Live with no regrets

Lately my wife PY and I have been watching a Chinese reality TV series called 一路上有你 "Yi Lu Shang You Ni" which translates to "You are with me the whole journey". It sounds kinda lame in English but honestly it's a very profound sentence in Chinese. Anyway, the show follows three married couples as they...

2018

Here we go, it's my annual review of my year! It's been a while since I last posted, so it's kind of a "two birds, one stone" thing. January 2018 I can't recall anything significant about January. I don't think anything much happened. But if I would try and squeeze something out to say anyway,...

Act Your Age

I grew up hearing this admonishment being said to me time and again: "Act your age!" I was told that when I was 7. I was told that when I was 13. I was told that when I was 20. I was recently told that again; I'm 28 this year. How would I know what...

Appreciated

In this month, I decided to approach some of the people I trusted in my company for some feedback exchange. I asked them to tell me what were the good and bad things about me. And today, one of my colleagues said some things that really touched me. I was tongue-tied by his words for...

Quick fix for external HDD

I'll just jump straight to it. This is my external hard disk. One day, I carelessly left it on my mattress. Without realizing it was there, I lay down and accidentally squished it against my back. To my dismay, I heard a soft "crack". Upon quick inspection, the USB 3.0 Micro port was loose; I...

Polar Bear and Dinosaur

This is a short story about us. She likes drawing, and she has a knack for art. One day, she showed me a drawing of a dinosaur that she made. It was a very cute dinosaur line art, and because of that, I decided to nickname her "Dinosaur" or "Dino". In return, she wanted a...

Go crazy

My wife and I have been trying to get to know each other better. One of the ways we're taking is by answering a list of questions about ourselves. Although we've only gone through a few so far, it's still quite interesting because we have come across one or two which we don't know the...

The Banana Identity

  I wanted to do a bilingual post, but I think it's going to be a bit too long. Haha. So I'll just do it in my dominant language: English. *** Prologue: Once upon a time, I was a banana. But today, I think I would still consider myself a banana, because I'm a rebel....

Working out

My wife remarked that I've shrunk in size. Without much beating around the bush, I immediately started lifting weights to try and bulk up. After doing some research online, reading a bunch of articles and watching a number of YouTube videos, I think I'm on the right track to gaining size and strength. I consider...
