5 things I learned from Winning Through Intimidation
With such a strong title, you would be quick to dismiss this as an arrogant book that is teaching you to become one of those “people” who are willing to step on others to get what you want. Admit it, you thought that the moment you read that title. And you haven’t even read the book. Just goes to show how much we are willing to judge a book by its cover. But, let’s take a moment to peel it back and see what you can get from it.

Bayswater: Junior Tan
Junior Tan Menu
A recent addition to the suburb of Bayswater, this is the Malaysian the suburb needed to have.
Entering this place was beautiful. It used to be an old Nandos restaurant. I guess the place just couldn’t survive here. Not enough gym people. But I digress. Continue reading

Upcoming Events: Christmas in Melbourne 2014
The iconic Yarra River that runs through Melbourne
Things have been rather hectic for me but only because, as you’d know, I wrote about ‘what’s next’ and thanks to Stephen Covey, I’ve rewritten my eulogy. Scary, yes. But mortality is both a gift and a curse. Continue reading
Port Douglas: Old Train Tracks
Fine Dining into the sunset
In bygone days, Port Douglas was also a port and had to have many things be transported up and down from the water’s edge. As far as I was concerned, I had no idea what they could possibly used for when I first entered the place and saw those disused tracks along the main roads. But if you remember that “Journey of Discovery” aka my walk along the 4 mile beach that turned out to be an amazing half day adventure. Continue reading
