She’s coming 20 months soon, with all the signs of a terrible two but still the sweetness of a baby. It hurts to discipline her, but parents do what they gotta do. Last weekend something struck me. It took 3 days to completely sink in, and will probably be a recurring thought in the next Continue...
Ill be speaking at a TEDx event in KL in a few weeks time. The event is unique as its one of the rare TEDx thats in Mandarin. Needless to say its a very challenging talk as the last time I did public speaking in Mandarin is probably 讲故事比赛 in primary school. Ive...
Found something fishy about my SD card, decided to give it a clean format with SDFormatter. What a decision! Earned 10GB! Before After Anyone with similar experiences?
This post is inspired by reading many accounts of Home (A Sense of Place) on the current issue of Stanfords Alumni Magazine (if youre interested). Yes. Turned 35. Started a family, started a company. Own a home, drive a car. Materially, other than the fact that Im still gambling a...
Heres what they call an Idiots Guide to using Dropbox, or I usually call Cook Book, written specially for my musician friends who after collaborating with me for years still find Dropbox hard to use. Step 1: Prepare to use Dropbox If anyone, whether it is me or your...
Recent events in my life greatly dampened my spirit, but Im not going to let it pull me down. Especially when I realise Im still so blessed to have many mentors in my life who cared for me even though I had more often than not been trouble to them. Still, the recent events made ...
Wow the mourning week has been getting more and more interesting by the day! Its Friday now and Ive just gotten out of the hall of Parliament House, still feeling slight regret that I did not have the heart to approach the coffin even though I didnt have to deal with barriers and ushers...
Todays a really unique day to be remembered. I felt I wouldnt do the day justice if I dont take my next hour writing this down for posterity. Some might remember this day as the Johor Sultans Coronation, but for most on the island, whether youre Singaporean, PR or...
Java, Indonesia Every time people ask me if Ive been to Indonesia the answer has been Bali (which feels like a different country), but now I think I can say Yes and share an authoritative experience. Cilegon is one of the most religious corners of Java. In most countries...
Never thought this would be useful to me some day http://business.singtel.com/coverage/ Finally theres Google maps version too: http://business.singtel.com/coverage/googlemaps/ Just missing some labels (like having to scroll around to know the cable name), and also the satellite coverage map!
First I want to thank everyone who has been supporting me in my startup life thus far. Although Im unable to share more publicly for now, I thought its important for you to have a feel on the things we are potentially working on, and following other peoples notes about the...
NY Resolutions time! 2014 First, lets look at 2014. In 2014 I gave myself 1 year to figure out if I can live a musicians life, specifically majoring in running a music tailoring business and minoring in trombone gigs. What happened? After closing my books for the year, my arrangement...
As a kid I chanced upon (or, depending on perspectives, my mum forced upon me) an interesting book that I deemed too adult to my liking I had and still have a liking of simpler things in live, including comics and children stories. Roald Dahls Going Solo left in impression that...
(Read Part 1, Part 2) Time always passes by quickly when were travelling to a new place. I spent 9 days in Shanghai like I spent 9 hours on a busy day in Singapore. There were lots of dead time in between things due to the lack of a concept called a schedule in both []
(Read Part 1) This is a prototype Bb/F plastic trombone, not for sale yet The conference got more exciting the following day and next, as more people started coming in. The second day was supposedly a trade visitor day, but quite a number of individuals signed up and came in anyway. After a leg...
I took a week off to travel to Shanghai to attend music CHINA, an expo under the same umbrella as Messe Frankfurt, one of the worlds largest music trade shows. The show has two sections, one is music the other is PROlight+sound, which is more a sound engineer heaven. The music side is predominantly...
So the inflexion point has happened. And honestly I was surprised by my emotional state. Ive just been given more equity in a new baby were putting together and with it, responsibilities. Normally people should be happy with more equity, but I suddenly felt a kind of burden that I was...
Is finally available officially! Thanks to everyone who has supported the piece, from Philwinds whove performed it years ago, folks at Retsel Mil Publishing who although warn of how difficult it is to secure publishing rights, allowed for this to go through, and everyone who has performed this piece...
Almost monthly, I hear this band playing this as they move the coffin and ready themselves to take the departed for a walk, before heading off to the crematory.
The following was a letter to a friend who didnt like doing administrative things in his life. You know the happiest thing about living alone, running a family or not, without parents? Admin. Its most time wasting thing, the lowest value and the most outsourceable thing in our lives, but doing...
