That’s it, yesterday event was my last sport goal for this year. To join a series of TriFactor event. Initially my motivation was to get the puzzle like medal, which you can connect with each other when you completed the all the event by them in a year. However, this year doesn’t seem to have it although this year is their 10th anniversary. Anyway.. again this will be focused on the swimming leg, my weakest among all three sports. I […]

Will you tell the other person directly for something which might hurt their feeling?
Reading the latest chapter of One Piece when Luffy landed in a new land, he made some comments about it and the other character was telling him, he’s too straightforward. But Luffy is being Luffy, he won’t think twice or considerate about other people’s feeling. He is just saying what comes to his mind. Last week, I received some feedbacks from one of my colleagues and at the end of the feedback session he asked me, if he made me […]
Will you go all out?
Sometimes we know that we like something, but we don’t dare to express that we like it. Sometimes we don’t want to do it in front of other people. We are cautious when people are looking at us. Sometimes we protect ourselves at all cost, because we don’t want to be faulted, seen inexperienced or not perfect.But it’s usually just our ego. And there are much more than our ego. This is what I learned this week from my friends. […]
Go for it!
What are the things that scare me? *MANY* Doing exams, going for races, trying a new role. I get butterfly in my stomach, I have cold sweat, and some other symptoms. But, every time I asked myself, will I regret it if I don’t go for it? Most of the times, there is a little voice inside saying, yes. So, it is scary. But most of the times it turns out to be alright. Our mind tends to multiply it. […]
You should do a marathon once in your life
I mentioned many times in my previous blog post that I’m not a runner, I don’t have stamina nor speed. But there is something about running which somehow always pulls me back to do it. The euphoria after running and the less preparation needed sport are perhaps the main reasons. I ticked this out of my bucket list last year. I don’t care much about the time, as long as I cross the finish line, and didn’t get any injury. […]
The art of procrastinating
I hate to see things not done. Whether it’s doing a task or meeting friends. I will .. do .. my .. best-est to do it within certain time frame, let’s say within that same day. And you guess it right, that I felt drain at the end of the day. But I felt accomplished. It perhaps an influence from work, that when something came, you need to reply or react swiftly. I learned that most of the times, we […]
What if? The nightmare that my brain thought of
Today I had two appointments at home, to do some air con maintenance and to get kitchen window repair. The original schedule was the kitchen window repair will start at 9am then the air con service will start at 10am. Suddenly it came to my mind, how to handle my two boys when the window is gone and when the aircon is on cleaning. Panic! I texted my friend regretted that I should have asked help to manage the boys. […]
