Disconnect to connect

Now every weekend my iPhone gives me a report on how long my screen time is. And some days I have Instagram on top of the list or some days I have Whatsapp. But mostly, it’s either work app or social media app. Even at home, I still glued to my phone running errands, like online shopping for groceries and other items. I can do almost all of my work stuffs from phone too. With exception of creating document or […]

To detach from our routine has its own good

There is old saying that practice makes perfect and build a routine to be better at something. But have you ever feel that you feel hopeless or trapped within the routine? What happened to recently is I trapped in routine of working. I was determined to get things done, and as a result, I was working morning full time and still have some night calls. And the amount of night calls are becoming more and more. I suddenly felt helpless […]

My “you’ll thank me later” moment

It’s almost 2 weeks ago since I started a new habit to wake up earlier and allocate some time to do some drills in the morning before taking shower.  I have no issue waking up in the morning (most of the days) but there are times when I just want to play my game longer in the evening before going to bed. And I find it hard to wake up in the morning.  So, there are times when I dragged […]

After saying “after”

“I’ll do this after I finished my exam” “I’ll relax and do nothing after this busy month” “I’ll enjoy my life after I’m retired” “I’ll start to exercise after ..” “I’ll be peaceful and relax after taking holiday” “I’ll sleep more after the presentation” And after many “after”s, usually we will be busy again. With something else. So, find your peace, do your activities or get your rest in between your activities. Don’t depend on “after”. I’ll be satisfied after […]

Capturing the best picture

As a refresher in between some personal development post I usually I write, I would like to share a story. Some weeks ago, I went to a short hike with group of friends. There were 6 of us, three girls and three boys. Almost all of us bring camera, from pocket camera to digital SLR camera (I counted out mobile phone camera in this case, although that some mobile phone can produce not so bad picture)

The day when I didn’t get what I want

On many occasions in my life, I didn’t get what I want. Below are some of the big lost in my life (and some big found too). I hope you bare with me, since it’s going to be a bit long than usual and I hope that you can find these stories helpful. 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 […]

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 […]
