Enjoyable Start, Workaholic Progress, Exhausted Ending

Date: 22.5.2011
Day: Sunday

Today, we went for Paintball. My team lost all three games and I got shot on my left leg. Haha!! I discover some findings or theory from these three games. Winning is not everything (not because I lose all which make me said this J) but the process is the real thing! Winning is only significant and important when there is a clear a significant purpose behind it!

Later on, we went to the theme park to enjoy! Taken some photos of it! Not very nice that place, satisfactory level just about 5/10. However, we did enjoy ourselves, fully let go with all the stresses and proposals to be done.

Was so so tired until my housemates and me was late for the meeting despite holding four high post in the alumni.

Chairperson, Secretary, Treasurer(me) and Program Head. Lolz! But for me, I was really really tired and exhausted, added on with the flu and blocked nose, I really have no choice. Later on the whole day, we had an intense meeting and discussion about our Alumni magazine and new proposal for the next trip to overseas for our juniors. My idea was accepted - Social Entrepreneurship as the theme. I really want to know more about this term, to be honest! I must start doing some research about it from now onwards. I want to have a more in depth understanding about this issue.

Our program extended till 1am and everyone went back to have some rest. My Indonesia teammates were still working on the magazine but I went to sleep. I felt sorry team, but I am really exhausted and I could not stand it anymore. I also sorry for can't helping much for the magazine because of my poor level of BM. I will do my best to help you guys out ya!

Good night!

A day with multiple principles born

Date: 22.5.2011
Day: Saturday

Suddenly decided to write down my diary. I told Joey something when we sms. I told her a sentence that I almost forgot it. I must always remind myself about this.

‘Life is only once. Things that are passed could not be turned back. So, every moment should be filled with the most meaningful and great memories. These memories when forgotten, you would never retrieve again. Therefore, don’t live life, experience it! Now or Never! Make every moment of your life the best and record it down with photos, videos and writings.”

Today, I was still at the Alumni of Delegates to Indonesia and Australia Camp at Bukit Gambang Resort, Pahang. Today was the second day! What a boring morning we had. Had two talks in the morning and I almost slept for both the talks because of the fatigue and the boringness of the speaker. The second speaker talked about leadership. I asked him a question “There is a thin line between overconfident and positive thinking. Is it true and what you think about it?” Honestly, I don’t get the answer he gave me. Haha!

Our schedule was all gone wrong. Our planning and drafting for the magazine session canceled. Good news for us today, but tomorrow will be disaster for us! I learn a good interactive game from high ranked officer who offered RM 100 for the game winners. He is one of the high rank officer in KPT. To be honest, keep in heart. Haha!

We were allowed to return back to our room early today. Most of my friends went swimming but I slept for about 1 hour plus and when they returned back I changed I went to gym. I did something crazy today! After doing my suppose to do workout (biceps, triceps and arms) and 100 times of sit ups, I challenge myself to do another 100 situps before leaving the gym. Oh my god!! I did it!! And after I came back, I develop few theories that I will hold it from today onwards.

“Set realistic, measureable, challenging goals with a timeline. Then, remember to have positive thinking. Don’t think how to reduce the scale when half way doing because of the difficulty. Always think of how to solve the problem in front instead of find a shortcut to avoid it! Visualize it that you have success! Do it until you reach success!”

I really suffered so much and almost gave up when I did that situps! Haha! At night we had a salam mesra activity at the coffee house. Er.. actually it is just like another dinner. Nothing different, just that we had our own space for dinner tonight! I had a great chat with a talented and great leader – Rizuan. He read a lot of books and had good knowledge. My roommate too, a great leader too! I am honestly happy to know all these leaders; I learn things from them sometimes. Oh ya, I realized something, good leaders read! It’s true. After dinner(very very full. My stomach very small already. Can’t accommodate much nowadays.), I was actually invited by the Australia friends to watch Pirate of the Carribians at Kuantan. I rejected them because I wanted to accompany my Indonesia friends since we will leaving each other soon. I am happy I was accepted at the two sides. Something that I am now very satisfied and happy about is the two groups of delegates could be mix together well yet. Still they stay with their own group despite two days of activities have been carried out together.

We went Sing K at a Karaoke. I sang four songs. Belaian Jiwa, Kenangan terindah, Nothing gonna stop my love for you and you raised me up! After that, we went to an adult merry go round. Did not really want to go up d. Scared of getting dizzy. But at last everyone was up and I followed too. Long time din play that already. Haha! Fun and thrill!!! Before going back to the lobby, I played the basketball shooting arcade game. I broke and set two records for the basketball machine today! 233 and 239 are my scores! Fuad and me played two games of billard before leaving back to my room. He won one game and I won one game. Great game dude!

I reached my room, bath and start writing this blog. Mean time, I gave a chance to Joey to plan something for EN society. I can see she got heart to do things, just that she don’t have a mentor and she is lazy sometimes. She need some directions! I gave her a task with one week timeline. Hope she can make it! I will only give her a chance to prove her HEART! All the best Joey!

