Holidaying With Grace: Phuket 18 – 21 February 2012! :D (Part One)

I had a great time in Phuket! Besides posing with Ronald’s Thai cousin (who looks so much like him. Hurhur!), I got to check out Patong Beach, Phuket’s Premium Outlets(!!), the Weekend Market, the Safari Tour & more!

Some quick facts, in case you are curious:

1) Flight via Airasia: S$120/pax (Return)

2) Hotel: Aspery Hotel on Patong Beach Road S$229.09 in total for a Standard Double Room for 3 nights

3) Travel Insurance: QBE $32

4) Exchange rate: S$1 -> 24.30 Thai baht

I was holidaying in Phuket with my girlfriend, Grily (whom you’ll see pictures of in a bit) and it was our first visit to Phuket!

Expecting taxi fares to be pretty steep, we jumped on the opportunity to take a minibus from the airport to our hotel (150 baht per person; S$6 instead of the usual 600-700 baht for a taxi)

It was a regrettable decision because I got squashed in the front passenger seat with a Canadian guy. Just ‘cos I’m slimmer than the other angmohs, I don’t deserve a proper seat of my own *sob* PLUS I got the “best” view when our driver hit and ran over a dog who dashed across the road!

* Our Hotel *

I don’t know why but they like making little fans with the toilet paper, towels, etc! :D  

The hotel’s Red Peppers Restaurant was looking really sleepy when we arrived in the late afternoon. To make matters worse, we decided to indulge in Happy Hour cocktails (at half price/100baht) …

Fly me to Lala-land with “Aspery Lover” and “Patong Sunset”

With some delish Shrimp Cakes *150 baht*

The rest of the food we ordered wasn’t as good but the short 1 hour 40 minute flight seemed to have made us ravenous!

We later made our way to Patong Beach as the sun was setting…

 Rent a jet ski at 1500 baht for 30 minutes! That’s about S$62! Still cheaper than Para-sailing!

Our second day in Phuket was our designated Shopping Day! And shop we did at Jungceylon, Central Festival, Premium Outlets and the Weekend Market!

We were told by hotel staff that Jungceylon would be open at 10am. But it opens only at 11am so we were there too early and ate at Swensons first…

“Does it taste good?!”

“Hmmm… not bad!”

* Our ice creams melt while we camwhore! *

Jungceylon’s just a 2-storey mall with a circular layout. We didn’t buy very much here; just a quick stroll around.

We then decided to head to Central Festival in a tuk tuk. Here’s where we were brought on an unsolicited “private tour” to a gems manufacturer before we were dropped off unceremoniously across the road from Central Festival mall. *The tuk tuk driver also forgot to collect the 500baht fare (S$20)!

The tuk tuk driver thrust this Tourist Information sheet into my hands and asked if I could “help” him earn a stamp (on something that looked like a loyalty card) by letting him bring us to see some gems before heading to our destination. I found it difficult to reject a request for help. *sigh*

* hands shaking ‘cos the tuk tuk was moving off already *

We were brought to a place called “Gems Gallery” which proclaims itself to be the “World’s Biggest Jewelry Store”. Don’t know how true this claim is but I got to look around the factory and saw many craftsmen working on the jewelry, like this one:

 The section where you can view the jewelry was posh indeed – no photographs allowed. Needless to say, we didn’t buy anything and just hopped back into the same tuk tuk for our ride to Central Festival.

Strangely enough, the driver DID NOT let us alight at the mall. Instead he dropped us off across the road from the mall. We panicked ‘cos the vehicles were travelling at high speeds, like on an expressway here.

The driver walked us halfway across the road, told my friend to hurry up ‘cos she was lagging behind and just left us and ran back to his tuktuk.

We then realised he had just run off without collecting the 500baht fare! And he was so happy to speed off with just a hurried “Bye bye!”.

Oh well, thanks for the ride, pal!

Lunch at MK Restaurant was most enjoyable!. I found their mascot too cute to resist! It holds tissue, a pen, toothpicks and suggestion sheets!

Chose our own ingredients for the steamboat and also ordered their signature roast duck. :)

*Tip: Collect one of those Welcome Bags at Phuket Airport and you’ll likely find a 10% discount voucher for use at MK Restaurant, among other vouchers.

