Little piggy land
Everyone seems to want to see piggy… Isn’t he the sweetest!
Everything I learnt about business I learnt from Poker
That plug was by Tony Hsieh and he owns Zappos.. so.. This is a shameless plug for a friend who has written an excellent eBook called “Winning Tournament Poker” which teaches people how to win in tournament poker in just under five hours, and his site is here and his eBook is sold here. Why …
Everyone, meet Piggy
Lately I’ve been incredibly busy, there are many changes in life which I might (or might not) blog about. To cut a long story short, life is short (as you know from my Christmas post), so… I am now the proud owner of a little pig. Piggy is one of the new additions in my …
Little Holland

In Singapore for CNY
After settling my passport / driving license / and other what-have-yous I finally have time to blog. Anyway, I’m back in Singapore for Chinese New Year, the first time since three years I’m actually back!
