I think it's okay to cry now. After all, yesterday I spent my final night sleeping in a place I've called my own for the last 25 years! After a quarter of a century, my wife and I finally bid farewell this week to our matrimonial home to move on with our teens to the … Continue reading My Last Night In My Home of 25 Years
Gosh! I just realized that it's been nearly two years since my last film review! If readers didn't know better, they would think I've stopped watching films for just as long. That's untrue of course. I've kept up with a good amount of watching films and TV series in all this time. I just never … Continue reading Film Review — How To Make Millions Before Grandma Dies
When it comes to getting my attention this new year, I want to make one thing absolutely clear. Right from the get-go. This year, I refuse to give more than a single minute of my attention to larger-than-life, supremely arrogant, deeply polarising, and morally reprehensible characters like Trump and Musk. You see, the fact isn't … Continue reading Where Should We Place Our Attention This Year?
Let me state upfront in this new year I'm well aware titling this blog post entry the way I did might come across as insensitive. Cos, after two weeks, the ravages of the recent California fires are still being felt in America. But the "fired up" analogy does capture to a large degree my thoughts … Continue reading All fired up for more opportunities this new year!

Earlier this week during one breakfast, while munching on a huge croissant stuffed with mushrooms, I suddenly had an 'un-messy' thought. What if I just ate it over our kitchen sink instead? Much easier than being cautious to avoid messing up the dining table. It was my way of avoiding a messy meal. And maximising … Continue reading My “Messy” Musing This Week, Thanks To A Croissant
Since ending my adjunct teaching duties last week, I found myself jumping back this week into meetings with different folks. Each time involving conversations that connect me to less academic stuff and more real-world ones. Increasingly I see these conversations as fuel for my creative thinking and writing. They provide content for me to muse … Continue reading Knowledge Conversations + Writing = Knowledge Work
Recently I wrote what was to be a two-part letter to my younger self, in response to a radio talk show I was invited to speak on (the segment was aired on national radio last evening). This is Part 2 of that letter (click here for Part 1). My Letter to "Mini-Me" (Part 2/2) Photo … Continue reading A Letter To My Younger Self #2/2