The Central mall’s pretty big, like our Vivocity.

And then we headed to where I was yearning to go the most!

Phuket Premium Outlet!!!

It’s not very different from the Premium Outlet I visited in Malaysia.

You know how they say the greater your anticipation, the greater the disappointment? Totally true for this place.

My friend got so bored she started talking to trees…

I only bought ONE item… a Scooby Doo bag for 369 baht/ S$15. :D And here’s my loot from the first 2 days of our Phuket holiday…

Thankfully no customs officer opened my bag for a check or else they’ll be wondering “Singapore doesn’t have jelly beans?!” :D

The Weekend Market resembles Chatuchak Market in Bangkok, except that I seemed to do more shopping when I was at Chatuchak. My friend, Grily, managed to purchase some pretty trinkets as souvenirs.

Don’t know what this lady’s selling but it looks so colorful and pretty!

Come back again soon for Part Two where my friend goes para-sailing while I laze on the beach, and both of us go for an unforgettable Safari Tour! :D

Raise Your Game 2012 with the world-class speakers from Asia Professional Speakers -Singapore (APSS)

I had the privilege of spending the entire day yesterday in the company of some of Asia’s top speakers at the event Raise Your Game 2012 – Essential Secrets for Achieving Greater Success at Work! Held at Holiday Inn Orchard, it was presented by the Asia Professional Speakers – Singapore, with 10% of all profits donated to Operation Smile. If you’ve missed the event, make a date with them next year! Meanwhile, I have the highlights for you right here so read on… One of the very first networking tips I got from the event with 8 speakers and 7 panelists was to ask the people I meet…

“What’s one tip you have for me?”

For instance, when meeting a Real Estate expert, I can ask him “What’s one real estate tip you have for me?” It’s really useful! Try it! :)

And here’s one takeaway I got from each of the speakers:

1) Christian Chua – How to Make a Fortune Sipping Coffee:

Acquire a special skill to increase your net worth. The more you learn, the more you earn!

2) Karen Leong – Influential Networking

Be a catalyst – bring people to your party.

I especially loved this: *Wallflowers: the people who are the lonely ones at networking events; often spotted with a mobile phone in hand and looking up “every 5 seconds or so” :D

3) Benjamin Cheng – The Corporate World: A Jungle or A Zoo?

Don’t be provocative – even if you particularly dislike someone. The people you meet on the way up could well be the same people you meet on the way down!

4) Eric Feng – Speak to Influence, Persuade and Win

Attended seminars but haven’t actually changed your life? Just find ONE thing that you can change today, repeat it for 21 days and it becomes a habit!

5) Bob Feldman – Timeless Management

The mindful leader slows things down at times -> shapeshift in the office by shutting the office door to give yourself space for thinking, reflecting and planning. Even 10 minutes for relaxation or a nap will be more effective than an additional 2 hours of sleep before the day begins.

6) Heather Hansen – Getting Ahead with Global English

Distinguish between long and short vowels, e.g. “sit” and “seat”.

7) Deborah Torres-Patel – Voice of a Leader

Tell your audience What’s In It For Them – what can they get, be, have, etc.

8) Thaddeus Lawrence- How to be a Runaway Success

Be gentle with yourself – take smaller, lighter steps, and stay away from negative chatter.

Thaddeus blew the audience away with his sharing about ultra-endurance racing in the hottest, coldest, windiest and driest deserts on earth, including the Sahara, Gobi, Atacama and Antarctica.  He ended his presentation with a standing ovation from the audience!

He did a run through Chilean salt flats (which are, apparently, not quite flat)

Certainly, with Thaddeus and all the other speakers, Raise Your Game 2012 was nothing short of a runaway success! Congratulations to all who planned for and executed today’s program with such finesse! Kudos to Shirley Taylor and her wonderful team!

I highly recommend that YOU get a copy of APSS’s book which was launched today, titled ’88 Essential Secrets for Achieving Greater Success at Work!’ It’s out in bookstores in Singapore, and will soon be in Malaysia, Thailand, the UK and US. The e-version will be released shortly.

Here’s my copy of the book – can’t wait to read it! The book was put together by 22 Professional Speakers and Trainers from APSS and edited by their President, Shirley Taylor. I want to extend a big THANK YOU to Andrew Chow, who invited me to this event. It was both a pleasure and an honor to be in the company of such distinguished speakers and trainers.

