Clear Mind and Space

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 organised, but I think people who knows me would say that I am not so, looking by how messy my desks are (at least that’s what I think). This is because the way I tidy up things are basically pushing them away outside of my views and not really organising them but to me, as long as they are away from sight, they’re away from mind.

I asked chatGPT and its unconvincing answer was that people used to do so much shopping that the police or enforcement said that it was a black day, i.e. it is a bad day to work. The term was then supposedly hijacked by capitalism and applied commercially. Yeah,…

    Apparently the news in my home country, in respect to public transport, is that the government and some companies, is planning to introduce an autonomous self-driving bus. Needless to say, this caught people’s attention. But it is still in trial, and it is not clear when the technology will be mature enough to be in…

  • Urgency in Compliment

    Sometimes we Malaysian, or to a certain extent, Asian, are a bit lacking in giving compliments. The jokes about Asian parents that when their child comes home with 98% exam marks, they will ask where did the 2% went too. Then there’s also compliment given, but a bit too late. I realised this when I…
