Yesterday was another fruitful day.
After my meeting in the morning, as usual, every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon, I accompany my daughter, Alvernia, to go to school. I enrolled her in Growing Up Gifted (GUG) programme since last week. And I've made a commitment that despite my busy schedule, I'll do my best to always be there with her for that 2-hour lesson. So far, my daugther and I have really enjoyed our 'school' time together. 
In the late afternoon, I went to Tangs, Orchard, to have the clothes fitting for the Finals of MyPaper Executive Look 2010 (Have you voted for me today? http://executivelook.mypaper.sg/vote/ ) I really love the clothes that they picked for me this time. Can't wait to wear it and show it to you guys during the Finals.
In the evening, I was speaking for “Women Powertalk Event”
I was very touched to hear that many of them personally re-arranged their work schedules and appointments just to come down to see me in person and learned from my experiences. Thank you all Ladies!
One important thing that I shared last night to all of the women in the room was this: "If you want to change your life, you must first change your attitude towards life". At least that's what I did 10 years ago. At that time, I was at the lowest point in my life. I wasn't very happy with myself. And because I can’t change my family, I can’t change my education, my friends, who they are and who I am, I then changed my attitude towards life. How we see life is really up to each one of us. That's why despite of my difficulties, I chose to live with high-altitude attitudes filled with optimism, enthusiasm, and excitement. And no matter how bad my life is, I chose to stay positive and see life on the brighter side. And I did it! By just first changing my attitude towards life, I eventually changed my life !
After my session, I was very happy to get a little surprise. Elim Chew (Founder of 77th Street) and Veronica Tan (Owner of Success Resources) dropped by. It was really a lovely surprise. Both of them are powerful women whom I respect and proud to call as friends.
Elim spontaneously shared her experiences too on how we can be a change-maker. Here are 3 important points that I can summarize:
1. Commitment: You must be committed to give 100% in whatever thing that you do
2. Habit: Whether is a good habit or bad habit, it is still a habit. Eliminate the bad ones and start to accumulate the good ones.
3. Attitude: With the right attitude and mindset, you can achieve anything!
What Elim shared has again re-affirmed the things that I just shared previously.
In conclusion, for a start, you don't actually really need a huge capital, many contacts, excellent skills, etc, to begin with. Just simply by having the right attitude, you are already on the right path.
Thank you Mamiko for organizing such a wonderful event !
After the talk, I ended my day by having a nice supper with my husband, and went for midnight prayer session at Novena Church.
It was really a beautiful and wonderful day for me.
