I must say, there are still some that still requested for the song "Stand" and isn't aware (maybe they didn't search the entire blog or website or Facebook hard enough) on, HOW TO GET the song.
Ok, I'm gonna give the links to the Wonderful song again. Folks, you can hear it on heavy air play by Lite FM etc but you can buy and download it. Read the post here to get to know how:Where to get the Song "Stand"?
To credit another great fan, I've to say thank you to Caevis L** Seok E**. I'm proud to hear that there are listeners out there that appreciate it.
Well, speaking of people who managed to find strangers from no where with nothing... I've to also credit Air Travel. Just to share a bit about the topic, I'd share an extraction of my column for tomorrow's paper which I wrote while I was still on the plane just now.
And I Quote:
"Air travel has made a difference in our modern life nowadays. With modern technology, airlines have enhanced air security and improved the streamlined risk of any forms. From airport check-ins and parkings to the very fine details of even the inflight food. The duty free shopping made careful packing and the cabin crew ensuring stringent quality control.
I've flown a lot in my life. The privilege of being a son of one who is employed to the airline companies has already gotten me started on the flying as early as my first month on the planet.
Later, after the age of 21 has slowed down slightly but not even the suffering economy stopped me from visiting parts of the world. I've gone to lots of places but some locations have given me more memories that is so treasurable than what we face daily in our lives. I've had the privilege to go near and far. I've flown on a rotter plane, fokkers, boeings, airbus industries and much to my delight, I can thank my stars that I even flew on private/corporate jets. Today, I've had the chance to see so many places. But to name a few favorites, it's gotta be Hong Kong, Melbourne, Singapore, Cannes, Paris, Zurich, London, Milan and much more. Actually, even the closest of our eyes can lay on, can be nice too. I won't forget my travels on the road and even with the team even to places like Bandung/Jakarta.
These marvelous marvels have made some of my days easy. From meetings around the region is now possible. I even had the luxury of trying many resorts and relax because of the flights all around the world are getting more and more frequent.
For example, a quick flight to pangkor or Langkawi for a nice sunset and later head down to singapore for a quick night's game at sentosa's casino. The next morning's quick getaway can be easily tabbed with flying back for the brunch meetings and pushed forth after the late lunch discussions and head off maybe to Penang or some where else for a sharp contract signing.
I remembered juggling with the times when we had to fly privately to hong kong for the quick corrective response needed to resolve the mainland china's crisis and later heads off to singapore for the world report on the situation. The case was later relayed and needed to be handed over to the governing authorities in Dubai for immediate despatch and the orders were to be sent down to India for a rough take down. The new job brief was later sent to Thailand to initiate practice worldwide after the tests in India were confirmed. It was great to end of the task back in Kl for a good rest after a hectic 1 week on the skies. Thank my lucky stars again that I don'thave to run to holland or Germany or somewhere so far I lost count of my life."
"That's air travel now. I am enjoying this modern thing since I can kill time on the plane as we go with life. Moving towards my home for Chinese New Year. In this, I bid every reader Gong Xi Fa Cai."
While I was writing this. 2 nice ladies were chatting away next to me. Getting acquainted was the usual. From the moment our meals were served, anything under the sun became a topic. I was glad they enjoyed their trip but nonetheless, alas, the plane must land. I was inserted into the conversation late. A poor tired girl just on my right was struggling to have her rest but the flight was too bumpy for her to enjoy a good snooze. I probably also woke her up when I had to ask if she needed her meal served.
Again, Technology played a huge role to how friendships were made and borne. The forgery of a closer bond came when the product "Apple" took center stage. Well, I had a small spot light when my embarrassing set of Apple(s) came as a topic. I think the common thing we all had was an iPhone. Amy Chua had a bigger size Macbook Pro and she doesn't seems to enjoy lugging it around whereas I had a 13" Macbook Pro that just served me fine. With the addition of the iPad, it worked it's purpose for me. Let's put the Samsung Galaxy Tab aside and out of the conversation for this one. Poor 爱婷 (Ai Chua) a.k.a. Ai Tieng, the student, doesn't have neither the iPad or Macbook. So, she now craves for one.
As I mentioned before, we had less than 20mins to spare as we only went to the hot topic during "approach" (in aviation, that means, usually, the 20mins prior to landing, tells us to put away our toys and buckle up our seat belts, put away our tray tables and so forth). So, the ladies got my card just in time for them to drop me emails/calls later to further collaborate on our businesses that we discussed. At the same time, I had a simple short interview which I normally gets.
Here's the creme de la creme... shocking enough, 爱婷 (Ai Chua) a.k.a. Ai Tieng, manages to find my Facebook out of nothing but my name. Ok, lately, people have been able to find me via FB and its no surprise what Juwita said was true. Short fame for awhile due to the hit song "Stand".
Anyway, 爱婷 (Ai Chua) a.k.a. Ai Tieng, showed me that exceptionally, people do produce amazing, wait... it's Simply Amazing results from the unexpected ways. Maybe that's how Destiny works. Via weird and surprising methods. But I do thank Fate for bringing interesting people into my life. So, does that mean Social Networking plays a part of Fate? Go figure, we've both had a short chat after she reached home. (Mind you, she lives approximately another 100km away from me. Gotta be a long tiring journey for her.) What also impresses me is that she reached home, took out her iPhone and that mini gadget managed to find ME! Oh well, quote of the day: Thanks to Technology, People are Connected... will be rephrased: "Technology, Connecting People."