How To Blog And Enjoy Blogging -> Blogging With Grace :)

You want to be a blogger but don’t know how to get started?

You started a blog but feel stuck, bored, or uninspired?

Join me for personalized one-to-one coaching about blogging! Among other things, I’ll share about how I got started, mistakes I committed as a blogging newbie and tips and tricks I picked up along the way. Also, each session is tailored to your level of blogging experience and subject of choice.

Just last week, I conducted 3 such Coaching Sessions and was privileged to meet 3 people who are blogging about Property, Diving and Finance, respectively. :)

Here’s Arthur, a property agent with PropNex. He sells luxurious property worth millions of dollars each.

* Pardon the poor lighting in this photo taken with my iPhone XD *

Arthur said: “I thought my blog should be very corporate-like; such that I found it boring myself. Grace showed me how to make my blog content come alive with structured steps, insights and tips on better postings. I now know how to get traffic, advertisers and even sponsors. I would recommend Grace’s Coaching Sessions – she helped me identify what to focus on and what I really want to achieve with blogging. And she opened up new perspectives about the possibilities for my blog.”

Now, meet Xiu Li. She’s an accountant and has various interesting hobbies like judo and diving. She’s starting a new blog on diving and I gave her tips on how to avoid situations such as slacking off for weeks without new posts.

Xiu Li said: “I was given concrete get-started tips and shown examples of good postings. Though I’ve been blogging sporadically since 2005, I wasn’t familiar with various widgets. Grace gave clear step-by-step tips on the usage of widgets and their purposes. Due to work, I’m unable to blog frequently so Grace showed me how to generate and manage consistent postings. :)

Finally, there’s Sean who is an Author, Master Trainer, and Expert at trading options. I was shocked to find out that when he was in his 20s, he was training fund managers twice his age!

*Photo courtesy of Sean Seah*

Sean said: “Two really great things about the session with Grace is, firstly, she gave me a structured step-by-step approach on how to improve on my blog. Secondly, she provided me with valuable tips that can’t be found in books or on websites. It was a valuable and fun session working with Grace.”

Screenshot of the email Sean sent me a little later:

 

If YOU would like to:

1) Meet me for a one-to-one Coaching Session about Blogging, OR

2) Join me and 4 other participants for a Blogging Workshop,

Email me at gracewwg@gmail.com and insert subject title “Coaching Session” OR “Blogging Workshop”.

Whether you already own a blog or not, always remember to have FUN while blogging! :) Cheers! – Grace

Interview with Alfred Wong from Noel Gifts

Alfred Wong

Managing Director, Noel Gifts International Ltd

(All the following photos are courtesy of Hearted Moments Photography)

1) Why did you choose to start Noel Gifts and what do you love most about this business?

In 1973, I joined my family’s construction business and back then, it was an annual routine for most companies to send hampers to business associates on special occasions such as Chinese New Year.

But the feedback from sending hampers was that some hampers had rusty cans inside and some other products that were not so desirable. So, with this feedback, we decided to pack the hampers ourselves because we firmly believed that gifts bear good wishes and therefore they must be of high quality to carry the sincerity and goodwill of the sender.

The response was heartening and many of our recipients called to ask if we can assist them by packing the hampers so that they can present them to their business associates in turn. This hamper project became our small seasonal side-venture. But when my father’s construction business failed, we decided to go full time into the gifting business.

This business of ‘gifting’ is extremely satisfying when you know that you have helped people improve their relationships in one way or another, be it with business associates, friends, family, or loved ones. To see the smiles on the recipients’ or senders’ faces proves that you did a job well done.

2) How have gifting trends evolved over the years and what are some of the most memorable gifts that Noel has put together for customers?

As years go by, besides the ever popular flowers and chocolates, gifting trends have shifted from the basic gifting to concept gifting. Customers are more discerning and attracted to gifts that have a story and strong idea.

Hence, we make effort to innovate and keep up with trends. We have introduced 800 new product ideas each year and even introduced organic products and also some experiential gifts vouchers to cater to the younger customers.

There are many examples of memorable gifts, as giving gifts come from the heart and we often see extraordinary gifting moments. Physically, there were big and expensive gifts such as a more than 2 metres tall chinese new year hamper; a 999 stalks of rose bouquet that is as big as a small round tasle; and a $3000 congratulatory flower display.

