In remembrance

The frailty of human life is never more apparent than when it hits close to home.

Today, I received news that a colleague of mine – in fact, someone I reported to when I first came to Singapore – had passed away. Between the time when he showed signs of memory lapses, till when he was diagnosed with brain tumours, the final end was rather swift. It was all very sudden. And I didn’t even have the time to say goodbye or wish him luck, or something, before he went back to India for his treatment…

Dear friends, treasure every day, as if it were your last, for you may never live the same fleeting moment again.

GTD

It seems that with each passing day, there are more and more things to do/learn but we still have just the same (or seemingly less) number of hours available. I have recently “discovered” – not that this is a very new book by the way – David Allen’s “Getting Things Done” (GTD), so hopefully I can pick up some useful and practical habits to more efficiently manage my time. Here is a very succinct introduction at 43 folders with many useful links for those interested.

Recent gadgets

New acquisitions:

  1. A new 19″ widescreen LG Flatron (LG-194WT) LCD monitor to replace the trusty Viewsonic CRT monitor that I have been using for over 4 years. Time to retire it and reclaim my desk space…
  2. 5.5G 80GB Ipod to hold my entire Tango music collection!

Win or lose

Hard to believe?

To love and win is the best thing.
To love and lose, the next best.

William M. Thackeray, 1811-1863, English Novelist

Being "Horsey"

This quote came up in Quotations Page (because of the Quality Quotes plug-in I am using) and I knew I had to keep it here for posterity…

“Horse sense is the thing a horse has which keeps it from betting on people.”

W. C. Fields
