Many of you know that I am a professor at UNSW Sydney. Many of you also know that I'm an Ironman tri-athlete. I finished Ironman race 3 times in the past 5 years. As a scientist, I'm always amazed how human body works and how amazing we can use our body to achieve seemingly impossible... Continue Reading →
Spending Time Alone After Dark
I always enjoy reading before bedtime. It can be 10 minutes and sometimes stretches to more than an hour. If my wife goes to bed around the same time as me, we also chat about many things we don't have time to discuss during the day. It is such a precious time that my wife... Continue Reading →
How to Land a Dream Job?
I occasionally help clients looking for a job or switching to a new position in my coaching services. I don't prioritise this service in my coaching services because 1) there are heaps of 'tips' on the Internet, and 2) each person's situation is different, so coaching for interviews or CV preparation needs to be customised...

Small Win & Celebrate
All project managers know that the success of a big project is a compilation of small wins; when small tasks are done on time and well, you will achieve your goal on time.

Challenge yourself- Part II- Can you swim 6km?
(I got my 6km swim badge in February 2017. I just received my winter swim badge last week for swimming at least 20 times during the winter season.) I never thought I could swim 6km in the ocean. Can you? I'm fond of sports and I like swimming, but I never tried long-distance swimming until... Continue Reading →
Why don’t you change and upgrade to life v2.0?
(pic: what a lovely day @ Sydney Harbour) You must have come across many 'chicken soups' through social media. They are great, informative and persuasive, but have you adopted them; any of them? If you have effectively adopted some of them, then your life, career or health will definite improve. No doubt. I spent the... Continue Reading →
Things you don’t want to regret before you die
(Pic: part of my calendar last week: blue ones are my first priority and yellow ones are the second priority. Other priority items were not shown here.) Let's fast forward your life to the last few hours. Sad, I know but believe me, you will see why we do this 'sad exercise' in a minute.... Continue Reading →
