A few years ago, i glanced through a book in MPH Mid Valley on trends of the future. One trend the author forecasted was that individuals would no longer be employed by one company but instead offer their services to many, on a project basis. In the book it described an individual, sitting at home facing two PC monitors. Each monitor had a separate company bidding for his/her service. The author...
Earlier in the week, i bought 4 tenggiri (Spanish Mackerel) slices. 2 slices were fried that day and served for dinner. Last night, i thought of doing a Fish Croquette with one of the remaining tenggiri slices. My mum used to make this when i was 30 years younger. She would coat the croquette with Paxo brand breadcrumbs. Paxo breadcrumbs are colorful, orange, red and some other colors if i remember...
Ever since my bout with dengue in Singapore, my right knee has been bothering me. After resting the whole of December, i’ve been trying to get back to my running schedule but have been put off by pain in my right knee. Today i went to see a physio. After consultation, some pulse machine attached to my knee, some lifting excercises followed by a hot wrap over the knee, my knee...
Star (www.thestar.com.my) reports that come May 1st, there will be a new fuel pricing mechanism..http://tinyurl.com/ygylnee. Lower capacity cars pay less for fuel. This opens up a great biz opportunity. Get all the Kancil’s, Kenari’s to fill up their tanks to the max at RM 1.80 (even better, get them to install extra fuel tank), buy back half from them at RM 1.90 and sell to the higher capacity car owners at...
So far, i am happy with my decision to make WordPress my primary blogging platform. Since i made the decision, i have imported my older blogs from tumblr, categorized my posts, added some widgets and gadgets and am happy with the way wordpress allows me to personalize my blog page. I’ve managed to get the look and feel i wanted, get stats, link my tweets and import from other places…what else...
My right knee is definitely injured. Tried to run again this morning and learnt how to limp – run…really bad for the back..then my left thigh started to strain as it took some of the burden off the right leg… Have since posted my apologies to my fb friends who warned me not to go running so soon…and will be seeking medical treatment this weekend…hopefully it isn’t anything serious… Now that...
Got this recipe from an Aunt. She cooked this dish for New Year’s eve dinner 2010. It tasted so good, i just had to ask for the recipe. Looks like Hainanese Chicken but tastes slightly different. This is the result of my second attempt at this dish. The first went horribly wrong. Did not boil the chicken long enough and had to reboil the chopped and marinated chicken. Even then, some...
After months of researching for a suitable blogging platform, after opening accounts with tumblr, blogger and a few others…i have finally settled on WordPress as my primary blogging platform. I love the interface in tumblr, but its limited features and SEO leave me no choice but to move on to other blogging platforms…i love to personalize my pages..look a bit different than others…and although blogger allows for that as well, somehow...
Today i got back on to the running track. After slightly more than a month of a scheduled break from running, i started to run again today. Today i also learnt the difference between a tired leg and an injured leg. My right knee has been giving me trouble since my dengue bout in Singapore. Although the pain has more or less receded, there is still a niggling pain in my...
I had trained. I was fit. I was ready. I had my flights. I had my hotel booking, my shoes, my gear. I arrived in Singapore with a slight cough but still in high spirits. Registered myself for the race at the Expo site, browsed through the running exhibitors and soaked in the pre race atmosphere. Checked into the hotel and my cough now evolved to a full blown fever, with...
