Ahem, disregarding the highly suggestive title of this post… I’m going to tell you how to suck and still be on top…in a personal development sort of way. Only. I got this idea from reading Death by risk-aversion on the always good Creating Passionate Users. While Kathy talks about risk aversion in the state of [...]

As I wrap up my 7 Days of Gratitude challenge, I’m grateful for one more thing; thanks Paiboon, for your ‘My Treasure Box‘ post, explaining just what I wanted to accomplish by doing this! I came across the idea of magical moments some time ago. We all have magical moments in our lives, that’s undoubtable. The [...]

Today I met up with an old schoolmate of mine, we’ve known each other for nearly 9 years now and he’s one of the best friends I have. We went to the Esplanade roof-top, a cultural building just besides the river. And as we both laid there on the wooden floor, just lazing and gazing up [...]

Today is my brother’s birthday, and since I was staying at home, I got to watch my home lovingly prepare a wonderful dinner and cake for him. I really love my mom. She works so hard to take care of everything in the house so that the rest of us can do what we do. I don’t [...]

This 7 Days of Gratitude is going places I never imagined. I’m typing this as it just happened, a few minutes ago. I was on my way home from the neighbourhood gym when I saw a downed motorcycle at the traffic light. I saw a few people rush over to help and so did I, and [...]
