25 years of my life on this Earth. It did not seem long, but already lots of things have gone by. Don’t worry, I shall not list every single one of them down, however most of the time my role is still a student, my main task is to absorb as much knowledge as possible, people have been telling me its for my own good, but I have yet to experience myself.

If I may ask, how are you leading your life? Is it as typical as I do? Nevertheless, I am grateful of what I have now, and the things that have happened around me, be it good or bad, they are already part of me and I shall bring them along with me into the future. Who knows, maybe one day I can share with the rest and continue to inspire more people…

An overview of the education system I have gone through and still on-going in Singapore:

1 – 6 years old is about attending Kindergarten, playing and enjoying childhood. 7 – 12 years old is about going through primary school. 13 – 16 years is about going through secondary school. 17 – 19 years old is about going through polytechnic school. 20 – 22 years is about going through National Service (Army). 23 – 25 years old is about going through University, if everything goes well, will be graduating next year when I’m 26.

I’m not sure how long I can live, and I believe the duration of a person’s life is not important at all, in fact the way how we use it is more interesting. End of the day, you must ask yourself what have you learn? Are you still as stubborn as before? What things can bring along with you when it’s time for you to leave this World? It’s time for some serious thinking…

It’s amazing when I look back now, DreamPlus Studio turning 6 next month! Until now, I am still grateful that I started DreamPlus Studio, and with the help and patient from so many people, I am able to pick things up bit by bit.  I have started out with zero knowledge on IT and web, but today I can at least do up a simple site for people. Although it may not sound alot here, but at least for me I can tell people that I uses my own effort, knowledge and hands to do it.

I have also learnt that its very important for us to complete every little task we have, and by doing so we are on our way to complete something big in the future. We should not ignore things that may seem small or unimportant to us, in fact I think its good if we can tackle those little things first, before we think or do big.

Coming back to DreamPlus Studio, it has first started out as my portfolio site, later on becoming a freelance design firm, and today my personal blog, anything that I like to blog about design, IT, business and life matters. Be it good or bad, for the past few years, you should be able to see most of them under this blog. They are all very important to me as part of the learning and growing process. All along, I have been treating the blog as my own archives, so that when I reference back, it can serve as a reminder for myself. You might not know, it can be interesting to read through some of the things you have wrote for the past few years too.

From zero knowledge on web, to starting up a new company doing web. From having someone to take care of my everyday living, to taking care of myself today. There are simply too many things for me to learn, as my sis has told me there are certainly more challenges ahead to tackle.

If you ask me how long I can take this, I’m not sure. But as long I can live until tomorrow, I have the resources and people to help me along. I shall continue to pick myself up and realize the unimaginable future…

Sometimes I know its easier to say than do, but I believe if we really got the will and determination, we can overcome all our obstacles. First of all, we need to have a clear mind, a clear mind will help us to analyze the situation better. If we need more time, we just have to give ourselves more time. If really no time to think through, than we should not act in anyway. I have learnt that we should not rush our way through, should always keep a clear mind, so that we will not make any wrong decision and regret later.

Despite many obstacles, in fact I try not to look at them as obstacles but as some ocassions for me to conquer, learn and move on with life. It’s really really tough for me though, I have even thought of ignoring all of them and run away, but I know that it’s totally irresponsible and timid to do so, so right now I am preparing to face all of them one by one, and I shall use my own mind and energy to defeat all of them. If you are facing the same problem as me, don’t be afraid of anything, get yourself up and ready for the battles!

I realized that sometimes we like to rush through things, and eventually affect the quality of work. And also making ourselves very tired and exhausted. You may say that its because of time, stress and etc. But when I come to think about time, is there really time? When I come to think about stress, what is stress? In actual fact, time is created by people in order to create a routine for everyone, so that its easier for us to keep track of the things we do, and stress is actually created by ourselves and not given by other people.

So, to elaborate further, since time and stress management are both created by people, therefore we can be trained to manage them as well, in order to make our lives more efficient and happier. The only secret to this is to do things one step at a time, there is no point rushing through them, if it will affect the quality and making ourselves very miserable. It’s just an ongoing process to learn, and I believe everyone should always remind themselves every time when possible, if they realized that they are just rushing their way through in life.

Time flies, and I’m really making use of every second to enrich myself. It’s gonna be another 6 more high-tide months for me, although its tough, but I always remind myself to endure through and work hard for it. At the end of the day, I do not want to have any regret at all.

Currently, the first priority is still working on the infrastructure for Uniqueground – a new startup that envision to change the current and future media scene. Till date, we already have our own in-house web development and design services, online press media and open-source frameworks. And we have plans to extend ourselves to having our own servers, social networks and etc.

Other than that I am also working on some commercial projects which serve as my own interest and for income purpose. And for my school Project, I am working on an experimental project that believe people in the future do not need to search for what they want online anymore.

Last but not least, will be my continual support for Uniqueground In-house projects, which include GeeksOnHigh! – A Tech Blog, and jottomatic! – A Python based framework

Lots of work and planning are still in progress, will update you again!

It’s getting a little tricky for me recently, especially when dealing with people and money. Over here, I just hope to concentrate on my work, and over there, people and money issues started to come in. I never knew that one day I will have to face all of them and also to take care of them. Naively, I thought that I can just concentrate on my work, but I was totally wrong.

I realized that both the people and money issues are slowly eating into my life, if not they are actually forcing themselves into my life. I’m not sure am I counted lucky to be able to see all the ugly sides of matters, but I am trying hard to stay optimistic and learn whatever I can from all these incidents, and hope that in the future I can handle them properly. Nevertheless, I am still grateful to receive all kinds of encouragements and advices from both my family and friends. If not for their support, I might not pass on.

You know, sometimes I just feel like running away from them, and start afresh. But, I know this way will not solve the problems. Other than dealing with the matters patiently, I can’t think of any better solutions now. But for one thing I am pretty sure, I simply needed some space to breathe this Summer, I’m not sure if I can survive, just hope that everything will turn out well…
