Happy New Year! Can’t believe 2020 just went past. It would be a lie if it was passed slowly, but as we gotten used to with the new rhythm, it felt it’s just passed by. Don’t you think so?

Lesson from life
Some people may give you hard times, but how you react to it it’s up to you. You may ponder why the other party behaves like that. And most of the times, it’s just a waste of energy.

That means both parties need to understand and compromise each other strength and weakness. However if you think you did your best and you still don’t get what you want. Just see it as, they are not for […]