Good night my parents, my friends and my love! (who? J)

Singapore Trip

Date: 15.3.2011
Day: Tuesday

Jason and me got an invitation from Ben Aw from Singapore to attend a talk by Ken Chee.
I departed from KL Central at 10pm Monday.
Sat in the KTM for almost 10 hours. OMG!! Luckily there is a bed for me to sleep. Haha!
We reached Woodlands customs and went down. My first encounter was.... THE KTM OFFICER scream at me, asking me not to take photos. Wtf! After the custom checking, we went back up to KTM.
We reached SG at about 9pm and met up with Ben Aw!
Ben, I would like to say a big big thanks to you!
You are really a great great man and will be a good mentor! I am planning to ask you to be our mentor tomorrow!! Hope there will be a good news!
Ben brought us to have breakfast. The Dim Sum was nice!!! Really had a soft pau, crunch dunno what and a thick soya bean drink.
We have a chat about entrepreneurs, business opportunities, sharing of experience and some motivation opinion exchange. His words really motivated me a lot!! I learn so much and will implement it in my life.
Walk the Talk! Talking is cheap!!
One thing I love about Singapore is, everything is about SPEED! Good! No procrastination! Efficiency and Effectiveness are crucial and the key element they practice here. I will enjoy this life!! Haha!!
And also...there is a Mc Cafe here and a new burger at Mc D SG! Will be trying out that burger tomorrow if there is a chance!
Ben is so kind that he also sponsored us for accommodation at hotel at a place call Little India! I am now posting this post at an Indian CC! Haha!! The hotel was okay. We got almost everything we need there. :) Thanks Ben again!
Oh oh!! How could I miss this. Ben brought us to the sea side and for lunch after our discussion in the morning. The beach was.. WOW! Clean although there is a BUSY port over there. From the seaside, we can see hundred of ships 'parking' at the port! Wow! Amazing view. And also, according to Ben, in the night, there will be MANY airplanes LINING UP in the sky to land at Changi Airport! WTF man! They have the busiest port and airport although they are so small compared to malaysia!
One thing I learn here: MINDSET of people can be the destiny of the country! Haha!
TELL YOU ALL SOMETHING! TRY OUT THE KATONG LAKSA AT SINGAPORE!!
It is DAMN nice!! I could have it everyday la!! Haha!
Oh ya.. The rental of a small shoplot in the city area is..... 12k Singapore Dollar and it's not the most expensive rate YET! Convert to RMS? Haha!
Back to the hotel...
We have some rest and we went down for a tour around Little India. It is called little India for some reasons. The population here is most Indians and the shops here are Indian shops! Haha!
After that, i had a short nap and Ben picked us up at 5.00pm. We went to the venue of the talk straight away to set up technical stuff.
Honestly, I was quite worried and nervous. Because later on we will be meeting business people, entrepreneurs and also many Singaporeans. Hmm.. Haha!
HOWEVER, I managed to build my confidence to talk and once I set off , with the momentum I made a lot of friends, got plenty of name cards and FB adds! Social media - FB is really something phenomenal! OMG! I overheard a conversation between a participant and the registration counter lady. The participant said she got the news from FB and straight came to the event. Wow! First time I really realize the power of social media. ^^
Ken Chee, the speaker of the night! HE IS FREAKING DAMN awesome!! Really! He is one of the best speaker I had ever met. More details about his speech is at my last post, written by Jason. Thanks Jason.
I am currently more more motivated and I have made a promise to myself! I want to change and be someone different! I will be a better person from now onwards!
Entrepreneurship!
Start to love this journey!!
Ended my night with going CC with JASON!! He forced me because he want to .. Haiz.. LS! Actually I was not feeling well. I think I took something wrong causing the pain in my stomach! Quite suffer but after visiting the toilet for few times, I got energetic again! I am going to be a tourist tomorrow morning!!
Come on Singapore! Welcome me! Haha!!

What I Learn from Ken Chee

By Jason Yeah:

Went to Mr Ken Chee's sharing session with Winn Shern and it is all thanks to Ben Aw and Mark Lee, both of their invitation from Young Entrepreneurs Society Singapore. Thanks for the hospitality and accomodation provided. It is really nice of both of you and me and Winn Shern definitely appreaciate everything that given by you guys to us.

Ken Chee is a very very amazing speaker. His presentational skill is very awesome and just pretty amazing. Almost managed to get my tears fall and he managed to get half of the crowd sobbing. Until that extent you see. His entrepreneurial life is freaking awesome and amazing. Full of ups and downs and his childhood life reflects that we can actually control our life and nobody owes us a living. And now, he is pretty successful in almost everything he does in his life.

Besides, met really a lot of young entrepreneurs attending the event. Receiving their business cards and most stated, Founders/CEO of what what company really amazes me. These are the group of people who actually upgraded themselves and take charge of their life. I vow to be like them 1 day =) Singaporeans are amazed when Winn Shern and me said, we came all the way down from Malaysia to this event. haha. their expression are just priceless!

