Couldn't believe i managed to retrieve my previous blog which i did 4 years ago! If you don't get what im saying just click on this link
http://stevenscw.blogspot.com/
which referring a rubber band ball project n my weekly or monthly blog starting from 2007.

Times flies and looking back what i gone through is so thrilling, i have been through the stage of property investment, marriage, fatherhood in 4 years. Someone just nudge me and say "hey, why dig your own grave so early" replied "if i know what to do i will just do it and do it fast" this sentence just strike from my mind naturally. I hope to continue my blog in future and build a bigger rubber band ball. In fact that ball in the picture is still with me and is bigger now. Is time to back to restart the engine, catch up for coming blog.

Weekend...Yeah!
is the forth weekend of the year...n CNY is around de corner...cant wait for the angpow collecting season heheh...anyway...so far i hv been squeeze my weekend till very very de dry...in fact im doing
more tiring job during de weekend last week went to sales convention n can say fully recharge my motivation level to push me further..this week even went to football with colleagues n did sum CNY shopping at Royal Sporting House...(bought one bery cheap England jersey at RM99) n carrefour (to buy rubber band)...when i reached there n asked de personnel...surprisingly hypermarket dun sell rubber band...tat is weird...it sell almost everything but not rubber band!!??nvm tat is ok may b i can try out tesco next time....later on will go pasar malam again...after come back will continue tie my rubber band ball ;)

Why do i do this?
There are no concrete reason when i 1st doing this (tieing rubber band and make it into ball)and it all started at this place

which is at my workstation...the place where i work every weekdays...the drawer i used to put alot of rubber band now only left few (cos the rest i edy used on my RBB - rubber band ball edy)
cos there are no spaces to accomodate all these rubber band...so at the sudden i just took out sum rubber band n tie them together so it save sum space...n the more i tied...the more ball look it looks like...Initially is looks like a square cube like object so i just make a few round of rubber band around de object...n it changes to a sphere like object...as i seen it is very cute and bouncy like ping pong ball...

wheni show it to my friends...they asked "wats tat?"

I reply"believe anot, this is made up of rubber band"

with sum curiousity face n asked "how u made this ball?"

i then reply "is a long story and is coincidence it turn up into a ball when i try to organise my stuff"

The Progress...
For now the ball is edy grow up into a size that my hp camera cant fit into the screen...why do i say so...check this!!

C the last pic of the ball, is under de same screen of every pic but this ball is too big to fit in the screen of my hp camera

the last picture showed it had tie up close to 500 rubber band together...took 3 weeks to do it...n i would consider
this is the end of the phase 1 project....
in coming pic i would use a relative size of the RBB
(probably baseball to match with this RBB)

Next RBB story
How do i tie this ball up? technical n systematical way tat can tie the ball tight n strong n bouncy...(u might think is easy but is not...cos is rounded)

i reply "this is one of its kind investment fund in the market...is rare to c this fund appear in market..n when i explain to prospects they are just *blink! really? let me know the launching date for this fund*"

Branch Manager asked again "So, do u have confidence to sell this?"

everyone is silent n i reply "if i have no confidence, i wont be standing here giving this briefing"

all of the sudden everyone claps n cheers ....kekek felt like this is the greatest sentences to prove my confidence level....
