Of course it is, don’t answer that. It is a rhetorical question after all, one that sometimes crept around the back of my mind when some anti-green post lays down their fact. For all my pompousness of being analytical, I have stopped to bother checking the facts laid out by people who claim that it…
I’ve been having toothache since a few weeks now, and today I finally decided to call and make an appointment. At the appointment, the dentist checked and said I have the option of doing a filling or pulling my bad tooth off. I chose the latter. There’s a few reasons but one of them is…
I’ve not updated this website for a while as I have been busy with work mostly. And what made me update today is my gripe recently where my work was reviewed with some slightly strong remarks. It bothered me more than I would like. The reason I guess because I feel that I had done…
Disclaimer: I am neither a cybersecurity expert nor an Aikido practitioner so apologies in advance for any faux pas or false facts. I was watching this video recently where it interviews an Aikido masters and he talked about Iai (Iaido), where one is always prepared to draw their sword due to sudden attack, which relates…

If we look…
Yesterday I complained to my wife that I don’t really like signalling railway, not the way some of my colleagues or the people I meet in the industry. I then went on that I don’t really adore engineering, either mechanical engineering such as automotive, where some people know the horsepower of the new concept car…
I read a newsletter where it was rumoured/assumed that people were faking AI. How weird, and it turned out that wasn’t true. Now if people were using AI to fake things up, that is quite common nowadays. Videos or audios of people, especially famous ones, can be easily created. But there’s almost always a slight…
When I was in school, I believed that there can be intelligence without the ability to explain, but nowadays I think that although that can still be true, the ability to explain is a greater sign of intelligence. Because sometimes you think you’ve understood it in your mind but when you try to explain it…
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…
