Latest News!

It has been a very busy period of time for my life. Yes, I am very very sorry for all my friends that has been waiting till neck long long for my updates here… Its been rather chaotic too… haha!!

Well, let’s track back to somewhere in May 2008. I met up a few friends and we decided to come together and start another business together - in the industry if "Internet Marketing - IM in short". Well, for this, it has been rather challenging cos I have mnimal knowledge about IM and there was a steep learning curve for me. Yes, for that, I have been busy too.

Towards the end of May 08, I have to start 2 big projects for Y’Arts which are both Video projects. One for National Youth Council (VERY VERY BIG PROJECT for me) an another for South View Primary School for a competition. These projects flowed through the month of June.

Lets first talk about the National Youth Council (NYC) Project. We had to film on location at 10 different locations and then do the editing and post production. On top of it, we need to create an animated icon character to go with the video. Its quite a stretch for my team at Y’Arts but I am ver happy that we managed that well! But its been a whole 1 month of non-stop working and many sleepless nights. Camping over at my studio editing away.

Shortly towards the end of the NYC project, I have to kick start South View Pri Project. For this project, I need 5 days of filming and another 2 weeks of endless editing. Producing a re-enactment on the story of our War Heroine - Ms Elizabeth Choy. Directing, Filming, editing, special effects and many more. These added up on top of NYC and literally, I did not go home for about 18 days out of the whole month of June. Its was CHAOTIC!!!!

After all this is over, I finally manage to breathe!! Yes, breathe!!! I look into the mirror and see that I have AGED!!!!! ARGHH!!!! Oh no.. I look shag, completely exhausted, poor skin, eye circles and poor health.. I can literally sit in front of someone talking to me and I just space out and sleep! I had many "Sleep Debt"! Till now, still making up for it. Haha….

However, this breathing period was short too. As things start to slow down, we had to do a project for a friend of mine for Mercedez and that lasted for about 1 week and more sleepless nights and camping over…  Next on the list is an Arts Bazaar held at The Frontier CC for an Arts Outreach event. That was scary cos we only have about 1 week to prepare and go into production of Arts pieces for sales. Crazy time cos we make and make and create and create! But all  went well as we manage them through.

Having said all these busy time, I got to get practical. It can be rather "Discouraging" cos despite we had work so hard and yes, we do get paid for the projects, but this money are just enough to cover the company "backlog" expenses and not enough to really pay us. I got only $200 out of all this projects and financially really had been very challenging. I cut down a lot on meeting up my friends, going out with them (one reason is got no time too) and another is really don’t have the capacity to be spending $$ the way they do.  Thus, to a certain extend, lie had been very DRY!!! Yap, work work work and little play! So friends, do drop me some encouragement to keep me going!!!! Hehe..

But what to do, striving out a business on my own is like this. The initial 1-2 years can be hardship and many give up during this phase but its not going to be me!! I wil definitely pull through. At least the good thing is that my business with zero start-up capital had grown to receiving projects as much as 3k at one go and had network well with many clients and lots of referrals coming in. And its still less than 1 year old! Best of it all, I have a BEST business Partner that is striving thru together. Like the chinese saying, got porridge eat porridge, got rice eat rice. He has been a great motivation for me. Seeing him taking every step towards success with confident and Faith, really keep me going!

Friends out there, its been hard for me, and many of you have extended your helping hand to me too. "Blanjah" me meals, "blanjah"  me movies, and all, I sincerely and deeply appreciate you all! And those that has never "pour cold water" at me but continuously believe in me that I will make it one day, your words meant lots to me. It keeps me going.

A few people that I really want to THANK here in my blog, these people not just financially helped me out in one way or another, they are also people that constantly encourage me and believe in me. But FIRST, I must Thank GOD for guiding me through in my path and constantly holding my hand thru every breakthru. Never forsake me and always stay by my side. Yes, the people….

• My E260 Cellgroup - Ernest, Jianxin, Annie, Martin, Jeffrey, Jean, Carol and Wenbin.
• My life-long friends - Winnie & Pearline.
• My long-distant friends - Carol, Vincnt, Garry Chow. My coursemates - Yutshing & David.

And many others that has contributed to my route to success. Thank you and deeply appreciated.

In fact, I want to specially thank Jianxin from my cellgroup, he once said to me, "Janet, I know you will make it one day, so must keep it up. But don’t forget to take care of your health, you are not made of iron." These words from him really touched my heart and had given me a deep impact cos I really felt the essence from him and his genuine believe in me. Thank You!

So much for thanking people… back to my life story… July 2008.
This month had been an amazing month for me. My whole team for the IM business went up for Money & You seminar. The seminar that changed my life from wreckage to being stronger in 2002. One of my team member is not a graduate so we encourage him to attend the seminar. During M&Y, I relearnt many things that I have forgotten. I also gain new distinctions about my own life and made a major decision to set things right again. Thus, I decided to withdraw from the IM business and focus on Y’Arts, MediCraft and Agel instead. This really lifted quite a lot of pressure from me and allowing me to function better. I prayed really hard to make this critical decision and GOD spoke to me that I should be focusing on the things I really want to pursue. And that there are a lot of other things that need my attention and I should start to make things work out. Keep my small agreements and keep moving on. Not getting stuck with something where the true intention has been manipulated and distorted. I feel a lot lighter making this decision and definitely happier.

Well, so much about my career… guess some of you may find it bored by now… ok, ok… many has been asking me.. what about my personal life? Yes, let me announce officially, I am currently attached. To a man that I trusted, relied on and for some unknown reason, closely connected to. Well, I can’t mention his name here as he would rather keep our relationship low profile for now till things are better for both of us in our own careers. Probably, many if you would be guessing "who is he?" Hehe… someone very unique, and yes, he is a christian too…

Well, it had been a rather challenging relationship for me cos it is nothing like any of my previous love relationship. He doesnt initiate much physical affection to me in our daily life and usually I am the one holding his hand, hugging him and all. But when it comes to emotional level, when I look into his eyes, I can completely feel the love he has for me… That I meant a lot to him. He just dont express them verbally and physically… challenging for me cos I would love to be doted on but it aint happening here. So I am learning to balance myself not to get emotional and learn to control myself.

I do have to admit that sometimes, I envy those whom their boyfriend will shower them with gentle touches and hugs. Showing them that they are wanted. This doesnt happen in my relationship and I guess there must be a lesson I need to learn here… Everything happen for a reason, guess its something that really matters to me that I need to learn or even to let go of. Plus, being with him is the first time after my divorce that I want to get married again! Its amazing how he has shifted my phobia. Really thank GOD for sending him into my life.

Alright… what else…. Bryan? He is doing well, still acting and filming… recent debut are Parental Guidance Season 2 and Mandy and Its Mighty Adventure Season 2 too. Hehe…

Alright.. so much for now… Oh, I started to aprticipate in another new Blog that is really interesting and exciting… if you are free, do drop by and visit… www.inspirationsoflife.com.

Thats all!!!
