I felt I tended to be more anecdotal in explaining a certain trend, compared to the others….
I am honoured to be speaking as a panelist at [Ogilvy’s Verge digital summit](http://www.the-open-room.com/verge-the-ogilvy-digital-summit/) in Singapore today at CHIJMES. It will be quite exciting. [As with Yuhui](http://www.the-open-room.com/verge-the-ogilvy-digital-summit/#comment-8), I’d really like to see representatives from the three Internet giants – Microsoft, Google and Yahoo! – all in one panel. I know all my esteemed fellow panelists…

I attended the church wedding of Shawn and Jean in the morning, followed by dinner in the evening. Having known the couple for 10 years, I was very happy to see them finally tie the knot. They are really nice, decent people and truly deserve each other. I also met many seniors from the University…
I was told that Ong Sor Fern wrote an opinion piece in the Straits Times (our national newspaper) today on how she never reads blogs but ‘only published formats: newspapers, magazines and books’. This statement has been met with amusement among those of us in the Social Media group. I think Ivan and Siva have…
To the day, it’s been 8 months since the Youth Advolution for Health (YAH) blog was officially launched. I don’t think I know most of the youths who contribute to the blog, since anyone who is interested in promoting health among youth is allowed to sign up and post something. There were no restrictions on…
