Sorry for the lack of updates. Even though I don't blog prolifically but not blogging for 6 days straight is really rare for me. Well, things are not going smoothly at the moment. I'm drowning in an ocean of work (what's new?) and suffering from the most cursed Murphy's law: What will go wrong, will go wrong.It all started from last Thursday. While I was printing out an …

Yesterday, when my entrepreneur friend, KL, called me to meet up, I jumped at the opportunity. After being imprisoned in front of the PC for 4 days, I really had it. I dislike being cooped up in the office for days just preparing documents and replying to emails. Instead of being a paper-pusher, using modern technology, I became a button-presser. Sorry for being cynical, …

I fetch my 3-year old son from his childcare centre after work. That day, instead of walking, my son asked me to carry him home. I usually obliged as I understand that he is feeling vulnerable and jealous as he sees that his younger brother is being carried most of the time. I usually obliged also beceause there'll be a time when he'll be too big and heavy for me to carry. …

Why I don't have a car yet? Because I prefer to have $100k in my bank account after 10 years! If I can pay for a $70k car by 10 years loan. That would also mean that if I save the money from the loan, petrol, car insurance, maintenace, it would likely amount to $100k in 10 years time! That would mean a likely savings of $10k per year.If you buy a car, after 10 years, it …

Met up with a local very branded company who was interested in our product. We were very excited that they were interested in our product. We looked forward to the meeting but when it ended, it left us a very bad taste.Throughout the meeting, they kept thumping their chests emphasising how well-known and branded they are. Granted, they are not just famous locally, they are …

I've decided to indulge myself. I've realised what I've achieved and have now maybe lost in a whim. This can be due to forces not controlled by myself. Normally, I don't spend extravagantly. Previously, I can agonise over a month just deciding whether to buy a pair of jeans that cost $250.I remember my dad. He worked very hard but he seldoms rest or indulge himself …

It was a, no, make it 3 signs that I should watch "Singapore Dreaming". In a short week, while I was undecided whether to watch the movie, I chanced upon the blogs by Whisper, Venitha and Kitana all urging me to watch the movie. So on a Monday when I normally have private time with my wife over lunch and coffee, we decided to support the locally produced film instead.It …

If you feel down, maybe you would like to read the story of Train Man. Hopefully, nothing a beautiful romance story can't cure.

The declining birthrate is caused by cultural change as a society becomes more urbanised and developed. To solve the problem, we may need to tackle it with a cultural shift whereby family and career can be both encouraged!

The world is facing the problem of population aging. This problem is not uniquely Singapore (sic). It is a natural phenomenon occuring more acutely in developed countries. We may have given too much credit to the government's "two is enough" policy.

After posting about a coporate junk about two months back, I thought that was the only junk that I'll get. At this rate, maybe I can start a new blog collating all the corporate junk everyone receives (worth a thought!).
