This is a place that I plan to keep as a journal, keeping record of my every step towards my dream - making Winson a success.
Here I go, just registered in Tradekey.com tonight as a free member. As I'm starting on tight budget, better try out free stuff before paying.
I'm heading for selling Electronic components as that is the area I know better about. Good Luck !
Today is children's day.
Planned to take my princess out but couldn't make it, because she is still recovering from her bad cold, didn't want to overtire her.
We only went for a short walk in a nearby park before lunch. She was satisfied though, so that was good.
After dinner I turned on TV, meant to find some kids shows for her to watch. She is very into music and dancing, usually there would be something on for kids on a day like this. We did find two channels showing a stage performance for kids, what shocked me was that the shows were filled with sorrow and clips of earthquake senes, with kids singing sad songs. It was a terrible feeling watching the shows rather than happy! The were not trying to make our kids (including those poor kids survived from the quake) happy! I quickly turned it off and read my girl stories instead. Flooded by memorial events, horrifying senes and stories on TV and news paper, my three year old was frightened terribly. She worries that she might experience earthquake and lose her Mum and Dad, or she might die. I don't understand why do little kids have to be involved in this. It's not that I don't care about lives affected by the disaster, I just don't see any good to involve young kids and enforce tragic images into little brains of toddlers.
Now I don't even know how to help my little one to get over her nightmare. Everytime she hears 'Earthquake' she would say 'Mummy I'm scared!'.
The death poll from the Earthquake is reaching 70 thousand, with more in missing!
Can't tell how many hearts are broke, how many tears are shred, because there are countless. There is such sorrow widespread in the country that I had never experienced in my whole life. It makes you want to give out all you have to help.
But - be ware before you donate. I hate to say this, but there's been rumours on the Internet that millions dollars of donated money had gone missing - including those donated to red cross. Whether it is true or not, it make me feel cold. I only trust the 'One Foundation' now. At least Jet Li oversees the money spend himself - with two professional auditors!
Oops! I've used up all my points! I can't believe I've been away for that long!
What had I been up to? Well pretty much just catching up with my new job. Where I'm a supervisor for a team of 6 people. I want to do a good job and proof that I worth every penny I earn. So that I was working like crazy and had to put my own dreaming aside for a while.
I need a stable income before I go ahead to run my own business. I'm not comfortable borrowing money and after all, I have my little girl to feed.
I'm glad that things are going well at work. As everyone and everything are back on track, I am in more control now. So that hopefully I'll have more time and energy devote to my own business.
I don't like reading local news.
Can't believe and don't want to know that there are so many voilence and tragedies around. There certainly are good people and pleasant events too, why the news always highlights the dark side of the reality?
Today I read a news about a whole family, including a middle aged couple, a young mum and two kids (one at five and the other only three months old) were killed by a man, who owed the family US$250 worth of debt. A five-year-old boy in the family who escaped the kill witnessed the whole thing. His personality changed and became withdrawn to everything and refused to talk about the incident. How could a little heart cope with such tragedy? - It's just a little instance of the sad news widespread in TV/Internet/News Paper news. - I don't like to know about it when I can't help but feeling pain.
