What My Life is Like Now.

I saw Freida signing up for Blogspot few weeks back and she made Blogspot cool all over again. Don't you think? :)

I've been busy flying here and there ever since I started work in July. I finished my work-cum-probation with my father in September, when he gladly let go of his treasure to me for expansions and (fingers crossed) more brilliant sales increase. I didn't want to start work, to be honest, but after many serious discussions with my parents, I turned down the offer from Imperial to do my MBA course and work's not bad! In fact, I prefer working to studying!

After 5 months of working, I can say I'm proud of how far I've brought the company over.

1. We're now in New York! I was contemplating whether I should open up a branch in New York or LA for 2 months but I finally settled for NY; one of my favourite cities. It's been a really great journey to work with an amazing team who never look at the downside of many issues. It's a completely different experience to deal with the people in States because they're more open and they believe in great deals & opportunities. They have faith in young talents and risky businesses in order to get a greater profit margins. I feel like my whole knowledge is being put to great use! 

2. I suggested that we expand our business to the tourism arena to the BOD one month after I started working. It's just an on-the-paper meeting because in the end, it's a family business and I turn to my dad & uncles for consultations and final decisions - which is great. We now offer boat houses for sale & long-term rentals in our HQ in Amsterdam. Besides, we've even gotten a canal and transformed it into a hotel-like base. It applies the same principle as the chalets-on-water. The only thing that differs is, we offer perfectly-equipped stationary boats! 

3. I'm now in the process of bringing over our company to Langkawi because a) we've parked a few of personal yachts & jet skis there b) there's great market and c) we all love Langkawi, don't we? Since my family doesn't quite like the idea of bringing it over to Malaysia, I created a sub-company offering beach activities instead. Though, it's not going to be a reality until the first quarter of next year. I can't wait to rock Cenang & Tengah beaches!

I haven't received e-mails from my readers for quite some time but yesterday, I received one asking where do I work at in general. New York it is, at least until January. Though, I still have to go back & forth to Amsterdam when there are important things to be signed or clarified. 


Busy schedules, yes. But I'm actually in love with my job! I thought I'd make a great doctor but hey, I think I make an amazing businessman as well. ;)
