Cover Shots!

It's been a hectic week for me.. again. Even though the Dr Demartini seminars are over and a certain serenity has returned to the Global1 Events office, there's still much post-administrative paper work to be done. Jo was nice enough to allow me to attend the Breakthrough Experience for free! Although I was not on the payroll during the two days, I thought it was worth it. I ain't complaining when people are dishing out SG$1,799 for it and I'm getting it for free! Learnt a couple of things during the seminar. Dr Demartini's way of looking at life and the universe is really different. It was interesting to learn a whole new perspective on life. I actually took a picture with Dr Demartini after the seminar but the photo has not reach me yet.

Well, beside being busy with the seminars, I was also busy getting my face on these mags. Check it out. I made 2 covers in just a month!

Being on the covers of both PLAYER and RICHES can't be good for my reputation..... And why can't these people use different pictures of me?!? Geez...

Exam results came out today.. Kelly was pretty upset and disappointed with her results. Darling, don't worry too much about the grades ya. Like I told you, grades are only one part of the equation and are not everything. What matters is what you take away from the semester. The experience and knowledge that you've gained are forever yours and nobody can take it away from you or slap a grade on it.

Well, I'm starting golf lessons tmr afternoon, got a birthday party at night and got a camp meeting to attend on Sunday. My schedule's even busier now than before the exams!

Dress Fancy!

There's a new blog shop in town...

That's right! My dear Kelly has launched her very own blog shop! Dress Fancy is now having their launch party and is featuring their Launch Party Collection. The designs there are unbelieveably good. Plus you get to oogle at two pretty babes.

What's there to not like.. dressfancy.livejournal.com.

Dress Fancy and stand out from the crowd!

Dr John DeMartini and Global1 Events

Whew, taking a break from all the updating of Duchess Bags. Business is slowly picking up. It started out slow but it's gaining momentum now.. Hopefully, it'll kick off like how I imagined it to.

Anyway, some updates on my life. Look at the title of this post. I've been hearing those words a whole lot since last week. Guosh managed to net me a temp full-time job at an events company called Global1 Events. No , that's not spelled wrong. The "1" is there officially. Don't ask me what it stands for though. Global1 Events is essentially a sister company of an Australian company called Global1 Training. Global1 Events is his sister's company actually.

We're bringing in Dr. John F. DeMartini for seminars on Thurs, Sat and Sun. This is Dr DeMartini.
If you've ever read the book "The Secret", then you'd probably know him. He is one of the featured teachers in The Secret. He will be coming down to Singapore for two events - The Secret Revealed and The Breakthrough Experience.The Breakthrough Experience costs a whopping $1799 and that's the early bird special! So anyways, I'm super busy in the office cause the phones won't stop ringing and generally because Singaporeans are a pretty kiasu and kanchiong bunch. They call for every single reason! Some freakin don't even know how to copy and paste a link in a browser! Geez.. talk about technologically backwards... And Singapore's supposed to be on the fore-front of technology. Go figure.

Well, tmr's The Secret Revealed and I had to stay in the office today till 12am to finish up some paper work. There's going to be about 1000+ people at the event tmr, most of them pissed off with the admin support they've been receiving. Fingers are crossed that they don't smash the registration tables.. Oh yeah, the event's at Suntec City Gallery East Level 3. If you're in the area, drop by and say hi!

Reee-wind!

Wow time has passed so fast this week, I still can't catch my breath although it's the end of the working week! Let's rewind back to last week. Can't believe it's only been a week since the holidays, I've been doing so many things, it felt like a whole month's past.

So we go back to last Wed. It was the last day of the exams! Our last paper was Real Estate Management. Think I did okay for this paper.. Actually I think I did okay for the entire exams this semester. Not too good but not too bad either. It's finally the end of the exams and the start of our 3-month long holiday!!!!
Yes, that's Cad showing how happy he is. Well there was work to be done for the camp so immediately after the exam, we went to distribute flyers for the newspaper collection on Sat. Hardworking huh.. Who would go distribute flyers directly after the last paper. Only us insane students!!

In the evening, it was Shimin's ROM dinner. The Justice of Peace was invited down and Shimin and Soo Meng exchanged vows in front of us all. I'm still so happy for those two! Can't believe they finally got married!! Congrats you two and stay blissful!

Hey I still don't have the pictures I took during Shimin's ROM dinner! Someone send them to me!!

And of course, how else to end the night but by doing a bit of partying!! So we went down to Zouk, where I once again met up with my uni friends.

