If you have been following Dawn Yang's blog like I do (or perhaps stalking it if you're too shy to admit it), you would have noticed that she recently did an advertorial for www.designluxurybrands.com, which - wait for it - happens to be an online scam site!It appears to be a cheap copy of the site www.designerluxury.com. Pages like "Testimonials" have been ripped off the …

Useless office email banter, important proposals, helpdesk queries, MSN conversations - we function like …

We had just closed a deal that would demand our attention so much more than anything I've closed in the past 2 years, and in the midst of all that I had to prepare for our Country Managers' Summit 2011.

The dog's name is Truffles (originally Waffles, but more on that later). Truffles is an English Cocker Spaniel puppy, and the start of a not-so-complicated story. Truffles at 4 months (thanks Tim for the photos and … 
Back in college I had to complete a compulsory module which I thought was a complete waste of time - Management. I didn't see the merits of having to theorize something so practical.
