Learning from Annual Review

As new year is just peeking at the door, everyone seems to be busy to finish their work before this year ends. Recently, some people in my office, including myself, are busy writing annual report for the management. I’m sure you all know what’s inside. So, I think it’s a good idea for today’s blog post too. Have you ever review yourself? If so, are you a generous reviewer? If you never review yourself, why? Have you ever consider it, […]

What is the most enjoyable thing you do throughout the week?

Recently, I attended a course about EQ skills, and how can we be helped as a manager when we use it on the right time. It was 2 full days course, from 9 to 5 with 1 hour break in between and 2 short coffee break sessions. In between of the session, we were having some sharing about our work place experiences and some actions taken at that point of time. Overall, it was great time for me to be able to […]

Is blogging useless?

One day one of my friend asked me during lunch time, what would I think about blogging. Well I have a blog and I like to blog. The reason is I can share my thought and with hope to inspire others. How did I start to blog? It started when I was on my final year in high school. I was inspired, many times, by reading stories from Chicken Soup books. Most of the story are short and simple, based […]

Yeah, I’m getting closer to my dream actually

On a recent casual talk with one of my best friends, he asked me whether I have achieve my chilhood dreams. I used to have many dreams. My dreams were changing from time to time although some remains the same. I believe that those which stays are those I want it badly. Back to his question, what are my dreams? It took me a while to recall my dreams.

On one step closer to our dream

Below is the dialogue excerpt between Ria Torres and Dr. Cal Lightman from one of the “Lie to Me” episodes I watched, Lightman (L): Look, what do you wanna be when you grow up? Torres (T): I am grown-up. (L): Terrific. what are you? (T): I’m–i’m a– (L): You’re on your way to becoming one of the world’s leading experts in deception. But up here, you’re still a baggage screener at the airport. Till you change that, you’ll always think you’re not ready. How often we’ve been in similar situation […]

On getting what we are thinking about

… When this happens to me, for instance I want to be able to swim, instead of taking lessons or going for swimming with friends, I keep rejecting my friends when they ask me for swimming. The reasons were I can’t swim, what am I supposed to do when you’re swimming, and many more crap reasons (I can say those were really crap reasons ;)). Well, you may say that, swimming doesn’t count, it’s not serious, not some kind of life achievement or special dream everyone wanted. …

Embracing new journey..

I’ve been doing this for how many times. Add this, remove that, edit this code, remark that code, change the link here and there. I always like to do same things in a different way.

Used to do it in my local hard drive until I really satisfied with the new look, then upload it to the Internet. But I guess, the condition is a bit different now. Singapore has a faster Internet connection compared to my own country Indonesia. Thus, doing a small renovation live is quite enjoyable somehow.
