Following on from Snapshot 0.08 and Snapshot 0.07 from 2021. Life is magical. We were meant to move to London in March 2023 and we now find ourselves in Singapore (of all places). Go figure. 😀 Countdown to #3 in October. Wow. A charmed life, full of serendipitous moments. A quick look back to 2021 […]
Snapshot 0.08
Note this was drafted in September 2021. We are now September 2023 and I’m publishing the unfinished draft. Following on from Snapshot 0.07. Impactable, this is the word that has been on my mind the past year. What are we doing that is truly impactable? Or are we spinning the wheels to feel busy yet […]
Unseen Progress
We have a false picture about how success happens. Because we often see only the results and almost never the process of things, we tend to think that the finished product—a book, the great product, being in shape, being wise—is impressive, and therefore the process by which that event was created must have been equally […]
Eating glass and staring into the abyss.
Yes the dark dark abyss. And as Nietzsche said “if you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back at you“. I started my ‘working’ life as an entrepreneur. Young, wild & starry eyed and filled with ignorance, oh, how little did I know about the world back then. Starting a company is like eating […]
Why do I write?
How many thoughts do we have in a day? Hundreds, thousands, millions? My guess is thousands double, maybe up to 6 figures? A quick search on the internet shows a range of 50,000 – 70,000 thoughts a day. That is why I love to write, it brings clarity of thought in writing. Writing does not […]
Dreamlist 2011
I stumbled upon this old note today. (I am currently doing a huge data consolidation.) This really brings back memories from 2011. I was in my mid 20s and had spent my first year in Bangkok. I had a challenging move from Singapore. I moved for the purpose to grow the business and my entrepreneurial […]
Expired suncreen
Please don’t use it. After applying expired sunscreen for over a month my body gave in. I am currently having a “fun” experience of (irritant?) contact dermitisis. My hands feel like they are on fire. My arms and leg’s only get itchy, mainly in the morning and at night. I have not had this of […]
Arising from the ashes
I’ve been here before. It’s a reminder, a lesson that I did not fully embrace. It’s not 100% the same but there is a broad theme that is familiar. It happened in Jan 2015, when I had the mysterious year of ups and downs with my health. And in 2009 when I “broke free” and […]
One year on, where are we now?
It seems timely to do an update on the Covid-19 Situation. It was a year since the original first post from August 10, 2020: When will we be able to travel (freely) again with Covid-19? There was no open clear answer or open clear guidance from some governments of when we could travel again freely. […]
Snapshot 0.07
Following on from Learning Snapshot 0.06. Yes, we are dropping the “Learning” part and calling them Snapshots, as it’s part learning and a mix of other things. Talking of this, 0.07, 007, the new bond is coming out! Funny enough it is roughly another 4 months since my last post. South East Asia is definitely an […]
