2020 in review

I can describe 2020 best in three words: Appreciation. Realisation. Determination. A year of your life is a chapter. I tend to be brutally honest with each chapter of my life that concludes. Admittedly, by far, I happen to conclude positive chapters where I feel I have made good progress on many fronts. 2020, however, …

24 Hour Internet Ban – Every Week

Late last year, around late November, there was a new trend afloat around within my crew. Internet ban for 24 hours.  From seven of us in the crew, one had been toying with the idea to self-impose an Internet ban for at least 24 hours during the week, or rather, for one full day and …

Am I Charlie? The Problem of maintaining a moderate view

[Author] ‘Je suis Charlie’ – I am Charlie – is the rallying call in Europe and even around the world but … am I Charlie? Can I really identify with the men who died and what they stood for? And if not, then who do I identify with? We were all, quite understandably, shocked and …

Malaysia Airlines MH370: Jet mystery – how can a plane vanish?

How can the Malaysia Airline 370 simply vanish? Aircraft such as this, the boeing 777, has an excellent safety record and is full of electronic equipment to tell the ground where it is, even in distress.  It amazes me, that so far despite searching for so long by so many different agencies from so many …

This part of my life is called ‘Rules Of Engagement’

Ever since I was a child, the one thing I was good at or rather ‘extremely’ good at was to get myself organised and ready for obstacles of tomorrow.  I was good at preparing myself, in all forms, for the future, especially in the face of new and different challenges presented to me and at …

Me, Her and Him – The Enemy From Within

I felt somewhat mortified and disgruntled after receiving those texts from RHK*, not to mention livid and extremely revengeful (catch up with the previous chronicles here).  How dare he, out of all the people, get involved in my affairs and tell me to back off. His actions didn’t surprise me, although at the time a …

The Apprentice 2013 on BBC One – Series 9: Part 3 of 14

Last week we were truly spoilt by Lord Alan Sugar.  Not only did we get to see the first episode of this year's The Apprentice a day early (on a Tuesday) we were overdosed by the second episode the following day (Wednesday) - thus sending the blood pressure of us The Apprentice addicts into dangerous …

Are you ready...?  I know I am.  The Worlds UK’s best business minded people are ready to fight for Lord Alan Sugar’s £250,000 investment.  If you’re clever enough - the banks would probably give you more with a good-sound business plan and save you a life-time of embarrassment but then again Series 9 kicks off …
