I realised how out I am of the “in-s” of the music world when recently, one of the coaches made a fantastic video for another coach’s birthday video. The music used struck a chord with me and I was totally hooked to the music! It was a technique of fusing various songs together, almost seamlessly, [...]

3 Idiots
Firstly, the title got my attention. I was told by one of the students that this is a must watch and riding on that suggestion, I rented the dvd at Ezy (good thing I am a member!) and this is probably the second Hindi movie that I picked up after Lagaan. Same actor, Mr Amir [...]
Mini me
Mini’s finally here!!! The whole anticipation, and now, it’s actually in my life! The whole AdvoGang went down to the showroom to get my cooper, it was amazing! Two cars to receive one, totally rocks! Thank you guys! The whole scenario built up to the point when all were pointing to a specific red cooper [...]
When she danced…
I have a student, who is pretty much on her own and somewhat unhurried, in her own pace, own zone when she’s in class. I always wondered, what makes her tick, and what drives her. I knew there was something within her, an alter ego, someone lively and bursting with energy. And I wanted to [...]
Chasing your Childhood Dreams
I read Randy Pausch’s last lecture a year ago, and recently, I revisted the last lecture he gave in his beloved university. He demonstrated his passion to pursue relentlessly on what he wanted and he’s determination to live his best life, even when he knew his time was up soon, hit me. We don’t know [...]
Q & A
I beg you… to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given you now, because you would not be able to live them. And [...]
What do you want?
“She sat down one day and wrote two versions of her obituary, the one that she wanted, a life of adventure, and the one that she was actually heading for – which was a nice, normal, pleasant, safe life, but it was not one where she wanted to be by the end of her life. [...]
Mojo in my life
One of the activity that I truly enjoy is reading and being a self-help freak, my liking tends to be in line with themes on self-development. Recently, I found myself moving away from individually based books to a broader, organizationally based books. I am very much inspired by Tony Hsieh and had picked up some [...]
When Push Comes to Shove
I was walking back from Goldhill to Novena Gardens when I notice the looooong queue just outside the Revenue House. It’s time of the year when all taxpayers’ time is due to pay their dues. The irony of it all is that, the infrastructure (waiting area, chairs, fans, computers etc) had been set up like [...]
Lesson from chem bonding
It’s pretty interesting how little life lessons were learnt during chemistry coaching. I was sharing about covalent bonding the other day. For those who are not familiar with the concept, basically, covalent bonding is formed between non metal atom and non metal atom when they share electrons. All atoms’ dream is to become stable. Now, [...]
Painful to watch
One of my students shared this link with me. And my my, it was too painful to watch! It amazes me what tickles the kids now. Well, if you have 10min 17 sec to spare, watch it at your own risk. “I will take full responsibility in my action to click on this link”. Anyhow, [...]
Work life Balance?
It’s been a grand trend in the working world to have Work Life balance. In the phrase itself, there already exist an imbalance. Firstly, there is a hidden meaning that work comes before life…otherwise, why doesn’t anyone say “Life Work Balance” (can be a mouthful yar?) ? Anyhow, today, I had a renewed comprehension on [...]
Taking Charge
I was having dinner with a friend recently, and I thought I saw a hall mate of mine at the next table. I was pretty bewildered, and unsure if she was the person I knew as she had grew laterally, considerably. My friend and I concluded that a trend was observed among our peers (ourselves [...]
Cooper’s dream
My dream car – the mini cooper. I had it on my dream board since last year. A red beauty with clean white stripes. Neat. And my goal is to zip around in town in my own mini this year. It’s amazing how the universe answers my call. A few days ago, my sis-in-law got [...]
Avatar rocks!
Yes, I finally caught Avatar on the third day of lunar new year! There must be a reason why 1) this film has been running for more than 2 months in the theatre, 2) tickets were sold out even till today (I didn’t mange to get any ticket on 16Feb10 at 1020am??) and 3) a [...]
Welcome Back Party
It was great having the graduating batch back at Advo. I miss them truly, their presence, their laughter, (their whinings, haha), and mostly, their energy. It felt kind of surreal when I was taking videos of them. It seemed like yesterday, when we were mugging for the Os! As the camera rolled to capture the [...]
Competition
I never fancied bowling and usually prefer something more “action” packed. My score from my first game at bowling long long ago was 19. Yeah, you can imagine how many times my ball mercilessly rolled into the gutter. I never saw the value behind the game. Recently, I began to join my team for bowling [...]
We are what we think…
…how about, we are what we eat? Caught an interesting independent film on Saturday – Food Matters, and once again, the issue of health presented itself point-blank at me. Good health is a fundamental concept. Who doesn’t want good health? Yet, it’s one area we all kinda shove it under the carpet of “no time [...]
Synergy in Action
This week, I was and am in love with this song “I Gotta Feeling” – by Black Eyed Peas. It’s a great song for me to start my day, lifting my energy and spirit as I stepped out of the house, knowing that Tonight’s Gonna Be Good Night (I sang it as Today’s gonna be [...]
