Moving on?

I'm tired of what I'm doing - and I know I need to move on.
When I say move, I mean moving on to a higher step, and not moving off.

Nope I do not have any concrete plans yet.

I have many vague ideas/thoughts that constantly flash past but nothing has gotten me excited enough to make me want to move on.

I know what I'm currently doing is not for the long term; it's more of a "quit while you're ahead" thing.

I've gotten ahead a fair bit, now I'm thinking if I should persevere to build on it, or leverage it to do something else (don't ask me what).

Sums up my situation nicely

Time to think hard again, Swee.

Stop letting your mind rot!

Feedback please

Ok I'm asking for some feedback from you guys. I got two guys (1 indian, 1 filipino) to help me design a site and these are the drafts that they have come up with.

Anyone wants to contribute their 2-cents?
And maybe guess who designed what? =)

Outsourcing My Life?

14 months since I first read the 4-Hour Work Week - Now I find myself picking up the book to read it once more.



Reading, to me, is somewhat like the pebbles, stones and sand analogy. The first time I read a book, I don't think I will ever fully comprehend the true underlying meaning. I find myself understanding a lot more whenever I read books for a second time.

I'm not referring to reading a second time like what we were taught to do for our primary school comprehension essays. My second time usually involves a pretty long break in between.

Some books that I used to deem boring the first time round, seem to be much more interesting now.

I feel I'm at a very critical stage of my life, and I can feel a big change about to take place.

I can't tell you exactly what, because seriously I have no idea myself.

It's like palpitation.. Sometimes the inspiration/urge comes, while at times I'm like a dead man watching the hours pass by..

For now, my thoughts are about outsourcing my life away!

Motivation is Overrated

This is what I do when I run out of answers to my questions...

I ask the almighty Google

And I found this...

Tell me about it...


And for the saving grace...


Would you dance, if I asked you to dance?

It's a Fad

So after my previous 4-month office rental fad, I have decided to give myself another chance to prove that I can hack office life by co-renting a new office.


The 1-year rental agreement has been signed, and I will likely be moving in this Thursday!

Exciting things ahead, Swee!

My Dear Child...

My dear child, Makara wrote to me!

The letter was actually a mixture of english (probably written by the ChildFund representative) and khmer (I think), the official cambodian language. So I would assume the khmer words were from him, because they were written with a pencil and it looked right out of a child's handwriting.

He even made a pencil tracing of the outline of his fingers.. That's the thing we all used to do when we were young. Haha

Sometimes I think this could just be a scam - the children could be bogus, and the letters sent to me are all written by adults who are laughing at someone who is stupid enough to send money to others half the world away. And I've had friends who had told me likewise too.

But...... I think I choose to believe in the good things.

And I'm glad that what I'm doing here, is going to a greater cause elsewhere. :)
