If I were a brand...

Light a candle (Copyright by Pick Yin) 


Whenever you see darkness, there is extraordinary opportunity for the light to burn brighter. It is an opportunity for self-improvement.

I am thinking about doing a personal brand building - I want a stronger brand that speaks well for myself and creates presence wherever I am. I must get out of my invisible mode and be more visible! They say, the race is not always to the swift, but to those who keep on running. I must keep on running to keep ahead.

The Other Side of Nel 

As suggested by Women's Weekly magazine, I carried out a poll among my friends to take stock of my current personal brand as a basis for my new personal brand - "If I were a brand, what would I be? Why do you think so?"

The responses I received were eye openers and some were totally unexpected.

Prince Charming: Prada - immaculate, sexy, unrivalled in quality although I am tempted to say Durex - reliable, safe and elastic.

Belle of the Ball: Rolls Royce - limited edition, only those with discerning taste, or an acquired taste dares, and with the means to spend, can own me. (wow...I never thought that, really)

Lynn: Rolex - very upmarket and top of the range.

Soul Sista: Still thinking...

See Ming: Clinique Happy - so cheerful, people want to be with you because your smile is infectious (she's really sweet).

Deep Blue Sea: Still thinking...

Mr. Feel Good: Haagen Daz - distinct, vibrant, energetic, but at the same time, sexy, cool and calm - you make me wanna go wild (I won't know how to respond if this is a pick-up line, I'd probably find it easier to walk a hundred miles or go climb up a mountain).

Suku: Nike - Just Do It! (Great! Nike was the Goddess of Victory)

Va Va Voom: Toyota Camry - relible, safe and strong - built for comfort.

Black Dude: Habib Jewels - top quality diamonds that are worth every cent are every girl's best friend, massive appeal - everyone would love to have a piece of you. (oh, he does like me afterall)

Graveyard Shift: Still thinking...

Party Chick: Huh? Brand? I'm too tipsy to think right now... (yeah, one sip and she goes tipsy already)

Chi Chi: Marks & Spencer or Cadbury Hot Chocolates - homely, warm and fuzzy - gives me comfort (hehehe...I always stuff her with loads of food when she comes over to my house).
