From the First ASEAN Youth Entrepreneurs Seminar & Exposition Brunei

May 23, 2013 | 18 Comments

This is my second time visiting Brunei. The last time was to speak at Think Big Innovate 2012. And few days ago I’m back to Brunei to speak about entrepreneurship to ASEAN young entrepreneurs on the first ASEAN Youth Entrepreneurs Seminar and Exposition.

I thought this time I’m going to focus on one message: about being perfect. I always say that I’m an imperfectionist. I start small and quick, far from perfect, because I believe perfection is a journey. So, this ‘lean startup’ spirit is the one that I want to spread in the forum. Speaking with me was Muzamir Mustafa and Azura Liyana, both entrepreneurs from Malaysia.

From the networking event, I met a lot of young and passionate people from across ASEAN country.

I met some Bruneian university students who want to start their own business with fund from an angel investor: their dads I asked them, “You know that you’re lucky to be in the University for free, right?” They giggle, “We know!”

I also met Gee from Philippines that really passionate to beat all odds and finally will start his own fashion line

I also spend time to stroll around Brunei, enjoying the view from their magnificent Masjids

Going to Bandar Seri Begawan’s very clean, neat and beautiful market where a fish seller said I’m beautiful like a celebrity and a grandma sang Malay poetry

Even I met a food seller lady who recognize me because I was on Brunei tv the night before :))

As always, I really enjoy my trip to Brunei. Wearing Baju Kurung, Brunei traditional dress, bring a sense of a Malay Queen in me :)) I feel a lot like a woman

Last but not least, thanks a lot Huda, who’s been helping me taking my pictures, and taking me shopping around Brunei, I owe you a lot, keep in touch

It’s a long way for me, from an awkward girl who didn’t know how to do a presentation, to someone who has to present something in English in front of regional/international audience. I hope what I’ve been trying to say was heard and could be the inspiration for you to dream, create and act – living the life you always wanted!

Ps: all pictures were taken with my new camera Samsung NX300 – and I’ve started a #picslosophy hashtag to capture human interest photos every day!

However it is important to realize that the Fat Loss Factor is not a panacea that will
magically remove any fat and If you are looking for a “lose 10 pounds in 10 days magical programs”,
then The Fat Loss Factor is probably not for you.

If the your body fat is above 25% but below 30% (Women) or above 20% but below 25% (
Men) then you are overweight, you are carrying more fat around than
you need or that is healthy for you and it
probably means you are eating too much of the wrong foods.
That is why you only need to follow the above guidelines 90%
of the time, which allows for 4-5 cheat meals per week.

With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright infringement?

My blog has a lot of exclusive content I’ve either written myself or outsourced but it seems a lot
of it is popping it up all over the internet without my permission.
Do you know any solutions to help reduce content from
being stolen? I’d really appreciate it.

Hello! Quick question that’s entirely off topic. Do you know how to make your site
mobile friendly? My weblog looks weird when browsing from my iphone.
I’m trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to correct this problem.
If you have any recommendations, please share. Appreciate it!

Their services are valuable to you simply because they take the guess work out of the training and nutrition your body needs to be healthy for life.

Women should take half a serving, and men should take one serving, mixed in the recommended amounts
of water. That is why you only need to follow the above guidelines 90% of the time, which allows for
4-5 cheat meals per week.

It can be potential to influenсe the slimming reѕult by performing physical workout
and continuing the diet strategу. When you don’t have to force feed yourself with your nose plugged the chancеs are much higher you can stick to your diet plan more easily.
Drink plenty of watеr in betωeen meals, as thirst is often confused
with hunger.

Very cool photos, Ollie. I love that you’re able to go and speak at a conference you have an interest in while visiting a country to also see its sights — as well as capture some great shots. Work doesn’t feel so much like work when you’re having fun!

pemerhati ollie May 31, 2013 at 1:22 am

lie..jangan pake bulumata palsu atau dandanan menor dong…
dosa loh…lo udah tahu blom?

comment ini jgn diapprove ya…email diatas juga bukan beneran…gw cuma pemerhati ollie..dari zaman ollie masih polos banget wajahnya diwawancara sebuah majalah…

sorry ya lie gw gak nampakin diri sebenernya…
karna terkadang seseorang sulit menerima saran/nasehat krn tahu siapa yg ngomong…pdhl yang diomongin itu kebenaran.
jadi jauh lebih enak ngomong kebenaran…tanpa perlu ngeliat siapa yang nyampein..

i love u karna Allah lie in sya Allah.

saya setuju, sepertinya lebih nyaman mbak ollie yg dulu. Kalo kata politikus lebih ‘merakyat’ simple.
Kalo sekarang terkesan ‘wah’ glamor banget, hehehehe
*pisss
