If you have something keep bugging you for quite sometime, and what makes you hesitating for doing it is not because money or time, then you should ask yourself why. Some of the common reason are: Scared, because you’re doing it alone Not confident, because you don’t want to make yourself look bad Worried, what others think about it Or at least, those reasons used to be with me. Anyway, I have a girl friend who likes to ask me […]

Getting my feet back to..
I know that recently I’ve been not blogging regularly. There is a slightly guilty feeling inside for not sharing what I’ve been learning so far (not for showing off). The reason I was absent of blogging is mainly I lost my balance. There were a lot of things happened around me, and those were happened too fast than I could handle. I decided to take it slowly, trying to put things into its places one by one. There were some […]
When will I be happy?
Are you happy right now? Have you ever ask yourself, what are the things that make you happy? Have you obtain those things which make you happy? Or are you still looking for it? And, will you still be happy, if it’s gone? I’m reading a manga, Vagabond by Takehiko Inoue, which a fiction about Miyamoto Musashi life based on the historical novel by Yoshikawa Eiji. Musashi grows up by wanting to achieve one thing. He wants to be acknowledged as […]
Imperfection
I sent my MacBook for a repair recently. The SuperDrive has been spoilt since a year ago, but I hesitate to repair it. Cost wise. Although I have external DVD-ROM, but there is always a time when you need it ready, especially when you’re travelling and you want to use it but you don’t bring the external one. It costs me a bomb, but I bare myself with it. I’m so happy when the service center called me to collect […]
It’s too soon to give up
Over the time again and again, when we stuck with something too long, we will feel bored. Whatever determination that we have earlier just vapours into the air. I’m not trying to be dramatic (well maybe a little) but that’s the fact. If we don’t feel bored, maybe we will start to lose our fighting spirit, and preparing to wave a white flag. Last month I had a New Year dinner with my friends from language school. While queueing to […]
Untitled (Pt. 2)
continuing from previous post.. I went back to my hometown for celebrating Lunar New Year with my family on 3rd week of Jan and the holiday is going to end soon. I will be back to Singapore tomorrow and will be back to work on Thursday. Mostly I spent my times with my family (of course) and my friends in between. It brings all the memory that we had at school back. We had been graduated 8 years ago and a […]
Untitled (Pt. 1)
As always, without realization a year passed pretty fast. We are living in 2012 now and it’s near the end of January. In general, people will start to think about their new year resolution since December; some of my friends did it. One of them asked me, have I gave a thought about my new year resolution? I asked them back, for personal or for office? And they replied of course the personal one. I smiled sheepishly and replied that […]
