After seeing my many Facebook posts on the problems I was having with my right knee and how that was affecting my preparations for the Borneo International Marathon, a friend suggested I get and read a book on Chi Running by Danny and Katherine Deyer. 3 months of pain (right knee, lower back), disappointment (could not achieve target distances) and frustration (had to take time off everytime the knee hurt and...
I run 3 times a week at the Likas Sports Complex track to prepare myself for the half marathon (21 KM) in the Borneo International Marathon and to stay healthy. The Likas track is flat and roughly oval in shape, with a man made lake in the middle. One round of the track is just short of 1 KM. It gets crowded towards the evening and the on Saturday evenings whole...
My eldest sister called me a few nights ago. She was in a bit of a panic. Our father had called her to arrange mum’s 80th birthday party next month. He told her to make sure everyone in the family attended…as this would be his last time…! She was worried that something was terminally wrong with him. As she lives in another state, she wanted to check with me what was...
For years, i have always thought that my father was the main culprit for the clutter in my parents house. At restaurants, he would pocket as many toothpicks and wet towels as he can. He would come home from Sunday markets or trade fairs with stuff that we didn’t need. Although i must say that on his business trips to Japan, his penchant for buying oddball stuff and the latest electronic...
Business. Entreprenuer. Most of us start this journey in a similar manner. We have an idea. A product. An opportunity. Or we spot a need that needs to filled. We do some research. We ask friends. Is this a good idea? Would you pay me money for this? We decide to forge ahead in spite of the many words of caution from well meaning friends and family. “You already have a...
I read about this Austrian Millionaire named Karl Rabeder, who felt that his materialistic lifestyle was making him miserable. So, he decided to give all his wealth away (estimated at $4.7 million) to charity and move into a 2 room apartment and get by on $1,300 a month. Thanks to him someone got a lakeside villa in the alps, 42 acre farmhouse, an Audi A8 and some other stuff. Now for...
Will your children grow up to become Catagorizers? If you surf the net a lot, if you blog a lot, if you transact online a lot…you probably have bumped into these three words quite frequently..keywords – category – tags… In the online world, to find what you want fast, you need to be familiar with the keywords, categories or related tags of the item/article/object you are searching for. To properly position...
I love steak…i especially love how the Japanese prepare it… A good piece of steak needs only salt. I once saw a travel show on Argentina..aside from the Tango and sights, the show also highlighted a day out on the pampas with the cow herders in Argentina. What piqued my interest was the meal they served. Normally, over here we get to see a whole lamb roasting on the spit. In...
I used to think that Bentley’s were somewhat like the Rolls Royce..Great..if you were old…but the Convertible Onctinental Bentley’s are something else..wouldn’t use it in Malaysia though…why pay extras like excise duties and imagine driving this in our weather…. No, this car will definitely be in my stable of cars kept in my residences in Australia and Europe (check out Outrageous Goals – Residence Series)
A car i’ve always desired to have is the Porsche 911 Turbo…since before i even had my driving license, this car has been in my dreams…it also helps that the shape of the car has hardly changed and this keeps the dream going…so now, i officially convert it from a dream to an Outrageous Goal… Sticker price for this is more than RM 1,000,000…no problem for guys like me with Outrageous...
