A Different Mid-Autumn Experience This Year

Overwhelming response for our Peranakan Mid Autumn Networking event tonite! To be honest, leechie only planned for more than 30 ppl...but more than 60 ppl actually came! My deepest apologies that we had to reject some late applicants cos we already hit MAX MAX MAX capacity! And even the waiting list was building up manz...gosh...n my sincere apologies for the v.packed environment juz now...space was rather limited due to the size of the restaurant and the huge crowd...but it's so nice to meet all of you! Thanks everyone for coming to spend this year's Mid Autumn nite with us! leechie is still in the midst of planning for the next networking event which should be coming up pretty soon...stay tuned =)
.
My sincere apologies for being late tonite...cos rushed over from Cineleisure where the talk by the world's youngest CEO was held...abit on this talk...he was only 14 when he first started his company...wow manz...leechie was busy doing homework n homework when i was tt age!he became CEO at the age of only 17!!!really cool manz!leechie was struggling with the seemingly-endless pile of tutorials n tutorials when i was tt age...-.-" btw ladies...he's 22 now n is still single n avail ;)
.
Glad to be there to hear him speak live and to learn from his sharing =) education is impt...but is not everythg ya...he said he has always wanted to be his own boss n the reason why he started his own company was bcos he wanna show the entire world tt you don't have to be a Havard grad to be successful in life!!!leechie totally agrees with him on this point...my own leechie uncle (ya, the same uncle who unfortunately fell into a drain n hurt himself not too long ago) doesn't even hav 'O' levels n he runs a few biz today...leechie used to help him draft his speech whenever he needs to make one...o.O" then he touched on abt the importance of strategies...what he said tt really touched a leechie ---> he said somthg abt being an entrepreneur is abt being able to offer employment to other ppl n the satisfaction which he gets from impacting others' lives!!!
.
By the time leechie reached home, my leechie mum had already lit n put out the lanterns...well, it's somthg tt we usually do every year...playing with lanterns...we dont go around walking with lanterns...but we would light up the lanterns in our home...to soak in the Mid Autumn atmosphere...leechie was really busy the last couple of weeks...had a really crazy schedule...didn't even have time to go shopping for mooncakes...but the box of bakerinz baked-skin mooncakes given to my dad was really nice =)
.
Once again, leechie would like to express my heart-felt gratitude towards everyone of you who played a part in making my Mid Autumn experience v.different this year! =)

Btw, leechie felt really flattered when a participant sms me juz nw to ask abt the makeup tt i'm using...wondering if the ladies here would be keen if leechie were to conduct a special event for the ladies with special focus on makeup and aesthetics?leechie has a couple of frenz in the beauty and aesthetics industry =)
leechie fav lantern -> the shape of moon...but leechie mum said tt they don't make this design of lantern anymore...so it has been a couple of years since leechie last played with this design...leechie saw this design at Bugis a couple of weeks ago...but was in a rush...so still didn't manage to get it...but there's always next year ya...

Kitty with Daniel ---> when will leechie get to celebrate Mid Autumn with my very own Daniel? o.O"
