• A Night of Reflection

  Monday, Mar 19, 2012 3:16AM / Standard Entry

  The clock seems to be ticking very slowly in this peaceful night, and soon in less than 3 hours time, I’ll have to drag myself out of bed for a long day of work.

   

  Unfortunately, this is the kind of gruesome lifestyle that I am trying to cope for the past 11 months. Very often, sleeping and resting time were never sufficient, climbing out of bed is extremely torturous, and that excludes the long 45 minutes drive with traffic jams from Pasir Ris to Choa Chu Kang. After totaling all factors, the experience is just horrendous. But thankfully, I met great and awesome people at work, and it’s actually a good place to be (Not as bad as I thought).

   

  Back in 2010-2011, those were the good old days when I can happily wake up at 12pm, and take my own sweet time to prepare, before starting the packed day with works, meetings, appointments, events, etc. Honestly, it is tiring and taxing both physically and mentally, but it’s definitely fulfilling. I am looking forward to that lifestyle, and hopefully it will come in 13 months time! Those good old days were times when I can easily travel overseas as when I like! I still remember this spontaneous business trip to India at a short notice; I guess I can’t do it now.

   

  Never mind, it’s okay; I shall stay positive and get over the remaining 13 months!

   

  Back to work. Supernova Media is progressing well, and I am spearheading a couple of new ventures under the wings of the company, as subsidiaries. And 2 of the new ventures are now in the Agreement stage, and we’ll be signing it real soon. And what really excites me is, we are entering JV with multi-million dollar companies, and although we may be small as compared to them, but we are able to value-add in a big way.

   

  Honestly, I was very tempted to shift a new office, into one with bigger space for expansion. But after much thought, and realization of the amount of time that is required for shifting of office… I came to enlightenment, that the time should be utilize on developing and pushing of new ventures, and not wasting resources on shifting office when we should be re-investing monies on new ventures!

   

  I am really excited about the new ventures!

• A year older, a year wiser

  A year older, a year wiser

  Age has caught up, and I’m a year older.

  Thinking positively, I’m now a year wiser, which is good ;)

  The start of 2012 wasn’t smooth for me. I had 2 car accidents in 2 weeks, and the second was a serial car accident. Again, thinking positively, I’m glad to be 1 good piece. You know, when there’s up, there’s down, so now I’m down, it’s time to go up!

   

  I’ll stay cool ;)

• New Year Resolution

  New Year Resolution

   

  Time flies really fast this year!

  And pretty soon it’s time to put a full stop to mark the end of 2011.

   

  Considering myself being trapped “somewhere”, I would say this year is fairly fruitful, with a few notable milestones achieved! Maybe I’m just deeply loved by the “higher beings”.

   

  Looking back since day 1 of 2011, my look-like boring life simply revolves around work, work and more work.  But trust me, the look-like boring life is actually quite adventurous and it was a year of acquisition. Acquisition of knowledge, skills and network! And I believe there’s more to come in 2012, I’m really looking forward to it!

   

  Frankly, and knowing myself, I got a tendency to place work as top priority ahead of most things, and unfortunately, some friends were neglected because of it.  Sometimes I feel a bit bad, so if you happen to receive my call out of the blue, don’t worry, I’m not in MLM business, I don’t have any products to market, it’s just a courteous call to catch up ;)

   

  For 2011:

  Milestones achieved:

  1.     Venturing Overseas

  -       A co-production with Sweden, and more to come in 2012.

  2.     Produced my 1^st Mandarin Feature Film, Red Numbers

  -       Now it’s preparing for its release in 2012.

  3.     Entrepreneurship

  -       Won the Shell LiveWIRE Merit Award.

   

  Resolution for 2012:

  1.     A Healthy Lifestyle (Brought over from 2011)

  -       Lack of regular exercise and unhealthy eating habits have killed my fitness! Missed those days when I could easily get Gold for IPPT.

  2.     Blood Donation (Brought over from 2011)

  -       Wanted to donate blood, but I’m a bit afraid of the needle.

  3.     Direct my 1^st Feature Film (Brought over from 2011)

  -       As much as I would want to, but this year and next year won’t be possible. Mainly because I’m trapped in “somewhere”, and I would need to spend more time on business development rather than productions.

  4.     Venturing Overseas

  -       Bigger and more profiting ventures!

  5.     Expansion Plan

  -       Expand the business!

  6.     Entrepreneurship

  -       Participate and win more entrepreneurship awards!

   

  Wishes for 2012:

  1.     Good health for family and friends.

  2.     Good health for myself.

  3.     A fatter pocket;)

   

  Alright, that’s all for 2012!

  I really yearn for a fruitful year ahead! (Which I foresee it to be!)

  So I’ll gain more experiences which knowledge can’t give, and eventually have a fatter pocket by the end of 2012!

   

  Best Regards

  Alvin!

• Mission Impossible

  Sunday, Dec 18, 2011 2:59AM / Standard Entry

  How awesome would it be if we can gorge on all delicacies available on earth, eat as much as we want, but without expanding horizontally? Sounds like mission impossible, but indeed… it’s impossible.

  Recently, I’m facing huge temptations everywhere! I am having constant craving all the time, especially in the middle of the night, and all sorts of scrumptious delicacies start surfacing. Right now I’m thinking of Vietnamese cold noodles and drip-coffee from Vietlang at Art House! Owning a restaurant is really the best deal for me, I guess, haha! And maybe I should also find a wife that we both enjoy eating as much as we love each other, so one day we shall tour the world together to satisfy our taste buds!

• 心血来潮

  Tuesday, Nov 29, 2011 12:28AM / Standard Entry

  心血来潮

  偶尔心血来潮，想用中文写部落。

  老实说，好像已经有一段日子没有真正用中文来写部落，感觉上是有点生疏。回忆起，那些埋头苦写中文剧本的日子虽已成为“过去式”，但回想起来，至今依然记忆犹新。创作过程中的酸甜苦辣，也算别有一番体会，还不错啦。过去编写的一些电视/电影作品包括：《妙手铁厨》《悔意》《青涩部落格》《不由自主》《动物小天地》《甘榜情》《红字》等等。辛苦是一定会，但我倒是挺享受整个创作和编剧过程的，因此也就乐此不疲了。

  其实，我对创作的热忱依然不减，但随时光渐渐消逝，我也慢慢认清自己的终极理想 ，企业家。自从设立Supernova Media之后，就根本没再写剧本，时间全耗在生意上了。若是巧遇好题材，打死我都要凑上一脚！哈哈。

  这是上台领Shell LiveWIRE Merit Award奖的照片：

  最后，有好几个项目紧跟在后，趁现在有空先偷懒，喘口气，为接下来的路养好身子！

  好了，大家保重，再见！
