Evening Primrose: May 2009
http://3veningprimrose.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 13, 2009. Letter to TODAY: Road to a solution? Wrote another letter to TODAY's editor. Letter was published on 14 May 2009. I refer to “7 in 10 killed on roads were jaywalkers” (May 13). I find this baffling. In less developed countries with relatively few pedestrian crossings and overhead bridges, the act of crossing a road is routinely performed by tens of thousands of people, including school children, with relatively few untoward incidents. Imposing a fine or a blanket ban on jaywalkin...

Evening Primrose: When s**t hits the fan
http://3veningprimrose.blogspot.com/2009/07/when-st-hits-fan.html
Thursday, July 30, 2009. When s* t hits the fan. It's a basic principle. When things go wrong and someone tells you about it, that person wants:. They are NOT asking for advice on how to solve the problem. That can come later. It's amazing how often people forget that. September 7, 2009 at 1:30 AM. Maybe they want to know that weve actually listened. youre right: no need to solve their problem for them. September 17, 2009 at 10:05 PM. 100% Agree LOL. The sense of security much more important.

Evening Primrose: Soft Skills vs. Hard Skills.
http://3veningprimrose.blogspot.com/2009/12/soft-skills-vs-hard-skills.html
Sunday, December 6, 2009. Soft Skills vs. Hard Skills. It's interesting that hard skills are considered better than soft, but when people go into management, it's the soft skills that . make the difference in career success." C. Thomas Howard, director of the M.B.A. program at the University of Denver, explaining in a New York Times story (23 Feb. 1997). That made my day. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Evening Primrose: November 2009
http://3veningprimrose.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 27, 2009. Glad, as His suns fly. Through the Heaven's glorious design,. Run, brothers, your race,. Joyful, as a hero to victory. Schiller, from Ode to Joy]. Last night's SSO performance of Beethoven's 9th Symphony must surely be the best SSO concert I have ever attended, and I am talking about almost 2 decades of being a regular of the orchestra. I am glad I managed to win the tickets from 92.4 FM as it was completely sold out as early as a month and a half before the concert date. Likew...

Evening Primrose: March 2009
http://3veningprimrose.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 26, 2009. Get creative, not suggestive? Here's another of my letters to TODAY newspaper, edited and sanitised. 11:58 AM March 19, 2009. Letter from Chen Khin Wee. I’D LIKE to think I am an open-minded man with a healthy sense of humour for the occasional risque joke. But being bombarded by “pornographic” suggestions while I was sitting on the MRT was less than appetising. Can the creative minds behind the advertising campaign come up with nothing better?

Evening Primrose: Unbelievable!
http://3veningprimrose.blogspot.com/2009/08/unbelievable.html
Thursday, August 6, 2009. As usual there was a long queue for bus 902, the shuttle to RP. Sure enough some kid would saunter up to their friend already in line, strike up a conversation, and then neatly inch his or her way into the queue. If the queue jumper is near enough, I usually reprimand them and they would slink to the back in shame and join the queue at the back. Today one girl cut into the queue right in front of me and started talking to the person immediately ahead of me. Got such thing, ah?

Evening Primrose: January 2009
http://3veningprimrose.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 28, 2009. Singaporeans are very good at doing but not at reflecting." This was the gist of what the visiting professor was purportedly to have said. According to my tutor, the statement was met with stony silence from the Singaporeans present in the meeting that day. While I think this may be an overstatement, I do believe on the whole majority of Singaporeans, indeed, South East Asians, tend to value action above reflection. Think so much for what? Wait," I would cut in. "I want t...
