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…

I had a problem to describe this to a Chinese neighbour, I simply said it’s a Malaysian party. What I find best about these gatherings is they make me feel grateful of…
Usually when you pick up medicines from the pharmacy, there’s a verification process where they ask you your address. In other places, sometimes this verification involves asking your birth date. I have always wondered how is this safe? The date is not that secret as most people would announce it either by bringing cakes to…
I used to work with a German guy named Landgraf, and when asked what I could improved, he said that I was not proactive enough. I am paraphrasing this, as this was more than 10 years ago and I don’t remember the exact words. He said that it didn’t seem that I understand or show…
I was trying to optimise my life today, by making a Google sheet that lists all of my children’s school events, and after that I thought it would be great to have a script that could automatically create these as events in a calendar. I already have a calendar allocated for the kids, I just…
