Dance like no one's watching

Praise the Lord! My 8th uncle has been discharged from hospital & is resting at home. It has been confirmed that my 4th uncle’s prostate gland issues are caused by an adverse reaction to some medication he’s taking. It’s not cancer. My 8th aunt seems to be recovering very well. Observed her walking around today […]

Found out from my mom the details of my 8th uncle’s mishap. He was moving his display cabinet last night when it fell on his foot. Shockingly, although his foot was bloodied & there was a loud crash, the glass display cabinet didn’t crack/break/shatter. My guess is that adrenaline kicked in because my uncle didn’t […]

What an eventful end to 2013. Found out earlier that my 8th uncle fractured his foot last night & is warded in Mt Elizabeth. This is in addition to an aunt who suffered a stoke 3 weeks ago, a cousin who just recovered from dengue fever & same cousin’s dad who was suspected of having […]

Looks like it’s going to be a busy last 2 days of 2013. Expecting to close a policy on Mon & another on Tue. The Tue deal unfortunately hasn’t gone as well as planned – may have to execute a “Plan B” & I was wondering why almost all my deals always run into problems. […]

My extended family always comes together a for Christmas gathering (usually lunch) though majority of the family are not believers. I can’t remember when it started but this has been the tradition for the last 10-11 years. I’ve never given our Christmas get-togethers much thought till this year when my 8th aunt suffered a stroke […]

Been a dramatic week. A single aunt who lives alone suffered a stroke while alone at home and how she was found was nothing short of a miracle. Story really starts last week when she told my cousin, B, that she wanted to buy a smartphone so that she can monitor her shares. She used […]

I can’t get over this conversation that i had with my friend’s girlfriend last night. I said the only thing that i’m not happy about Celine Dion is how she married her manager, wherein he divorced his wife for her. My friend’s girlfriend said she thinks there’s nothing wrong with that. In fact she said, […]

A couple of things I’ve been thinking of the last couple of days. Firstly, what makes a good broker? Is it someone who’s fantastic at admin work? At billing? At documentation? Or someone who is able to structure solutions to difficult risks and get insurers to underwrite the risks? Someone who’s good at client management? […]

Passed by an accident site on the way home last night. Was exiting PIE into Simei Rd when I saw the taxi in front of me stop and put on his hazard lights. As the taxi inched towards the right side of the road, I saw a motorcycle on its side and the biker on […]

Am typing this while on the Amtrak train from Philly to NYC. It was a great visit to Philly. Loved the visit to the Masonic temple and the Eastern State Penitentiary. Lovely city and I can’t wait to share my photos when I get back. One thing I observed was that the vagrants in NYC […]
