With this specification, I can probably look back on my life thus far and identify a few flow moments. When I was a consultant before my major career switch five years ago, I used to give training workshops and facilitate focused group discussions for the senior officers of my clients...
Today is Deepavali. We will never forget last year’s Deepavali when we started our trip stuck behind four and half hours of traffic jam crawling from Singapore to Malaysia. I put my bladder to the ultimate test. Since then, we have not driven to Malaysia. According to local news, earl...
In “Aleph”, the 59 years old Paulo Coelho has taken a trip on the Trans-Siberian Railway to meet his readers across Russia. During his journey, a 21 years old Turkish girl Hilal has insisted to travel with Paulo and his team of editor, distributor, and translator. Coelho (who is marri...
I don’t think it has anything to do with aging (I hope). It was a pretty hectic week at work. In some instances, you can almost measure how overloaded one is by observing the number of mistakes one begins to make. I read the showtime of 17:30 as 7.30pm, which was obviously wrong. Satu...
How many of us end up spending the rest of our lives with our school day sweethearts? Do you remember the time when love was so awkward, so childish? We kept on reading and sending the signals wrongly, but yet our puppy love affair appeared to be at the center of our universe, all tha...
Snippet Of My Life Episode 33 – How Have You Been? October 5th, 2011 by Wilfrid There are so many words I want to write. So many ideas stuck inside that my head figuratively exploded in my bathroom this evening, while I was showering. Instead of putting shampoo onto my hair, I used sh...
I have been collecting Ayumi’s concert recording for years. Each time I would think to myself: there is no way she can top that. And she tops her performance time and time again. Imagine a concert with a massive stage that extends deep into the audience, giant screens that blend the v...
10 years ago, I worked in the island of Mauritius. While it is a great place for honeymooners, it can be a rather depressing location for the expats. It is because the infrastructure in the country as a whole supports the tourist industry more than the community of foreigners who work...
For some strange reasons, my public life as you can see here is so full of movies these days. I can assure you that my passion lies in a sea of ocean, including tracking that lost penguin on a daily basis. Poor Happy Feet. We have not heard from him since September 8. Fairy tales exis...
The Hanged Man (Spanish Title: El Juego Del Ahorcado) September 11th, 2011 by Wilfrid As we left the Shaw Lido cinema after the omy.com movie premiere event , I have spotted a huge poster that I could not take my eyes away from. It is a Spanish movie. What a coincidence. In our last S...
Cynthia was pretty hyped up about “Crazy, Stupid, Love”. TK went along with the romance comedy wagon. I am a huge fan of romance comedy films. Except, I think, “Crazy, Stupid, Love” is more like a drama of romance than a comedy. Most bits are rather real, rather sad. The 40-year-old v...
Tak Tak was ten years old. And he passed away yesterday’s morning in Hong Kong, in the loving arms of my parents. The news has darkened my day, no doubt. But the emotional impact is nowhere near to what my sister and parents have experienced. On that very morning, my sister flew back ...
