Knowledge Economy

Nowadays when the economy is in a flux and chaos, even banks can go bankrupt, many businesses going up and down. Everything is changing even the eyes of investors...In the past, they were looking at potential billings, but now even billings are not stable as the market condition changes. Thus they now look at asset value of a company, e.g. intellectual property, human capital, expertise, creativity.

Also to add on is that I learnt that owners don't sell good businesses, so it's good to look in-depth rather than to be superficial...

Finally Up and Running

I finally got my Company's website: Believe NJ Café up and running, after much struggle with the decision of whether to use WordPress or not. Initially, the Ngee Ann students helped with the website setup, and subsequently handed to me after their end of project. It was my first time using WordPress, and I spent some time exploring its capabilities. Nevertheless I found WordPress too restrictive and limiting, despite have many useful functions like RSS feeds, content management. It was more for blogging rather serving as a CMS.

With credits for the web design going to Josh from Edgeworks, I coded the whole website from scratch. Now, the website is LIVE!

Getaway

Going for a getaway trip to Bangkok this coming Tuesday, but I'm the least expecting for this trip. Probably having too many stuff on my mind...

Have to relax, relax and relax...so as to prepare for the next incoming year...

Cold Without Warmth

It's true that you'll be expecting some coldness when an investor decides to buy a pie of your company. Especially if this business is relating to social entrepreneurship, if the cold hard results-oriented thinking is adopted, then there'll be no longer any warmth to be felt...

Fun With Them

It has been a week, and I still miss the fun in getting involved with the Ngee Ann students in their Innovation and Enterprise (I&E) in Action project. I never had so much fun during my Ngee Ann Polytechnic days...and the new age youngsters are so vibrant and fun...

They showed me creativity, perseverance, teamwork...and their team spirit were awesome, so much alive in their team...They tried hard to sell off every single inventory off: carrying baskets of muffins and pastries off, and returning with empty baskets...they were very godlike at direct selling...

To praise them for their contributed efforts, I wrote a long complimentary email to their tutor. This is what I can do for them...a very BIG Thank You to all of them!
