1. Where are you right now?
In bed.
2. Where would you like to be right now?
Right here in bed XD
3. Where have you always wanted to visit (but have not yet)?
I've always wanted to see Hokkaido (Japan) but so far in all my travels to Japan, I have yet to step afoot on that northern island.
4. What is the most peaceful place you’ve ever visited?
I don't recall the name exactly, but in the South-South-Eastern corner of Germany, there's this town *goes look on the map now* called Berchtesgaden. From there we took a bus to the Koenigsee. Then we went on a boat to go... somewhere... there was a small chapel.... St Bartholomew or something... and from there we went up the mountains.... It was just before winter, so there was no snow, but the river had stopped already, so there was a wide expanse of the.... empty channel?...
5. Where do you want to visit in your dreams tonight?
I hardly dream nowadays, I just lie in bed, close my eyes, wait, and then I fall asleep... deeply, no dreams, and the next thing I know, it's 6.30am in the morning.

1. Recently, when did you consciously decide to MYOB?
I always just mind my own business. I guess that's what my boss likes about me. He can have some weird stuff going on and he tells me to get certain things done, he tries to explain in a convoluted way so I don't know what's going on, but then he goes all eee.... errr..... like he doesn't know what he's talking about... so I just say "cut the crap, I don't need to know the why, i just need clear instructions from you on what you want to be done and clear boundaries or limit" (such as budget limit or effort limit).
2. In what area of your life is KISS your guiding principle?
You cannot imagine how people like to make things complicated... like, just this morning, because our cleaner is coming, my Mom does a "round of cleaning, so the cleaner doesn't see we live like slobs" *rolls eyes*. Anyway, so she found a face mask and started asking around "to whom does this belong", everyone said it wasn't theirs. Yet, she goes around and asks everyone again. Well. Just chuck it out.
I also know the KISS principle is more about planning and doing stuff. Anyway, I always tell my team to forego the fancy technology and just keep things simple.
3. What caused you this week to LOL?
With Frankie the Frenchie, everyday is LOL day.
4. In the past several days, what’s the longest you were AFK?
Although it's away from keyboard, I'm understanding this to encompass the mobile phone as well, and quite frankly, I'm always at the keyboard. Longest I'm away is when I'm asleep, so, 6-7 hours. With my job nature, I have to be almost always connected.
5. Whom have you met IRL after being acquainted online?
I was just thinking about this girl the other day. While I've met several people IRL already, a couple days ago I suddenly thought about this... German-Chinese girl. I forget which of her parents is German and which is Chinese (Hong Kong Chinese). I just remember we used to email a lot, then one summer she went to Hong Kong, so off I went to Hong Kong to meet her. We spent the day chatting and going around... we walked from Mongkok or Prince Edward down along Nathan Road to Tsim Sha Tsui LOL... we were wild. As with many such friendships go, soon we lost touch from email and... I don't even remember her name.
