Some people may give you hard times, but how you react to it it’s up to you. You may ponder why the other party behaves like that. And most of the times, it’s just a waste of energy. It’s either you accept them as they are or leave them.

Stay on track
Mid year review is coming! How’s your year looking? So far so good? Do you have to make extra turns? Or were you forced to make detour? I thought that I’m doing good so far until when I opened my list and start to compare it. When we are too living in the moment, it’s quite easy to follow the crowd and forget that’s not the place we want to go. Well, at the end of the day, these what […]

Having lived outside Japan, we need to depend on the community to provide the subtitle for the drama. These […]

Until eventually it becomes an obsession to tick them. […]

Last week I was having a business trip to Shanghai for a training. I was so worried especially when I heard that Shanghai was cold and it was snowing on the week of my trip. Will I able to cope with the cold? The day before my departure I was having different worry. Should I bring my iPad or should I just bring my phone? How am I going to stay connected? And many more. Sounds trivial right? Note no […]

Slacking
The first 8 weeks of the year hasn’t even passed, yet I have been slacking in posting in my blog. One of my resolution is to be back to post regularly, once a week. Well, I have a reason for this week though, because I was in a holiday back in my hometown. I usually have idea about what I want to write however, I was either too busy with something or I was too tired by the end of […]
