When You Outgrow Your Environment But Still Fear Becoming Arrogant

One uncomfortable realisation I had recently:I no longer work or learn the same way as many people around me. At first, I thought I was simply becoming impatient. But after reflecting deeper, I realised the feeling was more complicated than that. It was not:“I think I’m smarter than everyone.” In fact, I fear becoming that person. The real discomfort came from feeling: That contradiction created more emotional tension than I expected. The Trigger Started From Group Work The situation itself […]

What ChatGPT Observed About Me After Hours Of Conversations

At one point, I asked ChatGPT a simple question: “What have you learned about me from all these conversations?” What came back was not a personality test result or motivational quote. It was more like reading a behavioural reflection written by a neutral coach who had been observing recurring patterns over time. Some parts felt accurate immediately.Some parts made me uncomfortable.Some parts explained behaviours I had never fully connected before. This post is not about whether AI “knows” someone deeply.

Why school reunion is overrated

This week I’ve been trying to unpack my intrusive thoughts about the upcoming reunion. To be honest, I feel more chore than joy. My high school years never felt like a space where I belonged. The clearest example was the religion teacher who doubled as the student organization’s counselor. He openly said the organization would only accept students from religion ABC. Other religions were out. I was shortlisted as a representative for my class, but in the end I wasn’t […]

Feeling stuck

misted window with question mark

I’m not sure if people around my age are experiencing this, but here I am. The feeling that I’m stuck or don’t feel motivated to do anything is kinda lingering a little bit longer this time. I had few moments of “spikes” where I feel a little more motivated or gaining my “let’s do it” spirit, but often times it went flat again. Don’t laugh at me, but lately i’ve been using my situation for learning how to use ChatGPT […]

Finding Meaning in Everyday Encounters: A Personal Story

Without realising, year changed and I’m still struggling to be back to blog regularly despite I have many thoughts from time to time. I’ll be back to that topic in a bit. The reason I feel want to go back to write because yesterday I had interesting convo with one of my neighbors. A while ago, I bumped to an uncle who stood by a tree and looked up searching for something when I was on the way to buy […]

Happy New Year 2024

I know, it’s way way late for this. There had been some internal monologue happened offline. To post or not to post. My brain brought me to a rabbit hole of thinking why is this and why is that. It’s constant internal struggle. Sometimes I also wonder why. I didn’t have such a struggle last time. I can channel my thought without any issues. There was a period of time when you feel “alone”. Because you and your friends are […]

Week 10 entry in 2023

New change doesn’t necessarily means a better change.That’s what I feel lately.I miss the old wordpress where it doesn’t have blocks, where it’s just paragraph. Maybe it’s just me feeling sentimental about oldies as currently Tiktok FYP is full of 90s boybands making comeback. Did you know that Spice Girls was 25 years ago? Gosh~ Had a catch up this weekend with friends who is going to go back to US as company is pulling expats to go back to […]

Hello 2023

Happy New Year! It’s been awhile I didn’t update this space, while there were so many things had happened or came across in 2022. Somehow I was having a phase where I had a short self talk and decided to dismiss it. I was contemplating whether I should let my thought ramble to have some digital presence or should I just kept it to myself or perhaps just shared it with close friends.Not sure if it’s the age thing which […]
