On a Tuesday evening 2 weeks ago, I packed everything that was important to me, drove out the parking lot of my workplace, and haven't been back since. Some say it takes 21 days to form a habit. It's now

First, why be kind to yourself even? Out of all the things you can be (rich, famous, cool 😎), why be kind? And why be kind to yourself? The simple answer is: because you can. And the more complicated

There are always six types of students in any classroom - the smart and popular, the pretty and popular, the social butterfly, the class clown, the average, but well-liked and then, someone like me: the

I once stood in the middle of a busy street in Taipei and thought myself, look at how busy everyone is, but here I am, on a vacation. I have so many free hours and they haven't got even a minute to spare.

I don't like to think I'm busy. But I have been quite busy in 2019. I've been wanting to write more fiction this year, but things took a very different turn as the year progressed. My businesses started

Let's start with my privileges. I've never been homeless. I've always had a roof over my head. When it rains particularly hard outside (like it does now in November), I think about the homeless. What will

I knew things would change. But I was naive about how much. The first couple of months post 30 felt almost the same as the months before. Then, out of the blue, I felt my 20s pulled from under me. I said

Most of us would quit our jobs. Buy something shiny for ourselves. Give some money to people we think we owe a lot to. Maybe donate. Go on one or a few vacations. Invest. Buy another shiny thing. Give

My friends are telling me I don't update this blog anymore. I didn't know they were even reading. But they're right. I haven't been updating this blog in almost 6 months. That's 100 in internet years.

sometimes, all it takes is to remember how small we are in relation to the world we live in. And yes, I've started doodling again. I've recently switched over from Photoshop to Affinity Photo. I'm pleasantly

I've not drawn in a while, so I decided to pick up the pen and start again today. Posted from my blog with SteemPress :

I've decided to end the daily blog. I guess this surprises nobody 😂 The reason is mainly that I have some long-form ideas I want to work on and I don't think this daily rhythm is aligned with that. I

Almost three years ago, I was going through a bad business partnership. Left and right, I was being accused of being incompetent, lazy and inexperienced. I felt really bad about myself. I was running a

Is it because I'm older now? I don't remember being this tired after just one week of socialising. But ah well, adjust with the times, I suppose? I'm starting to enjoy time alone these days a lot more

When I first read Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad, Poor Dad, I was a teen who hated being in school. I loved the idea of financial freedom. Back then, it felt like an escape from the drudgery and monotony of

First, how she is kinder than most people I know, including myself. She always comforted me when I was bullied in primary school. She gives little children gifts and candy. And most importantly, she always

I used to strive for work-life balance - working on weekdays, and not weekends. Cutting off work at 6pm. These days, I find myself constantly working more hours than I intended. I work from Monday to
