  A bit of a long post on a Sunday and the 10th day of the Ox Lunar Year. But the TLDR version of it is very simple. If you have been offered the vaccination, JUST DO IT.  Got a text some time last week and thought it was a hoax or a scam initially. But turns out that I’m one of the luckier group of people to have been offered the Covid vaccination. An early group of people after they have vaccinated all the over age 65 and front liners.  I think the reason why I am sharing this is not to gloat or to tell everyone that I’m safe to be approached in case you want to :) But more so to spread the message that the Covid-19 vaccination IS SAFE. I’ve heard friends and families doubting the reliability and the risk of this vaccine. From the comprehensivity of the testing since it’s being developed and rolled out at a record speed, to the possibility of it having the purpose to “control and track” human mankind. #Nanomites!! So let’s break this down my chain of thoughts right before I went for

I can't believe myself stop blogging for more than 2 years came back writing about Women tennis. But hear me out. Serena Williams - Queen of Tennis First of all, I'm a massive fans of Serena Williams. At the top where Federer, Sampras and Nadal were. She has changed the landscape of women tennis like how Nadal brought power and Federer introduced style and "class" to men tennis. Along the way all of them brought in new and reinvigorate existing tennis players like me to keep on playing and loving the game.  And 23 Grand Slams are not a mean feat at all. If you look at the closest rivals of whom have won a grand slam that are still playing today, the closest are Venus (7) and Sharapova (5)!! She is the greatest current and almost certainly ever women tennis player in history. Maybe, and I say maybe that might have drove her to do what she did last Saturday during the Finals of US Open 2018. So let's break it down. The US Open Finals - the crucia

First thing first. I do not work with Apple Inc or in any of it's subsidiaries or affiliated with them in any way or form. I do work in a major consumer electronic manufacturer company in the UK and my opinion piece below in no way or form represent what I do professionally for a living but merely just my frank and personal opinion. All encounter below is being described at it's truest form that I can remember and describe. Alright... with the legal bit out of the way, let me start with brief experience sharing working in a typical marketing team in a multinational consumer electronic company. Often enough we will be stuck in a team meeting discussing plans and strategy on how to market our upcoming products to the market. And I can bet you with all my working experience that the word "Apple" will come up in one way or form during these meetings. Hence we are either bench-marking what Apple does, or simply try to replicate what they have done.  But based on

If you are like me the many fortunate ones who grew up in an era where the Malaysian politics hasn't "still"  amended history books or re-written what's black and white into grey, then you must have read a lot about Mr Lee Kuan Yew in your history lesson at school. Yes.. Indeed in Malaysia you might not heard who is Tan Siew Sin or Lee San Choon or the matter of fact Onn Jaafar. But you must have heard about a guy who live just across the river and almost become a Malaysian. He is of course the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew who has recently pass away at the age of 91. Who is he? Well, in my increasingly vague memory of my history lessons almost 30 years ago, he is Singapore. Yup... Anything we read about him, good or bad, right or wrong, true or otherwise it's always about Singapore. Remember the great "MRT"? Remember the ban on chewing gum? Even the crooked bridge has his "name" on it as well! But way before all these, obviously what we re

Welcome to 2015! I think I must have said this before. Every year, I told myself to write more, but it seems that every year I have failed that simple resolution. Let’s hope this won’t happen in 2015. It’s probably good to start with a resolution for 2015 and instead of writing and describing in a post, let’s describe it with a picture… I just can’t see how 2015 won’t better 2014, especially in the work front. But let’s hope a better 2015 for me, and for all.

With the recent conclusion of consumer tech product launches from new smartphones to smartwatches, from phone as big as tablets to tablets as large as laptops, the usual argument since probably 2010 still split the views of many. Apple vs the Rest . Source: wikipedia.org #Personal Computer Believe it or not. Apple has been fighting this "litigation" almost ever since their inception. They started off with the "Big Blue" (IBM) and they have tackled the space where some thought as impossible as landing a man on the moon then, “Personal Computer” which today we just simply call it as PC. Then with Microsoft. Based on my limited understanding of what really happen then, I have to say "innovation" probably dominates the era when PC started penetrating our household. Some define innovation as a new word of creative piracy or photocopying. Others may argue that without innovation, technological advancement might takes much longer than what we wo
