Thought on Nov 19

The trips will feel longer when you do it the first time. For example, when you’re going through a road for the first time. It has the excitement as we are observing all the new things we see. So, that might be the reason, you think? The more you travel to different countries and places the more you see that they have different challenges.What you see is a huge problem in your country or place where you live might seems […]

Day one or one day?

What’s your mission? Do you still remember it? I feel that sometimes we will just get carried away with our day to day life and then we forgot about why we do it for the first time. Because we were dragged by the wave of life, we then forgot why we are doing it for the first time. Happened to me recently when I flipped my notes to early this year. And I found what I had scribbled about what […]

Making time for things that matters

This article reminds me of some sayings that “There is no such things as no time, but it depends on whether the thing is mattered to you”. My sensei sometimes asked in the class how we see “working from home”. I said it’s great since we have flexibility to do some work at home, and some of my classmates agree with this too. But she said, she doesn’t like it. It means there is no separation between work and non-work […]

Do one thing you can do

This week lesson is no matter how good your cause is, but if you’re bashing or bitching about other people actions, I find it less meaningful. There is always a reason behind every action, some might try very hard on justifying it, but whatever it is, good or bad. I find it’s toxic to see it. But some take it like a drama. (Maybe I should change my mindset) I did unfriend few people cos they like to share sad […]

Which team are you at?

“I’m team Canon”, “I’m team Nikon” or “I’m team android”, “I’m team iOS” and so on. This is quite common bickering back then among me and my friends. To the extent we call this “our religion”, depending on the community, ie, photography, mobile phone, etc. Come to think of it now, I feel silly yet I had good times debating those with my friends. But, out there this can be quite nasty. Some keyboard warriors just bashed others and look […]

You do you

It doesn’t sound proper sentence in English to me at first. But apparently it’s a valid term. This term came to my mind as recent events in my life, that when you have too many voices around you, it just confuses you. I decided to take a step back, try to get some distance hoping that I’ll be able to see it from different perspective. Or sometimes try to cool down first when I was too excited or emotional. There […]

What is it like on the other side

Last time I could only wonder what is it like on the other side? Or if I’m so and so who always busy traveling here and there, that must be nice. Or if I’m doing a, b, c then it looks cool. My friend told me, K.. the grass always looks greener on the other side. I didn’t really think of it back then, because I enjoy my daydreaming, imagining I’m somebody. You may heard of you are what you’re […]

Thanking life lessons

Ajahn Brahm mentioned in one of his talk that when you experience some hardships or pain or not pleasant experience, you should thank them and call them teacher. For example when mosquito kept buzzing near you, biting and sucking your blood, it teaches you patience and compassion. Recent experience that I have was trying to help out on some situation. I was asking around for help because of I don’t have capacity to perform and commit 100% to it due […]
