General
I speak in whatever accents I can 'find', so long as I master it.
Depending on the person, I speak in different accents. Not dialects - I do not really have the opportunity to really stay in any given place loooong enough to learn different regional variants of languages. Just accents.
I'm...
Today we tackled the big fish (pun intended). Apparently the original Hebrew term is vague enough that it could be any large sea creature, although my edition of the Tanakh has no problem translating it as fish. And yes, though he really didn't push the point, if you believe the Bible is the...
Something that baffles me:
Why my parents decided to move to Malaysia?
They claim that they were priced out of the property market - that's true - but why can't they be content living in at least a home?
Don't they remember moving here, because of a lack of employment and education...
The other day the subject of movies came up in small group discussion at church. Apparently, going to see R-rated movies (unless it is Mel Gibson's Passion of the Christ, which I consider pornography and won't see) is something a real Christian doesn't do. No, it wasn't stated outright as a...
I have three pet topics: race, religion and sex.
Too bad, I can't talk about race openly in my home country, because my race happens to be a drop in the ocean of other races in the region I'm in. I also can't talk about religion, because there are different religions my ethnic group...
I am thinking about the song we sang last Sunday in church to kick off the theme of God's love and mercy as demonstrated in the Book of Jonah. I can't think of the name of it right off, maybe some of you might be familiar with it. It goes something like this, "He loves me, loves like a...
I just made a casual observation amongst my friends and I found one jarring similarity: what your parents do affect us more than what we think we can do.
I know an accountant whose son, having no other interests other than music, choosing accountancy as his career path.
I also know someone...
I think I have to tell life as it is.
I have to admit, if I bring too much money, I will feel a little scared when I don't carry them... I just have those vibes for no reason.
I also have to admit, I am becoming more of a miser...
Btw I just thought of Singapore's 5 million lottery...
How can I avoid saying the same things, over and over and over again? I am just curious why do I seem to repeat the same ideas...
When autistic people are diagnosed with DSM-V, media will most likely focus on autistic people and deprive autistic individuals of hope and justice. Once labeled or even identified for possible autism-like behavior, autistic people will lose the passion to do the best they can, and just live in...
I haven't been on my computer for several days because of the heat wave. My house has no air conditioning, so I spent most of my evenings underneath my remaining shade tree with a glass of cold ice tea and Ken Follett's new book, "Fall of Giants", about Europe during the First World War. I...
There is a Facebook comment saying I'm too retarded.
If I've got nothing except dedication to my tasks, what else can I be, other than, well, looking stupid?
It's even a compliment in hyphy-speak
1. Black and yellow, Malay version: Too bland, too boring, no creativity
2. Accident: Alcohol ruins lives. Don't drink and drive. But if you want to live fast and die young, please do whatever you can in a controlled and mature manner.
3. Board Games: Play, play and play. Don't stop. Keep on...
How can I live forever?
I thought of a few things on the bus:
(1) Perhaps we can suggest this to 'school students' in three ways -
Get into the workforce early, and tell ourselves, it's the one and only chance
Get into some place where we'll find ourselves -
Or get into some...
I don't know much about autism until I had 3 experiences in my life, that changed me.
Number 1 would be me volunteering in Pathlight School, an autism school, when I was in Grade 9/freshman in high school. I was doing administrative jobs. I was doing odd jobs that no one wanted to do. The...
Someone asked me do I look good in black and white.
If I bleed black and white, do I need to bother whether black and white looks good on me? I'm my own self and I look best in black and white!
(1) So a CEO needs to be someone who 'can'.
Thing is, where are the right opportunities and what can people do?
http://blogs.hbr.org/cs/2011/07/what_makes_a_great_ceo.html
(2) How can people make ideas work, for lesser time and effort with more impact?
(3) How can we be better while...
Why do you think something or some organization needs reform, when the foundations alone are already unsound?
The advice I got for job hunting:
Never release your resume online, for insurance companies are the only ones that bother to send them out.
Apply for jobs early, always, but make your application relevant.
Success is not determined by talent, intelligence or even effort.
It's more of an opportunity to make the fullest use of opportunities given.
