Just a quick update: Sorry, I was away for a few days. I caught COVID in the last few days—I can't believe it's my first time ever, considering all the COVID waves we've experienced in the past few years. I felt exceptionally weak and ended up sleeping through the entire week,

Hello, my dearest friends! It's been quite a while since we last connected. The journey from Hong Kong to London has been magical, filled with love and adventures. In this beautiful country, where I am loved and cherished by my most beloved partner, everything seems to move a bit

The secret of water painting lies in the art of leaving blank spaces. By deliberately leaving areas untouched, you create a sense of space and light. I guess this art can be applied to life as well. Just as in painting, we don't need to fill every little space with colors. We

No fairy tale is real, but we can reach for the stars with our own hands. What comes to mind when you see a croissant? Some people perceive it as saturated fat. Can we instead see it as satisfaction? If all faults can be forgiven and all stinginess can transform into generosity,

We don't always have to find ways to manifest wonderful things happening in our lives. Most of the time, they're already unfolding right before our eyes, ready for us to enjoy and celebrate—one delightful Sunday at a time! Here's a drawing of my breakfast this morning and a

Are you listed as someone's emergency contact on their travel forms or passport? Be there for them whenever they need you. You are likely the only person they wish to see when they are unconscious or even on their deathbed. It takes immense trust and love. Not many people in the

I love the hippie style because it's so colorful and brings so much joy. it's all about letting our free spirits roam and following our hearts, fueled by love. Love, being an immensely powerful force, can transform our lives. Negative emotions can come from all sort of things

When I first started working in my 20s, I fell in love with my customer service job. It felt more "human" than any other job. The entire experience of working and growing in this role has shaped me into a well-rounded individual in society. Communication, just like in any

"A calm and modest life brings more happiness than the pursuit of success combined with constant restlessness." Albert Einstein said this around the time he received the Nobel Prize. What symbolizes success to you? Is it the ownership of a designer bag, a car, or a job

🚌 Waiting for the bus for 10 minutes got me thinking: Do I keep waiting or hop on the train? Remember the "sunk cost" lesson from economics? Those past investments we can never get back will always remain the same, no matter what decision we make now. It's crucial for business

London's been pretty warm these last few days! Around 20 degrees Celsius plus! But the Londoners here are always going, "Oh yeah, it's quite hot, init? But I ain't complaining!” (as if if you complain too much, the sun will be taken away) And the most I hear from my colleagues on
