Hello 2024

A decade ago, this date in 2024 would be so unimaginable and futuristic, that it is hard to imagine how the world would be, compared to 2014. Yet, here we are. The world seems familiar, and a lot of things are like we imagined, but much too differs from our imagination. I still remember that in 2014, I was driving to work in a factory in the far edge of Selangor. And now, I still need to drive a car, there’s no flying drone carrying me to work or to buy groceries.

But the experiences have been not what I imagined, to put it mildly. I didn’t imagine covid or at a personal level, to have kids running around the house. I didn’t imagine that I would be leaving Malaysia and be working in the UK. But yet, here I am.

Here’s to more imaginable and unimaginable tales and adventure.

    Speech Intelligence

    When I was in school, I believed that there can be intelligence without the ability to explain, but nowadays I think that although that can still be true, the ability to explain is a greater sign of intelligence. Because sometimes you think you’ve understood it in your mind but when you try to explain it…
