Dance like no one's watching

Watched Insurgent tonight. The factions remind me of of this management course I took before on conflict resolution.  Dauntless = Competing Abegation = Accommodating Candour = Compromising Erudite = Collabrating Amity = Avoiding Ok, maybe one might swop around Accommodating and Compromising but that’s not the point. The point is that no one faction / […]

Sometimes I wonder why do people make such a big deal about counting down to a new year. From 31 Dec to 1 Jan, it’s just a difference of 24 hours – how much difference could it make in life? It is really no difference from the passing of any 1 day into the next. […]

It’s been a rather manic December with colleagues going on leave & some China deals closing. I’m guessing it’s a end-of-year thing as Facebook has been showing a recap of posts made a year back. One of the photos I saw was that of nurses singing Christmas carols at CGH when I went to visit […]

Deborah Szekely, one of my favourite WCS teachers shared this on FB. I like it a lot. —————- People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. When you figure out which it is, you know exactly what to do. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is […]

So… my secondary school’s going to be torn down and rebuilt and I see tons of posts on the KC FB group reminiscing about the school. Unfortunately, I don’t have much attachment to the school. Sure, my closest friend remains a classmate of mine from Sec 1 but we’ve both been excluded from all class […]

Friends and colleagues have been asking me how was my London/ Paris trip and how was it like to meet up with my London colleagues. I have so far always hesitated before saying, “not bad” and that’s cos I haven’t been able to verbalise the mixed feelings I had within me. Meeting up with the […]

Been hearing a good friend, a colleague and 2 underwriters talk about Tinder so I decided see for myself, what’s the deal about it. After 24h on Tinder, I can confirm that: 1. There are more men than women (I ran out of women to look at!) 2. Women have better profile pics. 3. People […]

The older i get, the more the term “opportunity cost” hits home. I’m acutely aware that for every choice i make, i lose something at the same time. For e.g., everytime i choose to go dancing instead of visiting Pinky, i lose a couple of hours i could be with him, and i’m fully aware […]

People who don’t do things wholeheartedly irritate me. To me, if I choose to do something, I’ll go all out to do it. If I’m not convicted to do something, I won’t proceed at all. And this applies to everything – not just at work but also on Sundays when I’m on duty for service. […]

My 35th birthday has come & gone in a flash. A couple of months back, I was kind of hung up over it – 35 years old – that’s like the age that tells what the rest of your life will be. Your career path’s probably fixed, are you the family type, etc. Even the […]
