MisMatch!
So this is the story of my (dating) life: the guys I have absolutely no interest in keep asking me out and the ones I do have an interest in...don't. To be fair, I tend to neither encourage nor discourage someone and people can't read minds. The guy mentioned in a previous post, "Excuse Me, Are You Married?", has been texting me repeatedly over ( Read more... ) -
Cycle Mania
I am finally taking steps to join a cycling group for group rides. Just e-mailed the administrator for one of the seemingly more active bicycle clubs in Singapore. Hopefully I'll meet more people who don't write like retarded 6 year olds. (No offence to retarded kids.) -
Mind Mastery
Interesting article: Mastering your mind
Apart from exercising the body, exercising the mental state is also crucial to well-being. I am going to start meditation classes. -
Poker
I've become interested in poker recently. It's the psychological aspect that fascinates me. Now some people will say that's madness, wanting to learn psychology from gambling, or in the words of a friend "using poker to study people is like using electronic poker machines to study probability", but I see things differently. Certainly it's madness ( Read more... ) -
Fixed Up Pushbike!
After months of procrastination, I've finally gotten my bicycle fixed up. The seat, a different brand, isn't as comfortable as the original Bontrager model that I got along with my bike but unfortunately the bike shop here stock very limited merchandise and I don't know the model number of the seat I had. One of the really stupid things about ( Read more... ) -
Perception
A few weeks ago, I went to a talk given by a German brand consultant. She brought up a really interesting example. What do you think of when names like "Mercedes" and "Lamborghini" are brought up? Think for a bit before you continue reading ( Read more... ) -
Rusty Like a Nail
Skills are like muscle. If you stop using them for a while they degenerate and waste away. They are not exactly missed till you need to use them again. I'm trying to brush up on the languages I know, after recent difficulties communicating in Chinese and Japanese.
To my multilingual readers:
早安你好！ おはいようごじゃます。 Guten Tag! Selamat Pagi. -
狗眼看人低
我知道现实是这样的，但是还是很难接受。被看扁的感受真的很不良。虽然说，不要管人家怎么样看待我，但是还不能做到。可能是心虚吧。面对事实让我心冷。最近我因为看了《百家讲坛》 -- 论文 （U 频道） 而对中国文化与学问又感到兴趣。《论文》，《三字经》，《孙子兵法》等等原本是以文言文写的，一点都不容易看所以第一次碰面就放弃。那时我还是十几岁罢了。长大了就像小孩，一直问，这是什么意思，那是为什么。对世界上的一切很反感。中国历史奈了这么久，其中应该有某样东西我能学习，运用。 -
Victoria's Secret: Looks Good, Feels Bad
Interesting write up on Victoria's Secret. I've got something from Victoria's Secret because they're a well known brand and their website is pretty slick. The item in question looked good on the model featured on their website. Alas, the packaging was nicer than the actual garment, which came tissue wrapped in a pink and gold box. The cloth was of ( Read more... ) -
MMI Seminar Packaging
I embarked on the personal MBA reading list early in 2006. I still haven't read a number of books on that list because some of them are quite hard to get here. I've also read other books not on that list but were personally interesting to me or were recommended by other people. One of these books is "Blue Ocean Strategy"
