We are officially in 2015. “Officially” because as of this time, schools have re-opened, people are back at work and life is pretty much back to normal after the year end celebrations. Quoting my little one at home, “The 12 days of Christmas are over.” She is right – now is back to life and…
I travel to Hong Kong on a rather regular basis for family visits and for work. Moon and I make it a point to take our girls along whenever they are available. The reason is simple – Moon and I want my girls to know their extended family and friends well. That was one of…
Is 64 years of age ‘old’? I ask this not because The Beatles wrote a song, “When I’m 64”… Many people do not know that part of the Astroboy manga comics series was born in 1950 (or 1951) and that series was set in the year 2015. Yes, that is NOW!! Human beings have tried…

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…
I am getting some home run(s). I am visiting my parents in Hong Kong this weekend. So I call it a home run weekend. I will be running with my high school classmate KC, a seasoned marathon runner, early on Sunday morning before sunrise, followed by another run with my high school cross-country team boys…
