Prologue: Genesis
The World Wide Web shrank the world.
And in this case, I would like to think that it brought the world to me.
Ideas of an online home business shrouded my everyday thoughts.
It has to be self-sustaining on one hand, but on the other, there has to be enough to sustain.
The supply-demand chain is the integral to all businesses. But it’s excruciating trying to decipher what necessities and essentials the men and women of earth would give an arm and a leg for.
Hordes of firms are battling for the market shares within their respective industries.
As the juggernauts are reaping the rewards, the little ones soldier on for their survival.
And hence, how would an upstart get a break in the industry?
“I guess I've learned, to question is to grow
That you still have faith, is all I need to know
I've learned to love, myself in spite of me
And I've learned to walk, the road that I believe”
-Taylor Hicks
I’ll embark on the path of entrepreneurship.
Flip to the money pages on the Straits Times.
It’ll read: “The Power of Sheer Will”
Go figure
The best there is...
Best there was...
And the best there ever will be...

"Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend somewhere along in the bitterness..." - The Fray
It’s puzzling how one can be so busy for 8 months of his work and now, it all fades into boredom. After partitions were erected, the office seemed to be in an innate state of serenity and calm.
Allow my humble introduction to the 3 sopranos in the office.
The head of finances/ human resource/ etc – “Sha”
The accounts executive – “Chelle”
The customer service executive – “Siew”
One really has to wonder where (or how) they got that kind of stamina to talk at that volume and at a very high rate.
Siew has this loud voice, which makes Mariah Carey sound like a Singapore Idol contestant.
Chelle on the other hand, has this coarse-sounding tone.
And one really has to wonder if Richard Marx, Bryan Adams are her long-lost siblings.
Sha. The “hembra del numero uno” (number one female).
Her heavily Malaysian-accented broken English is delivered at an astonishing volume and velocity. You can't mess with her.
"Why?", you might foolishly ask.

"Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend somewhere along in the bitterness..." - The Fray
As life seems to pass by one second at a time, everything eventually seems to progress in a deliberate and slow motion. Let’s have a crack at breaking down time and history.
You were thrown in *pre-school/ kindergarten/ child-care (*Delete where applicable)
The first days were filled with apprehension and curiosity. Through days, months and eventually years, you’ve learnt to adapt and accept. Bonds of friendship were forged.
Then, at the end of it all, that very same bond was forced to be broken.
That very cycle is repeated through the primary, secondary and tertiary years of education. We’re living in a society that compels us to build and break amalgamations.
Someone dear to me once told me:
“ You were born onto this world alone, you’ll die alone.”
