I went Raffles City this weekend and boy is it a different place. The entire basement turned into 3 basements. I miss the old office so badly. I miss walking to Raffles City after a long day. I miss it all.
Something struck me while I was at MPH. There were rows and rows of new age business books – not your Management Principles or Organisational Behaviour. But rows of How to make money on Google. What is kick ass advertising. How to start an internet business. How to make money on Ebay. How to win like Apple. How to be like Jack Welch.
It pains me that there wasn’t a Yahoo! book anywhere in sight. There have been books about Yahoo!, and a few about the famous Jerry and Filo, but they’ve all fizzled out along with the .com bubble.
Have they lost their loving feeling? Is there nothing awe-inspiring about the worlds biggest internet company anymore?
That was a painful jolt back to reality. Just when you think you’re walking on sunshine you’ll step into a puddle and trip on your face. Because life has a sense of humour.
