This weekend I finally sorted out my items since moving in early this year and changing office too. At last, the last box is gone. It’s not finished yet. But I managed to classify them into their box category, which I still have 3 out of 10 boxes (my cabinet is boxy) had been tidied up inside. The rest of them, I just chucked everything inside. I used the tips from Marie Kondo on how to tidy up your space. […]

Bilingual? Or multilingual?
In recent taxi trip to airport, I met a chatty taxi driver. Sometimes I do want to just enjoy the ride, but there are times I don’t mind to chat. Started by normal question like whether I’m going for holiday because I have 24” luggage but it’s not that heavy. I said it’s a work trip just that I don’t have smaller luggage and it’s too much for cabin sized luggage. Next question about where I’m working came up, I […]
Fail to plan is plan to fail
I heard this phrase before, but I didn’t really feel the impact until I’ve been in the situation of “no plan” Back then I usually like to plan ahead to the smallest detail and I.must.follow.it. If I didn’t tick 10 out of 10 items in my list, I feel that I fail. I was down and stress because of it. I used to set my daily steps goal to be 10,000 steps. However these days I find it so hard […]
Crossing the line
Opportunity is like a door without a knob, sometimes you need someone to open it for you and you just need to dash through it. ちはやふる 結び Once again, this movie inspired me. Taichi felt that he’s stuck with his Karuta and intimidated by Arata and Chihaya. So, he decided to quit Karuta which he’s doing with Chihaya and went to a “journey” to discover himself like following another master in Karuta world. There is Taichi in us. That sometimes […]
Don’t sweat small setbacks
When you are starting something new, usually there are many “accidents”. And when you are having a few in a row, it is kind of not encouraging. Am I at the right path? Or should i just go back to where I was before? I’m trying to change my boys’ diet to raw, and now they are in transition from kibbles to wet food. Since 6 months ago, they were on few types of kibbles for ard 4 months. Now […]
Finding a buddy
Lesson learned this week is When the journey is long or uncertain, it is more bearable with buddy. I’m not a fan of running long distance. Maybe I had said it many times, I’ll say it again. However, I like it and yet I hate it. The serenity of running alone or listening to all the thoughts that came up during the run, is a very personal moment. I used to listen to music when I jog, but these days, […]
First time for something
I did it, I joined a race overseas. Well technically my first was Vietnam Mountain Marathon last year (or was it two years ago now?) And this time I joined a race in Warsaw. By accident. After visiting Germany for work, I’m going to be in Warsaw for a week for another work meeting. My colleague who went with me to Germany told me about the race, so after some thoughts and push from other running buddies, I decided to […]
To do it or not to do it
My mind was racing between option A or option B, and occasionally spawned to option C, D, etc. Which one I should go, which one I should do? Each has its own story. Then I heard faint voice, if you don’t do it, will you regret it? It was my heart’s voice. And most of the times, the answer is yes. So I will proceed to avoid regret. To go to Heidelberg Castle, there are 300+ steps to the top. […]
