Indeed, these are financial times. Trading with a demo account over the past few months have been exciting, educative and an eye opener in more ways than one for me. From placing a trade and watching the market go in unpredicted directions to managing positions to making and losing money have stirred up a range […]
Life goes on…
I recently came back from a tour of South East Asia. My route was London to Singapore to Kuala Lumpur to Manila for 10 days to see family and friends. Had a great night out with an old buddy and his friends, hung out with my only sister and her husband and then with my […]

Two sides of the same Coin…
On the tube the other morning, I noticed a mother with a few bags on her surrounded by 3 kids. It seemed they were just back from shopping and trying to settle down in the carriage to quickly have a bite. She opened snack packs for the older boys and put her daughter on her […]

Reinventions…
I can’t remember when exactly I started to realize my mom wasn’t the cutest girl but it must have been in my early teens. This was when I fell in love with curves; provocative girls from all over the world in sensual poses on glossy paper really tickled my fancy. And of course, the amazing […]

Double Trouble…
Last Saturday, I took my god daughters out; one is 6 and the other is 9 years old. As you can imagine, this was new for me and I felt a bit of anxiety as I drove to pick them up. At their request, we ended up at the O2 Center to see Inside Out in […]

Curiosity…
This morning I was on the tube into work. It was rush hour so pretty packed as you can imagine. Few minutes after getting on board, I noticed a little girl standing in the corner with her mother. She was dressed up for school and had a little croissant in her hand. She ate into […]

For those who haven’t seen it; the message here is simply the emotional pain on the part of a mother […]

Living is Working…
I’ve been to the dentist about three times in the last two months and I have to say, it’s not fun! I think I’ve got good teeth and feel a recent need to check them as I accept I’m growing older. I’m discovering maybe not because my dentist sees everything and advises me of root […]

Look but don’t touch…
It’s part of company culture where I’m currently working to celebrate Fridays. The morning is filled with Happy Friday greetings, big smiles and conversations on weekend plans. We also tend to treat ourselves to breakfast out as a reward for a good job over the week. Like is popularly believed, treating yourself right is important for self-confidence! […]

Similarities, diversity and happiness…
One school of thought suggests that our childhood plays a significant role in our lives as adults. Looking back on mine, I’m grateful for the exposure I had and I believe this keeps me yearning for more today. I write this in reference to places, people and events; the appreciation of diversity. I have travelled […]

Thinking about time…
The past is not the future. There is a clear difference between the two, just like night is from day….it’s important to consider this. The past may be understood by memories, scars and general present trends……yet these are measurements and reflections of what has happened and not necessarily predictions of what will happen. They will […]
