Follow your heart - Do Good!

29/07/13 :- Charity and doing good needs no reason, spread your love! 做慈善行好事无需理由,将爱心传递! This is the second time I'm shaving my hair for "Hair For Hope". I have friends asking me, "Why do you choose to do that?" or "Why Cancer Foundation? Was it because of your dad?" Do we really need a reason why we want to do charity? To me, I don't see the need to. I donate or help people who I feel worth my time or money. My sisters and I grow up in a big extended family, we love to share and do things for people around us. More than once, my sister told me whenever she changed to a new work environment, her colleagues would doubt her sincerity. She loves to give little stuff to colleagues, like making brownies for all her colleagues on V-day, giving thank you cards to all her colleagues after a school event. Same for me, the first year I entered SDC, I pack little goodies bags for Halloween and went to office early to paste it under the chairs of

First solo overseas trip!

17th - 22nd Jul 2013 An unplanned solo trip to Bangkok! (The trip to Bangkok was planned, going there alone was due to unforeseen circumstances.)   Together with my love, I set off for the Country of SMILES! I checked into All Season Bangkok Siam Hotel which was recommended by my friend. Quite a nice hotel, clean & accessible to BTS & shopping district.

As my flight was delayed and yet I reached there much earlier, I had plenty of time at the airport. So, I settled down at Starbucks and allowed my thoughts to flow... Don't ask me why, somehow when I held my pen to write my thoughts, only Chinese words came out. Yes, though Qiqi always said I'm a Cheena man, I always scribble my thoughts in English... This time, my hand & mind just took over everything.        一个人旅

Always have a backup plan!

  03/07/13 :- Always have a backup plan! 不怕一万,只怕万一,凡事都要做好准备!   I always deemed myself as a person with plans. My dad definitely was, he never leave anything to chance. If he has and know how to use a computer, he'd backup his backup disk.   Perhaps, I was too confident that all my Plan A would work; like how they did since the day I've learnt to set plans on my own.   Luck has been on my side for the past 30years, I never have to think about what if Plan A failed. Never do I need to worry about taking up Plan B, C, D, etc which I never have planned for in the 1st place.   They always say, "Failing to plan is planning to fail!" However, they missed out the 2nd part of the advice, "Always have a backup plan because Plan A can fail!"   All of a sudden, I felt lost as I was caught unprepared when Plan A failed.   Though I seemed like a strong and determined person to a few. However, even Superhero will feel tired, what more to
