Just when i thought things were going to go well for me, i discovered a bad news! As i’ve mentioned, the screen of my laptop has been acting up kinda funny recently and the lines has been appearing more frequently these few days. Those lines have been there since Dec 2006 and since i joined the Jumpstart Workshop. Tofu you remember seeing them dun ya? Sob then as the days went by more lines started to show and there’s now 2 white patches making their stay permanent. OMG! im starting to feel afraid that there might be some major problem with my lappy.

So i called up Toshiba yesterday to check on the possible problem and the charges involved if i really need to send for repair. i guess it’s unevitable that i will have to send it. the only thing now is how much do i need to pay? the cost is really a concern and when the technical helpdesk guy told me he suspect it is a LCD problem i was shocked! cos i somehow guessed how much it might cost me! then the next thing he said was the ultimate! it will cost $1,500 to $1,600 to replace the whole LCD screen! OMG!!! and what’s more i still gotta pay a stupid service charge which is $100 for their service!!! Hell!!!

Wow few days later i have finally sorted out most of the craziest stuff in this IT world! Thanks for all the encouragement given! I certainly need the motivation to keep going in this online pursuance. Great news at least to me is that my alexa ranking has improved alot in just 3 weeks from the pathetic 2,500,000 to being 596,444 as of today! Woohoo! and i have visitors from different parts of the world! Australia, Great Britain, USA, China, European Union, Germany, Malaysia, New Zealand, Japan, some unknown countries and of course Singapore! Although i must admit that i do not have impressive content here like the others whom talk about great IM tips but i try my best to update my learnings.

Like my title says….. to conquer the difficulties instead of being conquered by them. it’s really wicked! nevertheless im still happy. perhaps this site has good search engine optimization hahah. i also need to get the moolah rolling in so to speak and that is by far still a tough job for me. sometimes i just feel like im lost but sometimes it seems like i’ve found myself again. it’s really strange of how life puts you through each and every challenges. so now it will be back to more hardwork and i believe i will see results soon enough!

I always feel that there are lesser female marketers out there than male marketers. I wonder why is that men seems to have an upper hand in sales and marketing? No wonder they have the general term “salesman” more popularised instead of saleswoman or saleslady hahah. As known in the Internet Marketing field, most of the gurus are men. One of my most admirable female gurus would be Rosalind Gardner and she is one of those female super affiliates whom truly generate mountains of sales!

As for internet marketers in Singapore, most of the prodigies are men- Adam Wong, Ryan Chua, Stuart Tan, Ming Chern aka Tofu Monkey, Benjamin Wee, Ewen Chia and more. Where are the ladies??? Perhaps we ladies like to stay behind the scene and let men do the presentation lolz really but i cannot help but wonder are we girls dumber than men?

So if you are one of those females who happen to read this post why not just leave me your comments? I aspire to be one of the top female marketers in the future and sometimes a little fame won’t hurt to boost my credibility and reputation dun you think so? :-p Guys i’ll show you girl power! Lolz or maybe i can also choose to be an underground marketer instead.

It has been raining non-stop since last night and im freezing cold in the office. Got in this morning cold and wet not without mentioning standing all the way in the train having to  squeeze and dodge other peoples’ umbrellas. I would prefer to be at home nice and warm in bed instead. Today the office seems a bit quiet perhaps due to the weather, everyone seems to be working like the weather, grey and gloomy. What a nice start to a new month (in a sarcastic way of cos), i was telling myself to get charged up and today onwards i am going to work hard on my online business thingy and what did i get? A rainy morning, cold and wet, gloomy colleagues blah blah blah.

Of cos im not a pessimistic person and all these only gives me more challenge to embark on my course anyway. The scenario just reminded me of the times when you’ve lost your focus and that steam which you need to boost your confidence and motivates you. Anyway it just came across my mind and i can’t help but wonder what has happened to my “classmates” from the Jumpstart Workshop last Dec 2006? How many of them really embarked on this journey?  Maybe it is not important anymore as only my own progress matters but i feel that it’s a pity to give up without even trying. So all the more i have to persevere and i shall share some pictures with you guys from the workshop here. Looking at the group picture serves as a reminder to me that i MUST be one of those who has make it or at least have achieved something.

Stuart is really a generous guy with a big heart and he is an excellent motivator.
