I attended a talk related to animal today and the speaker was mentioning that sometimes human is selfish and think highly of themselves. I bought this expensive stuff for you and you didn’t want to use or eat it. Well, as cat pawrent, that doesn’t sound new or surprising for me.. #catlogic The speaker said, if you pay attention closely and listen to them, sometimes what they really need is not complex or something luxury. That’s one of my thought […]

What you see, often, is just the tip of the iceberg
Sounds familiar? Or do you experience it? (From: Love for imperfect things. Penguin Random House. 2018) It can cause a great rift between friends, just because people are just comparing what they see from social media or forum or chat group. A friend used to tell me that someone was copying whatever they do in Instagram, blatantly in their face. Some said, imitation is highest form of flattery, but it can be annoying too. But again, at what cost we […]
Have you tried..?
To eat tofu as onigiri stuffing? Is what my sensei asking in the class. We said we never try it. She said, go and give it a go. In life you need to challenge yourself, try something new or not common and decide it if it turned out good or bad. If it’s good, then you find a new thing to do or eat. If not, then try a new one. One of the thing makes me looking forward to […]
Thought of this week
Which has been lost and almost forgotten, because things popped up in the middle of something. Lately, it happened to me more and more often. I was doing something, then a good thought came in. As if, lesson learnt word flies by above your head and some voice overs start to tell you about it. If my life is going to be turned to be a movie, I’d like Morgan Freeman or Benedict Cumberbatch to voice it. Sometimes books are […]
One thing at a time
One of my challenge these days is shorter attention span. I tend to do small things and neglect things which need more effort to do. Plus with my “must do good stuffs” mindset, as a result, I tend to procrastinate more. Do you experience this? What’s your trick to overcome this?
Racing with yourself (late post)
“Every race is a unique race” That’s what my running buddy like to say. Every race has its own story, because no matter how prepared we are, there are some dynamic factors which contributes to it. Like weather, what we ate the day before, our tummy condition and so on. Since early this year, I haven’t been training or running longer than 5km. Ya ya ya.. maybe you think it’s another old story, no training, just go for it story. […]
What’s your ikigai?
I started to give myself a 52 week challenge 4-5 years ago because I want to challenge myself to do something consistently. It started with the popular challenge in the Internet, saving the money as big as the week number, week 1 is $1 and so on. Then I expanded it to blogging and taking photo with Luffy too. I concluded the saving money challenge 2 years ago, because I find I didn’t really save them from my weekly allowance, […]
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 […]
