  Went all the way to NTU to meet Mr Koh at the Techno Research Plaza.  I don't know what he sees in me,  he even went through the trouble to introduce me to all the big shots there.  Had the feeling that I should at least say something when he introduced me,  but I just don't know what to say.  Am I supposed to say anything at all?
 The deputy director of the program,  if I remember correctly,  was an absolutely humble and amiable man for his age.  Yet,  I did not make the effort to create that much needed first impression.  What on earth was I doing?
 All didn't go well even from the beginning:  Clueless Guy:  " Sir,  are you in the middle of something?  Wonder if I could ask you about my business idea.
 Mr Koh:  " Sure.  Just call me XXXX XXX,  it's ok.  Clueless Guy:
 " Oh,  ok.  Sir,  let me get my laptop out.  (
Reaches for laptop and felt a hole where the battery should be)  Clueless Guy:  " Erm.  Never mind,  (
putting the laptop back into the bag while Mr Koh moves to my side and looks confused when I did that)  I did not bring my battery.  Mr Koh:  " Oh.  you did not bring your battery.
 Clueless Guy:  " Let me just draw the business model out on the paper.  Anyway,  what's most comforting is that he seems to me as someone who really wants to see me get that scholarship,  someone who is running the whole show to get that technopreneurship program recognised in Singapore.
 Also learnt from him that when it comes to business meetings with people more senior than oneself,  a session has to be agreed on for each other to show what one has to offer.  If the other party insist that age is a decising factor for business success,  then just back out from the deal since it's already a lose- lose situation.  Found out that his associate's friend managed to earn $
14K/ mth from eBay selling cellphone accessories.  Sounds incredulous but why not if he manage a large volume of sales?  It seems that $ 5k/ mth is a really attainable goal for a sideline business eh.
 *  Mum's right eye has gone crazy,  out of alignment.  Wonder why.  Have to get her to see an optimetrist soon.
