Day 3 began nicely. I arrived at the club early enough to catch captains Annika Sorenstam and Se Ri Pak tee off at the first hole. Before that I was videoing and photographing all the players at the driving range, so by the time I arrived at the hole there was a sizeable crowd in …
Month: November 2008
**The action** The [Lexus Cup](http://www.lexuscup.com/) is back in Singapore, and finally it’s come to my club, so I no longer am a second-class member of the audience who has to arrive by shuttle, wait in line to pay for food and sweat in the sun while watching people in VIP tents sip beer in air-conditioned …
Earlier this week, I had a strange dream. I dreamt that I and a group of classmates were sightseeing in another country. Being a dream, I did not know the name of the country but it felt like a more exotic Asian country, bustling with nightlife and low-lying shophouses. As we walked down the street …
While preparing my Organisational Behaviour presentation on stereotypes, myths and truths about our respective countries, I found myself collating more negative than positive points about being Singaporean. Actually, my groupmates and I took turns to talk about pros and cons of each of our countries, so we would have a balanced view. Still, my slide …
This month, I received two marriage proposals: The first, in jest from a classmate who’s attached and was just very happy that I arranged an on-campus massage service which was most satisfactory. (I was also called other highly complimentary names by female classmates whose stress was relieved by the massages). The second, from another classmate …
Apologies for not blogging as much. I was horrified to see, prior to this, that my home page had only one post because everything else has been archived. Efforts have been channeled to the INSEAD blog, and even then I am running out of time and things to say. My thoughts for the past few …
I attended a former classmate’s wedding bash and asked to meet the lucky man who was now her husband, to offer him my congratulations. She told me it was good to meet him because he was also a headhunter. True, even though I wasn’t desperate for a job it would be good to make first …
I knew McCain was a dashing Navy officer, heavily decorated for his service including his time as a Prisoner of War (POW). I learnt from [this Arizona news website](http://www.azcentral.com/news/election/mccain/articles/2007/03/01/20070301mccainbio-chapter5.html) that: He was married to his first wife Carol for 14 years, but they grew apart. He admitted to extramarital affairs. Finally he met his future …
Good stuff! Even though McCain’s probably going to lose the election, he is able to carry off a lot of funny lines. Obama won’t get me roaring with laughter, but when McCain’s more his maverick self he can be likeable. This is a side of him that the electorate didn’t see enough of during this …
Amusing. What’s got me curious is how easily one can call up Palin’s assistant. And surely there must’ve been some disbelief that French President Nicolas Sarkozy would call up Palin, but then again the repercussions of dismissing the real McCoy would’ve been worse. So Palin takes the call, warms up to his compliments, and then …
