Invest X Congress: The writing is on the wall!

Thursday, June 19, 2014

I received many emails after the conclusion of Invest X Congress 2014. I am honestly quite overwhelmed. Many of these emails moved me and some made me laugh. I am sharing a photo which made me laugh so hard that I almost fell off my chair but, first, the emails:

Hi AK,
 
I thought I will 打铁趁热 and show you what I stick on my office wall as a reminder to do better. Thanks for sharing in the Invest X event; looking forward to see you in action again.
 
Regards,
Y

My reply:

Hi Y,

Oh, I remember this slide. I said something like "One look, you can tell not written by me." LOL! ;p

Take away the definite article "the" and we will get:

"Never need to utilise our earned income for expenses."

I zoomed in and when I saw what you added in the bottom right hand corner, I laughed and almost fell off my chair! LOL!

Gambatte! :D

Best wishes,
AK


Now, the photo:


I couldn't quite see what was in the bottom right hand corner and so I zoomed in:


LOL!

Certainly gives the saying "the writing is on the wall" a twist!

Thanks for brightening up my day.

Invest X Congress: A letter and more photos.

I was very touched by this email and I think I got a bit teary eyed, both from reading the email and laughing at the photos. Thank you, SH.

Hi AK,

It was definitely a pleasure to hear you speak last Saturday at the Invest X Congress event.

I brought my mom, your fervent supporter to the event and she enjoyed herself a lot. The only reason she attended the event was because of you. We took the front row seats and of course, I took many pictures of you. Not as professional as the photographers at the event but still, not bad lah.

Enjoy! 

I would like to thank you for being so generous with the information in your blog. My mom reads your blog everyday and ever since she introduced me to your blog, I began to be interested in investing too! That was the turning point that made me decide to go into a career in Finance even though my degree was in Science. Guess whose blog I read before my interviews? Yes, your blog! You've definitely made a very positive impact in many peoples' lives. :)

Cheers!
SH
Aiyoh, too high tech liao.


Strike a pose! Can put on a pedestal or not?


Can audition for "Grease" or not?



Head itchy, how to scratch?

AK making a point. Nah, maybe he was just pointing.
AK swatting a fly?

Pesky fly!

That's it lah! Caught the fly!

OK, no more ice cream!


AK scratching himself?

AK scratching... er... I don't think you want to know.


AK giving directions. "This way to financial freedom."
Er... Look out for the longkangs hor.
