How he deals with his students which reminds me of […]

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 […]
Learning my lesson – keeping my ego at the bay
Lately, I was so stressed, I didn’t know what made me stress and I was quite desperate to find out what made me stress. Is it my work load?

On one step closer to our dream
Below is the dialogue excerpt between Ria Torres and Dr. Cal Lightman from one of the “Lie to Me” episodes I watched, Lightman (L): Look, what do you wanna be when you grow up? Torres (T): I am grown-up. (L): Terrific. what are you? (T): I’m–i’m a– (L): You’re on your way to becoming one of the world’s leading experts in deception.

On setting a limit
I like one of the sport shoe commercial tag line, “Nothing is impossible. Impossible is nothing”. The tag line has been few years back though, I’m sure you know or ever heard about it. First of all, the story I wrote is for sharing purpose which inspired by my own situations. I’m motivated by the tag line many times but for this time, I need to see the bigger picture of it. Let’s say that you work on a specific […]

Embracing new journey..
I’ve been doing this for how many times. Add this, remove that, edit this code, remark that code, change the link here and there. I always like to do same things in a different way.
Used to do it in my local hard drive until I really satisfied with the new look, then upload it to the Internet. But I guess, the condition is a bit different now. Singapore has a faster Internet connection compared to my own country Indonesia. Thus, doing a small renovation live is quite enjoyable somehow.