I went to dance with my uni friends and when I got back, Shimin and her stewardess friends insisted I drink with them because I disappeared for so long. Well, I'm no match for a hardened stewardess so I ended up drunk and Cad had to send me home. Poor Kelly had to spend the night taking care of me. Thanks darling! Without you, I think I would have been puking all over the place already.

The next day, I got up in the afternoon and started writing up my resume. Haha.. Was supposed to send the resume out but didn't get round to doing it. We went for a movie after that. Boy am I glad I didn't suffer from any hangovers! =)

Duchess Bags!!

I'm finally back again!!!! I apologize for the long long break from blogging. Like I mentioned in the previous post, exams were hogging my time and after that I was doing something on livejournal that the ladies will love.

Well the time has finally come to unveil what I was doing for so long (actually it was about half a week la, but never mind)!

Introducing...


That's right! I started a blog shop! Can't believe I actually did it! What's this Duchess Bags all about, you ask? It's mainly a shop that sells COACH items at great value. So all you COACH fanatics out there, mai tu liao!

For starts, I've lined up some great special offers to launch the site! Be sure to check it out! The prices will drive you insane!

Well, if you noticed, the blog shop was done on blogger instead of livejournal. Why? Because the interface in livejournal is so damn hard to deal with! Plus blogger has the widgets which made things super easy for me! haha..

Eh don't read here already la. Faster go check Duchess Bags out! Must support support ya! =D

It's gonna be unveiled soon and it's gonna be big so watch out for it ya! All I can say now is that the ladies are gonna LOVE it as hell!

Well got a paper tmr and on Wed. Wish me luck! =)

NAC 2008 Reviewed!

So I attended the National Achievers Congress (NAC) 2008 yesterday and sat through two speakers. I went a little late but managed to catch T. Harv Eker's seminar just in time! For those who don't know, T. Harv Eker is the author of the best-selling book Secrets of the Millionaire Mind as well as the owner of Peak Potential Training.

Well that was my first time listening to Harv speak. I've seen his books before but never got round to reading them. I must say, Harv's a real dynamic speaker. He gets the crowd all pumped up and excited about what he says. While he does make sense in the things he says, it's not something which I've never heard before. Having read books by Robert Kiyosaki, Donald Trump and been to Adam Khoo's training camps, I guess I've figured out that they all pretty much say the same thing.

Robert Kiyosaki has his EBSI Quardrant and Harv has his MESP Quardrant. Harv basically motivates the crowd by empowering them. Telling us things like the 3 Types of Conditioning (1. Verbal Programming, 2. Modelling, 3. Specific Experience), Obstacles to Success (Fear), the Process of Manifestation (Thoughts + Feelings + Action = Results), the Victim Mindset (Blame, Justify and Complain) and did comparisons between the rich and the middle and lower classes. Some of the things that he says are the same as what Adam Khoo says. Things like the Victim Mindset, admiring the rich instead of rejecting them ("Bless that which you want"), reasons to create wealth, etc.

Things were actually very good until he started hard-selling his training course. He used some gimmick about lowering the prices and got everybody all excited about a 5-day course that costs S$1995.00. The course was originally going for s$18,000.00. Either way, I'm a student and can only afford the course if it was going for S$50.00 which I think was not going to happen.

So up next after T. Harv Eker was the No. 1 Best-Selling Salesman of the world Joe Girard. Joe's an actualy record holder. He's in the Guinness Book of Records as the "World's Greatest Salesman". Joe has also written several books, such as best-selling How to Sell Anything to Anybody.

Joe's pretty old. I could tell that age was getting to him when he spoke. While not as dynamic a speaker as Harv, at least Joe didn't hard sell anything to anyone. If anything, I think he was trying to sell himself to the audience. I picked up many useful techniques in selling myself to people. According to Joe, everyone's a salesperson whether they like it or not. A preacher's a salesman cause he's trying to sell religion, your teacher's a salesman cause he's trying to sell education, etc. One thing I learnt from Joe is that after-sales service is everything. That's how he got to the top and stayed there for so long.

Joe is the type of person that would go all out to service his customers so they keep coming back and keep bringing their friends. In a world where money means everything, Joe's techniques brought a human touch back to business. Although the techniques were unique back then, I think it's now been rendered pretty common after-sales service. Afterall, his book came out in the 1970's and I think the major corporations would have picked up a lesson or two from him since then.

Well, NAC will be back next year and Robert Kiyosaki's coming to town! That's right! Rich Dad himself is gonna grace Singapore with his presence, along with his drop-dead gorgeous wife Kim Kiyosaki. I might or might not be going. It all depends on whether I can get free tickets again. Haha..
