I spent 3hr writing the blog posts for the past 2 weeks, suddenly the computer froze and I had to restart. Word periodical auto-save helped recover most of the writing yet I couldn’t simply overwrite the older file. I saved it as a different file and deleted the older version. Not sure what happened, the …

New Norm
Covid-19 has changed the business operation, organizational structure, and resource allocation. It’s not easy to carry out big projects with reduced resources yet we successfully delivered the milestone feature FR recently while preparing teams and partners for the changes. Moreover, we continue pushing the bar higher; next project will be another breakthrough in a new …
Change it Up
I haven’t taken any day off this year. Due to Covid-19, I’ve cancelled my March trip and have been working from home since March. If not going anywhere, why waste vacation days to stay at home? Yet the good news is that many of the physical events have moved online and become free. I came …
Come Out
I walked after dinner around the neighborhood. It’s cool and refreshing air after the rain and birds are singing all over yet I heard ACs running in several houses. Come outside, open the window, and you’ll see a different world~

I googled and found the purple ball is called Allium, also known as “ornamental onions”. The pink heart …
Happy Mother’s Day
Happy Mother’s Day to the smart, caring, and dedicated women. Whether we have children, each of us has touched many lives. If we can be a good boss, mentor, teammate, friend, neighbor, or simply a good person is a positive contribution to the world!
Would it be Great if
I joined The Leadership for Women Forum , a free webinar by Sister Sister Network, a community in UK that promotes gender equality through leadership skills training and networking events. We had attendees joining from different countries. Covid-19 has brought many events online and made the world even ‘smaller’, there is always bright side of …
Graduation Comments
Sister shared with me C (her daughter)’s graduation comments that she thanked her teachers and classmates as 貴人VIP in her life to teach, encourage, accommodate, and bring joy to her. It’s incredible how eloquent a 12 years ago can express herself and more importantly, the gratitude and positivity she possess. Those qualities will serve her …
