Business. Relationships. Love. Life.

And don’t ever let anyone tell you differently. The part-time program in HKUST is 24 months versus the full-time’s 16 months, and yet the difference couldn’t be any more starker. The difference lies not in the quality of education as we do share many of our best professors, nor is it in the school facilities […]

I’m a bit tired on being in front, where I’m exposed and waiting for people to say things about me. Why is it that people judge you so harshly when they themselves refuse to put themselves in your shoes. “She is competitive, aggressive and I dislike her,” they’d say amongst themselves. Well, if they are […]

Question: What happens if you ever piss off the professor before he gives you a final grade? Answer: You never do that. If there’s a lesson you should learn, DON’T DO IT. Before the grades had been released, smile, listen and just keep your damn shut. Otherwise, the result will be the same: A major […]

What’swrong with not wanting to have kids? 🙁 Yesterday’s dinner conversation gradually revolved around childbearing given that I’ve met up with two of my old high school friends last weeknd. One was already a mom to a smiling 10-month old toddler, while the other is a soon-to-be mom of a hopefully healthy baby boy. I […]

Life isn’t really that rosy with Trader. Not that he’s not great because he is (for example, everyone’s who seen his photo knows that he’s Mr. Nice Guy and is dying to introduce him to their single girlfriends), but maybe, everyone has their own quirks that we all need to take it. For example, I […]

“Clothes make the man,” a famous saying once said. “And it’s true, people judge us from what we wear.” People who know me see that I dress a tad sexier than other women especially in the weekends. To be honest, a quarter of my life in controlled bondage from a super-conservative upbringing meant that from […]

Guys, take out your wallets so women can women bask in the company of overpriced dinners, dark candlelights and 99 gazillion blood-red roses so that you can get hot and heavy tumbles in the sheet later that evening. Thank your lucky stars if no gifts are expected, which means that you can at least narrowly […]

by January 2010. Oh my gosh, as if things cannot get any worse. My landlord sold my apartment without even consulting me! I accidentally bumped into the brand-new owner today in the elevators. “My parents bought it for me because I wanted to move out and they’d rather have me upstairs (they lived on the […]

Let me be honest here, the scenario here stinks. People on the street are blaming those in Wallstreet for their problems. They think we must have sprouted horns or something. “It’s not our fault that the economy is sinking! It’s those $*#(@*#)@ bankers that’s at fault and they’ve gotten (*#@*&#@#@ millions of dollars in bonuses! Let […]

One depressing thing about being in a new country is that you have no one to spend Christmas with. No lover, no friends, no company, nada. Come to think of it, I’ve never really spent Christmas cuddled up with someone, and this is not the year I’d expect this to happen. Actually, I should cry […]

Everyone is afraid of the next redundancy exercise that’s coming in January. Imagine that, you’re tanned and toned from your Christmas vacation, only to find yourself axed with a small package to support you in the long job-searching months ahead in one of the worst economic environments. Not the warm welcome you expect, yes? My […]
