I am testing on my Windows Live Weblog...

I have just discovered that I can actually update my blogger page from Windows Live Space! This is amazing and I am testing on it now. I think this features will be great in giving all of us blogger more flexibility in our posting.

We could have it in various types of font, type setting, insert tables, pictures, insert tag, map, video and etc etc. Whole list of them and I am yet to explore all.

Just check this out! It is so EXCITING!!! :-)

Wow! That is lovely!

Something wonderful to share...

My mother only received her primary six education some ages ago. She totally could not understand English and we her 3 lovely daughters use to have this funny idea...why not teach our mother English. Of course something conversational would be just fine.

Nothing formal happen in the house but English is one of the medium that her daughters communicate at home. Guess what! Without us realizing it my mother actually pick up a little of Queen's language.

Out of sudden today she was telling me this in English...stay cool..."You take the paper outside." That is lovely! I could not imagine how could this happen. That was a great moment that put all of us at home into big laughter, a real big one that make us rolling!

This proved that not only the young toddler has active listening, elderly group too! And my mother could actually understand some of my tele-conversation with my friends. It is a big wow! I don't know how she picked that but what I know it is through observation and listening.

This has created some light moments in my family! There will be more to come as my mother and her 3 daughters are just simply like good friends...you know how good friends talk right... :-)

I told her to continue learning English and be daring in speaking...who knows I might accidentally have a caucasian fiance then communication will not be an issue. :-p We both burst into laughter!!!

What I have realized!

How many leaders actually realized the importance of human capital development? Very often you see successful company with its glorious track record and performances. But ever wonder what has really make this company to attain such achievement?

Is it because the products are really good? Is it because the company has good customer service? Is it because the customers has no other options but to choose for that company? ...... Customers are definitely has more than one option especially in this competitive business world. But what make those company succeeded. A good product or good service does not happen by itself. You need people to handle that and make it happen!

Often when a company is acquired, does the acquirer only take the products and the customer databases and leave the rest behind? That is not a smart way of investing! You need people to realize the vision and mission of the company. You need the people to keep the business running.

There is a lot to take note in Human Capital Development and it does not happen just overnight. There are a lot of passion that you got to invest and a lot of careful thought behind the execution. Hence since the starting point, we should know what kind of culture that we are building and what are those values that we preaches for the company.

Human Capital Development is all about unvealing the potential within the staff.

Life Transformation

This was taken in one of the toastmasters contest. Toastmaster has changed my entire life and it has been a great transformation for me. Before and after, so much difference....

Life is full of challenges since the day we came to this world. Since the day we start learning all that we should have, and it is a mysterious journey that we don't know what is gonna be next. My young days were well spent in a small and secluded village. A village that is rich in memories, so much that I need some memory upgrade sometimes.

I have the biggest playground compared to kids nowadays, I have the whole village, every single things in the village were my playmates. I weaved through the coconut trees, fruit trees, trees that I still do not know of their names, crops and more. I can still smell the freshness of the air with all the green leafy creatures around. A morning stroll was the best thing to do before I start my day many years back. Looking at the morning mist, my mind and soul totally sunk in it. I could feel them!

Madam cow was trying her best to chew as much of grass as she can. She was waving at me with her tail. The rooster was leading his army team patronising the backyard. The tresspassed sometimes to my neighbours compound but realising that was not their teritory, they came back.

The hen was patiently waiting for her newborn baby. The dogs was swaying to the left and right, waving their tail and said what a wonderful morning.

When I was really young, i used to run topless in the neighbourhood. Well, who cares if a small kid is without a top. Nobody even want to bother that, and it is also a sign of innocence and purity.
