My 49th Birthday!

I turned 49 on 1 March 2022. Yes I made it and I am excited about this new chapter of my adventurous and exciting life. I would not have done it any otherwise and appreciate everything that came with it be it sweet, bitter, sour, salty and spicy! Life is meant to be challenging and the last few years have been nothing short of the continuous difficulties and challenges. I am grateful for it made me learn to be better and stronger. And if there is one thing I know is that to live the life you deserve. Stay healthy & happy. We live for us and not for anyone else. Do you, be you and don't let anyone ever tell you how to live your life. Always be around those that appreciate and love you for who you are. Not what you have to always be doing to keep others happy. By the way just in case you are wondering, my job is NOT to give you what you want. My job is to get us to where we need to get to as an organization. If this is not what you want, please leave me. I will be happy for you to find what you are supposed to be doing. 😉

I turned 26 on 4 March 2022.
Yes. I'm still young compared to Mr. Ernie and my chapter of life has just begun.

I am officially with Mr. Ernie about 8 years and still counting. Throughout the years my life was guided and led by you in a very awesome way.

I am grateful to have you in my life and leading us always to the direction that have never changed since I know you.We had many strategically changes but our direction has not change.

I am glad that you are back in action physically to make it happen the way you want. Yes you always said without the team we will never come to this stage, but everyone knows it without you we will never be where we are today.

No one here can stop you and you maybe wrong to many people. To me, as long as you are leading us to the organisation vision and that's what I want too. I'm gonna go with it.

Let's fight together and achieve what we want!

Well said. We start a war with ourselves when we start to live up to people's expectations, therefore it is better to live up to ours. Last but not least, Happy Birthday Mr. Ernie, more to come.

Happy Belated Birthday Sifu!

Makin bertambah umur, bukan bererti umur semakin meningkat. Umur sekadar nombor. Tetapi sebenarnya, ia menjadikan kita lebih matang dan lebih menghargai siapa yang berada di sekeliling kita.

Happy Birthday Mr.Ernie!

It’s true. This is our life. We have the choice to live life on our own terms. Do the things that we love to do and make sure to get it.

Happy Birthday Mr Ernie! We hope everything that you've planned, will lead us to whatever that we want to achieve. With a good result, everything can be done 😊 Its just like subtopic in one of my subject . Gap Analysis. There are TWO analysis. 1. Where we are & 2. Where we want to be in future.

May god blessed us all 🙏🏻

Yes, life is meant to be joyful with what individual wants. Never live the life for others, because we will get nothing at the end of the day. Spend the time & effort with someone adding value to us, and bring us further, whether in life or in workplace.

Time is limited, be happy and spend every seconds worth and quality. The returns of it are wonderful, and most importantly, it's happy & fulfilling, even though the challenges are surrounding us.

It moves mountains. Thanks for the continuous enlightenment. We will make it happen!

YES, WE ARE JUST ONE DAY AWAY!

Indeed, being ourself and doing what we love is the key to happiness.



We are the 70's babies. It was a hard time before to get any opportunity unlike today. We came through hard ways to be here today. Everything was difficult!!



I was basically thrown into the sea at the age of 17 and managed through many obstacles and sunk few times before I reached to the shore. No rope was given to me. Today I'm proud to be who I am and I won't stop swimming further.

You have been a good mentor and good support to me for past 5 years. I'm truly blessed and grateful for everything you have done for me. Thank you.

Many many Happy Returns of the day , #happybirthday 🤗

Happy birthday Sifu Ernie Chen !

A year older, a year wiser, and also another year for me to learn the absolute best from you to grow as a better person in life and in business.

Thank you so much for all the guidance throughout the past 11 months, and you will always be the best boss that I've ever worked with.

Stay healthy and keep smiling like you always do, sifu! ����❤️

Happy Birthday Mr.Ernie !

That's right! Life is ours, not dictated by others. Be clear about what you want to achieve and what your goals are, no matter what others think of you. Believe in yourself and go for it!

Great statement. "Do you, be you and don't let anyone ever tell you how to live you life" We are all responsible for our own life and happiness. What do make you happy!

Happy belated birthday Mr. Ernie!

Dear Mr. Ernie,

Happy Blessed Birthday! I believe the upcoming 3 years will be greater and great if we can put all the things in the right place!
Looking forward for it and working to make it happen!

Happy Belated Birthday Mr. Ernie. As you said Life is meant to be challenging and it is supposed to be. Without this element in our life we will make ourselves stay in the same spot. It makes us grow and clarify what is good or bad.

Time is precious we only have to spend it with the right & loved ones.