Emotionally, there were simple bright sun flower bouquets that were presented to hospice patients to brighten their day; a special hamper packed with hand-picked items by a terminally-ill individual to thank her doctor.

3) Perhaps lesser known would be Noel’s property investments. How have these investments complemented Noel’s gift business and what are the prerequisites for any business which would like to also venture into property investments?

In line with our gifting business, these investments’ focus is with view of bringing people closer.

The prerequisites are basically, interest, sufficient capital, and industry knowledge.

4) Please share about the most important lessons you have learnt about branding, especially in establishing Noel as a trusted and reliable brand. 

I believe that having a strong brand is essential to secure a dominant brand share and achieve market leadership locally and enabling it to grow regionally. And to sustain a strong brand, it is important to have continuous product innovation and creative designs.

As such, Noel’s product development and design team travels extensively to source for items to refresh its selection of gifts, flowers and hampers. To better understand customers and identify gifting trends, the company undertakes market research and conducts training for its customer service teams. It also taps on resources beyond itself to introduce new management capabilities and strategies.

5) Which are the best gifts you have ever received?

1.      God

2.      My Family

3.      Gifts from Noel

Grace Says: I had the opportunity of learning from a Floral Stylist at Noel Gifts, and together, we put together a red rose hand bouquet they call ‘Burning Love’. :) (*Will be uploading the video soon; enjoy the pictures for now)

The Workstation:

I learnt a lot about roses along the way…

Was taught how to remove the unwanted petals and thorns and how to trim the stems, etc

And after almost 25 minutes or so… *tadah*

Very pretty bouquet, right?

Was tempted to run home with the bouquet in their award-winning tote bag :D

*No more awkwardness when carrying bouquets!*

I used to think bouquets are just pretty and little did I know about how much work went into the presentation! Did you know that this particular bouquet required FIVE sheets of that beautiful red and pink wrapping?! To the uninitiated, it looks like it took just two.

Plus, you can’t leave the half-wrapped bouquet lying on the table while you go look for the ribbon/decorative leaves/wrapping/etc (*A mistake I committed*). The roses always have to be propped up by their stems so the petals won’t touch the tabletop and start turning black or wilt.

Besides learning about how to wrap a hand bouquet, it was certainly a lot of fun meeting the happy people at Noel. :D

I hope the bouquet I co-made will make a special lady really happy this Valentine’s Day. :)

Noel’s Valentine’s Day 2012 flowers and gifts are available for order until Feb 14, 2012. For more information and/or to order, call 6299 1155 or visit lovechapter.com

With special thanks to all at Noel Gifts who made this possible :)

Have a Happy Valentine’s Day!

Love,

Grace

Interview with Ivan Teo from Arteastiq

Ivan Teo

Director, Arteastiq Tea Lounge & Art Jam 

(All photos courtesy of Hearted Moments Photography)

Ever thought you could start a successful business by accident? What about a business which pairs high tea with acrylic painting?! Arteastiq is one such business which came about as a blessing in disguise! :)

Ivan used to run a furniture store at this venue in Mandarin Gallery but it was a loss-making venture. However, customers liked the concept of enjoying their tea in this luxurious environment. Hence, with a revamp, the business took off again.

The special tea flavors were created by Ivan’s Tea Consultant friend and the tea is brewed individually for 3-5 minutes till the flavors get infused. Ivan revealed that not all kinds of oolong tea goes well with lychee, for example, hence the special attention paid to the brew. Also, Arteastiq does not use flavored teabags so don’t expect teabags to be sold here.

“Making tea is an art – not just throwing in a teabag.” – Ivan

Currently, Arteastiq serves 11 kinds of tea with a range of sides. I especially loved the lychee tea and almond biscuits which were surprisingly delicious, and I was told the Japanese mochi is not to be missed too!

When you’re done enjoying the tea, proceed for a 3-hour Art Jam session where everything is provided for you – aprons, paint, brushes, canvas, etc.

