A good bye, Mr Lee Kuan Yew. Thank you for building what I gladly and proudly call home. 

We had two Chinese New Year meals in Melbourne this year.  One was hot pot with good friends. The other was potluck with cousins.

Let's see how this one goes. Wishing for... a house that is suitable in terms of location, layout and price. Looking forward to... getting that house. Thinking of... that house. Haha. I'm actually quite serious. But I don't think that's how the above questionnaire is supposed to work. So let me try again: Busy with... Inspecting houses, as above. But also, busy with work on the weekdays. I've got more on my plate but I'm enjoying it as it's what I like to do and the team is great. Wishing for... our next holiday. Every time I chance upon a picture from our holiday in Thailand late last year, I feel a li

Write. Sit down and write. Write anything. Create space by actually sitting down. Let yourself think. Let your mind wander. Don't give up. Drift. You might chance upon an idea. You will. Whatever comes, write. Write about it. Write your thoughts, write your questions. Ask questions, answer questions. Write. Sit down and write. Write anything. Just write.
