I neither expect abundance of love, nor less love. It’s just confusing to encounter unproportional love. I used to think I am weak, susceptible to all sorts of emotions and deserved less. All because I couldn’t comprehend and withstand the nature of tears cooking up in my eyes in times of trouble. We are what…

Take a break, be kind.
Here comes the day of week when everyone goes ‘Friyay‘! All because we are accustomed to Friday being the last day of work week, it sends a big relief for most of us that tough week is about to over, and marking the beginning of weekend of course! It’s not because we dislike our job….
Satisfaction that counts.
After weeks of being under the weather, I finally set my foot back on the treadmill this morning. Snoozing thrice from 7am to 7.10am to 7.20am across two mobile phones, kicking myself up involved putting an end to the last scene of my dream, and raising my feet in the air for a quick blood…
Passion, do you have it?
Passion, we either have it or we don’t. There is no grey line. Pass by the same entrance everyday, today is one of those days when I stopped to deliberately observe the regular signage pinned on the wall next to the automated glass door. “Weird, the brand logo doesn’t look right. It looks like it’s…
One in a million.
Living 18 years under parents supervision (some even more), we are taught there are only few ways in approaching life.

Overthinking.
Not that we are thinking too big of a picture. Not that we are inattentive. We are just being intuitive. ‘Thin-slicing’ enables us to make smart decisions based on limited information with very little contemplation (Gladwell, 2005). Not that we are unconcerned. Not that we are taking decisions for granted. Human has the capability to…
Confrontation dilemma.
Forces from the top, squeezing from the bottom, squashing in between. We wish we could break free from this suffocating intensity. Mind plays up – a thousand possibilities, a million imaginations, but there are just wandering thoughts. How could they? Why is this happening? How did they not appreciate my honest intention? Again and again,…
It was all you.
Sun’s setting, night’s falling. Presence of ten, one remained. Heap of work, yet a pair of hands, Chain of thoughts, awaiting to flare. No squabble, no question. Reposition your vision, ignite your mission. Remind your purpose, kindle your passion. For whatever you do, do it for your reason. Night’s gone, comes the dawn. First…
Tomorrow is another new day.
Get done with today and be happy with you have achieved. Those that you couldn’t, fret not. Tomorrow is another new day for you to hit the reset button. It will be far more productive than the end of today. Photo by Michał Kubalczyk
The Lazy Elixir
If you have come across articles about reducing working hours, promoting flexible working hours, or any initiatives to drive productivity and convenience at work, they are not new news. In fact, some of these initiatives are considered initially to assist women in competing better at workplace, in particular working mothers who return from long maternity…
