This post is merely an opinion piece of my observation on a societal trend. There is no intention of criticising any institution or corporate practice.

Nobody really talks about a ‘post-9/11′ world anymore. Putting aside the human tragedy of 3,000 lives lost, news headlines took on Chan Brother’s view of epic experiences: that life would never be the same again. Politics, governance, threats, peace, tolerance, religion. And if, honestly, you don’t remember that Chan Brothers’ tagline, then perhaps you are… [Read more…]

It was rush hour and I managed to squeeze myself onto the train along the North-East Line. Just another typical day; visited another decent but not exactly inspiring new cafe (I do visit a lot of cafes which I don’t blog about, actually..), bought another new coffee toy, and had a brief shopping siesta with… [Read more…]

She doesn’t like to move, has difficulty walking to her mailbox and earns her money doing sexual performances online… [Read more…]

I’ve been kind of amused at the recent surge of articles in the media written about Gen Y-ers. Generation Y members are generally known as those born anytime between the mid-1970s to about 2000; who can also otherwise be defined as the children of the baby boomers generation. What amused me was how the articles… [Read more…]

At somewhat cursory occasions like weddings, it’s inevitable that people ask about your work as it is the safest topic to ask about. Especially when one works in as intriguing a field as social work (which people have a lot more questions about than.. say.. accounting), I found myself having to answer several similar questions… [Read more…]

The MLM phenomenon is of course not new. It’s been around for ages. One of my earlier exposures to it was when I was in the army. A random guy involved in MLM one day came up to me and asked ‘Eh Liren. I ask you. What is your dream in life?’ ‘Huh?’ ‘Yeah. I… [Read more…]
