Amazing People

Around me are filled with amazing people... so lucky to be surrounded by such wow personalities who constantly inspire me to be a better person.

Ont
Got to know her more during a Myanmar trip together recently and she is a different breed of Thais - straight to the point, understands our industry well and has a fast logical brain... I like. Already felt that working with her will be a breeze.

On top of that, she is pretty, has a personality and tons of talent in many things things that is non work related! Check out her oil paintings .... how cool is that!

Ivan Micheal Pung
Met him on my way back from massage (lousy flights giving me severe back pains and migraine). He was bringing Kira to the library then swimming lessons. His over sized bag weighted down by his laptop and work to be completed during Kira's one hour swim. As usual, he complained he is going crazy with the overwhelming workload, what with a solid day job and a booming personal dive business. Plus two young girls who demand all his attention when his wife, Karen is zipping around the globe, full time.

When when you slow down and think about it, Ivan can choose not to load himself with his two daughter's activities. He can be the typical father figure who talk about importance of enrichment classes and holistic learning but really don't participate in much. But Ivan being Ivan, he will tell you he is dying and have zero time, THEN he will simply sleep less and still try to do more.

Ivan, you have my 100% respect.

My Mother In Law
To sustain something long term is harder than to perform something spectacularly short term. And my MIL is those type of people who work tirelessly, not asking for credits. The photo above is, by the way, not my MIL... It is the naughty Megan Loh whom my MIL is looking after everyday.

Ok, take off the shades and here we are .. cheeky face.


She climbs up and down, shakes right and left... She is unstoppable. And for those who have seen my MIL before, you know she is very small and thin. No easy feat to chase down the little rascal...
She is the reason why I am able to sustain my work. She is the reason why Megan is OH SO HAPPY and has so much energy to be OH SO ACTIVE....
