Playing it according to your strength

Is what came to my mind this week. It was started with my frustration to get 130 combo in Tsum Tsum game. After doing some research, the mission is only achievable if I use certain character. Early March, during the international women’s day, one of the speakers also brought up this topic. That we are not cheating, or stereotyping just that we are doing best what we can. She mentioned that if men has more physical strength by nature, by […]

Why I don’t have/be like … ?

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Challenge or chore

This month, I’m taking a challenge created by one of my friends, to log 50km in a month. I just agreed to it without thinking as a result, and find halfway that it’s very hard to accomplish. Then I find it more as a chore because I hate to not complete it, while it’s too much stretch for me to complete it. Later I do my math, that in average, I ran short 1-2km mid week and 5km on weekend, […]
