The future people - We need thinkers!
I've been reading what makes the EVOKE community tick and I'm very fascinated and proud that I'm part of the community.
Now, before I get some beauty sleep (boy work was tough today!), here's something to think about. Let's think about...thinkers.
In India, the top 25% with the highest IQs is greater than the population of the US. That means India has more graduates than US has newborns.
The top 10…

Singapore's very own National Library
It's called the greenest building on the planet. So I decided to explore it...This place is one of my favourite hangouts when I need inspiration as it is located in the city centre, near the urban (hotels, shopping centres & offices) and the traditional (high rise apartments, temples, hawker centres). No…

So what am I gonna eat?
I don't know what it is...but I know that it'll be a plate filled with love because I cooked the ingredients from scratch, and not bought, pre-packed, processed or canned.

"Nuclear Fission" we've all heard. But "Nuclear Fusion"?
Coal, Oil, Gas. That's dominating our energy grid right now. As we use energy in a faster and faster rate to power growing economies like the ones in China, India, other parts of Asia and Africa...we need to realise that we're using the last bits of a dwindling resource to power these economies.
Have you thought of how are we going to power our offices and homes in, say, 20 years time? This is one of the reasons I'm not planning to have kids because I don't want another…

Choose a Hero!
The phrase "Choose your Hero" sounds only like something you'd hear in MMORPGs (Mass Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games). However, it's time to choose a real-life hero this time so here I go! It didn't take me long to choose the field that I'm interested in, but I'm stuck with 3 choices for my hero, but what the heck. It's a game and rules are meant to be broken so here I go.
My area I'm going to focus on would be the state of our food supply today, and the hero I'm choosing is Ann… Continue

"INNOVATION IN AFRICA TIPS"
I read this post and I agree with it wh***heartedly. In fact, these innovation tips do not only apply to solving problems in Africa but also to solve issues in my continent - Asia.

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
