This week was quite a busy week for me as I attended the Prince’s Trust mentoring training for 2 days. I would like to share some quick takeaway points in mentoring young people. First, let the young person (mentee) talk by asking open questions. As people more mature in age, we tend to form opinions […]

A few days ago I wrote about the French course that I was not able to sign up for due to the January effect of over-subscription. I am here to update my readers as some of you are curious how that all ends. Well, I am proud (as a teacher’s pet) that my name dropping […]

It is where… the sun shines; the moon glows; the air flows; the rain drifts; the snow floats; the flowers grow; the birds sing; the dogs bark; the people smile; the children dance; love thrives; God speaks and mountains move.

Besides the January gym-going, I did not realize that taking language course is another popular January “activity”. Well, I learned it the hard way. It took me more than one week to get through the registration telephone line (and emailing them) trying to re-enrol my French course and the lady at the administration office politely […]

A friend of mine told me that the first week in January is considered as the toughest work week of the entire year. Well, I can attest to it. It does feel that way as I am battling with jetlag coming back from Canada last weekend (it actually took longer than I thought). However, with […]

A friend of mine who is a regular gym-goer asked me for ways to avoid the rush of January gym goers. My advice is: a) The rush usually lasts no more than the first two weeks of January. Keep calm and carry on. b) Continue your gym-going routine in terms of frequency c) Shorten the […]

Happy New Year to ALL :> January is often a “dramatic” month including all the jazz about new year resolution and detoxification (detox). For those who are into new year resolution (including me – what a surprise!), I would advise making realistic goals on what you can achieve in the month of January, in particular […]

As the year 2015 draws close to an end and 2016 is waiting eagerly around the corner, I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. May the new year bring you (and your family) joy, happiness, good health, kindness, peace and love in abundance. “Business” will resume bright and […]
