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 …

I've lost my center. I've lost my pillar of support, my pillar of strength. I'm off-balance now. My mind is in a dark place now. I don't want to go there. It is a familiar place. I don't want to go there again. Revisiting it brings some cold comfort but it is a dark place with dark thoughts. I don't want to visit again. I've been here. It is a place where depression …

I was watching "The Grid" over the weekend and there were a few revelations, at least for me. The first and foremost revelation cleared a constant nuance that I always felt. "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." A pronouncement made famous by Lord Acton. I had never agreed with the statement totally. I always thought that the statement was too …

It was a long Thursday. Had 4 meetings and the last one ended at 8.43pm. I dragged my tired body to the nearest bus-stop while contemplating if I should save time instead of money by taking a cab instead. When an empty taxi appeared in the distance, there was a sudden flurry of people trying to get ahead of each other to flag down the cab. I'm not one who is overtly …

I was itching for a drink. I think a drink is much better than the contemplation of suicide. Anyway, as I was out of Sprite, I had to come out with a new concoction for my Grey Goose Vodka. The other time I tried it on the rocks, I didn't really like it. I didn't like it plain.This time, without Sprite, I decided to mix the vodka with instant coffee instead. Not wanting …

My friend asked me to recommend her some songs which are in my playlist.I told her, "Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol and Collide by Howie Day.""You trying to tell me something?" She glared and pouted, "Chase cars then collide?"Oops. :p

Continued from The Art Of The Start: Part 1Probably like many budding entrepreneurs, when I had my idea, my heart was filled with excitement. I thought my idea was simply brilliant and there was no way I was gonna fail. It did not help that I had my first successful deal at my first attempt even before I officially started my business venture. I really thought I was gonna …

In the Septemeber issue of Business 2.0 magazine, there was an article "The Road Warrior's Guide to Travel". In total 12 cities were featured and they were Bangalore, Barcelona, Finland, Hong Kong, London, Seoul, Shanghai, Singapore, Stockholm, Tallinn, Tel Aviv and Tokyo. I was glad to see Singapore featured as one of the wired-city (click on the image below for the …

I used to feel overwhelmed by work and my mind feels bloated all the time. There were just so many things I need to remember and do. Sometimes, new ideas will just pop into my head and I hold them in my mind, shelving it to a corner of my mind so that I'll think deeper about its practicality when I have time. Because my mind feel stuffed to overflowing capacity, physically …

I have not been thinking. I thought I had been but actually I've not really been thinking. I don't know when it started. Everyday, I'm buried under piles of work, thousands of emails to reply, deadlines to meet, the repetitive routine and of course, the daily fire-fighting.Sometimes, when a new idea struck me, I'll just keep it in my mind and usually I'll forget and let …
