Christmas is one of my favourite holidays of year. You should know the story about Christmas right? Besides that, it’s also a season where everyone spend their time with their family. When I was a kid, I watched a lot of show/movie about Christmas in local television (it’s also a school holiday, so I could watch TV as many as I wanted, yay). For example, some parents were trying their best to get presents or to give Christmas experience to their […]

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 […]
It will be beautiful
I asked my friend, what if I can’t do well? He said, what if you do well? We often ask ourselves questions which doubting ourselves or worry about the future. Then eventually, that gives us unnecessary stress. When we worry about the future, it means we are finding fault with the future. (AB) We don’t always get what we want, but we will get something else along the way. So it’s a matter how we see it. Isn’t it? If […]
Freeing up our heart space
I heard this terminology from a talk quite a while ago. I didn’t really get what it mean until recently. To give some background about the speaker, he’s a monk and sometimes he has to give counseling to his people. People who has session with him, will throw all their concerns to him. But does he overwhelmed with their stories? He said, he didn’t. The simile that he used is to become rubbish bin without bottom. Sometimes we experienced it […]
A small talk that made my day
The boy was studying for his exam when I reached home. He was only Primary 4, my land lord’s son. The helper told me that he’s inspired to study IT in the future, to be like me. (Wow!) He added, so that he can play games while working since he will be facing computer whole day.. (Ahem.. that’s not the good motivation boy.. Or I can say, I used to think the same thing too. How I chose IT because […]

“If you really want to do something, you’ll find a way. If you don’t, you’ll find an excuse.”― Jim Rohn I can’t remember when is the first time I read/heard this quote. It came back to me recently. thanks to google, I can find the complete quote again. and really helped me. So, to my friend who shared this.. Thanks!
Procrastination
Pro.cras.ti.nate (say it in Dalek’s tone, if you’re Doctor Who fan. I found it cute :9) Overthink about it What happens to me most of the time is, it’s all started in my mind. I imagine the task, or chore, that I need to do. By the time I finished thinking about it, I lost my will to do it. Or even worse, I’m interested to do something else, which is more fun or much simpler. Thinking about it is […]
