How often do you sit in a class of 56 people, among whom are people who are Olympians, rock stars in Austria, member of a family who owns 5% of the GDP of Portugal, and many of whom have started their own companies across the globe and made millions? And all of them, have distinguished themselves academically and done well in their GMAT to make it a top business school? Everyday. 

I know I've not been terribly enthusiastic about class, but today i was reminded why I am here. Every Monday and Friday, the class would take turns to talk about who we are and where we want to be. I've always been astounded by what some of my classmates have done.

In college, you see so much potential. But the amazing thing about doing a mid-career MBA program is that you not only their potential (which is literally boundless), but also their achievements. I am humbled. 

It also made me realise the power of dreams. Not many Singaporeans dream. But, as one of them put it today, "You can't have a dream come true, if you don't dream." Dream on!

Baby Benjy

So, confirmed boy. The doctor says. It's hard to describe how R and I felt when Dr Liu pointed to the scan and asked, "Did I already tell you about the sex of the baby? I said 80% chance boy? Well, confirmed boy ah!" I suppose at that point, being a Chinese doctor speaking to a Chinese, he was expectng me to jump for joy that the Lau family line is truly secure. After all, we have been calling the baby "Benjamin" for the longest time, haven't we?

Seeing that he was not going to get the Jump of Ecstatic Joy, he promptly took these two photos. "Wah, look at his arm ah. So strong! Just like a man. And his face, so good-looking ah? High forehead."

I smiled. Actually, I think having two sons, close in age, would be loads of fun. I just have to be realistic about having a quiet and peaceful home for some years! Looks like R and I will be getting some ear muffs and seriously child-proofing the home when we get back.
