Most of my Sec 2 students have done well this year end. Scoring As, 2 to 3 grades jump. However, some of them did not get into the stream they want. Why?! Coz they didnt do well for the first half of the academic year. Apparently they were disappointed. It is funny how most human [...]

Speech gave by Bill Gates
Rule 1: Life is not fair – get use to it! Rule 2: The world won’t care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself. Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won’t be a vice-president with a [...]
Can you see beyond who you are now?
Last week, I managed to have quite a number of discussion with coaches and people I know and I noticed most of us are operating from our current reality which sets limitation for our growth and development. There are always inner struggles inside us to grow yet we are afraid for others to see our [...]
The Parent of Video
I have loss count of how many times I seen people mentioning about video they like or view on blog and entry; but seldom do they sit down and think about the origin of this amazing technology. Youtube can be considered as the one popularizing streaming video with their P2P business model. Indirectly ‘pay’ for [...]
Friends
Though I have always heard of the steamboat in Bugis, it was really the first time I went to eat it. It was with a bunch of college friends. We only knew each other when we entered university. But as we fought together and helped each other through the tough time, we became and remain [...]
Momentary lapse = long-term pain
Yesterday I had a birthday party. Today I came to work with a bandage on my palm. This is the story of how it happened. I ordered an ice-cream cake from Ben and Jerry’s, because I’ve never had ice-cream cake for my birthday. To prevent it from melting during the party, I put it in [...]

Advo应征Part 2
猜到了吧？当然是司机大哥，愿意帮我找找看。就这样我从velocity搭德士到 Novena Garden。Novena Garden这座楼的电梯也很特别，明明每一层有四的单位，可是每一台电梯只能抵达两个单位。就因为这样我人虽然到了Novena Garden ，我还是找不到 Advo。咳~已经快迟到了，我还进错了电梯！急急忙忙下，我又尝试进了另一个电梯，这下子我终于来到了Advo，指示牌显示要轻轻的把门推开，这个动作我反复做了几回，还是没把们推开，我还在想推开这个门，是不是除了轻轻推开， 还需要用力把门锁转向右边95.7 度？这时，对面单位的住户叫我尝试按门铃，可是按了门铃许久， 都没有人回应。没办法，我只好打电话向Advo的应征负责人求救，因为我真的没办法把门推开。原来还没有人在里面，门还是锁着的。所以，总的来说Advo的门并不难开。哈哈。 进了Advo的门，还不算进了Advo这个大家庭哦，后来我又是怎样加入的呢？
The clock continues to tick by…
That day I woke up at 8+ am. The lazy me took control and I decided to sleep for another few minutes before I get out of bed. At 9am, I sat on my bed and stare at the clock turning 9.00am. I should be getting out of my bed, yet I just feel like [...]
The Lees, the butler and a ball…
SRI Temasek is the official residence of the Prime Minister and when Mr Lee Kuan Yew assumed the post 50 years ago, he and his wife took their three young children there to play. The bungalow in the Istana is on high ground, and the ball their sons and daughter were playing with rolled down [...]

Some background info: The boy in the video is Todd Anderson, he’s a student at a posh private school and he’s very shy. His class have a new English teacher, Mr Keating, who works to [...]
Advo应征 Part 1
还记得我一次来Advo应征的时候，我已经来到Novena Mrt站，也在附近兜兜转转了几回 我还是找不到Novena Garden。在寻找的过程，我一共问了五个路人，Novena Garden的位置，结果没人能够回答我，让我一度怀疑Novena Garden 到底是不是在Novena Mrt站附近？如果在附近，怎连的Revenue House保安都不懂呢？时间紧迫，我马上跑回去Velocity搭德士 。才上车，我和德士姐姐说Novena Garden，她就善良的说她不确定叫我去问后面的德士。天啊！竟然连德士姐姐都不懂，当时真的是心跳加速，我都已经快要迟到了。上了后面的德士，那位司机大哥也和我摇摇头说不确定… 到底我是怎样抵达Advo的呢？下回揭晓。
how to ask for what u want + asking for feedback!
i am again reading Jack Canfield’s book at snail pace, & here is a little something to share, about Asking. Canfield mentioned that pple are often afraid to ask, as they’re afraid of hearing the word ‘no’, thereby rejecting themselves in advance even before anyone else has a chance to. he then shared some tips [...]
Let’s not wait for it to be painful . . .
Recently, I went back to my bikram practice. For those who are not familar with Bikram yoga, it is a sequence of static yoga postures done in a time frame of 90min – in a 40degC room. Yes, hot and humid. To many, it might seem crazy, but I particularly like it as the practice [...]
Imagine That
Yesterday, I caught Imagine That with one of the students. My takeback was the last words the successful business man told Eddie Murphy. It was something like “I like people who can make decision under pressure” Maybe these words doesnt make sense to you, let me give you some background info. The story goes like the [...]
Critical Period
O Levels and A Levels are coming. Every day, our center is full of people. And the place was noisy when a group of people gathered and talked together. Even though we have shifted to a bigger place, but it seemed like the space still not enough. Many students discussed about our AdvoCafe, some of [...]
Left only with less than 2 weeks… I dedicate this song to all O and A Level Students!

Products and services must go together
Last Saturday, I went to Orchard Cineleisure to watch (500) Days of Summer. Since my film was at 1pm, I decided to eat lunch in the Orchard area. First I went to Botak Jones at the Youth Park. I wasn’t even sure if they were open or not, because the employees didn’t seem interested in [...]
