Last Night…

I went through your work last night. Yeah, all your writings there.  From the first to the last. You’re right, the melody to this song is good: But you know that wasn’t my reason. Yes, I was stalking. Looking for those entries about us. I wanted to remember the feeling. The good times. And the bad. What draws me to you. Why I chose you… […]

Keeping a Bond Alive

It has been bugging me in the past few months. More so these last couple of days. Our interactions have a regular pattern: we set our eyes on each other. Enjoy each others’ company for a bit. Catch up on trivial stuff and… Talk about business. And then we start arguing. The silent treatment ensues. Either of us would try to fix things after a […]

One Year of BNI Signature

‪#‎BNISignature‬ is a group of business owners and professionals who meet regularly to introduce qualified business to each other. It has been my main platform of meeting people in the last one year. No, it is not my platform to monetise. Yes, there are people out there who can sell RM50,000 insurance policies and/or close RM50million unit trust investments to strangers in one sitting. Please […]

When Feudalism 2.0 Goes Online in the Face of Tragedy

Us vs. Them. This sentiment is no stranger to us. We see it in our daily lives. In the Borneo partners of the Federation, it is even stronger. Since coming together with Malaya, Sabah and Sarawak barely saw the benefits of Malaysia – or so we like to say. I do not deny since 1963, the development – especially commercial, educational, technological and infrastructural – […]

Structured Education – Free and On-Going

So many misconceptions surround the word “networking”. Are any of these scenarios familiar? …Networking is going to functions and meetings, passing out and collecting as many business cards as possible. …Networking is used only by multi-level marketing (MLM). …Networking is automatic. …I always ask for referrals from my clients; yet they rarely refer to me the one that I want? …Networking is fake, impersonal and […]

Structures in the BNI System that Keeps Me Going

BNI, or Business Network International, is the largest business and professional organisation of its kind. This 30 year old organisation has over 178,000 members in 7,094 chapters across 58 countries. It is almost a year since I actively joined BNI Signature. I believe it was the second or third Information Meeting in March 2014. In January that year, I attended the BNI Pioneer (Kuching) launch. […]
