Just got an email from the CFO of an old company I worked for … they are getting another huge round of funding … and need me (as a shareholder!) to approve the process.
Hehehe … I can’t reveal the exact figures (due to confidentiality), but I do own a rather tiny percentage of that company [...]

This week, finally took a few hours off work to go to POE coach training. As usual, it was Pete spinning webs, opening loops and making himself look like an idiot to all the new coaches.
As usual, those of us who understand how he works … were sitting back and chuckling at the perplexed faces [...]

Came to office early today … so killed some time by listening to the Mutton Boys on 987fm and reading the paper. Those Justin and Vernon guys are too funny … always crack me up with their Singlish and so very singaporean anecdotes
Anyway, noticed in the paper … that there was a bikini [...]

Sunday Morning - Went to the toastmasters. While we didn’t manage to start on time, the meeting room was much better than our usual and I got to speak!
Everyone who spoke was awesome … and my speech went really well! I spoke on a topic close to my heart - how it is OK to [...]

Sunday morning, rain is falling ….
Well, not really … but its a nice song anyway :).
It’s sunday morning, 7AM. What (you may ask) am I doing up at this ungodly hour?
I have my first toastmasters speech in 3 hours! And I’ve only just started preparing for it. Am feeling nervous (can’t help it, there’s always [...]

“This is gonna be a quick blog … I’m on a coffee break between a meeting”
Have you ever felt out of place?
Ever looked around you and seen many people … but just not related to them?
Ever felt like you were meant for something greater than the ordinary people around you?
Yet, at other times … when [...]

Today, we finally put up a sign on our office with the company name. Oooh, it feels like a real office now!
By the end of the week, I should have some paintings put up … and make it all seem like a typical consultant’s office.
On another note, I took a personality test … I love [...]

Last weekend, I was out shopping with my homie Ravish … and this being Superman season, he wore his body hugging blue t-shirt.
You will not believe how many kids were pointing at him and urging their parents to introduce them to Superman! It was so amazing … I’d totally forgotten what it is like to [...]

Just read the news this morning … over the weekend, the Indian governement forced all the Internet Service Providers to block Blogspot and other major blogging sites!
Jeez, how stupid can they be!
Here’s what happened. The government wanted to block a few blogs for terrorist related activities. And so, very foolishly, they asked all the ISP’s [...]

Just wanted to write a quick post before I left office.
It’s 10:40pm … I feel so hard-working :D.
Anyway, closed yet another deal today … and got a few more meetings lined up for the rest of the week … people around me seem real surprised how I have so much business to keep me busy. [...]

Last night, somewhere between walking out of office at 11 … and Loudly singing “I Like Big Butts” on the bus … it hit me - life is good!
Some weeks are hard … some are more fun. Sometimes I win at sports, sometimes I lose ;).
I’m looking forward to a lot of things - my [...]

Last night, after 8 weeks of toiling … I finally finished writing a huge project. I can’t release too many details due to confidentiality, but it was a direct mail package … with two 9 page sales letters.
Pretty Cool, huh? Here’re some screenshots of my writing for you to gawk at …

The last week was crazy. 7 Day work weeks. Midnight oil every day. Had two conferences even on Sunday night!
And there was the stress of taking on new projects. While, I enjoy closing deals … I don’t really have the manpower to handle new projects!
Nothing new in my love life … Definitely didn’t have time [...]

Most of my friends seem needlessly busy, tired, anxious and dazed these days. So, I’ve decided to change their mood in 6 short minutes! Click on the play button and sit back …

It was yet another crazy busy week! I’m suddenly regretting my new-found obsession with closing more deals and getting more clients …
Anyway, through the whole week, I did find time to play some sports and gym a bit …
On Friday night, I played ice-hockey with the boys. Mostly got my butt kicked (although the matches [...]

This morning, I had my graduation ceremony.
Yes, the whole shebang.
Wore a gown, tossed by grad cap outside UCC, and took photos with a lot of old faces.
Since I had officially gotten my degree six months ago … this event didn’t have much sentimental value. Nevertheless, it was a fun use of a wednesday morning (I [...]

This girl always makes me go into a trance … sigh

Borat is the funniest character ever created - For those who don’t know him … it is a creation of Ali G. He’s supposed to be a dumbass reporter from Kazakstan who’s out to see the world.
And now he’s getting his own movie! It is just too freaking funny. And his website has gotto be [...]

Dammit, I’m so pissed! Stayed up all night to watch the grand old men of France finish off their great campaign.
And it had to end with that foolish foul by Zidane. What the hell was he thinking! That’s no freaking way to end your international career. And that just took away the great momentum France [...]

After going to office … blogging for a few hours … pacing around the room … bouncing my stress ball against the wall … and nervously looking over the tasks I was supposed to finish on friday … I got a call from my homie
“Dude, come back home … it’s tennis time!”
Can’t say no to [...]

OK, this is the 2nd post about what’s been in my head this week. The first one was about my love life … this one is about my business life …
This week in my business
Again, this week had its ups and downs in this area.
First, I had several great meetings this week. Took a few [...]

Why I was feeling blue …
Last night, two close friends of mine took me aside to check if I was feeling normal. Apparently, they thought I had a lot on my mind and my mind was somewhere far away from the party I was at.
They were right. So, to get some things off my chest [...]

The bus schedules on saturday afternoons suck! I just spent over an hour getting to the office … and the connecting buses took so long!
To cool off … I’ve had to take off my shirt and roam around the office topless! (Take it easy ladies, I closed my room door and put on a jacket [...]

That’s right, I joined the Raintree Toastmasters!
(Before I get into the actual post … allow me to gloat … I’m starting this post at 11:20PM … from Office! I feel so hard-working)
So, a month ago I joined the Toastmasters club at AKLTG - Raintree Toastmasters
For those of you who don’t know what Toastmasters is [...]

My weekend started on Friday afternoon when my sister gave me a call - she made it to SMU!!! Yipeeee … I hadn’t expected her to come to SMU since she’d already joined another college in India … but now that she’s making it, I’m so happy for her! Coming out and seeing a new [...]

Ever heard of anyone using porn to sell clothes? Well, someone figured out a way to do that … check out www.sexpacking.com
The site has three explicit hardcore videos (gay sex, straight sex & lesbian sex). The sex vidz are very professionally edited (if you pay careful attention, even the song in the background contains the [...]
