In recent taxi trip to airport, I met a chatty taxi driver. Sometimes I do want to just enjoy the ride, but there are times I don’t mind to chat. Started by normal question like whether I’m going for holiday because I have 24” luggage but it’s not that heavy. I said it’s a work trip just that I don’t have smaller luggage and it’s too much for cabin sized luggage. Next question about where I’m working came up, I […]

The art of repeating
Repetition can be boring. Doing the same thing over and over again. Or can be scary too when you need to deal with some unpleasant experience again and again over short period of time. For example, cockroaches in your house keep showing up. =_=! (Ugh..) But one thing I realize too is depending on the gap between one and another, it can be a good thing. Because it’s like a training, like it or not, just get used to it. […]
Global citizen
I have two very interesting encounter this week from my recent travels On my way back to Singapore from Haneda airport. I met a Japanese grandma who travels with her grandchild.

A note to self
I want to have all the good things in life If life is always up, isn’t going to be a flat life? Why this person have this? Why that person have that? Why I can’t get it too? Why do you want your life to be the same as other person. When you think it that way, you wouldn’t have interesting life 12 May 2013
Kids perspective vs ours
I had Gunbro in my iPhone game folder. Since it’s been sometime I haven’t played it, I wanted to continue my progress. But I was surprised that my money was halved of it used to be, my grenades was zeroed, but I noticed that my level is increased. Well, since I’m partnering with a friend, it’s quite normal to earn experience from her playing too. Oh well, I realize that not only that, I also have new gun that I […]
Trap by a routine
My weekly schedule is: Monday is clearing some pending stuffs from last week or new emails on that day. Normally I will feel beaten up after I reach home. Tuesday, I will head to the gym in the morning, before going to office (sometimes needs some coffee or tea to perk me up) and I post a blog after I reach home. Wednesday, it’s time to revise my Japanese, do the homework or simply watch movie and think what should […]
