12 Aug - 9th Sept 2012 I didn't realized I still put this post in the draft...what a career highlight that should be recorded!! It was sudden. 4 weeks of business trip to Sydney for coverage and staff training! What more should I ask for! Sydney air is fresh, sky is blue, weather is cold and sometime windy in August. Fraser Suites is great and spacious! It was the great explosure from career and also from the sports I like. My first time to work oversea, knowing how the sports in everyone bloodstream, they cycle to work, go running or gym during lunch, run or cycle back home, swim training is like their daily meal, Thursday shopping day, Friday afternoon start drinking, weekend morning training follow by brunch and cup of coffee, Sydney coffee is surprisingly great with strong Italian influrences no wonder Starbucks failed. Joining vladswim every Tue, Thur,  5pm off from work, 6pm already in the water, feeling was surreal! Mon, Wed I'd go running at Botanic Garden and the Domai...

Mental Toughness Mental Toughness I was recently asked how it is that athletes can drag themselves through unrelenting physical and mental suffering in events such as the mountain stages in the Tour de France. This topic came up when French rider Thomas Voeckler was trying to get the polka dot jersey and then retain it on two back-to-back stages with several challenging climbs during long rides in the Pyrenees. This reminded me of a paper published in the Harvard Business Review a few years ago (Jones, 2008). In it the author reported on studies of Olympic medalists and successful business people which revealed the following characteristics which may be defined as subsets of mental toughness. He wrote that the interviewees were found to: have the ability to psychologically manage pressure pay meticulous attention to goals have a strong inner drive to stay ahead of the competition be internally rather than externally focused be self-directed concentrate...

The Lapel Buttonhole Posted on March 29, 2012 4 If your dinner jacket was constructed without a lapel buttonhole and you wish your tailor to add one so that you may sport a boutonniere (which the British confusingly also call a “buttonhole”), you have a couple of options. You can get a keyhole shaped opening like the ones used for the jacket’s waist and sleeve buttons or you can get a straight hole like the one shown here. Some will argue that the latter is a mark of a better suit but the fact is that both styles are used by quality suitmakers. Therefore it’s a matter of personal preference. I’m partial to the inconspicuousness of the straight option given the very visible placement of the hole high up on the chest and (usually) surrounded by satin. Also, whether your buttonhole is original or “after market” (as automotive enthusiasts would say), consider having a thread added behind the lapel to hold the flower in place. A more fussy alternative is a minature boutonniere hol...

It has been a very tough few months for Yvan and his family, massive campaign are in place for the search of compatible bone marrow, 1/5000 chance for Casuisian and 1/50000 chance for non-Casuisian. I hope you can find the right one, and fight over it! I have no religious belief but this word come to my mind 'You do the best, god do the rest.' Bonemarrowhk.blogspot.com Good luck my friend!
