THE INVALUABLE FROM DATUK ALVIN

Thanks everyone for your kind support that turns October to an awesome month for me. My article was featured in the Money Compass for the first time. I am deeply grateful to Amy Seok who was so kind to do such a great favour for me. 

My third course in a year, Looking beyond Financial Statements – An Investor’s perspective Part II was also recently approved by SIDC and just in time to be kicked off with FPAM on 22^nd Oct, 2015.See what an awesome month of October brings to me; blessings after blessings

Attach above please find the photo that show my second book I have received this month from Datuk Alvin, after I visited his office, UHY. I received my first book on GST from the SME conference. Thanks to the sponsor who generously gave out the books and shared their knowledge to the community.

 Wow! Passion Beyond Numbers, this eco bag reflects his concern about the green and the environment. The well thought phrase is their tagline. There is no coincidence at all and it struck my attention immediately when I received his name card much earlier.

He is a guy who truly has the passion beyond numbers. It happened when my friend, brought us to meet up with the Datuk. It is a small world. He is another number man.

Last but not least, I write to record my heartfelt thanks to them for giving me such a great book which discuss numerous contemporary issues, which I highly recommend to read. The author is no other than Mr Lee Soon Hock.

This book is not only informative, but the readers will have better understanding of fast changing and fluid world of government, business and community service. He again shows his high spirit to serve and champion community cause. A man who walks the talk... I have been so fortunate to have access to this book which I may write a review after I have read the book, if time permits.

Thank you for reading, for commenting, for reflecting, and most definitely for taking your personal effort in grooming others through daily actions and practices in your life. If you enjoyed this post, and found it helpful, please share it with your networks on social media.

Stay tune for more exciting stories ahead. I can sense much more blessings coming along and I shall report to you guys as usual, from time to time.

ANOTHER GIFT FOR THIS WEEK

                    AFTER THE REPLACEMENT OF NEW FULL BODY PORCELAIN TILES

Another new gift from the last two full days of my weekend efforts, as announced earlier on the new face lift of my wet kitchen.

See the attach photo above, for what I have done to my existing kitchen. I managed to solve another leakage into the kitchen cabinet, which was leaked from the stove-top. To resolve this issue, my contractor needs to hack the old tiles and replace with new full body black porcelain tiles. Full body is the hardest of its kind and not so easy to crack if reasonable force applied on its surface. These tiles are more contemporary in nature and more affordable than marble. Its hardness is able to sustain a not too powerful meat chopping at its top.

This new face lift really transform my existing old and dull kitchen into a more lively and elegant one. See the above photo yourself. It is very much easier to remove any stain due to its smooth surface and of course more practical for the hectic city life. Thanks to its creator for inventing such a well thought of product.

Please feel free to comment if any area needs further improvement. What do you think of their workmanship? What is your say on the cement in between the tiles? Is the gap too narrow? What you think about the quality of the tiles?

What I can say is that it is truly a new and rewarding experience for me to source the materials which mainly fit their main function. For instance, the tiles must be easy to be maintained. Select smooth surface for easy removal of its oily stains.

Here, I welcome any other consideration which I may have missed out. Black is elegant and the edge was grinded so as to prevent anyone being hurt by the sharp edge.

Black also can match well with its light blue wooden cabinet doors. Black is also classic colour and can’t go wrong with any colour.

What is the most important to take note of its code numbers 244CHCGD6088, size 60 x 60 cm. I can easily find back just in case I need to replace one or two broken pieces. Fortunately, I can make use of this blog to record down all details for further references. I guess by doing so, I am not only able to share my knowledge, but also make it a best practice for me to keep record of my experience.   

Hope this new refreshing look will bring much greater energy to face the new challenges.
