CQ gets an Award!

Now, this post is kind of too late ...nevertheless CQ was so touched - well it brought tears to CQ's eyes - and appreciate the warm friendship with this super always-bubbly-cheerful young lady - Azura.

Azura presented this 'Friends' Award to CQ

" These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to 8 bloggers who must choose 8 more. "

Outstanding!

Congratulations! to BinKhalid of Arab-Families.com who was among the sixteen recipients to recieve the "Outstanding Entrepreneurship Award APEA 2008 for Brunei Darussalam".

Organised by Asia-Pacific Entrepreneurship Award 2008 (APEA), the event was held at The International Rizqun hotel on last 29 August 2008.

BinKhalid had climbed the steps to success from scratch. Started as a car salesman, he is now the CEO of Serikandi Group of Companies. His dedication and determination in business has indeed inspired many young entrepreneurs and is willing to share his recipe of success - if you ask him :)

The APEA Awards are given in honour of enterprising men and women who have proven their enterprising spirit, whilst not neglecting the social responsibilities that come with business leadership.

I am honoured..

Little did I know, that I was in for a little ...no, a big surprise - when I checked on my little blog this early morning. No signs of hint or rumours (lols) ...BUT WOW! I have been awarded the 'you make my day' award by a fellow blogger from the Lion City! hmmm I'm still over-my-head with the unexpected award ...minus the red carpet walking though ..heehaw


My sincere 'thank you' to Saxyphone , an aspiring musician in his own rights and a blooms lover from Singapore, for giving me this award. I am truly honoured and glad that in a small way my blog and comments had made his day especially during his recent 'stressful' days.

Well, I blog because I love writing and was blog-bug-inspired by my Bigboss and a few bloggers like Arab-Families and SenorPablo . Creative writing plus some bits and pinches of life's jesty-ness and seriousness, had been my passion since 2000, and I do have a few other web pages of which I gained a tremendous number of friends and acquaintances. People say 'sharing is caring' ...so I care by sharing my writings and informative subjects with everyone or anyone who wish to peep in into my world of writing. But, never do I expect anything in return...you can just enjoy reading my writing.

In history :) I was made the Editor-in-Chief for a local in-house newsletter for staff where I used to work here in Brunei. One of my greatest moments is that my writings (through the newsletter) was read by departmental bosses from across the globe...and I wished it had been at least appreciated *sigh* ...anyway, I do keep a thick file of my hardwork (just in-case you need proof ..lols).

Besides writing allows me to think out-of-the-box and creatively...it is kind of making or putting your brain to work. To discover and express my thoughts on whatever subjects flashing through my mind, is a real challenge mentally.

So, I hope you people and bloggers do enjoy reading my blog :)
