I was in a project management meeting today and inevitably the phrase “working in silo” came up. I was then reminded of the book that I read a few years ago, simply titled Silo. I think Amazon or Netflix has turned it into a movie, but I haven’t seen it. I still remember reading the…
I used to always try new software, all in the hope of ever increasing productivity and making life a bit easier. It normally doesn’t make life easier, but I enjoyed it. My wife didn’t, at least not as much as every time I migrated my drive or storage system/software, she would be dragged along and…
Recently I got an email from Spotify saying that I need to update my login for Spotify Podcaster because they’re migrating from another app, Anchor, and I need to do that so I can still have access to my podcast episode. Wait, I have a podcast? Yeah, I remember now, I did do some podcast…
I was imparting my wisdom to my daughter or in Malay, it’s called berleter, when my daughter finished my sentence or rather she said something along the lines of what I was saying. I pivoted and said that she is smart to always understand what I am trying to say, but she replied that it…

Someone once asked me what do I, and everyone in the whole world wants. I answered then, happiness. Everyone wants to be happy. I still think the same now, but my definition of happiness is different. In fact I think everyone’s definition of happiness SHOULD be different. If you’re re-using someone else’s definition, most likely…
There’s always the dread of doing something (new) or picking up something that you have been leaving on the floor for a while. This is necessarily more so when you that task has no quick direct consequence but has a considerable long impact; you are more to kid yourself that the long impact wouldn’t suffer…
I’m always fascinated by how people minds’ work, and one of it is how some people can work with their workspace cluttered. I find it distracting and it seems to occupy my mental load, when I see a lot of things within my vicinity. Maybe I have a form of OCD and needs to be…
It’s easy to forget how far we have come as humanity, in discovering technology. I am reminded sometime when I try to plant something in my quaint garden, where I then decided to google and a product for my problem then appears as a recommended purchase. Being a cheapskate, I would then continue looking for…
