Now that the baby is a month old, it's time for our weekend family exploration to resume! Yup, I have been looking forward to going out again with the kids, especially since we didn't manage to do much during the March hols.
Sooooo.. we travelled far this time round and visited @jurongfrogfarm (which is not in Jurong but in Lim Chu Kang). The moment we reached, the hubby was saying that it looked old and run-down, and that we would probably stay for a brief while only so I even left the stroller and my diaper bag in the car.
Well, it turned out that we stayed for over an hour eventually! Why? Firstly, we made our way to feed the frogs, where you can buy the food from the shop at $2 per tub. There were three feeding pens which were filled with frogs but it didn't seem like they were very hungry.
Next, the hubby discovered that you could go frog catching at $10 per pax for 30 minutes! He asked if the kids wanted to try and as expected, the girls were game enough and said yes, especially the firstborn who loves animals, bugs and all kinds of creatures. I didn't expect the 5yo boy to want to try and in fact, I told him we could just watch from the side. It turned out that he asked if he could join in and do it as a trio. Yup, of course, we let him try though I was quite sure he wouldn't be plucky enough to pick up any frog.
I was proven wrong because after seeing how his sisters did it - Angel was an expert from the start while Ariel learnt the techniques shortly - this boy managed to do it on his own not once, not twice but many times.
There was initially no one else but when passers-by saw our kids learning to pick up frogs and being gentle with them, over half a dozen of them let their kids try it out too. Woohoo! Yup, so we stayed till the end because the girls were busy carrying the frogs to all the newcomer kids and telling them not to be afraid.
It was a first experience for them and let's just say they are definitely braver than Mama (who is squeamish just watching them with the frogs, like how I still don't like mealworms but the kids hold and treat them as pets). Looking forward to more learning trips and fun adventures as a family!

翻出2017年的作品片段
這支舞是為了MANIAC12週年
特別編排的作品【Future Chorus】
這支舞我們只跳過三次
而且影片我們自己還沒發佈過
配著Daft Punk解散的遺憾心情
回顧這影片更覺感慨
影片中的人已少了一大半
剩下的人還能堅持多久?我不知道
許多家人雖選擇了不同的道路
但都還是抱持著MANIAC的精神
讓生命發光發熱並分享能量給他人🥰
也很感謝大部分的家人
15週年都有回來參與及幫忙🙏🏻
看著這支舞配著歌詞
當時編排的回憶與感受湧上心
我們像是合唱團一樣
用生命陪伴彼此 一起成長跌倒 磨練發光
才能譜出每段動人的旋律
用舞蹈唱歌 探索 傳遞 分享
用舞蹈編織出每個階段的重要回憶
感謝陪我走過生命的每一位
曾盡力付出過就不會後悔
活過的每一秒 不論快樂悲傷
都值得慶祝
Like the legend of the phoenix
All ends with beginnings
Tonight
We gonna celebrate one more time
Don't wait till it's too late
Work it harder make it better
Do it faster makes us stronger
More than ever hour after hour
Work is never over
Love will never over
MANIAC will never over
謝謝總是幫我們紀錄無價回憶的 周昕玫 (周酸)
謝謝一直挺我們的 Boog Nation
感謝所有用心的藝術創作者
是你們讓這世界更明亮 活著更美好
Thank you Daft Punk Pentatonix
For making all these inspiring music
You make our lives brighter and beautiful 🙏🏻❤️

【Pitching in the Age of COVID-19】
Pitching is a very fundamental skill that we help all of our founders develop. Whether it's to potential employees, clients, or investors, understanding your target audience and crafting your narrative accordingly is a ubiquitous art that is pivotal through all lifecycles of your startup.
But COVID19 has completely redefined the rules of the game. Subtle emotional cues that you would normally pick up through body language and facial expressions have now been washed out by pixelated screens and internet latency. Building rapport through prolonged pleasantries and adhoc chit chat have been mulled over by coronavirus talk and regimented back-to-back virtual meetings.
And if you had a hard time captivating the attention of your audience in person, those efforts are even more likely to be thwarted now with the handful of distractions they literally have at their fingertips from internet browsers to messaging clients to phones.
Having now sat through dozens of virtual pitches, I'd like to pass on 5 tips to keep your audience interested and engaged (specifically geared towards founders pitching investors):
1. Do your homework
I can't stress this enough. This applies both in a pre and post COVID19 world. Leave as much guess work out of the equation by doing as much research on the person you're meeting as possible. If it's an investor, understand the basics of their fund, including fund size, areas of interest, geographic coverage, as well as the investor's background (age, schooling, nationality, etc.). Use these data points as way to build rapport and tailor your pitch accordingly.
2. Send your deck early
A prospective investor may or may not read it. But you have to at least give them that option. For the ones that do, the conversations are guaranteed to become 2x more productive, with an initial field of understanding and questions having already been set. You typically only have 1 hour, so best make use of that time.
3. Streamline your deck
Often times slides are filled with a superfluous amount of information or too many graphics where the main point gets lost in translation. Make sure you can summarize each slide in a one-sentence takeaway, and that each slide helps illustrate either 1) the problem 2) your solution 3) your team 4) your traction. Generally 10 - 12 slides will suffice. Anything extra, put it in the appendix!
4. Insert Q&A breaks
Usually when someone is confused or skeptical, it shows on their face. Less evident on virtual meetings unfortunately. Strategically insert Q&A breaks in your pitch to make sure your audience is on the same page, rather than letting questions pile up till the end. This also helps make the pitch more dynamic, more engaging, and more of a conversation. Studies have also shown that people tend to tune out after 10 minutes, which is why Apple normally swaps out its speakers every 10 minutes or so at its annual WWDC.
5. Practice, practice, practice.
A lot of times it's not so much what you say, but how you say it. Early stage investors are often times betting on feeling as much as rational hypotheses. This means you need to exude a sense of confidence and passion, which may be hard to generate when you're speaking into a camera for 1 hour. Try recording yourself on camera to see how you actually come off and then adjust accordingly.
Furthermore, don't just practice the pitch in and of itself, but also Q&A where a lot of the "sale" actually occurs. This is when investors are testing your wit and execution, to really understand if you know your space and your business, and extracting any insights you may/should have. They're also looking to see if you have a true passion for the problem at hand. Startups are hard. Very hard. If you don't have a strong heart or "why", you will not make it.
5.5 This goes without saying, but when conducting virtual pitches, make sure you have good hygiene, dress appropriately, and are in a quiet place where you won't be distracted by pets, children, or loud chatter.
Happy pitching!
