Dear Readers I am pleased to present my latest and last article from the Perth Woman magazine. My contract with the magazine has expired and I have decided to look for an alternative avenue for my writing release. I am however very happy with the content of this last article which I believe is very close to the heart of my many readers. The question is : What are my...

I survived the CEO Sleepout on 17 June 2010. It was held at the WACA. I have to confess that I was quite worried  that it would be difficult. The first thing I did was to borrow a good sleeping bag from Pierre Yang, a lawyer who works for me. Getting ready for the night, I decided that I needed a good dinner before going to the WACA. At 5...

Dear Readers Yes, the momentum is gathering. I have raised $2600 in 3 days. I am ranked 11 on the list of fund raisers compared to the other fund raisers who have had more time to raise funds. I am  very happy with the support and response received so far. More importantly, the messages of support shows that Perth people have a heart. A heart to help the homeless. Please...

Dear Readers As you are aware if you have been following my blog, we have moved to Terrace Rd. However, I am always reminded of my old office at Wellington St. It has an external toilet. One day, I found a homeless person sleeping there. He would come in after dark and leave the toilet in the morning when the staff arrived. He must have been sleeping there for over...

Not everything that was designed by the fit out contractor, Interarch Homes, has been finished, but we are nearly there. The move took place on 4th June 2010 with all staff lending a hand. We look forward to seeing...

Yes, we did it today. 4th June 2010 was the move from Wellington St to Terrace Rd East Perth. My Feng Shui master, Kieran Ohara advised me that I am to start operations at the new office on 5th June 2010 which is an auspicious day. So, the whole office staff was mobilised to shift everything within a day and to get ready for business tomorrow. It was sad to...

Dear Readers If you have been to the Cocos Keeling Islands, you will know what an amazing place it is. I was on the Island for an unfair dismissal case last Tuesday. I acted for the Cocos Island Co-operative  Society ("Co-op") and was instructed by an old friend Ron Grant who is the Co-op's manager. The Co-op is wholly owned by the local residents of the Cocos Island Malay population....

Hey,  you feel it when you are getting old. Just turned 49 a few days ago. Also realised that on 3 March 2010 I have been practising for over 20 years. That is a long time in dog years. Pierre, a lawyer in my practice ( I am his mentor) bought me and the rest of the staff a cake to celebrate. Nice touch. So, do I feel like an...
