Reaching New Height

Yesterday. I was surprised when Yin Khun handed me a stack of laminated photos in my office - yes, laminated photos! He explained that Ar. Shim had given them to him to pass on to me. But, that wasn't all - Ar. Shim also wanted me to know that Innotech's doors are always open for Sam, should he ever wish to join them.

Wow, I felt an overwhelming sense of pride and honour knowing that my son has reached such a professional calibre - where his skills and reputations make him a sought-after talent.

Christmas Tree


Somehow, putting up a Christmas tree enhances the spirit and festivity of Christmas in a home. There is this nostalgia and reminder of good times that we as a family has gone through.

Don't Work Yourself to Death

A few days ago, I heard this piece of news in CNN reporting about one Japanese who literally worked to his death.
This Japanese, an employee of Toyota Motor Corp worked non-stop everyday and clocked more than 100 hours of overtime every month. It was reported that by the time he came back home, he was sometimes so tired that he hardly had strength to carry his kid and just fell asleep. One day, he just collapsed and died of a massive heart attack.

My first reaction after hearing this piece of news was thinking of Sam who seemed to work equally hard. Well, my only advice : "Take it easy, don't work too hard but work smart". You know what, work can never be finished. You complete one, the next one is already there waiting for you.

Airport that Really Tests Your Nerve

Pilots who land on this airport must be really gutsy!

The other amazing thing is the massive car parks below the runway ! Truly an engineering marvel.