There’s reference material available if you need it too. And the friendly staff will make a color copy of any design you like so you can stick it next to your canvas and paint accordingly. ;)

You may even spot a couple of unfinished artwork which customers will be coming back to work on. You only have to pay $5/hr for each additional hour you require. Or else, it’s $48 for the 3 hours of painting on the regular 50 x 50cm canvas, or top up an additional $10 for the bigger one.

Ivan revealed that he was surprised at how willing Singaporeans were to participate in Art Jam. Art Jam started in the UK more than 10 years ago and essentially is not a school. People just got curious when they spotted other people painting.

In fact, local celebrities like Stefanie Sun, Zoe Tay and Michelle Chia have popped by Arteastiq with their friends and family. Check out their photos here.

I suppose even celebrities take to painting as a way to release stress and also bond with their friends and loved ones. :)

As for me, I haven’t painted since my Secondary School days, which seems like decades ago now. So here it is… the painter is pretty *ahem* but the painting, not so much…

My photographer friend, Jiahe, did a better job though he was taking photos most of the time. *sob* Talent: either you have it, or you don’t. :D

And have no worries about smudging the wet paint ‘cos the canvas will be packed in a special carrier for you:

And to reward yourself for the marvellous job at painting, just head out to the tea lounge/restaurant for a bite…

[above] I tried the Tender Mafia (Italian herbs with beef ribeye). I found it well-flavored and just a tad too salty.

*The main dishes are cooked using the Sous vide ultra-slow cooking method which seals in the meat’s juiciness and retains its tenderness. This means slow-cooking for TWO hours. I’m impressed.*

Jiahe tried the Saucy Housewife (Jumbo chicken leg in green apple cinnamon). I love the presentation! ;)

One item on their menu that caught me by surprise was this mushroom soup. Served in a petite mug, it’s full of yummy goodness:

*Must Try*

Unsurprisingly, Arteastiq is a hit with the ladies. Make a reservation before coming by, even on a weekday!

I’ll certainly be going back to Arteastiq again, it’s such a great place for tea and chilling out with friends. And perhaps, with enough practice, I can start painting decently well. :D

Celebrate Valentine’s Day at Arteastiq:

Morning session: 11am-2pm/Afternoon session: 2.30pm-5.30pm

$88 per couple (you get everything you need to paint plus 2 snacks & beverages)

Or

$214 per couple for a 5-course Dinner with red/white wine and 1.5hrs of Painting. RSVP by today! Check Arteastiq’s Facebook Page for more details. :)

Arteastiq is located at:

Mandarin Gallery #04-14/15

333A Orchard Road S(238867)

The GOLD Standard in Blogging

I’ve been given a number of ‘titles’: Blogger, Full-time Blogger, Star Blogger, Stomp Blogger, Celebrity Blogger, etc. I’ve FINALLY become thick-skinned enough to call myself a ‘Professional Blogger’. :D

It all started when I saw someone‘s Facebook photo – he printed some metal business cards for himself and stated that he’s a ‘Professional Blogger’ (I got a shock when I found out his blog’s barely one month old).

I joked with Welson (CEO of Expressprint and blogger at welsonang.com) that I can consider getting the title of ‘Very Professional Blogger’ in future! :D

Chio or not?! :D Welson actually printed some namecards for me! They are printed on aluminium and have such a ‘wow’ factor. I was given some gold, silver and bronze-like ones.

I’ll be giving out these cards according to how much I like a person. You get the gold one if you mean the world to me and I truly cherish our friendship/relationship. :D Want to know how much you mean to me? Ask me for a card. LOL.

I think what really blew me away was this card case…

“It has my photo on it!!!”

It’s just too amazing.

Welson redefined for me what it means to be a “Professional Blogger” by his example. It doesn’t mean you have to be top in ranking, have a million people visit your blog daily, etc. Often, bloggers at that level have become complacent, blog infrequently and start sounding a teeny weeny bit arrogant (I’m sure you know what I mean).

Now I think being “Professional” is about exceeding people’s expectations and being totally in love with what you do (in this case, it’s blogging).

Think about what namecard printing means to you.

Printing namecards for people as a gift isn’t about stuffing poor-quality cards in lousy plastic boxes (as people have come to expect). It is about blowing them away with the thought and care you put into designing everything – from the case to the cards.

