Not enough credit is given to coders. Usually one or two coders get all the credit while the rest of the coders involved in the development are taken for granted. I think that’s unfair. Of course, all coders are not Steve Jobs, but including everyone in the appreciation is smart and productive.
I’m very lucky to [...]

I had a busy weekend and missed drinking green tea. I made up for it tonight. Big mistake. Green tea with ginseng boosts energy, at least that’s the effect it has on me. It’s 1 am but I’m wide awake and feeling hyper. Tomorrow, or rather today, will be a busy day for me. If [...]

Never did I imagine my very private decision to wear a hijab would put me on the world stage of a heated debate from US, Canada, France, Turkey to Australia and everywhere in between.
I too didn’t know I would be wearing a headscarf when I embarked on a journey to learn about Islam from it’s [...]

I’m officially slightly overweight according to BMI calculator. Lately, I’ve been feeling I had put on weight but didn’t realize how much until a week or so ago. Good news is I’m back on moderate, organic and healthy eating.
One of my challenge will be to avoid eating out. I enjoy trying different restaurants and that [...]

After hearing from friends that it’s not a tough job to assemble furniture, I decided to give it a try. Big mistake. For the last couple of days, I’ve been trying to assemble a file cabinet. The instructions may seem straight forward, but I just can’t connect two pieces together. I should have stuck with [...]

I’ve decided to live green, starting from home. I was inspired by watching a few episodes of Living with Ed on HGTV. Though I can’t afford, or have the energy, to go all the way, I’ve started taking baby steps. I’ve replaced all the bulbs in my home with CFLs, except in the living room. [...]

I wish all my Chinese friends in Singapore and elsewhere a warm Gong Xi Fa Cai!
Chinese New Year is the biggest celebration in Singapore. If you love to experience local culture, visit Singapore during Chinese New Year. There are lots of celebrations throughout the island with bargains at shopping centers and promotions elsewhere. Stay until [...]

I’m not a supporter of Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, John McCain, and certainly not Mike Huckabee, or any of the remaining running candidates. None of them differ much on their stand on issues from health care, economy to foreign policy. But, if I had to choose, I’d bet on Obama to bring change, if only [...]

It feels so good to be able to move my neck and shoulders with ease. As always, my masseuse did her magic and I don’t feel any stress. I am trying to follow her advice and take breaks from the computer every so often. I’m taking it easy and keeping all worrying thoughts at bay. [...]

The buzz word in today’s political arena is “change”. People want change. I too want change, with a passion. But, how do we bring about change?
In corporations and organizations, when changes are needed, new people are given the job to fill, whether from within the organization or from outside. People are by nature resistant [...]
