The Office that We Knew is Dead. Maybe for longer than You Think

Think of all the good things that your office brings you: a sense of community, instant hands-on, going lunches together, exchange gossip or information about work or anything, plus sharing of tidbits and goodies. Now they are all gone.

We know that sooner or later the lockdown will be lifted. But until the new daily COVID-19 cases are zero consecutively for at least a week, we cannot go back to the old days. All offices must practise the following:

1. Social distance, that means you cannot get close to your colleagues or customers for whatever reason, there must be at least a 1-metre gap in between
2. Barriers in between workplaces so that no 2 persons can get close accidentally
3. All meetings beyond one person are to be disallowed. That means you cannot do product launches, seminars, talks or training that make people sit together. All meetings must be virtual
4. Al after-work entertainment eg go to bars, karaoke will become difficult or impossible. Reason: everyone works at different timings
5. Salespeople that are used to face-to-face selling cannot do that easily anymore. What does this mean? No sales?

That's why we move to Zoom webinars. Every Tuesday and Friday, we have two sessions: one in the afternoon in English and another in the evening in Mandarin. All our trainees, trainers, customers, members, friends and associates enter Zoom and we conduct our business as usual.

Before Zoom days, our seminars are limited to Singapore at our office at Fu Lu Shou Complex. Our Teachers have to fly to Taiwan, China, Malaysia etc to conduct once in a month or two-months live seminars there. Now? Our Zoom meetings have people as far as New Zealand, USA, Australia, Taiwan and China. Our audience actually doubles and in many times triples.

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years. Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself? At least I have better discipline". It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Have You Found Your Sun Yi and Teresa Teng?

I n the long, unfolding history of the Chinese-language music scene, "The Moon Represents My Heart" 月亮代表我的心 stands as an unsurpassable milestone. Yet, the journey of this globally renowned masterpiece, a song that would eventually captivate the world, was fraught with setbacks: it was once dismissed as "trash" by its own creator and tossed into a wastebasket, later suppressed by official policy as a "banned song ," and initially failed to gain any traction when performed by two different singers. The dramatic turnaround in this song’s fate is not merely a musical legend; it offers a profound life lesson: the greatest stroke of luck in life is not about how perfect you are, but about encountering the "right people", those who truly understand you, support you, and help you realize your potential, at exactly the right moment. I. The First "Right Person": A "Talent Scout" Who Recognizes Your Worth In the early 1970s, composer T...
