I am rearranging some furniture around the house to accommodate some work arrangements and all these are starting to annoy me. I just want a place to do some extra work, and the challenge of finding an arrangement that – works for me, works for the family, is suitable for both summer and winter, and…
My daughter has a few close friends from school, whom she calls BFFs, and they share similar interests like artsy stuff, reading books and something else which I don’t pretend I know. But sometimes she does relate about how her friends do this or that differently compared to her doing it, so despite their similarities,…
My wife and I visited a group of friends recently and we inadvertently talked about future and retirement. One point of interest was that in Malaysia, people are normally forced out of work and into retirement, while in the UK, quite a lot of people, especially knowledge workers, continue to work past their 60s.

I remember attending a talk about 10 years ago where this founder said that he tracked everything, from the calories to the duration of his exercise, because he read from a book, that what you tracked, will get better results. I don’t remember the book but I will get AI to find it for me….

I felt a bit slow today while working, in the sense it took me quite a long time to digest certain part of my work. I also joined a study group and by the end of it, I was partially lost. My colleague who conducted the study group blissfully explained points that I was struggling…
A colleague recently asked whether a study group session would be recorded. Two thoughts occurred to me: first was I missed one of the study sessions weeks before, and I haven’t ‘catch up’ on it, and second was this colleague would need to wade through weeks of recording and I think it would be better…
My 5 years old has been playing games on a laptop for a while, and she has also played a few times on a desktop connected to a monitor. On other times, I use this monitor too as an extended monitor, connected to my laptop. The setup is the laptop opened, with its screen extending…
I was tidying up my digital desktop when I found videos from my old days, 13 years ago to be exact. I was explaining to my friend how I won a phone, and said he was the umpteenth person I had to relate the story, so he jokingly recorded me explaining it. The video still…
