Read about TwittEarth from techcrunch and went ahead to playing around it and got the following screenshot for posterity (I'm the one with the word balloon):Quite a cool visualisation. Yeap, when I twit, our half of the earth sphere is in darkness as it is at night now. Wouldn't it be cool if more Singaporeans are twitting now using twittearth? Then we'll see a group of …

My friend related to me a story about her boss (a very capable and successful entrepreneur at that). Her boss used to have an open door policy so the staff can discuss with him any issues any time. However, recently, the practice was changed. Now, the staff will need to make an appointment with his secretary before a meeting can be arranged. He explained to the staff …

In general, I'm a very private person and I don't seek the limelight. However, this time, I was asked to express my opinion on a subject which my business is involved in. I plucked up …

There is an award ceremony that I've attended for the past 3 years.  I couldn't say that I enjoyed going but I've to for the sake of appearances.  I guess I don't enjoy events like these e …

After I've blogged about "Have I Made It?" entry and have come to peace with what I have, heaven seems to enjoy taunting me and testing my conviction.Just about a week ago, a very good friend of mine whom I've not met for close to 3 months (we used to meet at least once a month for lunch) texted me and arranged for a guys' night out (meet for drinks only lah, nothing wilder …

Another night of working late. Unlike the other night, tonight I was not overwhelmed by a rush of emotions and memory. I think I am now clearer and understood what really went through my mind the other night. It was a while since I slogged late through the night but there was a familiar feeling of staring into the LCD screen in the night again. There were many nights …

Just about a week ago, I've finally decided to switch my mobile phone from silent mode back to ring mode. Prior to this, my phone has been in silent mode for the past 3 to 4 years.
