Having life

Having a supportive better half, all I need is to get my act together, move on with my liVe.

Earning an honest living was a challenge. I’m pretty sure I’m good at selling, next job ‘came’ to me… selling moving solutions. Even though I had the slightest idea what I’m selling, I pledged to succeed whatever it takes.

‘Choose a job you love, you won’t have to work a day in your life’.

I started falling f0r my job as I met with different characters. Leaning all sorts of cultures and habits fascinates me.

I always wanted to own a business. The idea came clear after 2 years employment.

Royal Relocations were born 14th March 2002. Coincidently it’s a day after my mom’s birthday. Consider this my gift to her.


We were like babies sucking out milk bottles, 3 innocent souls preaching entrepreneurship.

We scraped through first couple of years, with scars of failure and fruits of patience. Tree of success is well groomed.

It's cool working with Nic and Vicky. Although fists were used sometimes to calm matters down. This is what brothers do, we have succeeded working 'family style'.

My career hasn't been better. This led to a hardball.

liVe...














2000, my liVe’s second turning point. At that time, clubbing was my main hobby. After 2 failed relationships, I figured it’s probably time to find someone decent.

In a disco?!?! I must be nuts. Eventually I bumped into a babe I knew from ages.

We never really talked much before, but as I laid my eyes on her on Halloween day 1999; my breath was taken away for the first time.


After ratting out my previous employment, I was broke like a broker. Bad habit, gambling.

It came down to overdue: 6 months road tax, 6 months driver’s license, 6 months car installment, 6 engine breakdowns wages a month, 4 months phone bills, 3 months cigarette and lunch money, RM 2,000 Ah Long debt, to name a few.

If someone believes in bottoms, I believe I’ve definitely been there.

Mayz matter not how I was humiliated being broke and all. We just hung out for a good company.

When we really talked, I only shared all my darker sides to her; she listened and accepted for who I am.

As the going gets tough… my mom noticed a tow truck dude (sent from the bank) awaiting my presence at our crib (luckily my little Charade was hidden far away).

Of course being a caring mom, she paid my 4-months installment.

All along, Mayz knew about my worries. ‘The sun will shine no matter how bad the storms were’, she explained.



I woke up one day and found my wallet with 200 bucks in it. I asked Mayz if she did the deed.

Dream On, she said.

LIve a happy LiVe…

In all prayers, we hope for the better, not the otherwise…

Recently, have you been feeling depressed in your own ways..? We all do, there’s no denying, maybe ignorant?

Passion in life have changed? Maybe. Focus in life differs? Probably.

During our period back from graduation times until recent times, any changes?

Often human focus all on career those days, it’s natural. Born to be wild (excel) feeling?

These are the times to remember… getting stronger and stronger emotionally and on facts of life. Sometimes banging on walls to realize the pain? Phew…

Aging… ever wonder? Ok, before I traumatize anyone, let’s share some part of my life shall we?

I didn’t go all out on my education, diploma in IT. I figured it’s probably time to make some bucks… Been through some hardship to realize there’s no free lunch. 1998, my liVe’s first turning point.

Got a job in Singapore selling vacuum cleaners, tough stuff… 15 kgs, 15 blocks a day… 150 slammed doors… 1st couple of months surviving on RM 550. That IS tough.





3rd month got kicked out from the flat I rented with overdue payments. Carried 2 suitcases to the office and everyone were wondering…

A close office colleague invited me to bump in to his apartment with minimal rental charge. What an Angel. (At least I got away with 2 months free rental prior)

There on my skills in work got better… only 15 slammed doors. Good improvement. Best moment to remember, I won the Annual National Field Day Award (whole of Singapore’s LUX salesmen). Not officially though, not telling you why this time… At least I still hold that award.



Eventually I got bored being not able to achieve big bucks. KL, here I roam!

1st Job, selling computer solutions. In 3 months I was top salesman (team of 6). There on I got adventurous in earning fast cash… next 3 months, it was all mine… but on the sales board… near zero.

Naturally without any good explanations, I got fired.

2nd Job, System Administrator (data entry clerk a.k.a. one leg kicking). Got bored in 3 months. Office location 5 minutes from my house but I was always late for work, you can imagine…

2000, my liVe’s second turning point.
