Chasing the Wild Goose
May 23rd, 2011 
Diana I just came back from KL last night from a business trip. My colleague has collected the check from a client for badminton courts installed in KL. It was a mad frenzy to search for the office as we blindly followed our instincts. But alas, after 1 hour, I decided to call the client and [...]
Too much information on the Internet
February 6th, 2010 Diana I realized that I have put too much information on the internet. So I am trying to turn off my public profile lest some crazy jealous stalkers come near me.

Plus the fact that I had to find my own [...]
Time for Austerity Drive
October 30th, 2008 Diana I was talking to mum the other day about her shares dropping rock bottom and she is not too concerned about it – according to her, as long as she does not sell it, it is just paper loss and likewise if you make money but don’t sell your shares, it amounts to paper profit.

I was not born with a silver spoon in my mouth!
September 30th, 2008 Diana That phrase simply means I was not born rich! I come from a middle class family where my dad worked as a teacher in a Chinese remove classes and my mom helped in out in a family business that has since closed down years ago. With the little savings that we had, my parents could [...]
Windows XP is more stable than Vista
September 16th, 2008 Diana I am using Windows XP on my desktop and Windows Vista on my new laptop. After 2 months, I still prefer Windows XP as my operating system as I can also install other applications like Autocad Architectural Desktop 2005, WS-FTP, WinZip plus a host of other programs which I cannot install using Windows Vista. In [...]
