Have you got yours yet?
LIFE IS AMAZING!
YOU ARE NOT WHAT YOU SAY YOU’LL DO.
JUST DO.
TAKE CHANCES, MAKE MISTAKES.
LEARN.
TAKE CHANCES AGAIN.
MAKE MISTAKES…AGAIN.
LEARN DIFFERENTLY.
THAT’S HOW YOU GROW.
TAKING CHANCES, THEN DO IS BETTER THAN
GOING THROUGH LIFE WONDERING WHAT IF?
WHAT IF YOU HAD TAKEN THE CHANCE.

An awe-amazing start of Father’s Day – with family. I remember the first day I became a father – What a privilege and honour it was then…and is still now…even more…








Here’s wishing my father, my brothers, brothers-in-law, all fathers in the family, and all fathers (including my classmates and schoolmates from school)
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
A RECOGNITION THAT IS WORTH IT’S RECOGNITION.
The weekend is upon us. Again. Didn’t we have it last week? Or was it yesterday. One can lose track of time when we are enjoying it. Looking at it, that is “time” in a new perspective or dimension; opens a whole new realm of possibilities for us. Maybe, it is just me as I get older (aren’t we all? Who isn’t?); wade through the distractions of things and the fluff of what social media, advertising and A.I. (known by mostly everyone, though not everyone knows it stands for Artificial Intelligence. See…it’s working. People are beginning to live in fantasy and forget what the real; world is) are smoke-screening our lives with.

Jeannie, also known as The Batik Influencer, and I; with my pen, cutting a large letter “W” (not “Z” as another character does); are at Amcorp Mall; where people from around the world converge to look for keepsakes and collectibles they can acquire. They also know it is the place where they can relax and chill without having to jostle with too crowded a place.
We would love for all of you to come visit us at our booth F1.09, where there is soft sometimes loud…er music, flowing out from the Marshall Emberton III speaker. One would be pleasantly surprised at the amazing dynamic range of sound this speaker delivers. The Batik Influencer has come up with a new range of her JEANNIE’S OWN Batik Cape Creations, extremely limited in the numbers available, so come quickly and get yours. We enjoy catching up with our old friends, old new friends; and new friends we are about to get acquainted with. There is so much to catch up about.

For instance, Ryan. He was walking past with his young daughter. I commented that his beard was shaped like the Bugatti logo. And we hit it off from there. He acquired a copy of my book. He has been giving me feedback and suggestions on my marketing of this book and possibilities for my next book. I have been busy taking down notes. There have been others too, who have given constructive suggestions – there are many…so many that I decided to get a Plaud to make sure I don’t miss out on any. I can’t put all the suggestions into one book. However, they will be given due consideration.
For now, let’s have fun. The Batik Influencer and I, the Hatted Writer; look forward to meeting you all at our booth over this weekend. Have fun.

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN THOSE MOMENTS,
FLEETING MOMENTS;
WHEN SOMEONE OR SOMETHING MADE YOU SMILE
HAVE YOU EVER WISHED YOU COULD HAVE CAPTURED THAT MOMENT?
THAT SPLITTING MOMENT
WHEN THE WORLD STOPPED AND YOU WERE MESMERISED BY JOY?
A GRATEFUL HEART.
A GRATEFUL HEART ATTRACTS
PEACE, JOY, CLARITY AND CONNECTION.
THEN, YOU REALISE THAT FLEETING MOMENT WILL NOT COME BACK…PROBABLY.
HOWEVER, THAT GOODNESS THAT IT HOLDS…
SHARE IT WITH OTHERS. WHO KNOWS?
SMILES WILL REPLACE SADNESS.

ALWAYS REMEMBER THOSE WHO COME WITH A LAMP WHEN YOU WERE IN DARKNESS.
EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD BARELY ENOUGH OIL TO KEEP THEIR LAMP LIT FOR THEMSELVES, THEY WERE WILLING TO SHARE.
THEY MAY NOT HAVE HAD ANSWERS,
BUT THEY WERE WILLING TO STAY WITH YOU UNTIL
YOU FOUND LIGHT FOR YOURSELF.
