My life is commercialised whether I like it or not
Everything we say, we do, we buy, we engage is a result of commercialisation but in someone else’s favour. For example my mum buys stones. If I am without choice a commercial statistic, I can seek to reverse the direction even though I can’t unplug.

Diversifying world view
Includes doing what is traditionally female roles like house cleaning, raising kids. Traditionally female activities like dancing. I do blue collar jobs I watch Indian movies I learnt thai Listen to the old, talk to the equals and play with the young.
MoreLiving young to feel young
Living young isn’t about going to clubs when one is old. It’s about being foolish again.
MoreEurope is the light of the world; sustainability
At present China may be the country growing at the fastest rate in terms of the use of, economics of and technology of renewability and sustainability, but it is only because it is profitable. On the other hand, Europe invests in green technology in and for sustainability itself. Actions are still measured by their underlying […]
MoreThe rubbish must be visible for societies to take action against waste generation and management
There are societies that manage waste better, that manage waste worse. There are also societies that generate waste less, and those that produce more. I mentioned the two points, and in a way that pretty much covers the entire spectrum for both points, ie in “a some do more and some do less” manner. Like […]
MoreMaid, domestic helpers and slavery
We understand slavery in the context of the past: of cities in deserts, cracking whips and hordes of slaves moving immovable cut rocks. At present, while remuneration for helpers seems fair and seems engaged in less harsh conditions, I am uncertain it is any less slavery. I observe this on two points: – many people […]
MoreAbhor the system
I don’t abhor the “system” whatever that is out of some misplaced ideology. Rather, the ideology that crystallises itself to something real such as red tapes and bureaucracy gets in the way of getting things done efficiently.
MoreI liked vege because it was easier to eat
When I was a child, my friends around me proudly expressed how much they hated eating vegetables. I was quiet back then, and I couldn’t quite formulate sentences. But with retrospection as an adult now, I still remember exactly that I loved vegetables because it was alot easier eating them than eating meat. Also, it […]
MoreEnvironmental education workshop for pre-school principals and teachers
While I focus on the sustainability of my various businesses, which are essentially about real reduction in waste generation in the course of producing physical goods for sale, someone out there pursues it in his own way, in his own world separate from mine, in a completely different direction. A particular company I stumbled upon […]
MoreThe internet; someone’s gotta have asked that weird question in your head before
I was watching Alien, and a question popped into my head: what if the facehugger impregnated a cow? “A cow” because the jaw area is different from humans, and I wondered how the cow’s face would be wrapped. It was really a matter of visual imagination. Cutting through the dings and the dongs, the pertinent […]
MoreWorking alone
I had access to appraisal notes of leadership candidates, which included those describing me, when I landed the top job in a school curricular activity NCC (National Cadet Corp) back in secondary school. It was a unanimous observation among my predecessors that I preferred going about alone. I explain: the bullshit is real, ie the […]
MorePiano life and time
I learnt the piano for 11 years. Then I stopped for 17 years. Yet I was able to pick up again, upon relearning, from where I left off on my final attempt at learning Chopin’s Fantasie Impromptu. It is amazing how the human body works.
