Last week while I was in Sydney, I learned that Sin Chew, the largest chinese newspaper in Malaysia came up with an article which mentioned Nuffnang.
Then just yesterday morning, I received a flood of SMSs from my friends and associates talking about the latest article about Nuffnang that came out in The Starbiz.
My mum was one of the first to pick up the paper too.
Afraid my head will grow to the size of a durian she reminded me,
“Son… remember one thing.. you haven’t quite made it yet… you have a long way more to go”.
I nodded immediately and said
“Yes mum.. I know…”.
My parents had always taught every one of us in the family the art of humility.
To my mother, a successful but humble person puts him/her a class above everyone else.
And if humility is the root of success… arrogance is the root to failure.
Oh I also got some messages from some ex-girlfriends of mine that I haven’t heard from in a long long time (and are as usual happier without me).
That was fun.
Thanks so much to Hung Yee of The Star who wrote the article.
I still remember her telling me that I was the youngest person ever to be interviewed for that column.
Hung Yee, thanks for believing that age is no barrier 😛
Credit also to Kim who handles our PR and for whom without, much of our media coverage would not have materialized.

To all of you who left me the nice messages on my blog or by e-mail, thank you so much!!!
But as my mother would tell you if you ask her, DON’T get carried away… we have a lot more to do and a lot of expectations to fulfill.
