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 […]

A thing called compromise
Do you feel your stomach churn before your exam? Or before you have your big gig? Well, I do. Thanks to a friend of mine; talking to him yesterday made me re-think the whole big picture, or should I say, my big picture. Let’s go back to the nerveousness, most of the time before I had school presentation, exams, or meeting clients, or even teaching, I was nervous. (some of my friends don’t believe it when I said so)
5 self asking question which help to motivate ourselves
In my previous post, I listed how to tackle bad mood. One of them is recognizing the cause of it (writing my thought down). So, below is a short list of questions which help me to find out the cause. 1. Do I expect too much? 2. Do I enjoy what I’m doing? 3. Do I need it or do I want it? 4. Do I worry about the outcome? 5. Have I really done anything to achieve it?
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. But up here, you’re still a baggage screener at the airport. Till you change that, you’ll always think you’re not ready. How often we’ve been in similar situation […]
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.
my (most) favorite quote
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life – by Steve Jobs. I’ve been using that quote as my email signature for quite sometimes since I know about it few years back. The rest of the sentences following those quotes are: Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage […]
on recent depression
a week that made me learn something sometimes we do not need to find reasons behind anything that happened to us and, something or someone to blame to when there is something wrong in our life because we need those pain, trouble, to grow. As someone like to describe it as growing pains.
Grasshopper’s Jump
I read this story from a mailing list, it’s a very nice post and very inspiring. It originally posted in Indonesian, so I decided to translate this into English so that more people can read and more people can gain the benefit. 🙂 And I hope that my translation will be good enough hehe :p Once upon a time, there is a young smart grasshopper who lives in a forest. This fellow grasshopper is blessed with a finest quality among […]
