There has been a saying in Hong Kong relatively recently, which goes like this – “How many decades does one have?” The answers would be: (1) Not too many, (2) No one knows for sure. It was a few weeks ago over a casual conversation, that my wife, Moon, asked me whether I wanted to…
Death and taxes are said to be the two things that no one can escape. I do not fully agree. A person can stay away from many ‘direct’ taxes (e.g. income tax) if he or she tries hard enough. On the other hand, nobody can argue that we are all subject to indirect taxes anyway…
Nowadays many people take up running as a hobby or habit in Singapore and Hong Kong. Running is a rather low consumption sport, nothing much in terms of facilities is needed for running. It is also a lovely form of exercise as long as it is done at an easy pace. An easy pace is…
We all have lost something in our life before, right? Maybe a pencil, a favorite book, or a few dollars here and there… Have you ever lost your wallet before? Until a few a days ago, I had NEVER lost my wallet except for the one time someone deliberately stole my wallet at the medical…

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…
