A wonderful Christmas 2013 morning that started with REM and the classic Guns n' Roses and Metallica!!! I feel like blasting the house down with the rocking and melodious guitar. If not for trying to be considerate to our neighbours, I would love to tear the walls down with the screeching Axl Rose and the heavy Metallica durm and bass. heee... . Well, every time I play GnR , it seems that I have to play Metallica too. I duno why. It seems or feel to be me that both of them have to be played before or after one another. And of coz, they always bring back my school hood days memories.
Btw, thank you Adrian Ong for introducing Bad Religion rocking Christmas song!

Are You Afraid to Fail
Recently I had read an article on Today: All S’pore has to fear is the fear of failure by Julian Persaud. He had pointed out that Singaporean are afraid to fail. I agreed with him. Or perhaps should I say many people around the world are afraid to fail.
In my opinion, as the early days of Singapore was very tough, the elder's advise for the young was that one would or could only be successful in his career is by studying hard, get a degree and get a professional job. Do not rock the boat and you will reach the goal safely. This safety approach is not wrong. I suspect the play it safe belief had influenced our personality subconsciously. This culture had sunken into us for decades and had affect us in our career, business decision, innovation ideas or decision making. Many prefer to stay put rather facing failure. Many prefer the tried-and-tested formula rather than facing a backfire. If you say that you wana set up a business, many will frown or say no-no. Many will think you are building castle in the air. I remember few years ago, an army friend told me he is afraid to to set up a business. So I ask him,"What are you afraid of?". He replied,"He is scare to fail." I am sure many share his fear. Many fear losing their hard earned money, time, effort and pride. Some even fear losing behind their peer groups. Many graduate will stick to their well paid white collar job. But nowadays, the word Entrepreneur had became a trendy buzzword. Secondary student to graduate wana become an Entrepreneur. Haa... now many young people wana sell from clothes to fashion accessories, cupcakes to cakes, cafe to restaurant, etc. But many are still playing safe by choosing the formula that other people had tried. Well, on the positive note, it is still a step forward to face failure.
I admire embrace the failure spirit of Silicon Valley. They seems like a charging bull with full of passion. Never fear failure. They believe failure is a step forward. As long as you learn from the lesson you are gearing towards success. They take failure as a learning curve to success. I believe it is this culture that bring them so many success and innovation that shake the world up. I believe great leader or entrepreneur have this no-fear attitude.

Many Changes... .
Hi there,
Here I am again. Yeah, it had been a long while I last blog in 2011.
Events changes quickly since last year, ever since June 2012.... .I got my house. I got married. And I got a baby now. All these happy events unfold pretty fast and perhaps too quickly for me to grasp. Of course, I am very happy with all these. It is just that I don't have time to sit down and ponder. One thing led to another.
Oh yes. There are changes at my beloved Liverpool Football Club as well. Hee... Liverpool FC had brought in a new manager, Brendan Rodgers. So far I am happy with his results. Currently, Liverpool FC sit at 2nd position, with 2 points behind leader Arsenal. Wowww... I can't remember when is the last time Liverpool had been in the top 3 at this time if the year.
Hope everything continue to went smoothly.
Cheers :)
