After a couple of years of being interviewed at FM 947, Ms. Terry Chan suggested that I branch out and design the stage for the New Talent Singing Awards at the Jack Singer Concert Hall. I am truly blessed that she thought of me for this project and encouraged me to branch out. Upon her insistence, I branched out and started Wishahmon – Event Creations. Under this branch, I designed a bridal booth for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation at Bridal Fantasy, helped out Ruby Woo with their fundraiser project for Japan Tsunami Relief and organized the Rays of Hope Fundraiser Concert for Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. I think I am truly “hooked” on giving back and doing fundraisers. I hope to continue to work with organizations in their fundraising efforts.
My regular blog readers know (by now) that I don’t make New Years Resolutions. Rather I opt to learn something new or do something differently. For 2012, my “Not New Years Resolution” is to take risks. At the end of each year, I go through all of my files and re-organize everything. This year, I found two folders labeled “2009 ideas” and “2010 ideas.” Both of these folders contained design/business ideas that I had thought of, researched, and talked myself out of it. (All of the really bad ideas never did last in these folders.) I recalled some of the excuses were: There is no way there is a market for that; I don’t know who to contact to start that; I can’t commit the time to that project; (and the all-time winner) My Chinese horoscope says I shouldn’t take risks this year.
Good grief, Charlie Brown! Enough with the excuses, this year I am going to try out some of my new “old” ideas and see where it takes me. Please keep your fingers crossed for me and check in often to see what my progress is! Wish me luck!!
