New Year’s Resolution 2012
A review of my last year’s resolution revealed that I’ve only completed 4/10 of my resolutions, a failing grade. I wouldn’t consider it a total failure though as many items were still in progress or on the verge of completion. I still insist on making my New Year’s Resolution this year because “…the trouble with […]

10K Run (Training) – 3
Jogged for ~8km this afternoon, my longest run to date! Slowly building up my confidence to finish the 10k run next weekend… During the long jog, I started to think of life as a long marathon run – difficult at first, but become smoother as your muscles are warmed up, and the test of perseverance […]

Solitude
It was a rather long way home after soccer tonight. Tired, but my mind was quite refreshed after the oxygenating exercise, uncountable thoughts crossed my mind. I like this state of mind, especially on a late quiet and cool night… Pondered a bit about life, lately I’ve been rather lukewarm on almost everything (career, relationships, […]

R.I.P. Steve Jobs
Heard the sad news of Steve Jobs’ death this morning. Sad because we have lost a true visionary who had brought forth so many breakthrough technologies, touching and transforming the lives of so many people. Sad also because he’s also one of the very few people I look up to. In remembrance of SJ, I […]

I had the feeling that I’m getting too old for cakes and surprises however, just the gathering of good ol’ friends is more than satisfying for me. Looking back my 30+2 years, I’m much grateful […]

Life after Dissertation
There’s this feeling of emptiness now that the dissertation had been submitted. It feels awkward waking up in the morning and realizing there’s no more school work awaiting me. The dissertation must have dragged on far too long and it just seems surreal that it’s actually completed. Nonetheless, I know there’s the sense of relief […]

Japan’s Earthquake
The air seems particularly hot and stuffy today. Went to church, dim sum with family, watered my plants, tended my aquarium, and killed hours at night sitting in front of the TV – a typical Sunday routine. It must have been years that I have the habit not to do any “work” on Sundays (had […]

<>
There were times when I would romanticize myself living in a remote small town by the sea with my other half, leading a tranquil and simple life. But is this sustainable? Re-evaluating my dream life now, I want to live in a relaxed, convivial, and sustainable neighborhood where my friends are at walkable distances. With […]

Mom’s Hearing Problem
My father took my mom to the hospital this afternoon, she had been complaining about the loss of hearing and occasional ‘ringing’ sound. It turned out, for reasons yet to know, one of her ears may have permanently loss 90% of hearing! I was unusually calm. Not a word uttered from my mouth as I […]
