The Return of...

I know this site has been quite for almost 2 years... obviously since joining Amway and am still doing the business until now. Most people probably would have given up within a year. I am with a group called Healthilite Beautilite (HB).
In the past, when someone introduced me to Amway, I told myself that this wont be the network marketing I would join. Anyhow anyway, I joined and never regretted.

I discovered a lot of things, learnt a lot of new information and still a lot to gain from HB. The reason why I am blogging is I hope I could share what I've learnt from HB.. blogging is one of them. I am not sure where I should start but I will try think of something.

What have I been doing since joining HB? I met a lot of people. Although I lost a few contacts because of what I am doing for my own future, but I meet a lot of new people. honest and caring people. I meet people from all walks of life. An owner restaurant in Chinatown, a pediatric doctor, a PHD student, an accountant and many more. Isn't it great? If you are only confined to your work life, the people you know is your colleagues and most of the time I believe is talking about work whether back stabbing or complaining so and so... most importantly I met my girlfriend and we share the goal of becoming successful in Amway business with HB. Now my sisters are joining me in HB. You see, Amway is not just about money or selling. Amway allows every member in the family to do the business together. You can find your true friendship. A genuine friend will not avoid you when you tell them you are doing Amway... lol..

So I think its worth doing the business as long as there are more to gain than to lose. I have helped many people to get healthy and beauty. Create awareness about the impact of not taking care of ourselves properly. That makes me really happy. Sometimes, I get rejection but I know rejection hurts a second but regret lasts a lifetime.

Another thing I have recently been up to is I have gotten my Indefinite to Leave visa. I have been waiting for this for 5 years! That means I can stay in UK for as long as I want.
Throughout five years, I am grateful for how it turns up today. Although first few years was hard from a miserable broke up to retrenchment but without all those happening, things could be different. I am glad it happened, so I met my now girlfriend, HB and own a property. Nobody can go back to start a new beginning again but we can make a wise decision today and make a better ending.

Big Rock First

How do you make use of your time in a day? Everyone has 24 hours but why some people are able to accomplish more things than the other. I am also in the situation where I always wish to have additional 2 hours in a day. After attending a time management course, time to learn how to put the big rock first.

Bray Lake Swim

Participated in an open water swimming yesterday and i enjoyed it so much. This was my first open water swim in the lake. Lucky I was wearing a wetsuit, you wouldn't imagine how cold the water was albeit the summer weather.

I don't remember my personal best swimming 1.5km at the pool in the past, yesterday was 33 mins 10 sec which I thought was pretty good considering i was swimming in the lake where the water was quite bumpy when there was around 50 swimmers did not have its own lane to swim. I think I could improve next time once i get used to swimming in a wetsuit.

Amway Business Owner

I learnt about Amway UK a while ago and signed up myself as a Business Owner. I have been using Amway products since young while I was still in Malaysia. I didnt see it as a business opportunity until someone introduced me to Amway UK. I thought I would give it a try since it costs nothing to sign up.

Everyone wants to run their own business but starting up conventional business tends to be difficult. Even though you managed to do it, you will be spending each night thinking on how to keep the business survive. Your income is determined by how much effort you put in but in Amway, its a growing sustainable income and you have a team to support you.

I am looking for a business partner to work with me on starting international network. It doesn't matter where you are, we can work together. Amway has given each of us a personal webpage to recruit people.

Here's mine: http://www.amway.co.uk/user/raymondtio

If you want to get a slice of multiple bonuses from Amway, keep in touch with me and we will discuss. 

6 days to London 10k run

first time since the Penang Bridge Run back in the uni times, I will be taking part in a marathon. It will only be a 10k run but running pass through landmarks in London is going to be a great experience. Besides its a good preparation for my triathlon in the running event.

DEC2BIN for up to 24 bits

=DEC2BIN(MOD(A1/256^2,256),8)&DEC2BIN(MOD(A1/256,256),8)&DEC2BIN(MOD(A1,256),8)

very useful since the excel could support up to 9 bits only.

Counting down days to go home

I will be going home in the next 5 days. Going to fly with Etihad airlines this time which is the first time for me. I guess the cabin is going to smell briyani :D

Dont know why, I am craving for local food these days. I wonder if that always happens to us who are about to go home.
