February 23, 2008 - This Lunar New Year ushers in the Year of the Rat which marks the beginning of a new cycle in the Chinese Lunar calendar. To many, the Year of the Rat represents a new beginning for business, a great time to launch a product and an incredible opportunity to generate wealth.
It was a joyous occasion as our family members in Singapore came together to celebrate the evening. As they laughed and chatted, little did the guests know that a special treat was on the way. A lion dance troupe was hired to entertain the guests with their high energy performance, banging drums and crashing cymbals! During the Lunar New Year, the lion dance is performed to ward off evil spirits and bad luck with flashes of loud noises and brilliant colours. This brings good luck to businesses.
Soon after, the guests were ushered into the events room where the host engaged them in a quiz that saw the participants sharing their knowledge to help one another. The quickest responses won prizes- lucky red packets filled with sweets that symbolise a harmonious family.
Next, our CEO, Mr. Richard Tan graced a prize-giving ceremony by presenting them to the achievers. The prizes included powerful Lenovo laptops, holiday vouchers, branded handphones, digital cameras, high performance audio speakers, MP4 players and motivational DVDs.
Following the prize presentation was an inspiring speech from Richard. As it is the year of the rat, he quoted meaningful lines and drew parallels between the movie "Ratatouille" and the courage to achieve one’s dreams and goals. Richard also revealed ongoing plans to leverage mobile technology to deliver SkyQuestCom’s rich educational content to a wider spectrum of people. Ending his speech on a positive note, Richard introduced for the very first time, our General Manager for Singapore, Mr. Terence Tan.
Terence was a featured speaker at the Global Internet Summits. He has shared the speaking platform with renowned Internet Marketing experts including Stephen Pierce, Tom Hua and Patric Chan. Terence was straightforward about his plans for the Singapore and international markets. Pulling no punches, he challenged the distributors to achieve their goals and explode their businesses in this year of changes.
In a grand finale, the guests were invited to toss the “Yu Sheng”, a delicious and colourful salad of fresh raw fish, crunchy vegetables and toppings, each symbolic of an area of prosperity in the new year. To the Chinese, the toss symbolises abundance, prosperity and vigour.
It was a warm glowing night of renewed energy and positive affirmations for all who participated in the event. Not only did the distributors take one step closer to ignite their sales in Singapore, they also relished the chance to foster closer relationships. With an exciting future to look forward to, 2008 will certainly be THE year of new opportunities and good changes.
