“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 […]
Why I don’t have/be like … ?
Sounds familiar? When I look at others, that question pops up. Also often followed by “how to be …?” or “how to get it?” But it takes away our happiness on appreciating what we have currently. And less grateful too. Don’t you think? Sometimes it’s not just about us, maybe also about our kiddos too. Like we have expectation on them, comparing them to others. While actually they are fine as they are. So, that’s this week quick thought. Let’s […]
About worry
Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy. Leo Buscaglia That what I was being reminded recently. There are many things in my mind which makes me worry. And sometimes to the extent of panicking. For example, I always get the pre-trip jittery bug. Back then was more on if I pack enough, if I forgets anything and so on. These days, arrangement for my cats, are they going to be fine or not. […]
Just keep trying
This week I saw two similar posts in Instagram story one is by @no_eye_shadow and @twomanylegs which were sharing about two cats, Rosa and Ruru that both of them are feisty and don’t like to give up when it comes to try something new. They will keep trying and trying. For example when the resident cats didn’t welcome them initially. Ruru will sulk for awhile, then he will be back to his usual self. I hope I can be more […]
Lost track of time
My usual schedule for blog post is over the weekend, which either Sat or Sun. However, this week I took some time off from work to celebrate Lunar New Year in my hometown . Happy New Year! Finally the year starts! Hehe.. The first few days, I felt like has been shot by a tranquilizer dart. Despite has been getting solid 7h sleep, I still feel sleepy in late afternoon. Perhaps, I have too much sleep debt? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ My brain […]
Challenge or chore
This month, I’m taking a challenge created by one of my friends, to log 50km in a month. I just agreed to it without thinking as a result, and find halfway that it’s very hard to accomplish. Then I find it more as a chore because I hate to not complete it, while it’s too much stretch for me to complete it. Later I do my math, that in average, I ran short 1-2km mid week and 5km on weekend, […]
