were a few strenuous trainings. Anyway, next week is going to be tiring as I'll be onboard a ship of some kind. My fear is feeling sea-sick and unable to go through the entire training. But I will mentally prepare myself and go through the whole training.

Just before I leave tonight, I will be advertising my blogsite through 1-800-mail. If you are interested, you can sign up too. Here is the URL for 1-800-mail : free advertising.

I am certainly looking forward to earning a few bucks while I'm away. I'll be back on Thursday hopefully if the whole exercise turns out well.

Have a nice week ahead!

Condo-mania!

Condominiums lah.....not condom! What were you thinking of?....Hahahahha....

Oh! What a beautiful swimming pool! Having viewed the condo pictures of my good friend's blog, Mr Soo, my interest in condos re-ignited.

Well, I have always wanted to stay in a condo all by myself. The thought of staying in a place of spaciousness and reflections of white terrazo is simply ethereal.

Ironically, I fear staying alone because my mind tends to wander into horrifying imageries and apparitions at night. I blame this on the horror movies and friends' ghost stories. But I guess I have to learn to deal with my strayed mind. Hmm...instead of leaving the condo empty, I will probably rent it out and earn some bucks.

I particularly take a fancy to Newton condos because first, they are spacious and second, they are straddled between town and the heartlands. Pretty convenient in terms of travelling I must say.

Anyway, I don't think I will be getting a condo since the prices are currently on the high side. Perhaps when the property fever subsides, I will be checking them again. Perhaps, 5 years later...

[You can view the swimming pool of Calrose condo at Mr Soo's blog.]

What a lousy day!

Bounced cheque? OMG! An SMS I received from Vic, my biz partner that our cheque bounced for payment of October's rental. Abundance Management is not going to be happy about this.... :( I just wished that this matter could be resolved quickly.

5:30 pm, I met Jason at Ang Mo Kio Cash Converter Blk 710A to help him trade-in his dad's old Palm PDA. The wait was so long. I had to stay with Jason because trade-in require persons 18 years of age and he was 2 years short of the requirement. Yet, I had to rush back to Clear Minds@Fernvale to interview a JC Physics tutor, Eric at 7 pm. When it came to his turn, it was already 6:55 pm. The PDA that was supposedly priced at S$600 was traded in for S$7. Oh no! I am definitely going to be late for the interview with the tutor but fortunately, the interviewee called me up last minute to postpone his interview to Saturday 2 pm. I was quite unhappy at first because of the time and effort taken to arrange for my partner, Vic to be at the interview. Fortunately, Vic was able to make himself free for the Saturday's interview.

Now so much for the above episode. Quite frustrating indeed! But my unhappiness was not over for the day. I arranged to meet a group of ex-students (Eugene, Zexiang, Taichi and Aloysius) for dinner at Chomp Chomp, 8 pm. To my horror, Zexiang called up to say that the dinner appointment was cancelled. Zexiang related to me over the phone that because Eugene is not going, Taichi is not going and that resulted in him not going too. I got really mad and told Zexiang off. I told him I will not be organising such outings anymore. The reason being at the last minute, one of the members will call up to say he will not be coming and this same incident happened on 2 occasions. I mean how not to get angry?.....>:( Zexiang sensed my unhappiness over the phone and asked if he can accompany me for dinner. I refused and told him no point because I lost the mood for a dinner outing.

I hope this will teach them a lesson not to take a promise lightly. I mean it is totally understandable when one cannot make it due to personal reasons such as family matters. I am so disappointed with youths of today.

And yes! I will not organise such outings anymore. Only when there is one, I will decide whether to go for outing. The point I am trying to convey is organising an outing is not easy especially when time and effort is taken for the organiser to co-ordinate the event.

Just my luck, today! How exasperating!...Arghh.....zzzzzzzzz...............

*Breathe in,.....breathe out....breathe in,....breathe out....*

Living is as sleep is.

