I’ve heard so much about Vegas and I’ve watched CSI and many other movies, set in this colourful city. This is the first time I am here and when people asked me, “so, how was it? Exciting!!??”
Sure! It was really exciting for about two days then I started to dread being here. If not for [...]
What would you do if you were given $US 10 million as marketing/ communications budget to create a newsworthy event that will attract the attention of global media? Do what Fendi did!
Two months ago, the Italian luxury brand became the first to hold a runway show on the Great Wall of China. According to Vogue, [...]
When I went to the doc to get the flu and Hep A/B jabs, she sent me home with packs of pills after knowing that I have to take a 16-hour flight. Usually, I am not a big fan of long haul flights but this time, I am looking forward to the trip to San [...]
Hosay Lah! where “Hosay” (in Hokkien) means Good! And very good indeed was last evening’s event at The Substation, celebrating their 10th Anniversary of Moving Images.

This morning, Walter, the Communications Director of the National Heritage Board (NHB) was sharing with me a new initiative that they are rolling out.
I am one of those who had always think of museums and anything that has the word “heritage” as “boring and old”.
So, imagine my surprise when I first met Walter at [...]
library@orchard (pt 2)
In less than two weeks, the library@orchard will ceased operations, the books will be re-distributed to other libraries and the space that the library currently occupies will be rented out to other tenants. Taking a quick look at the other tenants beside and around the library, the space will probably be used for [...]

I have not been writing much lately (the last post was written 31st October) although I’ve been replying people who dropped their comments. I’ve been trying to finish up various events in my current company, take a break and start my new job! Thank you all my dear friends and blog [...]
I have no intention to blog today, I need to watch this addictive tv series but as I was glancing through my RSS feeds, I read my favourite author, David Meerman Scott’s really interesting blog post and thought I’ll share it here…
Titled “How to recruit great speakers for your conference (and avoid the terrible ones)” [...]
Being a professional PR person who spent a lot of my time organising big events, I must say the folks at The DigitalMovement (TDM) put together a decent event last Thursday evening. The success of an event often lies in the quality of its speakers and the audiences. The other element is what i called [...]
Four highlights for the weekend:
1) MY NEW BOOKS
A quick visit to the bookstore today and I came home with two new books
Think ASEAN! by Philip Kotler, who believes that ASEAN has tremendous untapped potential to become a highly energetic and profitable market and shows case studies on how companies go about penetrating this region.
The Diamond [...]
Three quick interesting posts I picked out for the day-
1) Steve Rubel thinks Geek Marketers are the next BIG thing! And I can see that happening, even in the little island here in Singapore. I know of a few such people here who fit the role Steve described, perfectly.
2) Next, I read with interest, [...]
On 1 and 2 August, I attended the PR 2.0 conference cum workshops organised by the Institute of Public Relations of Singapore (IPRS).
Many people, including colleagues and blogger friends asked me what i thought about the conference, so here're some general thoughts…
Great Speakers
There were a couple of really great speakers including Mitch Joel , Christopher Graves [...]
I meant to write about a social networking client of mine in more details but for now, read John P. Mello (former managing editor of the Boston Business Journal)'s comments about the cool site. The young 26 years old CEO, R. Chandrasekar is current speaking at the Mashup 2007
I shall put up more information very [...]
This weekend is really interesting and enjoyable. This entry is to remind me that I have wonderful people around me!
Saturday with Kevin
I have been raving about Kevin and that is simply because he is highly entertaining, very intelligent and somehow we “clicked!”. I have been rather anti-social after office hours for a few years now. I have always [...]
