First of all, Happy Chinese New Year to one and all!
In what undoubtedly will be a trying year for us all, may we show the determination and tenacity of the bull! Never to yield! And to show courage in times of fear.
So anyway, I’ve actually just gotten back from a week of whirlwind travel around [...]

Last christmas, I wrote about me and huiwen travelling down to KL for our Nuffnang year end dinner.
Time flies when you’re having fun! And man, what a blast from the past! Oh, I wish I was back to my “not so fat” self!!!!

I’m one of those people who can’t stand being late for movies.
Besides the trailers, I don’t like missing the ads either. I don’t quite notice ads as much when I’m at home watching TV, I guess I kinda “switch off” (like my TV is on right now, but on mute) when the ads come on.
Anyway, [...]

A while back, I got a call from a client.
She rang me up and started,
“How was red cliff last night? Did you enjoy the movie?”
I sat up in my chair, thoughts racing through my mind. How did she know that I had caught that movie! Was she psychic or just stalking me!
She quickly explained,
“I was sitting [...]

One thing that I always do after making a new hire in Singapore, is to bring that person up to KL. To meet and bond with the the rest of the team.
The working environment at Nuffnang is one of the best I know of anywhere! Yes, we may not have the 11 free restaurants, car [...]

Nearly a year back now, in October of last year, a communications student from NTU approached me for an interview.
Now, you’d be surprised, as I still am today, but I get requests for interviews from students quite alot! From the polytechnics to the universities, I get emails and helpdesk tickets requesting interviews for projects and [...]

This post is long overdue, but Nuffnang Singapore has a new hire!
