Cheers! MiddleMe is now 4 months old!

Dear talented writers, faithful followers and wonderful readers,

All of you whom have been following diligently and never wavered from MiddleMe.net, always encouraging me to grow as a writer, I sincerely and humbly would like to express my heartfelt thanks. Through many of your beautifully written articles and your sincere comments, I have been inspired and taught so much. You never criticized me, you never left me and you never trampled my spirit.

MiddleMe has just crossed a lot of hurdles.

First up was to receive many numerous awards from kindhearted people who simply remembered my work and love my expressions. You never fail to delight me whenever I caught my name or MiddleMe’s in one of your nominations.

Secondly, was MiddleMe reaching 400 followers and counting as for today. This is an amazing feat brought only by you all. If calculations is about right, 4 months 400 followers, 10 months 1000 followers! Yipee!!

Screen Shot 2015-10-28 at 9.23.42 pmThirdly, I have surpassed writing more than 100 posts! Wow… I never knew I could write so much. This amazed my loved ones even myself.

Fourth, just look at the spike at my stats and this could only be brought fro by you. So give yourself a great big hug from me!!

Lastly, I got 1000 likes from you! This plus your constant encouraging comments push me on to produce better articles, express myself better and touch on topics that seems to be taboo for discussion.

So credit should be given where credit is due…. A HUGE THANK YOU! No matter whether you have followed MiddleMe from day 1 or you have join in recently, YOU ARE STILL THE BEST. EVER.

I’ll like to take this chance to specially express my gratitude towards my pioneer readers, these folks have been with me since early days of writing and always never fail to read most if not all of my articles, these folks who always stand by me even when I made silly Grammar mistakes, these folks who push me to do more, these folks whom I am afraid of disappointing. So kudos to…

My 10 Pioneer Readers:

noblethemes (Thank you, Jonathan!)


Art by Rob Goldstein (Thank you, Robert!)

Hummingbird Redemption (Thank you, Raphaela!)

The Neighborhood (Thank you, Kendall!)

S.K.Nicholas (Thank you, Nicholas!)
Daily Inspiration (Thank you, Julius!)
Lace & Pearls (Thank you, Asa!)

White Walls & Wanderlust (Thank you, Alex!)
Rognac Smart City (Thank you, Bernard!)

Trivia Time

Many of you have commented that I looked very young in my photo and in fact, that I might not be as old as I claimed. Haha! You all have been fooled by my youthful looks. I am proud to say I am right smack in mid thirties and I only look young because I am an Asian. Usually Asian ladies looked 10 years younger than their actual age. As my profile mentioned, I have been working as a manager since 2003 (I was a mere 23 years old kid then) but I have already accumulated 6 of working experience before that. Yes, I started working very very young because I preferred to work full time and study part time rather than the other way round as I believed the world offers a great better education than the classroom.

So the mystery has been cleared. Get back to work, folks! *grin*

      Haha.. I was pretty emotional when I was typing this out. When I first started out, I didn’t know if anyone would read it or even like it. I was so harsh on myself, thinking that no one will give a shit on career advice but still the perseverance in me pushed on. I thought “Heck it, at least I give it a try and spread my wisdom around.” Thank you, Mann for such loving words.
