Pressed, Squished, Stressed, Tired but Happy.
Its 1am and I’ve just got home after a 30 mins walk, lugging a tent from a friend’s place in Pasir Ris. Tired, yet with pressing things to do by… erm… yesterday.
Not exactly a nice feeling. But I’m glad I’m not on the other extreme (i.e. have nothing to do).
Looks like its going [...]
Marriage Preparation Course
PX and I have recently been attending a marriage preparation course at Daybreak FSC.
Today (just now) was the second session of four. Today’s session made me re-realise the subtle things that PX and I interpret differently, and how these could be potentially growth areas for our marriage. It was fun, yet enlightening.

Small is the New Big – Book 8 of 50
Its tough to read Small Is the New Big.

I was reading some of my old journal entries. Its interesting to realise how much [...]
Full Force in Malaysia
I’m now at KL Sentral in Malaysia.
Seems like business is now full force in Malaysia – going to have to come here in 2 weeks again to meet up with my clients, and then after that once a month, minimum.
To be frank, I don’t really like having to hop around Coffee bean, Starbucks and MacDonalds [...]
Crafting and Sticking to a Routine
Inspired by Stephen Pierce’s book on the Secrets to Creating Wealth, I have set up a routine for me to follow for a full day, 3 days a week.
It involves waking up earlier than I ususally do, working out before the day starts, eating the right things at the right time, working 6 laps of [...]
