Sounds familiar? When I look at others, that question pops up. Also often followed by “how to be …?” or “how to get it?” But it takes away our happiness on appreciating what we have currently. And less grateful too. Don’t you think? Sometimes it’s not just about us, maybe also about our kiddos too. Like we have expectation on them, comparing them to others. While actually they are fine as they are. So, that’s this week quick thought. Let’s […]

Disconnect to connect
Now every weekend my iPhone gives me a report on how long my screen time is. And some days I have Instagram on top of the list or some days I have Whatsapp. But mostly, it’s either work app or social media app. Even at home, I still glued to my phone running errands, like online shopping for groceries and other items. I can do almost all of my work stuffs from phone too. With exception of creating document or […]
Doing nothing
I watched “Christopher Robin” on my way to Warsaw and one sentence which memorable to me was Doing nothing often leads to the very best something Have you watched the movie? If you haven’t, please go watch it. If you had, don’t you think what happened to Christopher Robin is something we can relate as an adult? The way Pooh said it, in soft manner, make it more impactful. We are kind of easily trapped in day to day routine […]
About worry
Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy. Leo Buscaglia That what I was being reminded recently. There are many things in my mind which makes me worry. And sometimes to the extent of panicking. For example, I always get the pre-trip jittery bug. Back then was more on if I pack enough, if I forgets anything and so on. These days, arrangement for my cats, are they going to be fine or not. […]
Just keep trying
This week I saw two similar posts in Instagram story one is by @no_eye_shadow and @twomanylegs which were sharing about two cats, Rosa and Ruru that both of them are feisty and don’t like to give up when it comes to try something new. They will keep trying and trying. For example when the resident cats didn’t welcome them initially. Ruru will sulk for awhile, then he will be back to his usual self. I hope I can be more […]
Catching up with old pals – books
Since last week I’ve been spending times in my hometown for Lunar New Year. And it also means that I have time to catch up with some books (and manga) I had in my room. “Don’t sweat small stuffs at work” is not a newly bought book but rather a book I bought more than 10 years ago. And it was the translated version. There was a few pages and points which resonates with me lately, and gave me some […]
Lost track of time
My usual schedule for blog post is over the weekend, which either Sat or Sun. However, this week I took some time off from work to celebrate Lunar New Year in my hometown . Happy New Year! Finally the year starts! Hehe.. The first few days, I felt like has been shot by a tranquilizer dart. Despite has been getting solid 7h sleep, I still feel sleepy in late afternoon. Perhaps, I have too much sleep debt? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ My brain […]
How much time do you have for …
Have you asked yourself this question before? For example, how much time you have for reading? Or for exercising? And so on. In Twitter, one of my favorite writer always put a remark x mins reading in his tweet, followed by the blog link. This is not new. Just that it resonates with me recently. At work, I discovered how to use Tempo with JIRA, which is a tool to track your time working on something. And these two things […]
