Beyond all reasonable doubt

I watched the first half of last weekend's game against Spurs, then was on the phone in the other room for the rest of the second half.

Fact or fiction?

Be the inscrutable Asian

Sometimes, I wish I was more like the stereotypically stoic, unreadable Asian. Anyone can read me like a book - which is why I don't play poker. =)

I didn't even realise it, but the recent late nights at work+ being in some situations where I really wanna strangle some people have ended up written all over my face.

Be stronger.

--------------------------

I heard an interesting insight into the male-female psyche last night. Men like being asked "how" questions, while women much prefer the "what", "why" and "who". Apparently we guys like our egos stoked while the sheer number of "w"-questions reassures women that we're interested in the relationship.

Quite true.

I was reminded this week at work that teaching is sometimes the best way to learn. One of the big things that attracted me back to where I work is the culture of mentorship. L*ee Meng, M*elvin, SS, and now the team I work with are never hesitant to share their opinion on what works/doesn't work.

More than that, they try to make sure that you understand a task and the bigger picture, and take the time to do so. Perhaps I've been guilty of not doing the same with the interns. So I'll try to make a conscious effort starting from next week.
