As it is not turning water into wine, so what is the big deal? Ice melts into water under room temperature anyway! Actually, I meant turning the Ice bucket challenge into Water bucket challenge. I took the challenge yesterday with 6 other colleagues for charity. I was the last person taking the bucket. When it […]

With 62 copies sold at the conference today, the total sales figure has reached triple digit! The first milestone is 1,000 in 12-month, so we are now more than 10% of that. We still have quite a bit to go, but I am very much encouraged. Thank you for all your support. I will report […]

So much fun on a single day! Tomorrow I will have my first corporate presentation of my book in front of 50+ colleagues in Holland. It will take place right before lunch, so I can get the butterflies out of my stomach before I can actually eat. Not necessary a bad thing in itself :> […]

At the outset, let me clarify that wearing-different-hats (WDH) is not the same as having multiple personality disorder. The former refers to the ability to strategically, consciously and intentionally take up distinct and different roles as needed. The latter one is a mental illness in the form of personality disorder that a single person unconsciously […]

Just imagine me fighting my way against the pouring rain and gusting wind with a small foldable umbrella (obviously not folded at that time :>) on the beach at 9:30pm last night searching for the beach club. Believe me – It was “slightly” less glamorous than the film “Singing in the Rain” suggests. The party […]

Last night’s dinner party was relatively uneventful. I only managed to sell one copy and distribute 6 promotional postcards until one friend threatened to pour water over me if I did not stop :>. Well, fate has it that today I am going to a friend’s 40’s birthday party in a beach club in Hague, Holland. […]

I am invited to a dinner party tonight organized by a group of good friends in London. And they warned me on the email invitation that rule #1, “please DON’T turn it into a book launch party.” I replied later and confirmed that “After a few attempts, I failed to persuade Raymond not to make […]

Yes, the “link” between lulu.com and Amazon was established 2 weeks earlier. Excellent! My book is now available on Amazon (both paperback and Kindle). The timing is very good (thank God) – It is very close to my big corporate launch on 8-Oct-14 when I will present my book in front of approximate 50 colleagues […]

My protégé for the past 18 months at work had his farewell drink last night. After a few more days in the office, he will be “stretching his wings” elsewhere. I am more proud of him than me (which may be a rare occurrence for some people). He called me Master Yoda. I took it […]

I got the message finally when I asked a friend repeatedly for feedback after purchasing my book 1 week ago. He said “Raymond, your book is not a piece of meat. It does not decay and please calm down.” It is true. People buy books and read them later. A book is not a newspaper that people read […]
