No Newspapers!!!???

(Click here to read the earlier posts in my Bhutan series – Healthy Food?, How about a Miracle? and How about that Nirvana?) Our travel companions gathered together for dinner that first night in Thimphu, Capital of Bhutan. We had a group from 18 different countries – Japanese, Europeans, one Hong Konger (not me!), many Americans…

How about that Nirvana?

(Click to read my earlier posts in the Bhutan series – Healthy Food? and How about a Miracle?) Moon and I had been looking forward to our Bhutan trip. I remember the first time I heard of this trip was at the first quarter of 2014. I knew nothing about the place except that some…

How about a Miracle?

(Click here to read the first part of my blog series on Bhutan – Healthy Food) Some of us may have heard of stories where people were sick and the elders in a Chinese family went to the temple, prayed to a deity and the sick person was granted a miracle healing. The praying process…

Healthy Food?

I have been blessed with excellent health in 2014. The last part of 2014 was meant to be a very busy time with lectures in Taiwan and Malaysia, and a professional conference in New Orleans etc. December 2014 was another interesting time, as I had been preparing for running a half marathon and was ready…

Special Day Again

We have our annual ‘Specialist Dental Group’ gathering at the end of every year. November 29 is the date for this year’s dinner celebration. This is just one of the little traditions that we have at our company. What is the soul of a community? What is the soul of a football team? What is…

Run Wild

We have a new development in our family. No, no, no, my wife is not pregnant as far as I know. She is doing just fine with her life now with a new balance of leisure, family life, social life, and actively playing the role of mother and being my spouse. To that I am…

Incredible Taiwan – Part 1 of 2

It has been a rather busy few weeks. I was an external examiner for the National University of Singapore during the last week of October. The first part of the examination was officially completed on Friday afternoon, October 31, 2014. A few hours later, I was ferried to Johor Bahru, Malaysia to attend a dinner…

A View to a Kill: Run into It, Shall We?

It has been a very interesting journey since my 2 little girls started their running program with FlexiFitness in June 2014. My wife, being very wise (as usual), identified the coach and signed my girls up for it. Coach Rameshon is the Founder and Head Coach of FlexiFitness. He has a team of dedicated coaches…
