His has a few unforgettable Magic Moments throughout his business journey: - Pulling through a 1-week Plant Exhibition Fair with his business partner - Ng Wei Loong in Johor in 2024, where only the two of them had to unload the plants from 4 container lorries and spread them over a 1000sqrft exhibition booth space, because of their employees who did not turn up at the last minute. This has made them stronger and believe that Nothing Is Impossible. Another Magical Moment was the unexpected high demand from the online orders during the pandemic lockown, which has helped to increase their followers and popularity, and they were well-known as the first online plant seller in Malaysia. Last but not least is their first landscaping project where they did it by learning from YouTube, and that first attempt has brought in many established customers.
