This is for you.
This is for your beliefs and your ideals
and may you keep faith with them.
This is for love
and joy
and mirth
and happiness
and everything else that makes you smile
because it's really for you.

My Reading List
Tash Aw: The Harmony Silk Factory
Rings a chord of memory of growing up in Malaya, familiar stories told by my father and mother. Sad, frustrating, earthed.- Cameron S Redfern: Landscape With Animals
Sexy, painful, sad, happy, passionate. - Nils-Goran Olve, Jan Roy and Magnus Wetter: Performance Drivers
Probably the best explanation of the Balanced Scorecard in practical use I have ever read Julian Barnes: Arthur & George
A brilliantly written, sometimes frustrating mystery novel. Frustrating because the racism desplayed is so "normal" but aching so that you want to scream "enough" and put the book away but you are compelled to read it all.A C Grayling: The Mystery of Things
Such a collection of essays on subjects ranging from Art to Goethe to Archaeology, all in the context of human genius and within the (general) borders of philosophyMichael E. Gerber: E-Myth Mastery
I read "The E-Myth Revisited" years ago when I was building my first business. As I developed my own concepts to use in business consulting I drew on many of the concepts originally espoused in that book. Now as I build my second business I read this new book with an interest to see if it takes me further again.Amy Tan: Saving Fish From Drowning
My favourite overseas Chinese author. I'm a great fan of The Kitchen God's Wife and The Joy Luck Club and the way she catches Overseas Chinese families' nuances, accents and lives- Cameron Forbes: Hellfire: The Story of Australia, Japan and The Prisoners of War
A harrowing read of the WWII POW camps. I'm really interested in Australian history, my adoptive country, particularly in the way it interacts with Asia. Unfortunately a lot of the interaction in the past seems to have been involving war or some sort of negativity. Kevin Keeffe: Paddy's Road: Life Stories of Patrick Dodson
An emotional read, particularly as Pat is a friend. I'm proud to have a signed personal message in my copyJ.R.R. Tolkien: The Lord of the Rings
My 26th Annual Reading. Since introduced to it by Jane in High School I have read it every year, and watched the trilogy of movies about as many times since they came out!- Jim Baker: Crossroads: A popular history of Malaysia & Singapore
Bought in Singapore while there, interesting to catch up with Malaysian/Singapore history in context. There is a lot I remember from being a child in Malaysia, and it's interesting to see my experiences in a historical context.
My CD List
- Choir of Westminster Cathedral: Miserere: Sacred Choral Music
- Gorecki: Symphony No 3
