The Celes Show EP1: Singlehood and Dating

Me interviewing Violet Lim, highly sought-after dating expert

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! In conjunction with V-day, I have decided to cover the topic of Singlehood and Dating in the first episode of The Celes Show. And it’s finally up! Check it out here: EP1: Singlehood and Dating. I had lots of fun doing this episode and really look forward to more to come. Feel free to share your feedback in the comments area!

Articles Concept Map

2 weeks ago, I asked you for your thoughts on how I can improve The Personal Excellence Blog. One of the readers, aegil, suggested I use a concept map. A concept map is like a mindmap diagram that shows the relationship among different items. It’s much useful than using archives listing (sorted by date of article) or a categories listing because it shows the hierarchy and interlinking relationships among the articles.

I thought this was a brilliant idea, so I took some time out yesterday to design a Concept Map for the blog. Check out the end product here (Java support needed):

The legend is provided inside. Have fun reading the articles! The map will be updated over time as more articles are added.

Thanks aegil for your wonderful idea!

PS: The software I used is FreeMind. Check it out if you are interested in doing mind mapping for your personal use. It’s great!

My Upcoming Talkshow – The Celes Show

The Celestine Chua Show

Hey guys! If you have been following my Twitter and Facebook updates, you would know that I have been working on the conceptualization and production of my talkshow lately. If you recall, I first shared the idea of the talkshow with all of you in one of my entries last Nov. In the entry, I shared the following:

A few weeks ago, I was just thinking about the developments thus far since I started pursuing my passion last year. I started off with the blog in Dec ‘08, expanded to 1-1 coaching officially in March ‘09, followed by speaking after that. Just last month, I began to actively give workshops, reaching out to people on an even broader scale. Regional expansion is in the plans for the next year, followed by intentional expansion.

Why I Parted Ways With My Best Friend of 10 Years

Have you ever had a friendship which you were ready to let go?

I have. It was with one of the closest friends I have ever had – someone whom I’d refer to as K. K and I knew each other for 10 years and were best friends, before we parted ways last year.

How We Knew Each Other

I first knew K when I was 15. That was 10 years ago. I remember at that time, I was learning web design as a hobby and was setting up my first website. As my webhost (I was using Crosswinds at that time) was frequently down, I would often visit their IRC support channel to check out what was wrong. (Those were the good old days when IRC and ICQ ruled the world of online chat.) [ Continue Reading »» ]
