she strives to do it all
One year has gone by swiftly. Just like that, I have been away from home for one year and three months long. Record breaking, couldn’t believe that I made it this far. The last was back in 2004 when I was on a year-long study mission, not as long as this one though. Tough at…
Often we are encouraged to step up and take the lead in overcoming challenges. The more exposed we are, the more we learn, and the wiser we become. Understanding what are the challenges, how to overcome them, and taking actions are all imperative. Unfortunately, not many would like to conquer them all. Some love dwelling…
Since this morning, creative illustrations with #internationalwomensday and #IWD2021 flooded all over social media, appreciating women from all walks of life.

This week, I started dedicating a few hours in exploring the topic of sustainability. A goal that I pledged for 2021 in doing something meaningful (Do something), nothing beats awareness. Sustainability topic is not a new news. We hear about it every day, especially in this part of a more mature society – Western Europe….
Finished a long distance phone call an hour ago with a friend. I can’t help but thinking over the grievances he shared with me about his job. Admittedly, the employment market does not look favourable at present. With increasing pandemic cases, it will take a while before recovery sign surfaces. Unfortunately, Covid doesn’t discriminate geographically…
