After my graduation in 2016 from a Singapore university, I decided to give a try and look for a job outside Cambodia. But, home kept pulling me back, and opportunity for travel for work (not necessarily for leisure) kept pouring in. How could you refuse when it came knocking on your door? Fast forward to …
October was a crazy month, indeed. I spent a week in Boston attending Forbes summit 2017, and then flew to Bogota from there before flying back to the US to join a three-week IVLP program funded by the US State Department. I would like to thank everyone who’s been so generous as to have made …
I do not actually remember how I got around to conducting block teaching twice in Yangon, Myanmar, for the past two years to two batches of MBA candidates between 2016 (January) and 2017 (February). Myanmar has reportedly developed quite a lot, and I was fortunate enough to meet very bright Myanmar students and call them …
May and June were bitter and sweet. Bitter because I lost a travel blogger friend in an accident in a hotel in Indonesia. One of those few people that left unforgettable imprints in my mind. She was a little star and her passing left a big hole in our heart. I hope she’ll look back …

The forum is not exactly a new event that addresses Internet and access issues, its legality, and rights-related challenges, yet it is one of the most informative …
Everybody says that Sweden has one of the highest income taxes in the world and is one of the most expensive countries to live in. I experienced it first hand when I bought a few things from a small mart. I ended up paying a lot more than I usually did in Singapore. =)  But, I …
I was supposed to make this blog post in 2012, but I waited till 2015 to do this. Apologies to those who waited. A lot of my friends asked me how I got a chance to ride the chopper and go to the ship, and so this blogpost is only meant to shed light on the …
Studying is not one of those things that many people want to do, but it sure is one way to get to know the world better. Since early August, 71 classmates of mine from more than 30 countries and I have buried our heads in thin and thick books. There were times when assignments came …
