The morning after YOUTH’09

January 12th, 2009

I leapt out of bed at 7am this morning, wondering what had just happened.
My body, surprisingly, is fine. Blistered, marathoned feet, aching trapezius muscles aside, my mutant healing powers must have took care of the rest.
My mind, on the other hand, was suspicious.
For the past 10 days I’ve survived on 4 to 6 hours of [...]

Keeping our promises, and changing the world

November 9th, 2008

How many promises have you made in your lifetime?
Promises to yourself. Promises to your boss. Your mother. Your friends.

What if you have kept them all? How would your world be today?
How many promises do we make, both knowingly, and unknowingly. Because when you think about it… you’re not the one making promises… promises are made [...]

Sudden songs and proposal writing

October 26th, 2008

I’m listening to “Standing outside a broken phone booth with money in my hand” right now. Joel put it on, his girlfriend emailed the mp3 to him.
We’re writing out “proposals”.

To think that a great business partnership, the formation of an youth entrepreneur hub, or a million dollar transaction can begin from innocent words on paper.
Especially [...]

Loose thoughts.

October 18th, 2008

I had some soft boiled eggs and noodles this afternoon, and sat around in the breeze for half an hour. It was really, really good. The breeze eventually disappeared. Replaced by a whiff of car exhaust, and police sirens in the distance. That was neat, too. But the breeze was hard to top.

The Importance of Sleep VS Rest

August 28th, 2008

How much time do you need to finish this?
How much attention do you need to finish this?
How much sleep do you need to feel fresh?
How much rest do you need to feel fresh?
Just like how time is so different from attention, I feel rest and sleep have a related, important distinction, too.
Time, [...]

Domination starts with do

From an award winning ad campaign in India… the ad copy is quite relevant to Malaysia’s political scene too.

How to get some action ;)

March 26th, 2008

I was alone one night, in deep thought…
I was wondering what I would learn by going through a selection of 213 quotes on “action”.
The one thing I personally took away?
The need for consistency and continuous effort.
Not revolutionary, I know.
But it hints at me quite accurately, as I’ve spent the most part of life on “think [...]

How One Small Tweak Can Change Your Life Completely

February 12th, 2008

What are the top 3 activities you enjoy?
I realize I have been spending most of my life chasing the activities I enjoy. And this really paved the path I have followed thus far.
If only I enjoyed different activities, I would be a completely different person today.
So here’s my hypothesis:
If you want to completely change [...]

Are you living someone else’s dream?

February 2nd, 2008

The author of my favorite online comic, Wondermark!, shares some reflections on his life’s focus…

Nearly a year on, I’m finding myself turning down work-for-hire gigs more and more often so I can have time to focus on the comic and other personal projects. Like Tuesday’s comic expressed (in a fashion), I don’t want to waste [...]
