Dear David,

I am ************** from Jordan and we met during the Gala dinner that was organized by OYL in Imperial Hotel.

 Our company is Arab Technical Group (ATG) and we represent OYL and many other International companies in Jordan.

We are organizing a Big event that will take place in Amman-Jordan as we are having a Grand Opening of our new Showrooms & Offices and we will be offering a Reception Party for our clients & engineers.

  I really was very happy with your “Mental” magic and I thought that I can communicate with you to check the possibility of co-operation by having you visiting Amman and presenting your show to our guests.

  We will be honored to have you as a special guest and we can pay all your travel costs (Flight tickets) & accommodation (5 Stars Hotel) & transportation in Amman.

Also,we can organize & pay for some activities for you like visiting the Dead Sea (the Lowest Point in Earth) and also visiting the famous ancient city of Petra.

I need to know of your interest and what would be the fees for your participation if you agree to come over.

Our activity will be taking place on the evening of 21/10/2008.

 I hope to receive your positive answer along with a “reasonable” fee that can be affordable to us.

Also,we can organize & pay for some activities for you like visiting the Dead Sea (the Lowest Point in Earth) and also visiting the famous ancient city of Petra.

N.B. My colleague Eng. ********** is staying in KL till next Thursday so if needed, you can contact him at Imperial Hotel Room # *****. His mobile is +96279553****.

It’s a really great oppourtunity to expand to the middle east …but it clashes with some really important stuff . My Dubai trip is also canceled and I’m focusing on the H-Factor now ( which is taking it place ) . Decisions ….

Lots of things to think about . My mind is still blurry from the setback I’m facing but…enough is enough .

Hie guys , sorry for the lack of updates . Some lingering problems have been popping up , but here is something interesting for you to look forward too .

I am one of the speaker ( or rather would I say performer ) for the H-Factor tour . Hope to see you at the designated venues ! I’m like one of the most junior in the group ( actually , I am the most junior in the group ) , so hopefully everything will be ok .

Wish me luck ,

-David Lai

Chauffeur driven in Penang …what an experience..

I was recently invited down by Jess & Hannah to come over to Penang for a party . It was the General Manager of Shang-Rilla Rasa Sayang’s party ( Mr Desmond ) and it was to be held in his house . The person who invited me was Sulaiman Tunku Abdul Rahman ( now doesn’t that ring a bell ? ) , the grandson of Tunku Abdul Rahman himself . He passed the message to Hannah , and Hannah gave me a ring after that . A humble , down to earth person who speaks perfect English , Sulaiman was a great host to during my stay .

Rooms were provided for me at Rasa Sayang resort itself ( A 6 star resort ! ) and the performance for the night was casual ! No obligations ! A fantastic way to spend Merdeka Eve ! It was partaay all the way !

Enjoy the pictures !

My host in Penang , Mr . Sulaiman Tunku Abdul Rahman , the grandson of Tunku Abdul Rahman . A great guy and host .

The suite which was marvelous

Sitting hall in the suite…and it has a jacuzzi in the room itself !

The party at the General Manager’s house, Mr Desmond’s house …It doesn’t get better like this , having a pool this huge in your compound …

and yes….he had synchronize swimming at his party ….OMG ….

The crowd for the night was witty and super fun to mix around with . Great guys…who mostly had titles in front of their names … but down to earth humble gentleman .

My very own BUTLER !

These are a few group pictures of the whole bunch that went down .

All drinking sup kambing at Hannah’s recommended spot .

Eating Char Kuey Teow ! Makuku , at one stall , we had to wait 45 minutes for a plate of Char Kuey Teow ! Is it that good ??

And finally , a classic picture of Hannah and a drum stick…priceless … 

I believe at my age , money is `almost’ everything . Those who say it isn’t are living in a world of denial . If you had’t notice I said ` I believe ‘ , you don’t have to agree .

The old saying goes , ` Love is all you need ‘ . I say it’s bullshit . Without money , do you realise how many arguments takes place in a relatiosnhip due to the lack of monetery funds ? A LOT ! I also resent the statement of ` GOD IS ALL YOU NEED ‘ . I’ve been to the Phillipines a couple of times . In the Phillipines , 95 % of the population are Roman Catholics ….unfortunately , the poverty & crime rate there is one of the highest in the world …What happened ? Same goes for Brazil . They all pray , I have no doubt on that , yet …… I never said I din’t believe there was a GOD . Don’t quote me .

 Earning money does have it’s price . Yes , what a way to put it . Earning money has it’s `price’ .

I haven’t been updating this poor old blog for quite some time now . Not because I’m lazy . I promise I’m not and I don’t plan to be . It’s not because I don ‘t have anything exiting to write on .. because I do ! Lots and lots of things to write and rant about ! It’s just that I’m so busy finding new ways to earn money . Hopefully , lots and lots of it . I guess it all depends on how much you want it .

I said money is `almost’ everything , so whats your drive ?

Make sure it’s the right one …

One of the bigger breaks that I had was being featured in Reader’s Digest quite a while back ago . Somehow , magazines always eluded me due to my `good looks ‘ ( please read between the lines )  . I never really `promoted’ myself or went all out to seek coverage , thinking about it , I was never a good publicist ( I hope I spelled that correctly ! ) . Without some really good friends of mine , I would not have even seen the tiniest bit of mainstream media coverage . I’ve got to learn .

MEDIA COVERAGE = MORE SHOWS = MONEY

A big thank you goes out to Hannah Tan for getting me the interview , and many other things . THANK YOU ! Here are my articles that are out in the month of August .

Have a great weekend guys ! I have a lot soming up for me . Good stress .=)

In this modern world , a consistent monthly pay check is never enough . I believe , in living the life  that you want , you need MONEY . Money is interwined with many aspects in life , and one of them is Happiness . Money is important , very important . Those who neglect or ignore this fact will definitely be left out .

I have loads of dreams besides magic and mentalism . One of my interest was always property . Allthough not very good at it , I have great friends who are . One of them is Daniel Tan   , he’s a celebrity in the entertainment industry but I never knew that his knowledge on property is very vast .  He always went on property hunting trips, so I dcided to tag along with him today .

4 of us , being Adrian , Simon and Daniel went out to look see,  look see at developements around Subang and KL . We went to condos , studio apartments , and even the NAZA showroom to get some motivation to earn more money in the future …. or so we say . Who drives a Ferari at 22 ? I can’t think of any friends who do !

One of the studio apartments in Mont Kiara , going for RM426 K

Daniel thought me a lot about loans , procedures in getting property and how to evaluate the value and ROI of an investment . I felt that I have gained alot from my outing today . You don’t learn about these type of shit in university . If you’re reading this , thanks man . At 25 , it’s really amazing to know that Daniel has accumulated quite a few properties on his own !

Simon , Daniel and Adrian at the Naza World showroom

With our future car , hopefully in the next few years …

Money is important , thats a pivotal fact . Knowledge about money and positive action is how I’m going to get more money to come my way . We’ll see how it goes  , wish me luck ! =)

I’m not sure how long exactly will this make her smile , but it’s is something caveman simple for a an exquisite girl .

I never knew stones were that heavy . This will be the 1st and last time you see me meddling with stones . …I’ll use something lighter the next time …styrofoam …painted like stones ?

It all started off with an idea I always wanted to do …. and then a few stones … more than 60 of them .

No new post for now . Blame the bad internet connection where I’m at .
