Recently while browsing social media, I noticed a friend who in my eyes, managed to achieve a lot at his age. Then I remembered someone telling me that this guy was from some elite school or college, which promptly caused my mind to discredit his achievement. In my mind I said, “No wonder he’s at…
Netflix recently added the Harry Potter movies in their repertoire, which introduced my children to the world created by the writer J.K Rowling. It has been ages since I read the book and watched the movies, so it was quite hazy for me while watching the start of the Harry Potter and The Philosopher’s stone….
This post is more to convince myself that it is worth it doing professional exams. I am currently now pursuing IRSE examination for module B and also thinking of taking INCOSE examination. As you can imagine, this requires a lot (or at least quite a significant) effort in preparing for the exams. And this still…

Recently my daughter had a bad cough, so bad that she can’t sleep at night. In turn this caused her to be tired, and further worsen her condition. We then brought her to the doctors. Getting an appointment with the doctor is a story by itself, but what I am writing is about the visit…
I celebrated my birthday recently. Been contemplating whether to write a post or not about it since if I write it here, I’m leaving a cyber trail and exposing myself to cyber security issues where malicious actors might steal my identity. Then I remember that you can buy a list online (not even on the…
