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 […]
Traveling Solo
It’s not my first time as I traveled alone for work often, and in between I did some exploration to local places. I just came back from Prague yesterday 2D1N trip. It was quite last minute decision to just go there. I booked it like 2 days before the flying day. And the best part is, I didn’t do research about the place I’m visiting till D-1. (It’s so me!) No, it’s just that after work I was so brain-tired […]
Making time for things that matters
This article reminds me of some sayings that “There is no such things as no time, but it depends on whether the thing is mattered to you”. My sensei sometimes asked in the class how we see “working from home”. I said it’s great since we have flexibility to do some work at home, and some of my classmates agree with this too. But she said, she doesn’t like it. It means there is no separation between work and non-work […]
On settling down at new place
This week is my second weekend in Warsaw. I’m here for a short term assignment. It’s really bring back the memory lane of studying overseas for the first time. I’ll spare you from the boring story on it. Overall it’s been a good week. Weather has been somewhat accommodating, although it gave me a shock in the first week. One thing I miss is, my sons. My two furry sons at home. My mom takes care of them, so I’m […]
Packing life in a suitcase (or two)
This week is my first week (or half) to be stationed in Warsaw for work until December. It’s been awhile since I completed my study in Melbourne I’m 2018, that I need to pack my life in a big suitcase. TBH, I had hard times to pick what’s the essentials. Since having my own place, I’m used to having duplicate items at home and office to save trouble in remembering that I have to bring this or that. It’s gonna […]
Do one thing you can do
This week lesson is no matter how good your cause is, but if you’re bashing or bitching about other people actions, I find it less meaningful. There is always a reason behind every action, some might try very hard on justifying it, but whatever it is, good or bad. I find it’s toxic to see it. But some take it like a drama. (Maybe I should change my mindset) I did unfriend few people cos they like to share sad […]
Which team are you at?
“I’m team Canon”, “I’m team Nikon” or “I’m team android”, “I’m team iOS” and so on. This is quite common bickering back then among me and my friends. To the extent we call this “our religion”, depending on the community, ie, photography, mobile phone, etc. Come to think of it now, I feel silly yet I had good times debating those with my friends. But, out there this can be quite nasty. Some keyboard warriors just bashed others and look […]
