Mwahhahaha. Hello again after almost a year. Yeah. I admit that nowadays due to advanced technologies, I feel very lazy to blog. To blog, I need to think about what my post is about, do I have sufficient images to share? I also need to write a lot and overthink my writing, grammar, and writing style. Mehh. I can easily share my life updates via Instagram stories, a picture tells thousands of words they say. But we tend to appreciate on things we spend time on. That's why I still brace myself through this laziness to write this. I hope Aan 20-30 years later will appreciate this shit. Life Updates So Far (sorted from the latest) Coldplay Music of the Spheres Kuala Lumpur On Nov 22, 2023 — I went to my first concert ever. Apparently, after convincing my parents, they allowed me to attend it although they're on the conservative side, pffft. I bought the ticket last May when I was still with ServeDeck. Yeah, I quit ServeDeck in July. Hahah. Buying this made me feel literally rich. ...

All we want is to be in the right place at the right time. It’s all about having a good instinct for when the time is ripe to make a move. The proper timing is an important part of your career since it reduces friction and enables you to accomplish more in less time. In conclusion, timing is crucial to productivity and time management. I want it, I got it.  We're just peasants. We're not like those riches, corrupt politicians with money, power, and cables  to easily get what we want. To ask for something, we need to spend some effort to: 💩 Finding the right context  💩 Directly reducing blockers   💩 Be easily adaptable and align your goals with the environment  💩 Preparing enough resources 💩 Listening to yourself very carefully 1. Find the right context (by chance, easy), or create it (hard). The context here means the surrounding circumstances that relate to your to-do action. The first rule of good timing is to find the right context support...

I planned to blog consistently this year, perhaps monthly. But it turns out to be easier to plan than to execute. Why? I used to post my writings weekly during my university days. Sadly, as time goes by I started to have high standards and expectations regarding what I wanted to write and post. I want all my content to have a certain level of new knowledge/benefits that would impress me if I were the reader. In order to do so, I need to read more articles and studies; eventually costing me more time — which nowadays I don't have the luxury of. Sigh. Who sets the rule for my post to be self-impressive? Me . Are the readers' levels of 'This is Impressive' as same as mine?  Not sure . Then why should I care much about how other people perceive my writings? Logically speaking, I am the one that ruins the fun of this writing habit.  I'm the one that did this to myself . I have plenty of drafts. Rereading them made me hate myself. But probably I should stop caring too muc...

This is going to be short, just some rantings. But sometimes (low-key every time) I get sick, I'll be under the impression of I'm going to live fast die young .    No lie, I bought 2 life insurance policies from 2 different companies, along with my medical card plan because of this shit running in my blood. I've been living with this high white blood count since finishing my highschool. Now, I've been putting up with this for 11 years already. Every time the count hikes up for no reason, I'll be burning up 38°C++ to 40°C, tremoring as fuck and it is damn annoying.  My results from my complete blood test these 3 months. WBC  – white blood count, Gran#  – granulocytes (neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils), Lym% – my lymphocyte is also low most of the time, lol. – I got A for my SPM's Bio 😏 Every time I dropped by the clinic, they'll do the blood test because they already knew something's wrong when you're on a fever without any flu symptoms. I actual...

 I haven't posted anything since January 2021. So, I made an IG story to ask people to ask me. So, Q1: Mcm mana ko stay motivated - D You will die. And you won't know when, where and how. Aku selalu fikir, akan banyak benda yang aku menyesal bila mati, welp, macam time yang aku tak optimizekan utk be happy and buat benda yang beneficial utk aku, badan aku and orang lain yang layak.  Aku tahu time-time pandemik ni akan buat orang terperam kat rumah, WFH, overloaded dengan kerja office + kerja2 housewife kalau dah married, tapi kau kena ingat, time won't wait. Dia tak tunggu kau sedih ke, depressed ke, dia jalan terus. So, do something. Be productive, hobi yg beneficial ke, workout ke utk kesihtan, belajar skills baru ke, masak ke. Aku tengok drama/movie jugak, tapi aku limit masa. Dapat apa je layan drama non-stop? Tapi medical knowledge tengok drama medical korea useful jugaklah. As for how I stay motivated to cycle for kilometers daily, sebabnya;   Basikal aku mahal...

This documentary has been heavily, significantly impacted me. It's been day-2 since I watched this, but the aftereffect is still lingering on me today when I contemplating buying that Fjallravel Ulvo fanny that I really want for my jogging session. So here are the takeaways from Netflix's The Minimalists — Less Is Now by Ryan and Josh. Minimalist is not just about room decor, it's about decluttering, simplifying, and organizing your life. We often confuse simplicity with easy, living a simple life takes a lot of work. Going minimalist means to remove the excess to focus on what really important. Minimalist is not just an aesthetic attribute, it is the clutter-free way of life. We've been impulse buying too much.  We bought too much clutter into our lives, and most of the time it did not add any value. As we get more space, we want to fill it with more things, as we get more things, we need a bigger space after, the cycle will go on and on and on. What is essential, wha...

We're gonna die whenever. Nobody knows when. But Imam Ghazali said 'Death' is the closest things that ever happened to us. Are you living your every single day happily? just in case you would die hours after reading this. Remember the feeling when you ended your school days, time's flying fast. and the feeling when you graduated? time's sure flying fast. That we'll be the exact feeling when you're in your deathbed. Wait, it will be added with your everlasting regret on your lack of 'ibadah'. Had to use the badasses one.  So, there's a person telling me that I am the most positive person alive so far.   Wrong. I may look positive, but what I can deduct about myself is I am neither a pessimist nor optimist. I'm a blood-sucking opportunist. I'm seeking chances while making friends. And in friendship, I essentialize mutualism. If I help you, you need to help me back. And to befriend me, is your choice. I don...
