“I’ll do this after I finished my exam” “I’ll relax and do nothing after this busy month” “I’ll enjoy my life after I’m retired” “I’ll start to exercise after ..” “I’ll be peaceful and relax after taking holiday” “I’ll sleep more after the presentation” And after many “after”s, usually we will be busy again. With something else. So, find your peace, do your activities or get your rest in between your activities. Don’t depend on “after”. I’ll be satisfied after […]

It may happen, but rain comes. (Sometimes, it’s hard to get into a cab when it […]

A small talk that made my day
The boy was studying for his exam when I reached home. He was only Primary 4, my land lord’s son. The helper told me that he’s inspired to study IT in the future, to be like me. (Wow!) He added, so that he can play games while working since he will be facing computer whole day.. (Ahem.. that’s not the good motivation boy.. Or I can say, I used to think the same thing too. How I chose IT because […]

Procrastination
Pro.cras.ti.nate (say it in Dalek’s tone, if you’re Doctor Who fan. I found it cute :9) Overthink about it What happens to me most of the time is, it’s all started in my mind. I imagine the task, or chore, that I need to do. By the time I finished thinking about it, I lost my will to do it. Or even worse, I’m interested to do something else, which is more fun or much simpler. Thinking about it is […]
