15 October 2016.
It was two days before my FYP report submission. That whole day was spent on proofreading my report. It was very tedious and boring task. To recharge myself, I decided to went up to “the spot” and did a lot of self-talk. “The spot” is basically a laundry drying spot at level 5 in my block where almost no one was ever here. …
It’s the time of year where I apply kaizen: To stop, reflect, and continuously improve.
I’m scared of the future. It seemed so uncertain and scary out there. Meanwhile, my days in university is numbered. I couldn’t start it with positivism and optimism like what I did in my 17th, where after reading it back, I laughed at myself 😃 Many things have changed but some things will not.

But if I decided not to go to school, on average it’s just 5k steps per day. …

The 24-hour hackathon did not ask for any participation fee. Intuitively, having joined several hackathons before, I knew that this is a nice deal to get free food over the weekends. So, I signed up. …

July was a month of endings.
July, like in other years, started with 1st of July. But this year was different, this year, I was not feeling well. I forced myself to go to work that day, but left early to go back and rest. …
