My “you’ll thank me later” moment

It’s almost 2 weeks ago since I started a new habit to wake up earlier and allocate some time to do some drills in the morning before taking shower.  I have no issue waking up in the morning (most of the days) but there are times when I just want to play my game longer in the evening before going to bed. And I find it hard to wake up in the morning.  So, there are times when I dragged […]

Awareness (continue)

In my swimming class, my coaches always asked what did I do and how did I do it or how I feel after some drills.  They will still tell me if I couldn’t tell them maybe because I wasn’t aware or preoccupied with other things while doing it.  They always emphasize that we need to be aware about what we do and remember the feel of it. When we remember it, we are conscious and as we practice more, the […]

Look at people around you

and you’ll make your world wider. That’s what my sensei told us during class. She added, so when you’re on train, don’t just look down and listen to music. Look around and listen to your surrounding. Another student asked, how can we widen our world wider by doing that inside train? XD Sometimes I’m surprised with what sensei told us in class.  She often said it jokingly, but I feel somehow it always reminds me about something which happens to […]

A LIVE (Pt 2)

自分の価値気付かないのは、自分の認めないだけだろう If you fail to realize your value, isn’t it because you didn’t acknowledge it That’s what the main character told the other lead, after hearing that his justification why he behaved that way and did many things because he wants to be recognize by the people around him.

Can do? Cannot do?

A friend shared an article about another friend who managed to accomplish something awesome! Because I haven’t be able to do it. And there is a quote in the blog, “You’re never too old to set a new goal or dream a new dream” – CS Lewis I haven’t completed my full marathon yet, and I aim for one. But somehow I feel it’s a very high mountain to climb.

A LIVE

可能性がゼロでないなら、追求しなきゃ。 As long as the possibility is not zero, we should pursue it. Was said by a female doctor to the main lead. I’ll not say anymore to avoid any spoilers. If you have time, you should watch this Japanese drama A LIVE. It’s still airing, although it’s reaching out it’s climax.

Inspiration from Bittersweet (JP drama)

I watched にがくてあまい (Bittersweet) while flying back from Shanghai to Singapore. The main male character is a good cook while the female character is a typical office worker who care more about her work than anything else.  They started with funny encounters and some fights, but they care about each other.  One of the memorable lines was Sometimes you just need to let yourself simmer a little longer to bring out the best of you. Like a stew.  If you […]
