I’ve got a neat little tip here on thinking about efficiency. Here’s a question for you: When can the slowest, be the fastest? It’s when being “slow” in one area allows you to achieve significant speed gains in another, creating an overall increase in efficiency. Allow me to explain. As you may know, I’m currently...

Every once in a while
I'd get a sudden feeling of hope of a better future. As if it was now that the life I was living Would start more closely resembling The life I was dreaming of. But like the ghosts of people past, These feelings fade, Leaving me only with the knowledge That they had once existed And... Continue Reading →
Returned from Indo
I just came back from Indonesia two days ago, on a one-week trip with the fiancee. Would love to write more about it (and there's really so much to write about it!) but I haven't quite got the time (the backlog of work's just staggering) and most of the photos I'd like to share are...

Inception
I just had a dream that was unbelievably like the dreamscapes in the movie Inception (a great show, by the way). Unfortunately, other than the fact that I woke up thinking that it was much like the movie, I cannot remember many more details except: I saw a woman handcuffing herself to a man (both...

The Marriage Proposal… One Year On
Last Saturday the fiancee and I went to East Coast Park (ECP) to celebrate our first year since I proposed. Originally planning on going to Sentosa via cable car to relive the proposal, we decided against it in the end. Among other reasons (truth-be-told, there was only one), it was because it was too expensive... Continue Reading →
The Beggar Woman at Tampines Mall
Yesterday, just as I was about to cross the street near Tampines Mall (a very pedestrian-heavy intersection between the Tampines MRT station and Tampines Mall), a slightly oldish-looking woman, possibly between 45 and 55, grabbed my arm and asked me (in surprisingly decent English) for $5. Stunned more than anything else, my immediate reaction was... Continue Reading →
Missing Entrepreneurship
I went out with Zixuan a couple of days ago. It was the first time we were meeting for a little over a month but, it seemed hardly a day passed since we last saw each other. Nothing much had changed, except perhaps his greater immersion into the world of entrepreneurship. It was with some... Continue Reading →
Aftershock
I just finished watching the Chinese movie Aftershock with the wife-to-be. It's deliciously sob-worthy (I did drop a tear or two in parts), and was overall quite an enjoyable show. The only pity is that this story had the potential to be so much sadder. The family-orientation(?) probably meant that the show was to be... Continue Reading →
Self Improvement
I've gotten weary of self-improvement literature. I'm not sure when it happened or how; or if it's a temporary thing (as so many times it has been in my life) or not; but if I had to read one more list of "things you can do to improve your life" I think I'll puke. Once... Continue Reading →
Happiness — a state of mind.
It's been a week since I completed my two-week in-camp-training (ICT) stint. For those two weeks, I complained to everyone who would listen how much I disliked it, and how I couldn't wait for "normal" life to resume. I can imagine how stupid I'd sound if I said now how much I missed those two... Continue Reading →
