"Part of our vision is to try to build up the image of Asian-made software. Right now it is still being perceived as second grade."
 

"I'm very communicative when I'm with my children. So we're rather close. Once they wanted to form a band. I let them. I and my hubby simply became their singers. That's the way with the young today. You can't be too rigid all the time."
   

"I tell my children, 'You already finish studies. You come in and try (my business). If you like, you stay. If you don't like, you leave.'"
   

"My background may be very Oriental but when it comes to business operations. I'm learning a lot of Western management styles which I admire."
   

"I always feel that competition is healthy. It provides you with challenges to provide better services and newer techniques to serve your customers. For me, every obstacle is a challenge to bring me to the next level."
   

"Although our company doesn't provide lunch, we will never get hungry in our shops. Our customers always bring curry puffs, cakes and cookies to offer our staff."

"At first, (staff) tended to be a bit skeptical when I was interviewing them. At times, they really believed I was the personal assistant to the CEO or the office manager instead (as the aerospace industry is dominated by men).
   

"Business has always been in my blood. I wanted to do it earlier but since I didn't come from a rich family, I couldn't start one just like that. After working for a few years. I had saved enough. So why not?"
