A few months ago, an online post is famous about having her kitchen in almost all white and her appliances from the very expensive brand, SMEG. Among the online comments that I remember was, “How does she manages to keep her kitchen so white?”. I remember because I had the same thought. Turns out, or…
This is a short children’s book but I thought I would review it here mostly so that I can look back in the future. I like the book. It tells the story about Robert, who thinks his angry teacher, is a monster. But upon one afternoon accidentally spending time with her in the park, he…
There’s always something to learn from anyone. Travelling half the world, from the south-east of Asia to this west side of Europe, I have learned a lot of new things.

That sounds a bit morbid, “self post-mortem”. Maybe a better wording is my own self review on what happened during the exam. This is meant more as a self reminder in the future, should I need to prepare for mod B again (hopefully not!) or even for the next exams. Recently I completed the Institute…
… in 5 years time? That’s the question that is normally asked in interviews, or something along the line. Whether it’s a 3-years, 5-years, or a decade long plan into the future, they all ask the same thing; to project or foretell the future. I was asked the question today during a discussion with my…
