What I value most about this humourous rendition is that he has honed his artistic talents for the past 25 years. He learnt howContinue reading “What DRIVEs You?”

Re-build Your Team: The fallout from this global disease is not over, yetContinue reading “Rebuilding A Team Of Distinction In The New Norm (2020)”

One stunning example of how fun has been integrated effectively and with stunning impact is the Pike Fish Company in the Farmers’ Market in Seattle. FUN isContinue reading “Games & Game-Mastery”
OSAKA MARATHON 2016: A RACE REPORT
I completed the Osaka Marathon on 3 November. In that race, I earned a Boston Qualifier (BQ) time of 3 hours 19 minutes. With a margin of over-10 minutes, I think I am assured of a spot in the Boston Marathon 2018. I was mildly disappointed that I missed narrowly a BQ-with-Boston in April thisContinue reading “OSAKA MARATHON 2016: A RACE REPORT”
Thinking About Thinking
When George Lucas created the concept of ‘light-sabres’ in his successful franchise ‘Star Wars’, he creatively substituted and imagined that controlled laser-beams would be the choice of ‘blades’ (of the swords of guardian-protectors known as Jedi-knights) of a futuristic premise. Imagination based on existing knowledge works on synthesising epistemology and technology, and together with visionContinue reading “Thinking About Thinking”

Ironman Triathlons
The distance may seem daunting: a 3.8km swim, 180km ride, and a full marathon (42.2km) – all completed within 17 hours (sometimes less). The title ‘Ironman’ sounds almost super-human, like the Marvel Comics character. I was drawn to this sport in 2003 (through the influence of my coach), when I took a year to trainContinue reading “Ironman Triathlons”
