Singapore brain drain

In a simple manner, I thought about the Arab St, Haji Lane area and the Arab fabric trade: What are they doing here? Why do they last so long? They are experts on the subject matter and it most certainly has something to do with their culture spanning centuries. I can’t help but compare Arabs […]

Something different

Almost all potential corporate customers ask me if I can customize my leather laptop sleeves into A4 folders. They say, “I want something different (emphasize),” in zest.

Statistical anomaly

Passivity

A reminder

My parents and my brother are at the hospital now. My brother apparently fell down yesterday, while in camp, and hurt his head. He felt faint half an hour ago and felt a little numbness in his upper body. I’m worried. Certain experiences will mould the lenses through which you see the world and what […]
