A little about my background. I was born on 27th September 1979 and raised in a farming family in Malaysia. I am 42 years old this year and I was instructed to leave my job position as an IT lecturer, researcher and consultant immediately on 7th November 2014 after 9 years and 3 months of service without giving me any reasons and extra compensation. I was happy to leave because I started www.SoLemMi.com on 7th May 2014 and my feeling was one door closed and another door will be opened. I was expected a government grant or any angel investors will contact me so that they will fund my plan to equip Malaysians especially to be a globalist and not only staying in Malaysia and not knowing the world. Thus, I have written down my world traveling logs in 365 days with a book titled "Sunshine Little Kitchen" in year 2012 for the 1st edition with a publisher from United States of America.
Due to the publication of my book, "Sunshine Little Kitchen", I have attracted those like-minded and extremely successful people to be my friends. They were like me, they have traveled around the world during their school days within a small group and independently. However, I had triggered a huge group of people in Malaysia and worldwide who were offended by my book, "Sunshine Little Kitchen". They were offended because they were rich according to them, however, at age 21 years old, they might be studied overseas yet, they did not take the opportunities to travel the world. They felt extremely angry and they used their power to stop all my possibilities to get funding and jobs to release their anger and unsatisfaction about what I have written as a non-fiction book to a fiction book and they tried to ensure that I must be in debts, jobless, having attitude problem and definitely a bankruptcy. I wish that these people can use their power and their influential ability to sell my books and not comparing how rich am I, how rich was I and how "poor" attitude they had when they talked to me.
I started to travel the world with plans using Lonely Planet traveling guide when I was an undergraduate student at the age of 21 years old without any help from my parents. I saved my money and I worked extra hours as a part-time tutor and a part-time waitress for traveling the world. I normally will have my free meals in the restaurants due to it was a benefit as a part-timer. Hence, I was spending less than RM 5 per day for my meals daily ever since year 1998. I started to accumulate traveling funds since year 1998 and I used 3 years to gather extra money.
My first trip while I was a student, I traveled to Thailand for 14 days. I was 21 years old at that time.
During my student status, I continued to my traveling plans and I have compiled the list as below.
1. Thailand (24th November 2001-06th December 2001 (14 days))
2. South Korea (12th July 2002-30th July 2002 (19 days))
3. Japan (31st January 2003-9th February 2003 (10 days))
4. Borneo—Sabah, Sarawak and Brunei (8th January 2004-17 January 2004 (12 days))
5. Singapore (21st February 2004-22nd February 2004 (2 days))
6. Republic of Maldives (21st August 2004-01st September 2004 (12 days))
7. Republic of Egypt (19th December 2004-13th January 2005 (25 days))
8. United States of America (6th June 2005-2nd October 2005 (119 days))
Besides, when I was a student since year 1998, my father gave me a mobile phone with a brand, "Philip" with Celcom Malaysia. I was given an imported car in red colour, a motorcycle and a bicycle when I was a student by my father to ease all my traveling for my part-time jobs as a home tutor and waitress in the restaurant. According to my father, when I was a home tutor, I must drive a car. When I was a waitress, I must ride a motorbike and when I went to attend lectures, I must ride a bicycle.
I hope that through www.SoLemMi.com, I can promote openness, resourcefulness, thinking and humanity among the worldwide community through traveling the world especially my home country Malaysians not for the purpose to compare how rich a girl from farming family like me when I was an undergraduate student in year 1998 with all my peers who are the children of Forbes list billionaires in Malaysia and the world. According to the reliable source, I had a more fulfilling life than the children at my age of the richest people, i.e. the Forbes list billionaires in the world in year 1998 because I managed to travel to 8 countries when I was a student without my parents' financial support. And, I met good quality people all over the world.
I can say that I am an expert in traveling the world, thus, I started www.SoLemMi.com to give supports and the most economical ways to help those people who want to travel the world like me at a very young age especially to be highlighted that I traveled the most when I was a student.
Thus, I deserve my position now as the Founder, CEO and CTO of www.SoLemMi.com and I deserve the funding and investment grants from all over the world because I might not born rich monetary but, my spirit and momentum for a better world must be the richest woman in the world in Forbes list. I am excited, and, I am working very hard towards my goals.
Support me! Buy a copy of my book, "Sunshine Little Kitchen" and be my investors instead of sour grapes that comparing I was richer than you in the old days and yet, you have money now for me to help more people to have chances to see the world economically.
Let's be a globalist! Think global and beyond!
Thank you!
