Lesson from life

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. The challenge is if you’re working with them for accomplishing a project as a volunteer (unlike in work environment where people has more commitment to it). But, I’ll take it as […]

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 […]

Am I too late?

Are you enjoying what you’re doing now? Is that what do you want to do the most? If what you’re doing now is not what you want to do in your life, how do you feel about it? Do you feel it’s a chores or actually you’re enjoying it? Well, I’m sure that everyone has their reason why choosing to be in the current situation.

Key learning from my recent Japan trip

When people asked me when did I start to study Japanese? I can’t remember it well until when I found my school receipt. It was dated 2010. One of the most frequently asked question in class is why do you study Japanese? I still remember the reason vividly. So that I’ll be able to watch J-dorama (Japanese drama series) without subtitle. Having lived outside Japan, we need to depend on the community to provide the subtitle for the drama. These […]

Change plan

or rather adapt your plan. Time flies eh? We had passed the first three months of the year. Early this year, did you make  any resolutions? If so, how was it? Are you doing well? Looking at my list this year, some are progressing well, some aren’t. I feel that the importance is also changing. Some are becoming less important. I like to keep them on check from time to time. Until eventually it becomes an obsession to tick them. […]

Note to self after a trip

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 […]
