Let me introduce the most awesome group of team mates anyone could ever have! Not only are they my very good friends, but I also have the pleasure of working with them to bring this forum to all of you, each and every week;

and myself;

Here are the qualifications that will be used in the selection of each honoree. People that are selected will be recognized based on:

1. Acts of kindness that they show to their fellow man.

2. Must be willing to help others, and treat people in a kindly manner.

3. Have a good-hearted nature, and shows it through all that they do.

4. Must be a positive role model, and set a good example

5. Must be professional, avoids negativity, and promotes success through faith and hard work

So, if you know of anyone here at AdlandPro that are not necessarily "high profile" people per say, and that don't get the recognition that they deserve, let us know. We will be helping to get people recognized that should be *A SHINING STAR*. All nominations must be in by Saturday and please tell us why you believe the person deserves to be recognized.

Here is RINA'S bio;

Most of you or all of you would know me as Rina.  My full name is Rina Rishilah Rani A/P Antonio Manickvasagam Surendran.  I am 26 years old turning 27 this year.  I am from Penang, better known as the Pearl of Orient, an island that is part of Malaysia.  I come from a mixed parentage (my father is Indian & my mother is Chinese) and have been a Christian for my whole life.  I also have an open mind when it comes to other religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism & many others.

I grew up in a small family of 3 ~ my father, mother & me.  We are not rich neither poor but I would say we lived a normal life day by day.  I grew up musically inclined as my father was very much into music particularly singing.  He use to be a lead singer for a famous 80's band in Malaysia.  I find myself to be a positive cheerful excited person in my heart.  I just like being happy and love being positive and this is from me to you - changing your mindset to look at things brightly & positively can only bring you more good things than none.  I took my diploma in Secretarial @ the age of 18.  I have to say being a Secretary is not easy but I surely learned a lot out of my scope of work. 

My personal life is a challenging one.  I use to fight internally to make a stand to myself about who I am, what I can be & how big as a person I can be.  Its a battle that use to go on daily just trying to find ME.  In 2006, I met a special friend, Mr Ralph Ravindran (who has a big heart & mind), changed my life by stoping me at my tracks, turning my thinking 360 degrees around & made me realise that life is just too beautiful to waste on not appreciating oneself & others (in other words, STOP and smell the roses).  He then introduced me to his beautiful & amazing wife ~ Mrs Janet Ravindran, 2 adorable daughters ~ Anya & Leah & 2 doggies ~ Bono & Poopsie that is now a part of my life & I am a part of their FAMILY.
