I have heard the importance of leaving a note in many occasions. I am a note taker because I didn't want to miss any information. However, do I go back to my notes? Majority of time not. So, what have I realised the power of having a note this time? Acquiring the habit of note-taking... Continue Reading →
When I wasn’t aware of my health…
It has been a while since I had to stop posting for this site. Nothing major. I was unwell. I couldn't sit in front of computer. Why? I had a nasty flu. This wasn't my first flu in my life but probably it was one of the nastiest one I can remember. Started with feeling... Continue Reading →
What’s my human tendency?
I grew up with this notion that I shouldn't admit my own fault. If it is someone else's fault than that won't be my problem. My parents were like that so was I. What I wasn't aware is that bit by bit I was accumulating this sense of guiltiness inside myself. Even though majority part... Continue Reading →
When I attended Children Moon Festival…
Over the weekend, I have attended a local moon festival organised by local Vietnamese Society. We live in a neighbourhood where we have a strong Vietnamese community. This was the first time that we have attended this moon festival. When we have arrived there, what surprised me was the size/capacity of this festival. It was... Continue Reading →
What does it mean to have a right supervisor?
One day I was having a conversation with a peer research student about "How to choose a correct supervisor?" I met my supervisor, Jennie, at first round so I didn't have major problem with finding a supervisor. I went to her because of her area of research suited what I wanted to do at the...

Am I taking a good medicine?
One day, I asked my parents about a memory I had from my childhood. I have a memory that I was lying on a bed at maternal grandparents' place, hooked to IV fluid without any other stimulus. I remember that I hated those times because I wasn't allowed to move or do anything for hours.... Continue Reading →
When I count what I already have…
I used to count what I don't have in life. To some extend, I still count what I don't have but instead of don't have, it is yet to have. I used to envy everyone who have what I don't have such as a car, house, child, qualification etc. Even though I knew that I... Continue Reading →
How can an action lead to change?
When I was in Grade 5, I have experienced isolation from the class. It started with someone commented on my eating habits. Then, it affected the whole class where I was literary 'isolated' from the class. Everything I do, I said became attraction for further dislike. Luckily, it didn't go further than isolation but it...

What urges me to find myself?
One afternoon, I was enjoying my spare moments that I had. I used to go through a survey that was available online about determining personalities. Yes, this was before I found myself. Until I find myself, I loved these tests. Every now and then, I will undertake one of such test and feel like I... Continue Reading →
What’s my greatest accomplishment?
In my recent journey, I have encountered many individuals who suffered from external values. I have been challenged with this too. At first, I thought it was the cultural implications from my parents. Through this journey, I realised it was beyond cultural implications. It happens regardless of culture or gender. It can happen in any... Continue Reading →
