During the past few weeks, I didn’t have a lot of time to test things in my SharePoint VM or on Office 365 and write about it, as my wife and I had our Chinese Wedding Dinner end of November. As we’ll be going on our honeymoon tonight, there probably won’t be any new articles …

When I started reading Successful Project Management: Applying Best Practices and Real-World Techniques with Microsoft Project, I was actually a bit confused for a short while. The reason? I was expecting to read about how to do project management with Microsoft Project, but instead there was nothing about it at all. And why so? Because …

I honestly have to say (and I doubt that anyone who knows me would disagree), I love my Kindle! To the extent that my beloved better half called it my second wife (or also mistress….jokingly, of course!). It has become my daily companion, coming with me nearly everywhere. But why did I get it?

After nearly 2 years and 4 months with my current company, I will start working for another one here in Singapore from mid-January onwards. I definitely learned a lot during my employment here at my current company, and gained a lot of experience in different fields. It was a great work environment, with great colleagues …

Last weekend, I bought a 0.38x converter lens for just $5 at the ‘Thieves Market’ (you could say it’s a flea market). Naturally, it isn’t worth much more than those $5…. Today, I bought a step-down ring to be able to add it onto my existing 14-45mm lens, and went towards the Boat Quay area …

Looking at my life, I have to say that I can’t be much more happy with it than right now, and I am really thankful for a lot of things and thankful to a lot of people. I have a wonderful family who always supported me, and helped me get to where I am now. …

In life, we have different goals. Some are short-term goals that we want to achieve soon, others are goals that we want to reach after a longer period of time. Our goals also have different priorities, some are more desirable than others. As for me, I have 3 goals that are very important to me …
