Hi friends! It’s time for my second course review and I’m glad that this is coming out a week after my review of Self-Publishing 101 because I would have felt rather weird to have procrastinated on reviewing a course designed to stop you from procrastinating. So let’s dive in. What is 15 Minute Magic about?… Read More Course Review: 15 Minute Magic by Sara Tasker (MeandOrla)
Like I mentioned last week, I’ll be doing a mini-series of reviews about courses that I’ve taken and what I think about them. Just a quick note upfront, I have no affiliate links with this course so I do not financially benefit if you decide to purchase it. So, this first course I’m reviewing is… Read More Course Review: Self Publishing 101 by Mark Dawson
We’re coming to the end of the year, and as usual it feels weird to do the usual reviews/blog content, so I’ll be spending the next few days reflecting on the year and what I liked from the different things I consumed. First up is the podcast category and can I just say that it’s… Read More 2020 Year in Review: Podcasts (2020)
It’s been a while since I wrote one of these, but I was inspired by a few recent conversations. I’ve been talking with my friends about what working from home has been like, and it seems like many of us are getting fatigued by the whole thing. It seems like one of the causes is… Read More Mental Health Monday #6: WFH/Coronavirus Fatigue & Core Beliefs
Instead of doing one mega-post and potentially missing out on stuff at the end of the year, I thought I’d do a mid-year update (I know, I’m late!) on what I’m listening to! While I can’t really get into audiobooks for some reason, I listen to so many podcasts and am always looking for more.… Read More Mid-Year Podcast Updates
Last Saturday, I met a geisha online!! This would be my second time meeting a geisha (first being the Kimono competition in Kyoto) and my first time meeting a Hakone geisha. As a quick background, Geisha (or Geigi) can be found in the following prefectures [1]: Kyoto : Kamihichiken Geigi (上七軒芸妓)、Gion Koubu Geigi (祇園甲部芸妓)、Gion Higashi Geigi (祇園東芸妓)、Pontochou… Read More I met a Geisha online and you can too!
Singapore has entered a circuit-breaker phase, which essentially means that we are in a soft lock-down. With this, we’ve joined many people around the world who are in lockdowns or social distancing measures of varying degrees. All these measures, while absolutely necessary to flatten the curve, will have huge impacts. Apart from the impact on… Read More Small Businesses You Can Support (Financially and Otherwise)
This is the start of an irregular series where, on Mondays, I’ll be posting about mental health. It might be an update or something that I’ve learnt, it might be a collection of links that resonated with me, or it might be a book review. I’ve been talking about mental health on and off for… Read More Mental Health Monday #1: Burnout, Anxiety, and other links
I can’t believe I almost forgot about this! I went for the Jimami Tofu 5D Dining Experience the week after STF and absolutely enjoyed it, but I also started my smartphone detox soon after and with my new reading speed (or rather, with the extra reading time I’ve found on my commute), I’ve been so… Read More Movie Review: Jimami Tofu (5D Dining Experience)
I can’t find the image now, but just after the Avengers Endgame opening weekend, one of my friends shared an image of the top movie in various countries. Endgame topped them all – except in Japan, where the number one movie was Detective Conan: Fist of the Blue Sapphire. If the fact that Detective Conan… Read More Movie Review: The Fist of the Blue Sapphire (Detective Conan Movie #23)
