Today, although I haven't spent much time in front of my laptop doing 'real work', I considered it time well spent. I met up with two boys from my junior college for lunch. Vincent started his own web solutions company. Willie started his own film production company. That said, Willie shared with me some stories of him starting out, the stage I see myself at right now. Then … 
Hello! I've disappeared and now I'm back! Some random happenings here - I'm watching Rain Man as I am typing this. It's my 4th time seeing the movie but still so good. When I was in my tween years, my parents talked about "good old movies" or "good old music" like Elton John etc. I used to roll my eyes like crazy. There are so many bad movies being made these days that I love … 
In the midst of surprises and excitement, some of us do what we do best...cam-whoring. There's more but some are rather censored. 
I've been trying so hard to regulate my sleep hours. It went a bit insane again, sleeping at 7am and getting up at 3pm. The thing is, it's so easy to get carried away with whatever you're doing. This is not the way I want to live my life because I always, always wake up feeling lethargic. I've been successful in sleeping by 2am and getting up between 9 to 10 am these few … 
What do you do for energy and inspiration? I usually turn to sports but because I've been pretty sick of late (caught a bad-ass cold), I need to stay away from working out so I was thinking through what gives both energy & inspiration. Here's a list. Reading a good book while sipping pipping hot tea Taking a walk at Macritchie Reservoir Cleaning my work table … 
What a hectic day. I budgeted 3.5 hours to create 5 new products. In the end, it took me 4 whole hours to make 3 products, out of which, only 1 works! I feel like I am swimming against currents today. Good thing Bryan popped by my place. We had dinner with my family and had a few rounds of Monopoly Deal, which I am really addicted to at this moment. It's simple nights like … 
On day two, we spent a good part of morning taking turns to reply e-mails for our business and lazing about by the pool. We were feeling adventurous so we rented bicycles at 150B ($6.40) each. We cycled around Ao Nang and past the area meant for tourists, to their local market. It's nothing like Chatukchat but it's more like a wet market, with some street food, clothes and … 
I don't read the newspapers and I'm not that in-touch with current affairs. That said, I do kind of know what's happening around the world, thanks to my bad habit of reading other people's newspaper on the train. My parents have the habit of spending at least 2 hours a day reading the papers over coffee. Over the years, I questioned if my few good reasons as to why I don't … 
It's a rainy and cold Sunday. Today, my work place is at Bryan's place alone. He has gone to off to camp. His parents were out. I'm here, getting some work done while sipping a cup of tea. It's quite a nice feeling to be working from a home that's familiar, yet not my home. How's your weekend? 
There's something very heartwarming about these photos. I'm not sure if these are from a film, music video or a movie...but I think there're many ways to interpret this love story, isn't it? I wonder, if my life's random snapshots are laid in front of me in a scattered pile, I wonder if I'm able to arrange them in order. I wonder too, how I'll interpret them. {images from …
Hi, I thought I'd start a new blog to document my life in Hong Kong because I realized the "labels" are a lil messy. I want to own just one journal for my life in Hong Kong. I'm so sorry but I got to ask you to update your RSS feed. Here's my new blog - http://dimsum-monkey .blogspot.com/ Cheers!
There's always something going on in Hong Kong. When I first arrived, I saw a man being pinned down on the floor at the MTR. He was accused of molestation and he was peeing in his pants. No kidding. At work, during lunch hour, there's always some protestors outside the government house at Central, throwing insults at both the government and the banks. At home, there's …
I want to get to know winter more. Besides eating heck a lot and trying not to get out from my warm duvet, I'm not clear what else I'm motivated to do in my spare hours. I've been feeling really inactive but I hate running in the chilly cold winter wind. Normally, tightening those shoe-laces excites me. I don't even have the motivation to walk to my gramp's place these …
It's been a week since the start of my new job in Hong Kong. I'll be spending the first 2 months like a good ol' student, taking classes and having exams. I've backpeddled in my career a bit to join a completely new industry and I really think it's great that my new company has such a good training program so that finance noobs like me could play catch up. I thought it's a …
I really need to document my 2011 adventure as everything's so fresh and new. On the 19 Jan, I flew to Hong Kong for the start of my adventure. It was a cold, windy Wednesday night. I knew I was frowning for most of my plane ride because there're so many uncertainties and I have so many questions that I don't have answers to. The next day, I was a mad man on a mission to … 
Bryan and I might have just figured out a way to optimize our time and resources in running Spotables and we were testing it out in the last few weeks. Bryan is very good with details and a very patient person, so he's our full time sales, customer service & production person. As for me, I'm not bad with spreadsheets (I've my whole life plan written in spreadsheets most …

I've spent the whole morning traveling for meetings with customers. I love meeting new people, asking about their lives. I love working on my little business. There're major, major reasons. Firstly, things are done just the way I like it. Secondly, there're no red tapes. So once upon a time, managing a project could mean sourcing for information from various departments, … 
...is the first place I set my eyes on. Now, that's one guy who won't settle for being ordinary. I've much respect for people like that.
