Many people have asked me how I’m finding motherhood. “Agreeable”, has always my wry answer. I was always a little careful not to enthuse or coo too much. I am not sure why. Maybe it’s thinking how many amongst us are single still, or married with no children, sometimes not by choice. Of course while [...]
This week is by far, one of the most intense and tiring yet. In several good ways for sure; new hires coming in forming what is our new team, successful pitches resulting in lucrative deals that unfortunately will require too many man-hours to deliver…and several more housekeeping duties that have been neglected too long. The [...]
There are always many great things Old people can teach us. I attribute this to the time they’ve spent on this earth. They appear to take on a kind of wisdom that somehow the younger of us, no matter how we philosophise, will not attain. Perchance with the proximity of ashes to ashes, dust to [...]
This is one of my worst fears, it’s way up there. Worse than the comtemplation of my own death. And someone I know is going through it right now. Many have written valiantly about raging against the night.  Do not go silently into the night, they say. This endeavour surely must demand of all our human [...]
I fell victim recently to the unfortunate predicament of having my long-time Yahoo email account hacked. First off, it’s embarrassing because an email requesting money was sent to all my contacts; purporting that I had been robbed and was left with nothing but an internet access from which I shall hoodwink all my friends into [...]

This is probably the most indulgent night I’ve had in a while. I am almost embarrassed to even blog about it but reminiscing about it still brings the corners of my lips into a whimsical curl so this is too good to pass on. I soaked in the tub tonight. A quarter-tub, really. I just [...]
In a world that seeks to put people in categories, how do we come to remember and realise our truest potential? The lasting effects of over-categorisation, those selection/deselection processes that dump us in folders according to capabilities, strengths, weaknesses, and all those things that we like to think makes us distinct from one another, often [...]
Something magical happens when you put a baby and a grandparent together. As in this video, we have 3 month-old Lucien who can hardly keep his head steady, suddenly showing immense talent as the dancing baby, taking flight in Ah Ma’s arms. Aren’t they having fun? Â
