Mental contentment is to accept situation beyond our control and channel the negative energy to a positive thoughts (tri_spirit) A quote I saw last week which reminds me that how tough the situation is, it’s up to me how I will act on it. So, I’m telling myself, if I have some worries and can’t get it out from my head, rather than worrying it or panicking, let’s go out, do some jogging or swimming or cycling or maybe just […]

Happy 26th week
This week is a mark of half a year in 2015. Time flies isn’t it? I hope everyone is doing well! With all of your resolution. I found a little encouragement from WordPress, a reminder that I started blogging 6 years ago. Second half of the year, please be kind to me. 🙂
A small talk that made my day
The boy was studying for his exam when I reached home. He was only Primary 4, my land lord’s son. The helper told me that he’s inspired to study IT in the future, to be like me. (Wow!) He added, so that he can play games while working since he will be facing computer whole day.. (Ahem.. that’s not the good motivation boy.. Or I can say, I used to think the same thing too. How I chose IT because […]
To be honest with ourselves
I remember clearly that on one fine day, while I was working on my website project, one of my flatmate entered my room and asked me, “How can you build a website?” Looking at her while my hands were typing some HTML code, and replied “Why not?” Let me share you my story. I’ve been playing with HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, ASP, for quite some time. I admit that I’m not the best coder among my peers. I enrolled into […]
Remember why you are here
Recently I listened to a design talk, one of the speaker begins her presentation with a slide titled, “Remember why you are here”. And following that title, there is a sentence, “I started this field because I’m passionate about [blanks]” This brought my memory back to a book I read in the past, a self help book on to find joy about your work. I’m sure working can be exciting to us yet horrifying to some of us. It’s either […]
Finding my carrot [revisited]
In relation with my post earlier.. After sometime since I was asking question about what are the things that motivates us, I have the answer for myself. I have my “carrot” and I have my “stick”. I use myself as example, my carrot is to produce a piece that will amuse people, a website in particular. I like to create something that is visually appealing to be enjoyed by people. My background is not from creative line, in fact, from the […]
What motivates you?
Do you ever have some days where you just don’t want to do anything? I’m sure we do. On some point of time in our life, we have days when we are totally unmotivated. Regardless it’s about doing something that we are really like, for example in my case, blogging or taking pictures, or developing websites. (yes, I like to develop beautiful website but I have times when I feel scared and very unwilling to do it). I read quite […]
Is blogging useless?
One day one of my friend asked me during lunch time, what would I think about blogging. Well I have a blog and I like to blog. The reason is I can share my thought and with hope to inspire others. How did I start to blog? It started when I was on my final year in high school. I was inspired, many times, by reading stories from Chicken Soup books. Most of the story are short and simple, based […]
