I’ve always guarded privacy well. I don’t share my matters with any Tom Dick Harry. I share more with those I trust and regard as close (enough). Those who aren’t so has no business knowing more than they should. That is a very simple law I abide by.

Yesterday I realised a part of me was compromised. Someone had divulged to some people; people who I ( Read more... )

This year's Event Of The Year (EOTY) by kevinexx fell on 12 September, the day right after polling day for General Election 2015.

My work hardly brings me overseas. This year however, has been a little different. I visited 2 places that I otherwise wouldn't have gone on my own - China, and the Middle East.

Sometimes we have a tendency to train muscle groups that we (and others) can clearly appreciate, and in the process neglecting those that aren't in direct view - like how my Lats felt tender because it was underworked. Like one's character/personality, what cannot be as easily seen is of equal importance as what can. In a circle obsessed with abs, ( Read more... )
