I wrote 10 Things to Do to start a business in my previous blog. Opening a business bank account is one of the essentials to run a business. In Singapore, there are many banks to chose from. The most popular bank here is DBS Bank, we can see it's ATM everywhere in island-wide. Though, one of my business-owner-friends mentioned that she chose OCBC Bank, not DBS. When I was searching for the Bank info, I found a  useful website which contains a comparison chart of major three banks. Looking at this chart, I chose OCBC bank to minimize the fixed cost. After choosing a bank, these are 4 Steps what I did to open an account; Walked into one of the branches and asked the required documents for account opening Made an appointment with one of the business account representatives Visit a branch with required documents (IC/Cheque book for initial deposit) and had a interview with a representative Write a cheque for initial deposit That's all! Very simple. I was not...

But, one super blue moon night which was on February 1st this year,  I started to feel so excited about make my dream come true. I got up from my bed in the middle of the night and s...

It's been a while since my last blog. The reason is...my laptop had been stopped working!! Fortunately, I have a nice Singaporean neighbor who used to be a system engineer. Thanks to him, he repaired my kind-of-old laptop within a few days after I had passed it to him. Now it's faster to startup, and all the digital clutter has been cleaned up! Feeling very light and refreshed☺ I noticed that digital environment is crucial to our business speed, and having a good neighbor is a blessing. 約２週間ほど前、突然PCが起動しなくなってしまいました。 そろそろ買い替え時か？と思ったのですが、 近所にすんでいる元SEのシンガポーリアンに 起動しなくなったPCでも修理可能かきいたところ、 もちろん直せるからPCかしてごらん、と数日で直してくれました！ 持つべきものはよい隣人ですね❤ 御礼にいくらか払おうとしても受け取ってくれなかったので、 昨夜そのご夫妻にお寿司でお礼をさせていただきました。 このPC,起動スピードが遅いし電源コードの差込口がゆるんで時々充電できないし、 色々問題を抱えていたのですが、この隣人が解体して差込口まで直してくれて、 不要なファイルがなくなったせいか起動スピードも改善し、 最新アンチウィルスソフトまでダウンロードしてくれてかなり快適になりました♪ 親切な隣人がいて本当に助かりました。 Digital Security Tips: Setting a system password can prevent the hackers to break into your computer. Did you kn...

I love bridges. Since I was a young girl, I love crossing bridges, it's maybe because I grew up in a city with lots of beautiful rivers. I love discovering and exploring new world. I get excited when I cross the bridge, as another view is awaiting beyond the bridge. Bridge is to connect two separated areas. I love connecting people, something will happen when people are connected. I have been always wanted to be a bridge between different cultures, and I believe I have been doing this over the years without being aware of it. As the bridge is a symbol of my passion, I'm going to use it for my company logo. I can't wait to show it to you...!! 突然ですが、私は橋が好きです。 川が多い町で育ったせいか、小さい頃から橋を渡るのが大好き。 橋を渡った先には違う景色が待っているので、 橋を渡るときはいつもワクワクしてしまいます。 橋は隔てられた二つの地を結ぶ役割があります。 私は人と人をつなぐのが大好き。 人との出逢いで何かが生まれるからです。 なぜかわからないのですが、私は小さい頃から いつか異文化の橋渡しをしたいと思っていました。 そして実際に、海外に長く生活する中で、 自然とその役目を果たしてきたと思います。 昨日から会社のロゴデザインをしているのですが、 私のパッションを表すのにぴったりな「橋」を シンボルマークとして使用する予定です。 ...

Today, I would like to share the story of  "ACROS SG". I have been always searching for my life work, which I can make a difference in the world, something I can put all my ability and experience... And one day when I was crossing the border of Singapore and Malaysia, I got inspiration of my company's name, "ACROSS". I love this word, "ACROSS". People come  across  in our life changes our life. When we across the border, something will happen. I want to travel  across  the world before I die.  I want to help people to step  across  the boundary to expand their horizon. Also, I simply love the letter "A", which is the first Alphabet,  and my name, Acco, starts with "A" 😉 And I found that many big companies' name also start with "A", like Apple, Amazon, Alibaba... I am hoping that one day, my company grow big and give back to society. As the name of  "Across" was not ava...
