My CEO Journey

2021 is the year those born in 2000 are 21 years old. As a 1980s being, it's like 2 generation from me, and yes, it's time for the 2000s to make waves, just like decades back, it was the 1980s making waves, and in recent years we see the waves made by those born in the 1990s. I wouldn't be surprise to have a 1990s being my manager or superior. Behold, but... Hey, 1980s folks, if you feel your time of the life is over, it's not. Definitely not. It is newsworthy if you are successful at young age. But doesn't mean achieving later in life is anything less. Anyways, there can be fireworks at anytime in your life, you just need to put in the effort and believe in yourself. Oh, yeah, I am doing something crappy (ops, I mean really interesting to me). Launching in July (or when I am done whichever is later). So if you are interested or only if you are interested, do subscribe here . Thanks for reading!

This is my first ever quarter review for the blog. I seldom do quarter reviews. Truth is, there isn't a lot to talk about on what I have done in a quarter. This year is a bit different. In the beginning of the year, I talked about my aspiration for this year -- which is to do nothing . Actually, it wasn't really doing nothing. It's more of doing things only if I feel like.

But anyways, for a long time I guess I won't need to go overseas. I rediscovered that there is just too much, and so much to see and do back home, in Sunny Island Singapore. And aren't there a lot of similarities in the places of interest wor

It's first April, but this is no April fool joke. My friend recently shared with me the Paycut she was subjected to when she took childcare leave. For parents of Singapore citizen, you get 6 days ( per parent) if your child is less than 7 years old and you have worked with your employer for at least 3 continuous months. If your youngest child is between 7 to 12  years old, you get 2  days per parent. More information, see the official website from Ministry of Manpower here . As typical corporate warrior, my friend takes childcare leave before annual leave. Well, childcare leave cannot be brought over to next year and cannot be encashed ( if your company allows encashment of leave). So as usual, she took her childcare leave first before annual leave. However, last month, she noticed that her pay was cut...  Well, her pay was cut not because of her company, not because of anything that she did at work. Rather it was because... Of another clause in childcare leave. If you have 6 days
