    You Reap What You Sow, a While Ago

    ByFaris August 3, 2023August 3, 2023

    Although it doesn’t seem impressive, the strawberry above is precious to me. It is the first strawberry that I have grown (and insyaAllah more to come) and have just eaten. To be honest, it doesn’t taste sweet at all 🥴. The experience on the other hand, is invaluable.

    Rail Accident Report Discussion: Embankment Washout Haddiscoe

    ByFaris August 1, 2023August 3, 2023

    A train stopped where part of the track has been washed out. I think pictures explain it best. As per the picture, the train has already gone a bit over the washout/hole. The driver stopped the train and wanted to reverse it but the car/end that was over the hole, started to lean over. The…

    Summer Lily

    ByFaris July 30, 2023

    This sprang open this morning. It was like the two buds at the background, taking seemingly forever and suddenly it ‘burst’ open. Such a pleasant surprise. Two things I can takeaway from this: 1. You never know when the next breakthrough or chance/change or rezeki is gonna be and come from. It might just burst…

    Rail Accident Report Discussion: Whitehall West Junction 2009

    ByFaris July 25, 2023August 1, 2023

    This is a relatively simple and short report. The accident happened when a train hit a lookout, during a trackwork operation in a red zone (meaning people doing work on tracks, while trains are still running on them). The lookout moved from his position and got too close and into the path of the train….

    The Importance of Being Bored

    ByFaris July 21, 2023July 21, 2023

    Recently I spied my daughter playing some games on the phone. Upon talking to her, she further complained that there is only one game in her phone! She then make her case that almost all of her friends (“Well, at least almost all of them,” she conceded) has Roblox on their phones, or play it…

    Trust The Process

    ByFaris July 17, 2023

    It is easy to keep doing something when you’re rewarded for it. At least it is easy if the reward is great and instant. But in life, rewards don’t come so easily, especially if it is something that is beneficial in the wrong run. We humans however tend to value instant gratification and if we…

    Familiarity

    ByFaris July 12, 2023

    My 3 years old daughter was prescribed antibiotics. She took her medicine nonchalantly. I was discussing with my wife however whether our daughter should continue to take her medicine. She was within earshot and quickly piped up, “Ubat yang mana satu? Yang mathematic ke?” “Which medicine, the mathematic?” I was silent for a while before…

    No One Really Knows…

    ByFaris July 11, 2023August 25, 2023

    I was listening to this podcast recently and went through a few emotions. At first the guest sounds genuine and interesting, and it seem I would be learning a lot as she seemed to say a lot of unique wisdom, but then it seems a bit like ‘toxic productivity’ with suffering (or is it hardship)…

    ByFaris July 5, 2023July 8, 2023

The idea is module A covers the overall and asked about ‘everything’ about signalling but at a surface level. Module B, C and D focus deeper, with each module has…

    His Dark Material: Northern Light Book Review

    ByFaris July 4, 2023July 8, 2023

    I remember reading reviews about the film, and like all reviews, it said that the book was waaay better. I saw the movie and although I didn’t remember much except that there was a bear and lots of snow, I felt that the movie was fun. So I promised myself that I would read the…
