Lessons learnt from the road

One of the reasons I didn’t blog much last month is I was on a week overseas trip. There are some lessons learned within this period. I’d like to make note of it (into different post), as well as sharing it. This is the first time, I write a series of posts. So, I’m looking forward to hear what you think about it too. *UPDATE: Living virtually Having fun is harmless, really Older or wiser, you choose.. Tolerance tested

Just do it?

Recently I watched Green Zone starred Matt Damon, Greg Kinnear, and many more. An interesting dialog came out in the movie. Doing something for reason, not just the job. Sometimes it just happens to us. We have to do something either for work or maybe for ourselves, for our friends or our loved ones. Doing it is not the hardest part, but when it comes with specific request that we don’t really agree or against our conscience, will you still do  it?

Blogger apprentice

On one afternoon, my friend sent me a personal message through messenger. He noticed that I update my blog on daily basis recently. He compliment me for being able to write regularly and told me that he is struggling with finding ideas for his personal blog. This friend actually has another blog, about JavaScript programming. I read his occasionally and I find it was well written. He provides examples and detail instructions, as well as theory behind it and tips […]

The story line Starting since when I was at my primary school, I was thinking joining school marching band was cool, maybe to play some instruments or […]

A thing called passion

My friend said a very interesting statement yesterday, “Although someone has interest on doing some kind of work, doesn’t necessarily means he is the right person to do it. Sometimes you need to go beyond normal, to give more than what you are required to do.” The conversation was happened during our lunch time, and we were discussing about work (well sadly yeah, sometimes we discuss about work even during our lunch time). Her statement made me think about some […]

When resisting is not working

What do I mean by resisting? Alright, according to online dictionary Merriam-Webster, resist means: intransitive verb : to exert force in opposition transitive verb 1 : to exert oneself so as to counteract or defeat <he resisted temptation> 2 : to withstand the force or effect of <material that resists heat> My version, to resist is not to acknowledge something which is usually associated with bad things. You can name activities like gambling, stealing, or using drugs. I don’t such experience […]

What is your style?

Lately, I’ve been into discussion with a friend about my blog. He recommended a blog to me to read the week before. The blog is written by Singaporean girl which is mainly describing her daily activities. Her language is light and simple; some of the story are funny and some are quite provoking but it describes her personality; the bottom line is the blog is fun to follow. On the other hand, he told me that in general, my blog […]
