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…
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)…
I am planning to attempt IRSE examination for module B. There are 4 modules altogether, with module A being a prerequisite for the other modules. 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…
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…

I started reading the book with no expectation, other than the numerous high rating and a blurb saying the book is a mix of Dr Who and something else. I am not a fan of doctor Who, and have not seen a complete episode, but have a general idea what the show is about. So…
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…