I really do look forward to the surprises Welson has in store at his blog WelsonAng.com. It’s certainly a blog I’ll be watching as Welson blogs about his very ‘colorful’ life; recalling events that happened from the time he was a teenager. So check it out and give my fellow ‘Professional Blogger’ your comments. :)

Honestly, I do sometimes feel tired of blogging because I like novelty and experimenting with new ideas, etc. But people like Welson remind me of how important it is to be professional and deserving of the title “Professional Blogger”. :)

And if YOU have been inspired to start your own blog or improve on your existing one, do get in touch with me at gracewwg@gmail.com. I have a couple of Blogging Workshops and Coaching sessions which just may be of interest to you.

Remember to keep striving towards the Gold Standard in whatever you’re doing! Whether you are a Professional Chef, a Professional Doctor, a Professional Homemaker, whatever! Cheers! :)

Interview with Alex Tan from VeganBurg www.veganburg.com

Remember that extraordinary ‘Buy 1 Burger, Get 2 FREE’ promo on Wednesday? I interviewed the boss 2 weeks ago to find out what other ‘wacky’ business decisions he has made! :D

Here I am with Alex and Amanda (my vegan friend) …

(No, the burgers are not as big as the one on the wall! :P )

*In a nutshell: Vegan food doesn’t have any dairy product in it – no milk, cheese, eggs – and no other animal products too. Even stricter than vegetarian diets*

Apparently, Alex came up with the idea of the Buy 1 Get 2 Free promo because he likes doing “extraordinary, crazy things” and wanted to let people try the burgers – the more, the merrier.

Before I share with you anything else, here’s what I thought of the food at VeganBurg:

Their Seasonal Special Tom Yum Burger:

You can see it has real pineapple bits spilling out when you cut the burger in half!

It’s spicy, salty Tom Yum goodness which I’ll rate 4/5. Eat this blindfolded and I am sure you won’t even realise it’s a vegan burger.

Price-wise, it’s a bit steep at $8.85 for the burger, and $12.85 for the set which includes seaweed fries and juice. But it’s only around for a limited period of time so you must try this!

I also tried the Char-Grilled Satay burger. $6.85 solo and $10.85 for the set.

Burger sliced in half so you can see what it looks like inside :) No… satay’s not served on a stick.

By the way, it’s a MUSHROOM patty with the satay sauce. I’ll rate it 3/5 as I found the patty pretty hard. Didn’t dig the Spinach Wheatgrass juice either as it tasted like really sweet apple juice.

In any case, if you love potatoes like I do, ABSOLUTELY order the Crispy Potato & Spinach Pops ($3.80)

They are incredibly yummy! This is a 5/5 as it’s healthy (has spinach bits inside ok!), yummy and freshly HANDMADE from scratch in-house! I don’t advise sharing this one. Tell your friend to buy his/her own! :D

Some people also like the vegan sausage franks (made from tofu) but I’m neutral on those.

Sounds like I ate a lot that day but the best thing about eating vegan food, I’ve found, is that it is very light on your stomach. You don’t get the bloated, uneasy feeling that comes with eating a full meal.

In fact, Alex became a vegetarian and a vegan later on because of health reasons – he suffered from stomach bloatedness as he used to eat a lot of ‘junk’. A plant-based diet restored his health and this is what he wants to share with us all.

He conceptualised VeganBurg in Feb 2010 and on 10.10.10, it was launched! He was previously someone who did product design for a particular company and had never cooked in a kitchen before!

He then faced challenges such as in inventing burger buns and patties which do not have egg or milk in them. His R&D paid off and hence we have these vegan burgers in Singapore. I would say it’s a mini revolution in the fastfood industry. :)

Right now, VeganBurg has 3 outlets ; 2 are currently open, 1′s opening soon. Alex’s plan is to have 5 outlets this year!

He says that there is “…no work more meaningful than this; to create a revolution for the fast-food industry. If I Succeed… it’s promising now… If I fail, at least I know I have made a contribution.”

It IS extremely tough for me to adopt a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle. But I certainly don’t mind having a vegan meal once a week, like Alex recommends. I believe it’ll do wonders for my health ;)

So go on and check out VeganBurg’s menu and outlets. And tell me if you like the Tom Yum burger or not; then I know what else I should recommend on this blog.

If you like this post, go ahead and submit your email address in the column on the right; I’ll send more interviews and freebies your way. Eat healthy and stay healthy! :)
