Wait! Isn't your name Eric Chong???


Some of the newer visitors to my blog (which at this point of writing, means all of you), may wonder why I am using "Erican Chong "as my name in blogspot, rather than my more commonly known name, Eric Chong.

The answer lies on the great World Wide Web. You see, I recently - on a whim - googled 'Eric Chong' just to see how many Eric Chong's there are out there on the internet. Well, let me tell you - there are thousands!!!

After browsing through the various search results for over an hour, I came to the conclusion. There are so many Eric Chong's out there that I believe any type of search for any one 'Eric Chong" would become very time consuming indeed.

In business, we like to talk about product differentiation. "Don't sell the same thing in the same way as everybody else does," many business gurus often say. Taking this advice to heart, I have decided to avoid being confused with all the other 'Eric Chongs' in the world and simply call myself "Erican Chong" on the greater blogger sphere.

Naturally, this is only for the purposes of the blog. If you're a student of Erican, please don't ask for an appointment with Erican Chong. 'Eric Chong', I believe in most non-web circumstances will still be more than suitable.

Best of luck and keep going beyond limits!

    I was once your student. Now I am a school teacher. Thank you for all that you did for me. Erican Language Centre is a good centre indeed. I will recommend it to all my students. I mean it and will do it. Keep up the good work. I like your blog title: Musings with Erican Chong. Your new name is cool. :)

In Memoriam - Mr Yong Yoke

Mr. Yong celebrating with a student in 2005 Last week, I received news that one of my long-serving centre managers of Erican Kepong, Mr. Yong, was suffering from cancer. Mr. Yong was not just a good colleague, he was a good friend of mine. Upon hearing this news, I said to myself, "I must pay Mr. Yong a visit as soon as possible." Earlier today, I had a meeting with another colleague of mine from Erican Kepong, Ms. Soo Ken. She told me about how Mr. Yong had found out that he had pancreatic cancer just a few weeks ago and how fast he had been deteriorating ever since. I immediately detected a sense of urgency and I decided not to procrastinate any longer. As today was Friday, I said to Soo Ken, "Let's visit Mr Yong as soon as I return from traveling next Monday. We'll pray for him and give him our best wishes." However, just moments ago... I received news from Soo Ken that Mr. Yong had passed away. I was very saddened. I was saddened because I had delayed my

What is your Dad?

I am not an admirer of Robert Kiyosaki. I actually once thought I’d become a fan of this guru of investment, but after reading his book, I knew I never would be. While I can’t argue with his financial philosophy, I have a great deal of difficulty swallowing the title of his book that propelled him into worldwide fame – “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”. In this book, Robert Kiyosaki talked candidly about his two 'dads'. First, he talked about his biological dad. His biological father was a government employee who served the Hawaii Education Department faithfully his whole life. However, as his father did not retire as a person of high net worth, Robert called his birth father, 'Poor Dad'. The other 'dad' that Robert referred to in his book was an investor who used his financial finesse to earn a passive income and led a wealthy life. Robert described himself as becoming close to this mysterious man and regarding him as a fatherly figure. Due to his financial prowess, this ma
