Awesomeness
[ 9:54 pm ] Hello there. Let’s get acquainted again. I’m the proud owner of this dilapidated blog. It’s been such a long time since I last written. Free time is a premium nowadays. Things are a little more relaxed now, though I doubt it will last that long. Might as well update my blog, huh? It’s really hard to get the engine started again … The past few weeks … or months for that matter, were really one roller-coaster ride to the other. Plenty of ups and downs and some triple loops thrown in. Work truly has been amazing. We’ve been shown so much favour that it could only be from Him and no one else. Now that the new Nokia N8 announcement had been made by Nokia, we can talk about it. We’ve been busy creating 5 different apps for them that will be preloaded unto the device when it’s released. It’s really awesome to have your creations loaded onto a state of the art phone for market release and potentially being used by hundreds and thousands of people. God is good, because I believe He made this happen, to cause us to be favourable. It’s been great fun creating these apps, and of course the project management part of it is something that we have to learn improved on. Another app that we had a hand in the development process was released globally last week. Globally. Now, that just means millions of people will be using something we designed (not created, since we were only contracted to design while another company handled the development), isn’t that awesome? We attended Nokia’s conference last year, and I thought to myself. Ahh … I wonder what it’ll be like to be up there presenting instead hahaha … but of course, this isn’t something that you’d think out loud, ok? But God knows the desires of your heart. Less than a year later, I got what I wished for. Early this month we were invited to speak at their conference. Jitterbugs! Yeah, it’s something I wished for … but never expected it to be real ok? I’m not even a person that’ll speak much in front of a crowd … but I thought to myself, this is one opportunity that we should not miss … even at the cost of making a spectacle out of one self in public. We were invited to speak as a Nokia success story, sort of to encourage budding developers that they too can partner with Nokia :) So, when you have less things to say, you do it with beautiful PowerPoint slides :P I think my slides looked better than what I had to say. Malaysians in general, especially the developer crowd aren’t very ... umm … responsive? It’s not like church for sure, when you’re up there alone, you’re alone man. At least some of the Nokia guys thought we did well, that’s encouraging. Oh! I got a speaker appreciation gift hahaha … a leather wallet, keychain and pen. Smells nice. I thought to myself, hmmm … wow, God really have been blessing us. Maybe He’s honouring our 10% company tithe? I really believe God will build our ‘house’ as we sow into His house. We’ve been faithfully giving each time we make withdrawals, and that’s on top of our own personal tithes. You cannot imagine how happy it feels when you’re able to tithe. It’s like, “Wow, God, I’ve worked so hard and this is my offering!” Just this afternoon, the both of us drove to LimKokWing Uni to meet up with 2 Head of Departments (as introduced by Nokia) to work out an opportunity have some of their students intern with us. At the rate we’re going, there is a need to multiply ourselves … and interns are a great way to do that :) We did worked something out, and once again I just felt God’s favour upon this. We’ve been asked if we could coach/train their students every fortnightly starting next semester. To me, that’s a win-win situation. We get inside involvement with students (to identify hidden talents and offer them internship opportunities). We’ve been invited to attend an MoU signing next Tuesday as well as some of the students will be presenting mock-ups of the applications they plan to build. That’s a great way to gauge the quality of their work. When we first started this company, never would I have imagined all of this. There’s so much more that I’m hoping for in all of this. Well that’s some updates on work. What about life in general? It’s alright. My mom is doing fine, except from the allergic reaction to the chemo drugs. One more shot to go. We’re kind of used to seeing her without a head of hair :) She’s pretty positive, so that alleviates any worries that our family has to face through. I believe God is in this, so there’s really no need to worry about things. I’m finding it a challenge to juggle between work and relationship. Don’t get me wrong, Yee See and I have an awesome relationship, and as much her understanding the significance of my work for the sake of our future, she gets it and fully supports what I do. She’s been doing really great at work and I’m really proud of her. Who’d thought that a person of her quiet demure would make a great medical sales rep? She hit her sales target this month and next month will be moving to a much much better MNC. It’s really not easy to maintain a relationship; it’s a lot of work. There are a lot of rough patches that we’re ironing out, then again, which couple don’t go through these things? At the end of the day, we just learn to appreciate each other better and to ‘celebrate’ our differences :P I’m just so thankful for someone great like her. So, that’s my ‘report’ for the day, thanks for reading haha. 0 comments Archives nothing |