Here are some extract from Mr Ken Chee's slides to share:

1. Love all, trust few, harm no one

2. Integrity is the essence of everything successful

3. Serve with value - we do not serve the world by playing small

4. Ego vs Facts - results dont lie, denial prolong struggling

5. Mastery is a function of how one continue to correct oneself from invalidation

6. Choose carefully based on values and be committed.

I really enjoy the sharing session eventhough it is just merely a 2 hours talk. I learn a lot.

Will work with Mark Lee and Ben Aw to expand our networks and grab some business opportunities to actually kick start of entrepreneurial journey. Hoping that Ben will be my mentor as well. He is someone visionary and really committed in everything he does. Commitment and Passions are they key to what he is now.

Only a few words to conclude my night here at Singapore. Ben, I appreciate what you share and we will learn a lot from you. Thanks for the hospitality, thanks for the accomodation and thanks for everything!

To Jo Chow Leng and Redblackwhite Xh, nice meeting you both =) keep in touch!

The Only Thing I'm Addicted to is Winning!

Took from Jason Yeah's Notes.

Over the past week there has been a huge focus in the media and even the geek internet culture around Charlie Sheen's supposed breakdown. He's been doing a lot of interviews, but mixed in are a lot of interesting quotes that can be applied to entrepreneurship. An entrepreneur is on a thin border between insane and brilliant.

"Defeat is not an option. CBS picked a fight with a Warlock."

Most entrepreneurs don't end up losing because of market forces or what can be attributed to specific failures. At the end of the day, entrepreneurs fail because they decide to give up and accept defeat as an option. When starting a company, Elon Musk referred to it as the equivalent of eating glass and staring into the abyss on a daily basis. From day one, you need to realize that there is nothing else you can do accept win. It may be a hard road, but complete and utter defeat is NOT an option. Take a look at Airbnb. They failed to attract any attention and failed continuously for not only days, months, but actually years. Instead of accepting defeat, they persevered and kept going. Most startups don't die due to specific circumstances, but because they commit "suicide". Here are two HIGHLY suggested links:

Airbnb story from Startup School:

Paul Graham on "How Not To Die":

"Everyone will say: Don't be special, be one of us! NEWSFLASH: I am special, and I will never be one of you"

No one will understand what you do. They will hear the entrepreneur word and think you are crazy, broke, or some combination of all three. You have to ignore those that don't understand us. We're a crazy breed and we're special. If this were for everyone, then it wouldn't be special. As an entrepreneur you have to have thick skin and trust that it will all work out. Even when it does, you will always feel as if the respect you deserve isn't where it should be. Steve Jobs said it best with a quote that goes along the lines of "You have to be insane to do this and you have to love it. Any sane person would do what a sane person would: just quit and give up." Focus in on being different and drown out the noise. They will be fast to hate on you and they be move even faster to congratulate you.

"It (my brain) fires in a way, not particularly from this terrestrial realm"

As an entrpreneur you need to think at a level that is not from this world. Look back at the legendary Apple ad campaign about "Think Different". The rest of the world happens to be a fickle bunch. On the one hand, they want to vilify you for being an entrepeneur and take you down a level or two. On the other hand, they want something that is outside the box and pleases them. The only people capable of doing that are entrepreneurs. If what you're doing is criticized as "tame", then you are doing something very wrong. At the end of the day, you should seem as if your creation is from another planet. Your brain needs to think in a manner that is truly extra terrestrial.

"I have one speed, one gear ... go!"

There is no slow down mode when it comes to entrepreneurship. You need to be always be five steps ahead and pushing on red line. The main advantage of a startup is pure acceleration and speed. Speed in the real world is calculated by distance over time, I'll declare that startup speed is the amount you want to accomplish (alot) divided by the amount you want to focus on (a small focused portion where you have domain expertise). Accomplish something sizable and focus on what matters. Say no and cut out a lot for each version. It will let you move faster and stay in that one gear that matters: Go!

"Can't is the cancer of happen. aka I can't do it."

Yoda said it best: there is no try, there is only do or do not. As an entrepreneur, whether you made something happen is a very binary answer. Either you have made it happen or you have not. By saying "I can't do it", you are setting yourself up for failure and almost certain death. Take a look at the most successful companies in the technology sector and you will realize that "can't" is not in their DNA. The best companies defy the laws of possibility and do what many would simply throw into the "can't" category. Dream big and look for scenarios where many would say can't and make something happen.

"I exposed them to magic. I exposed them to something they'll never see in their boring normal lives...they'll live with that for the rest of their lives."

Your product needs to be the equivalent of pure and utter magic. One of my favorite Techcrunch articles from Paul Carr is centered around this notion of technology being magic. You need to wow people, many of which you will never meet. The best products will seem like magic to most of the general population and be an escape from their normal boring lives. A few days ago someone asked me, "How does Onswipe do what it does?" and I answered back with a simple response: "Magic. We code magic."

It's not about finding celebrity trends or other silly things. It's about looking in places you would have never thought of for inspiration to make a better product and a better startup. Many of your influences will come from the startup world itself, but many will come from random offbeat sources. No matter what, just keep winning.
