I realised that my last post was when March was about to begin. So what happened in March, April and May? As we are nearing the end of May, let me share what happened to me from the most recent event. My friend alerted me about a Facebook post that 3 cats were abandoned under the block, and the post was around 15 mins ago. I didn’t know what came to my mind that time, but I changed, put masked […]

describing a glimpse of kartika angkawijaya daily activity, some events which intrigue her thinker side trying to find out the answers for them
Hello March!
I haven’t been posting weekly like I used to do it in previous years. I feel jaded and posting for the sake of posting. Chased by the reminder that I need to tick this to move on. So, this year I tried something different. I’ll just post at least once a month and it’s more as reflection what had happened in previous month. So here are some of my lesson learnt in February On dealing with kid. I adopted a […]
Finding out what we do is the right thing to do
The first question popped is, how? I usually will go into a “cocoon” mode where I try to run all the possibilities in my head. Till my head is about to explode, then I’ll stop. Sometimes I’m quite satisfied with it. But sometimes I still not sure. Often I forget that if I discuss it with the right person, most of the times the solution is much simpler that what I have in mind. Then, the next question is, is […]
When everything is urgent, there is no urgency
I believe it also applies to importance of something. If everything is important, there is nothing important. Then the next question is, how do we prioritize? Some of the common prioritization which probably you had heard of are FIFO (First-In-First-Out), LIFO (Last-In-First-Out), or which task/project which will make your resume looks better (there is such thing), or by due date, or by complexity and many more. Almost the last week of the year, looking back, I was wondering where did […]
When did the last time you’re being honest to yourself?
It can be related to something you want, or perhaps your feeling. The most common “pretend” for me is pretending that I’m okay. Sometimes because of physical condition, i.e. sick, or emotional, when things are just overwhelming. Pretend can be about feeling too, that you don’t like it, but you decided to hold it for the sake of other party. But whatever pretend it is, it’s not healthy. When something is building up, it will explode sooner or later. Can […]
Distract, distraction and distracted
Do you feel to concentrate doing one thing is getting more and more difficult? If not, good on you. As I feel that more and more often. I tend to solve easier stuffs and procrastinate on the more difficult stuffs. Unfortunately, the more difficult stuffs often more important. Sometimes I can’t stand to have some quiet time, I need to have some background noises to bring my concentration. However it can distract me too from what I should be doing. […]
Day one or one day?
What’s your mission? Do you still remember it? I feel that sometimes we will just get carried away with our day to day life and then we forgot about why we do it for the first time. Because we were dragged by the wave of life, we then forgot why we are doing it for the first time. Happened to me recently when I flipped my notes to early this year. And I found what I had scribbled about what […]
The thrill of going to a new place
When was the first time you’re going a trip by yourself? And where? Can you remembered it? I think my first solo trip was one of my work trip. I was worried at first, but luckily I’ve been to that place before with my manager. So I kind of know my way. Then it gradually becomes I need to go to a new places by myself. And I lost count after that. One thing I learn from my recent trip […]
