Getting the Juice of Creativity to Spill
2008-06-02 12:06:54
Had lunch with Ong at his residence. It had been a long time since we met.The best way to unleash the creativity juice is to really step out of the usual environment and to engage in a meaningful and constructive conversation. Recall when you had a conversation with someone and you just built an idea on top of an idea smoothly. Yes! That's the feeling I'm talking about.Ideas spurned out as we chat

In-Camp Training - A Waste of Time?
2008-06-14 12:38:08
My batch of NSmen were twice lucky with the changes implemented for National Service. First, NS was trimmed from 2.5 years to 2 years. Second, we had the in-camp training (ICT) reduced from a 13-year cycle to a 10-year one.After being operationally read for about 1.5 years, I received the SAF 100 call-up to ICT. The comfortable civilian lifestyle made me think of various reasons (excuses) to seek

26 June 2008These few days had been wonderful.Baohui cooked dinner for me and it tasted better than most restaurant food. The potato with salad sauce and bacon powder was addictive.I coached Baohui in Internet Marketing and to my amaze, she was keen to learn more about it.

My Style of Watching Soccer Tournaments
2008-06-30 01:37:08
I just don't feel right keeping quiet watching the moves of the players in the soccer field until they score and then let out a loud roar of "GOAL!" I would constantly ask questions to my Brother and then irritate him as he watched on with all his concentration.Euro 2008 ended with a little disappointment for both of us. We supported Germany since its superb performance back in World Cup 2006. The

16 July 2008After meeting Baohui, went to grab some bite before a late dinner. Had a $1 popiah at the coffeeshop right opposite Serangoon JC. Think the hard work and mental churning of ideas have increased my metabolic rate. Instead of buying half a steamed chicken for a bite, we went to the traditional grocery shop adjacent to the coffeeshop and bought Indomee instant noodles.Back in my army trai
