You have to bribe…
After (unsuccessfully) trying to call for a cab from my client office in PJ (petaling jaya) from almost all taxi operators I know for an hour, a collegue smiles and whisper to me “Erm, you have to bribe them”. “Huh? How do you bribe a call operator over the phone?” “Tell them meter + 5”
神雕侠侣
Just got a new version of 神雕侠侣. Guess who is the 小龙女? None other than 刘亦菲 from 仙剑奇侠传 (see here). Even my wife say she has the “xiao long nu” look :-) Oh yea, they film this show at JiuZhaiGou, a very beautiful place in China which you should go to take a look if […]

In Washington
20+ hrs but finally arrived safely in Washington. All I can say is I really love SQ22, the direct non-stop flight from Singapore to New York. By the way, here are some breath taking photos I took while we fly over the north pole. I also love attending a conference where the organizer actually provide […]
