Have you tried..?

To eat tofu as onigiri stuffing? Is what my sensei asking in the class. We said we never try it. She said, go and give it a go. In life you need to challenge yourself, try something new or not common and decide it if it turned out good or bad. If it’s good, then you find a new thing to do or eat. If not, then try a new one. One of the thing makes me looking forward to […]

About worry

Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy. Leo Buscaglia That what I was being reminded recently. There are many things in my mind which makes me worry. And sometimes to the extent of panicking. For example, I always get the pre-trip jittery bug. Back then was more on if I pack enough, if I forgets anything and so on. These days, arrangement for my cats, are they going to be fine or not. […]

Run it out, eh, sweat it out

A wise friend always advises me (and other friends) when you’re in doubt, or doesn’t feel well, or basically when you have something troubling your mind, go for a run. I always reply, I’d rather do something else than that. However, I have to admit that sometimes it’s easier to just put on your sneakers and run, whether it’s a slow one or fast one, or perhaps just do a walk. (Depending on the degree of the matters, I find […]

When having one plan is not enough

How do you usually plan something? Usually I build one plan and if it’s not working then move on to next plan. But recently I find that 3 out of 5 plan didn’t work out and I need to use next plan. I find this quite “tiring”. Being perfectionist myself, I like to plan thoroughly. So I spend quite sometime in building one plan. When the success rate is not in my favour these days, I get discouraged of planning. […]

Why this? Why that?

After all the hard work organizing something, some friends didn’t turn up. After all the long nights revising, turned out that what we study wasn’t included for the exam. Then we asked ourselves, why? I’m sure that we are all in those situations. (Or probably worse?) and we feel stress because it didn’t go as we plan. At the back of my head I can hear my teachers in life will say, don’t think too much about it. Although to […]

After saying “after”

“I’ll do this after I finished my exam” “I’ll relax and do nothing after this busy month” “I’ll enjoy my life after I’m retired” “I’ll start to exercise after ..” “I’ll be peaceful and relax after taking holiday” “I’ll sleep more after the presentation” And after many “after”s, usually we will be busy again. With something else. So, find your peace, do your activities or get your rest in between your activities. Don’t depend on “after”. I’ll be satisfied after […]

Should we or shouldn’t we

When we say we should, it means we think that we are right and others are wrong. (Or worse, the universe is at fault) And what happened next? Disappointment. The rain should stop because I want to go out. It may happen, but most likely won’t happen. (Unless you’re Bruce Almighty, perhaps) I should be able to find taxi because I’m in a rush. It may happen, but rain comes. (Sometimes, it’s hard to get into a cab when it […]
