REFUSE BEING AVERAGE

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS “MAINTAIN” IN LIFE.
YOU ARE EITHER IMPROVING OR ON A DECLINE.

I HAVE ALWAYS HAD SOMETHING INSIDE ME THAT REFUSES TO SETTLE FOR AVERAGE.
I DON’T KNOW WHAT IT IS EXACTLY, BUT I AM GRATEFUL
I HAVE IT.
I AM ENJOYING IT.

WILL ANYTHING CHANGE?

This is what I want to become…. That is what she wants to do… He aspires to….
They do nothing. Nothing different, nothing more than where they are at now.
Will anything change?

IF WE REMAIN WHAT WE ARE, WE CANNOT BECOME WHAT WE WANT.

SWASHPENTOTTING WRITER AND HIS BETTER HALF – THE CAPE CRUSADER

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.

Thavam is seizing the moment. With her copy of SPARKS OF JOY – SEIZE THE MOMENT. Starting young, she has dynamic plans for her future.

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.

And she now has her very own JEANNIE’S OWN Batik Cape Creation, the first of many more to come.

Alveena, a name to watch out for. Put a note in your note book to watch out for her. A flyer, commonly termed that for a person whose favourite is one of the tougher strokes of the four strokes in competitive swimming. Here she is with a copy of my book.

The Queen Jeannie of Borneo, who under disguise is the Batik Influencer; perpetuates peace wherever she goes.
