So about the most inspirational thing that happened all week for me was being able to listen to Troy Chin , who had dabbled in everything from communications and finance the NYC music industry and is now back in SG working on his comic (!!).

And I guess I was rather (pleasantly) astounded at the flip side of life in NYC that he talked about. Especially appealing was that the city embraced all sides of living. The one that we all know is that the City Never Sleeps. ( but you don’t have to be in New York to do that, just ask any undergrad at SMU. hoho). No, what really caught my fancy was the quiet aspect of life that one could choose to subscribe to as well. Now that really floats my boat.

I think there is nothing more perfect than having the chance to work purely from home, coming out only if neccessary to negotiate. and having the time to think..think.. and create. That would be just heavenly.

And of course the other juicy glam tidbits about the NYC music industry. And the debate about talent ( will it ever end? ) I love the constant jibs about the no lifer IBs… but I think, to each his own! Some people just like to accumulate possessions for the heck of it, rather than for their own personal consumption, and who are you to judge them for it? Even worse is when you laugh at them but secretly wish you had shitloads of money…so you can do the things you want? Get real. Most likely the drive for money would end up controlling you, rather than you controlling the money. tough, isn’t it? such is life.
