Some people asked me how big my collection is. Well, I did not really count them, but I think it is in the vicinity of 100 items. Due to the limitation of living space in London, I took close to 20 stuff-animal frogs to Canada for my 2 lovely nieces last year. I am very glad that […]

I used to have 4 pet frogs! It was quite a long while back when I lived in New York. My colleague (back then) Tina gave me 4 tree frogs that she found in her swimming pool as my obsession of frog was evident in the office. I bought a small tank and kept them for the […]

Why is frog my favorite animal? First, frog is an amphibian which can live in water and on land. I am like a frog in the sense that I have 2 sides (I don’t mean right and left). I enjoy quiet hobbies such as music and reading. On the other hand, I like sports (more […]

A friend of mine told me that he failed an exam that he was preparing for the past 6 months. Main Reason of failure?

Today concludes my ‘book tour’ in Hong Kong and I will be on a red-eye flight back to Europe tonight. Hong Kong is an even busier city than London. The hustle and bustle of life can be quite challenging even for someone who was born and raised here. My book, short of 70 pages in […]

A friend of mine told me that his daughter is having difficulties adjusting to the first year of university. I recalled similar experience during my time and it did take me a bit of time before I started enjoying my university life. In retrospect, I think the awareness and psychological preparation are crucial. Like most […]

Happy Thanksgiving to All! Special thanks to those who have given me support, help, advice and feedback in various ways for the publication, sales and marketing of my book in 2014. I feel very blessed and have learned a great deal 🙂

I had lunch with a high school classmate who is taking some time off from work at the moment.  He told me that he was quite inspired by my book publication (he has not read it yet, hopefully soon) and he is contemplating on writing one himself. I asked him what the type and subject […]

Today I had coffee with a friend of mine who had started his own business a year ago. He said the negative feedback was the most valuable advice he received. As tough as it is, it may be the honest truth that one needs to hear. A word of caution as mentioned  in my book: […]
