Growing up as an Asian Canadian in Toronto, there were a couple fundamental truisms that one had to live by:

1. All Asian guys drove Hondas

"IF YOU ARE THE ONE" - SPEED DATING @ DNM x ALIVENOTDEAD

LOVE.

The one thing, more than money, that everybody wants.

It has created generations and has brought down empires.

People fight and die for it.

Give a man riches but an empty house to live in, and he will be miserable.

Take away everything from a man but have someone care and believe in him, and he will be happy.

And to quote David Bowie:

 "The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love, and be loved in return."Read more

Suffice to say, this was a pretty exciting opportunity so I was really looking forward to what we could do.

NEW YEARS EVE 2008 : THE YEAR OF HONG KONG

2008...

Year's end is the time when we all get reflective and take stock of what we've achieved in the past 365 days, what we could have done better and what we've learned. 

Its funny that it takes this one little day for us to make promises to ourselves and say we will change and improve when really, this can be done on ANY day.  It doesn't take the end of an arbitrary "year" to make the changes we need and do the things we need to do TODAY.

When I first came to Ho...Read more
