The funny thing about time and age is that the older you get, the more at peace you become with the fact that friendships, in real life, do not last forever. In fact, you may even walk past a person who once used to mean everything to you and you wouldn’t have even stopped to say hi. Continue reading
I just feel like sharing my thoughts on being courageous and fearless at this very moment – to gain the understanding that you can have all the great ideas in the world, but all ideas are free until you decide to act on them. Continue reading

After all that’s said and done, and you’ve finally decided to sweep the dust off cover of the books you’ve shelved away, the only thing you’ve accomplished is Staying Stagnant. If you’re constantly relying on the same ol’ solution to solve all your problems that fall within the same category, then if you’re being real with yourself, there has simply been no progress.

Every time you get through a relationship, another human being is involved. And because other humans generally have their own sets of thinking, core values and emotions, it can get sometimes get tricky to sail through these relationships. As the saying goes: You rather be happy alone than unhappy with someone else. The fact that such … Continue reading
The last straw came when I got a phone call I was not at all ready to take. What ensued can be lightly summed as a thunderstorm I wished had never happened – I felt emotions I didn’t usually feel, and said things I normally wouldn’t have said. Not my proudest moment, but it did happen… Continue reading

I could be generalising, and I don’t mean to be offensive – just speaking from personal perspectives: As a woman, I just need more attention. I don’t mean that we are screaming princesses who are constantly throwing tantrums. It’s just that we need to feel reassured, acknowledged and appreciated more often, and perhaps in a more apparent way than our male counterparts. I don’t know about you, but I find it hyper-frustrating that men and women resolve issues in such different ways, and this is expressed in the strengths and skillsets we generally exhibit.

People, just like you, are going to let you down. You’re going to sow into someone’s life so completely, and realise one day that it was a one-way street. That while you can choose to give unconditionally of your time and of yourself, it may just be an entitlemnet to someone else. So here are the questions I am going to ask myself from today onwards… Continue reading
I’ve been using Carousell since November of last year, and have been pretty much hooked ever since. As I just a few days shy of reaching my 5th month of officially being a Carouseller, I thought I’d be fun to write a tribute article to why I love being part of the Carousell community as much … Continue reading
The best advice I can give is really to just take it easy in our first few jobs. Most of us don’t end end up being the lucky few who hit the career jackpot and retire in the same company as the one they first joined. Also, you’ll be in for a rude shock when you realise amost nothing you learnt in university is applicable or that useful at work, and also that your “dream” job feels quite like one of the nightmares you only read/hear about.

I know everyone has different philosophies when it comes to running a business, or what kind of employee they want to be. I can go on for at least 100,000 words on the things I don’t agree with, but in the essence of time, here are just three that I really don’t get when it comes to the work place, with a focus on startups.

crazy curious.
