Lychees From Leechie: When Leechie Meets Lao Niu ;p

Can u spot leechie in the crowd? my leechie eyes n hands were glued to my mobile phone cos i was attending to sms queries on my networking event held later in the evening =)

Niu Er lao shi came to sg last yr but tix for his talks were all sold out before i could get any...so this would be the v.first time tt i'm showing my leechie face at lao niu's talk here o.O gotta thx Audrey for helping me book the tix n reserving seats...i was late for his talk today manz...so paiseh manz...cos attended Yue's opening party yest n drank abit too muchie (they were serving buffet n freeflow Martell drinks)...was nursing a hangover...as well as tending to calls n smses since 7+am this morn cos i was running networking event later in the evening o.O

Leechie has always been v.amused by why Niu Er lao shi refers to himself as Lao Niu...lol...learnt tt he's already 44 yrs old...but he has such good skin...n looks sooooooooo young...hmmmm, he can easily pass off as a 30yr old! o.O he started by sharing the various sources of vitamin C...white fungus n chicken soup...was quite surprised by the white fungus mask thingy o.O" he's v.warm n hugged many of the participants who went on stage...a participant was so excited with Lao Niu doing demo on her face tt her shoe fell off n she looked really nervous...lol ;p he did demo for massaging techniques on a few participants on stage...i rem reading somewhere tt he wakes up at abt 6am every morn n spends quite alot of time on his skincare routine...i already wake up at 6am every morn...was telling Audrey tt leechie gotta wake up at 5am if i were to do all the "patting" n massaging thingy tt he did @.@" but i admit tt leechie no hav massaging kungfu skills (btw ladies, i observed tt many tai tais hav v.good massaging skills ;p) Lao Niu did mention abt how Kose's massage gel can help clogged pores...now this got a leechie curious...will most probably go buy a tube to try out with my leechie lousy massaging skills o.O"

Lao Niu was really v.humorous...n he speaks better english than some Taiwanese celebrities...btw, was telling my leechie mum tt leechie's going to see Lao Niu in action...n my cynical leechie mum commented tt Lao Niu doesnt look as handsome as Kevin lao shi o.O" but the entire auditorium was packed with alot ladies n a few guys today...Lao Niu's really v.popular here! o.O saw tt Emily's v.happy while standing next to Niu Er lao shi...think she's one of Lao Niu's v.faithful fans who bot tix to both his talks n she even bot the vip tix today =) she was saying tt she was so happy tt she couldn't zzz after taking individual pics with lao niu ;p

Was lucky enough to be standing next to Lao Niu for the photoshoot...see his hand on my leechie shoulder? ;p Noticed tt he has v.good skin when i went to shake his hands...but when i got close to him, i could see his crow's feet n laugh lines o.O hmmmm, after meeting both Lao Niu n Kevin lao shi in person...leechie still prefers Kevin lao shi!!! ♥

It really warms my heart to receive the following word of thanks from ah boy:
"Thanks Tono Leechie for the book you gave me years back. It really taught me a lot. Provided me with so much insights and exposed me to things I never knew of. It really is an awesome awesome book! :D"

No offence to all consultants...
learnt on sun tt consultants "con" n "insult" ppl
then yest veron who once was a consultant said tt consultants bend high n low n provide extra services n charge by the day/hour juz like pro....e (u can pretty much guess which occupation she was referring to ya?) ;p
Bro's job description of consultant:
"i showcase what i can offer, customer choose who to engage, i deliver the required service while ensuring high satisfaction, and get payment after i had delivered my service
guess what profession is this?"
lol ;p

Btw, customer service here in sg can b rather appalling at times...i had a horrible experience at the Chanel counter at Bugis the other day...n here is a fren's real life experience at a local gym:
"Gym Customer Service: Hi A, you want to renew your gym membership??
A: Let me think about it.
GCS: Why must think???
A: Because I think your front desk guys are very unfriendly.
GCS: Is it?! Eh, you know they also think you are unfriendly!
A: -_-""

Pardon my bitchiness here...posted as requested:
"Attitude of the chanel SA at the bugis outlet on 13th Feb evening simply s.u.c.k.s!!!
i passed her the print out from cozycot which states clearly in black n white abt the entitlement of samples...apparently her english is soooooooooooooooo bad tt she couldn't understand what was written n claimed tt only those with the mailed chanel postcards r entitled to samples! she had to call other more senior SA for help...n she even had the cheek to ask me if i had already gotten the samples from other outlets! but not everyone is as cheapo as she thinks ya! she is sooooooooooooo snobbish n gave u a "r u sure u can afford chanel" kind of look! i was thinking of asking for her name so tt i could write in to Chanel to tell them abt how lousy her attitude is! but i think i have better things to do than to waste my time over such a SA who thinks damn highly of herself! her behavior simply left a sour taste in the mouth n would definitely let ppl think twice or thrice before shopping at chanel...not sure if tt is what the folks at chanel have in mind by having such a poorly trained SA to represent them! they can definitely do better by having SAs who have better command of english n who understand what customer service is abt!"

My response to above quote:
what i learnt 1 or 2 yrs back is i dont need to live by others' approval of me =)
n there r still ppl who juz wanna provoke me...i juz think tt they muz b v.bored n ignore them...but they feel more pissed when i ignore them o.O"

Damn good quotes...esp for those ppl bitching abt a leechie:
"别人爱怎么想那是他们的事，你就是你。"
"It's not about who is real to your face, it's about who stays real behind your back."
Some ppl r sooooooooooo damn political tt it's such a waste of their talents not to b in politics instead!!! -.-"
Btw, having a caustic tongue doesnt make one a lemon...otherwise it would b like saying tt every guy who has a moustache is ur dad ya...lol ;p
I did NOT sign any release form n yet the events company took candid video shots of me n will give com organizers a copy of it...excuse me, but isn't this an invasion of privacy? everyone is laughing at all these candid video shots of me n i have become the laughing stock! n since there r more than 200 ppl there...y the focus on me instead of the other 200+ppl there? what a brilliant well-planned scheme to make me a laughing stock! well done! i've become a sacrificial lamb for their entertainment! i wonder how would they feel n react if the same thing were to happen to them someday? r there even any human n legal rights to speak of in this biased n prejudiced society? frenz told me to seek legal advice =.="

The hard disk of my silly Dell lappie crashed! -.-" crapz

Motivating Quotes from Steve Jobs:

"You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma,whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life."

"Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking."

"Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart."

"Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."

Stay hungry...stay foolish ;p
