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 […]
Memorable lesson from the past
If you’re asked by your friend, what was the most memorable lesson which you learned recently, what would that be? For me, it’s classic lesson, never judge a book by its cover. I made new friends from cat community and I find that there are very positive people which I like to speak to. They always able to see the bright side of some mishaps. Which I think not many people can do it. For me, I tend to go […]
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, […]
Playing it according to your strength
Is what came to my mind this week. It was started with my frustration to get 130 combo in Tsum Tsum game. After doing some research, the mission is only achievable if I use certain character. Early March, during the international women’s day, one of the speakers also brought up this topic. That we are not cheating, or stereotyping just that we are doing best what we can. She mentioned that if men has more physical strength by nature, by […]
