I carved a space for myself today. A Daniel kahneman book (admittedly way too heavy for my life situation now 😅) and a caramel Macchiato. I sat there in this café, sipping my macchiato, and read without any intention to understand the cognitive dissonance explained by Mr. Kahneman 😂. I just let the words passed … Continue reading Bubble

In many Asian cultures, a woman … Continue reading The Tao of Self-Confidence

I often forgot to bring my hardcopy book, and to get back into the office just to take the book … Continue reading Alone

His background stories often depict Malay people who live in the … Continue reading Andrea Hirata
