While observing the interactions of different groups over the years, I have hit upon an answer as to why: 1. Some Asian parents provide a lot for their children but wonder why they are unable to bond with them (I know this isn’t in all cases but it’s happened in enough observations to warrant mention …
It has been a hectic month. You can tell from the number of recent posts (i.e. very few) on this blog. But today, something happened and it made all the effort worth it. A few weeks after a ‘project’ was over, I received news that a letter of commendation had been sent, from one overseas …
These are the thoughts that have been running through my head for the past couple of years. I’ve finally put them down. Think of a project or cause at work which you’re publicising or trying to sell to customers. Now, ask yourself: If you weren’t assigned to handle this portfolio; If your KPIs weren’t tied …

I’m rethinking how I want to live my life. Who i give my time to. What I will work for. Perhaps this holiday will help clear my mind. In a way it is the first real holiday with the same people I befriended before we set out on our respective career paths. It is like …
All’s well in London so far. It’s a bright sunny morning this Wednesday, which is a reprieve from the windy drizzle we had yesterday. Museum tally so far: British Museum and Victoria & Albert Museum. Today the plan is to head to Tate Modern. Visited Harrods but am not a very big shopper, which may …
The busyness of the past 2 months has caught up with me, and so I haven’t had much time to blog, although I should still be more active on [Twitter](http://twitter.com/vantan). But I had to ensure things were done before I embarked on what will be the biggest trip of the year. In a few hours’ …