As a doctor quoted in the Sunday Times, "an average Singaporean 80 years of age spends 27 years of his life sleeping." What? That means essentially, he lives his life awake 53 years only. So why do we sleep? How do we spend our time meaningfully when we sleep? Aren't we wasting our time? I don't understand why God made us this way. On one hand, he wants us to keep watch 'coz he will come when you least expect him while on the other hand, we have to take good care of ourselves, healthwise - simply, sleep! Is a sleep-wake cycle a purposeless routine? Why aren't we allowed to either stay awake all the time or sleep all the time? Sighz.....dilemma, dilemma, dilemma.

Do I live to eat or eat to live? Making sense of this is so difficult. If I live to eat, then I am some kind of a glut enjoying life. But if I eat to live, then living is meant to be purposeful but the joy of living...erm....I can't see that because that means simply working hard, am I not right?

Longing for assistance from readers... I dream.....:(

October is the toughest month. Students stop coming for tuition. Some come back only after the holidays. Rental payment is still as per normal. My salary has to be cut. I am not sure if I have to suffer the same fate in November and December too. Sighz....:(

How I wish those reading my blog can recommend more students to my centre? I need 100 students just to sustain the business 'coz rental is high.

Digital mania

1 pm was my appointment. I had to meet Andrew, someone I have never met before, to buy over a second-hand camera, Olympus FE-190. We met at Dhoby Gaut MRT station control. I fiddled with the equipment and gave him S$200 since it met the specifications from Ebay. It was my first trade from Ebay. What an experience! Smooth-sailing......

About the camera, the images are not fantastic but somewhat average. I can capture some videos but the video is grainy. I am not sure if it was a good deal. Anyway, all I wanted was a digital camera where I can take pictures and load some onto my blog.

Here are some snapshots of my cute niece.

Chemistry rox!

I cannot believe this! Basil and Greg, both my 'tweeties' stood me up. *Arghz.....*

[Calm down, take a few breaths..] Anyway, Basil scored well in Chemistry and so I gave him the permission to enjoy himself. I should not be angry with him for not coming, I guess. Actually, he had the courtesy to leave an SMS at 9 am informing me of his Chemistry marks - '62.5 out of 90' (about 70%). Well done, Basil! You never fail to amaze me. Greg, on the other hand, scored 55 marks and the highest scorer being 60+. Given that, I should say he has performed fairly well but definitely, there is room for improvement.

Since both the boys did not turn up for Chemistry tuition, all my tutoring time was given to Gabriel. Not forgetting, Gabriel has done well too. He scored 81 out of 100 marks, second in class. Good job, Gabriel!

Going back to what I want to share, Gabriel complimented me how interesting my ways of teaching Chemistry concepts was. He suggested that I should write a book on '101 ways to learn Chemistry concepts'. At that point, I have to say I was pretty inspired. More interest grew when he said it can become a best seller. Hmm........maybe I should start compiling and think of what cartoons to use to illustrate the mnemonics. Well, so much for the cerebral humour.

If you have any suggestions or ideas or inspiration, do give your comments or simply hit the 'Chatterbox'.

The Empire Strikes Back!

Hi all,

Just wanna come up with a title to catch your attention. Frankly, nothing great but it is just me , antzman returned from eons back since the inception of blogomania. Hahha... Just to start off, I was so tired out by my tuition from 11 pm to 7:30 am, can you beat that? But no sweat! I enjoyed the session anyway. During the session, I got to understand my 'tutees' (for want of a better word) better from the casual conversations.

I did not know Rainer can be so chatty. He shared his views about life and religion and also his family. One question that particularly stimulated my intellectual curiosity was "Which came first? Dinosaurs or Adam & Eve?" *Scratch! scratch!* And as for Desmond, a good buddy he is (*sarcasm*). He left us at 2 am coz he was tired out by his outing to Johor. It's OK - Forgiven. Hmm.....as for Chun Han, he is reserved, seemingly focussed in his Chemistry and talks only when necessary.

My interesting 'tutees'. Hmm...'tutees' sounds like 'tweeties'. Good! I shall now coin this homonym from my 'tutees' to my ' tweeties' (note the spelling). Why 'tweeties'? Coz I think they take after birdies and also they are gregarious. 'Tweeties' they shall be.

Stay tuned for the next continuing episode of 'ANTZMAN BLOX'..........

Ciao!

~The End~
