The first time I held a camera was in my primary six. I was going to a school excursion and all students need to write a report of what we learned from the trip. The report needs to have picture inside it. I brought a Fuji film camera – the point and shoot of that era. My dad taught me how to change the film but I still made the film burned because I opened it under the sun. Lesson […]

Lesson of the week
One secret of personal growth Find a mentor. Whom you can fight and can be honest with you. Straight jab maybe painful, when people who cares about you doing it, it will be less painful somehow. Learn from them. Let the fights shape you.
To be honest with ourselves
I remember clearly that on one fine day, while I was working on my website project, one of my flatmate entered my room and asked me, “How can you build a website?” Looking at her while my hands were typing some HTML code, and replied “Why not?” Let me share you my story. I’ve been playing with HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, ASP, for quite some time. I admit that I’m not the best coder among my peers. I enrolled into […]
Remember why you are here
Recently I listened to a design talk, one of the speaker begins her presentation with a slide titled, “Remember why you are here”. And following that title, there is a sentence, “I started this field because I’m passionate about [blanks]” This brought my memory back to a book I read in the past, a self help book on to find joy about your work. I’m sure working can be exciting to us yet horrifying to some of us. It’s either […]
Daily inspiration, find one every day
Question to self: What is inspiration? What inspires you every day? What are the thing that you find inspiring? Do you think inspiration takes an important place in your life? I found this poster somewhere in the internet two days ago and it made my day. I hope it inspire you too. Happy weekend.
Run, Temple Run
Keep running.. When there is an obstacle, jump over it; Where there is a gap, jump at the right time; When there is no path ahead, make a turn; When everything is getting faster, keep your head cool to decide your action wisely; When there is some helps, grab it; That’s how you score well in Temple Run. PS: this game made me addicted to keep playing it despite after few meters I have slipped into a pit […]
Never satisfied
When we are busy, we want some free time to do things we want to do; When we are free, we forgot to do that and busy looking for something else; When we are alone, we want someone or some friends or family to be around; When we are with them, we neglected them and acted like we didn’t need them.
Are you interested or..?
Interesting quote I read this week from Ken Blanchard is: “There’s a difference between interest and commitment. When you’re interested in doing something, you do it only when circumstance permit. When you’re committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results.” After reading those, suddenly learning foreign language popped up in my head. I have been learning Japanese for about a year or more, and recently I also enrolled myself into a Korean class. So am I just interested or […]
