For almost 2 weeks now, Google has updated PageRanks of sites. The first time I saw the new PR, I thought maybe Google was just fooling with me. After 2 weeks, NicholasMOng.com is still on PR5 so that is good news. It took me less than 2 months to reach PR2 when I started this blog. I believe it reached a high of PR4 and suddenly dipped overnight to ...

So, I'm back here again. In many ways, with a lighter heart and in a more adventurous mood to explore. Work at the project office has started to take on a better shape and form or at least from my perspective. Most of the other teams are beginning to fall in nicely with all the little bits and pieces that will eventually form the larger picture. Though I ...

Ok, so it was a genuine oversight on my part about that 'private' post that turned out 'not-so-private'. I had marked the post as 'private' in my WordPress Dashboard. I didn't realise that as long as you are 'logged in', you will be able to read it. It slipped my mind to key in a password to protect the post. Well, all that has been fixed. As web ...

Seems that a private post wasn't as private as I thought it would be. Somehow, Feedburner sent out the post via email. Those who received it, pardon me. It was just me ranting off in my 'private' space that didn't quite... Oh boy... Ok, I got to figure this one out...

Took these on the flight back from Hanoi. You'd probably guessed how bored I was to be taking these. There were thoughts running through my mind as I looked out the window. The beach especially...

I brought a little something back from Vietnam on this trip. Guess who is this for? Don't be too smart about it though. I reckon that by the time I post this, I would have arrived in Singapore. My day started at 03:30hrs. Rose from bed and did the usual routine as I did every morning. The only difference this morning was I had to be ready ...

The weekend was rather quiet except for a rude wake up call I received at 02:00hrs on Sunday morning. Other than that, I'm glad most of the personal stuff have been sorted out. Good riddance really but I will not elaborate. It's my fourth week here and also my last day here; for now at least. I will be headed back home to Singapore tomorrow. I am looking ...

I'm not having the best week here in Hanoi. There are a lot of things on my mind. Mainly personal stuff. I did take some pictures of the Sword Lake when Tuan Anh and myself went to a cafe for drinks after lunch. It's a much smaller lake compared to the West Lake. It was nice and windy from where we were but the pictures are not of ...

It's been a relatively quiet week yet. I spent much of the weekend recuperating. Somehow, I found aspirin works better than paracetamol. Anyways, I have to give credit to the Halida beer too. Had 8 cans in the afternoon. that was enough to allow me some much needed sleep. I turned down GH's invitation to visit some museum somewhere. I figured it was best I rested in the ...

It's the first time I'm visiting Hanoi. Very different from places like Jakarta or Kuala Lumpur. On the streets, the main mode of transportation is by motorcycles. It is not uncommon to hear horns blaring every few seconds. Apparently the roads here are mostly on 2 lanes and even at cross junctions, there are no traffic lights. Horns become the main means of warning oncoming vehicles at every ...
