Motivational factors

Examples that push you to do something faster:
  • Stress / excessive nagging from parents
  • Peer pressure
  • Monetary / intangible benefits
  • Pressure from upper management
  • Not liking what you are currently doing

Work should be as fun.

Freedom is...

Freedom is...

immersing in the outdoors
feeling the sun and wind on your face
living everyday the way you want it, to the fullest.

Dad advised not to work till so late.

So I can either choose to bring my work home, or....

When I signed myself up for skydiving, I thought that it would be a once in a lifetime experience. Bucket list and that's it, I believed.

16,000 ft into the clouds and 60 seconds of free fall made me think otherwise.

I think I want to do it again. I love skydiving, for the extreme ecstacy, adrenaline pumping and unbelievable feel of freedom and exhilaration confirm that you're very much alive and kicking. And this feeling, which invigorates your every senses and every nerve, is the best feeling in the world.

Sweet as.

Our own BBQ skewer

Carved from a tree branch!

So as Dave our dear farmer host educated, you got to find fresh and young branches. How do you tell that they are? Find those that look green and alive. Their bark should be soft and thin and when sliced off, a pale green branch should reveal.



The greedy ducks thought the cravings were food scraps! Haaa so cute.

And you can even achieve twice the result with half the effort haha, with a forked branch! 


So proud of our own skewers! BBQ will never taste the same again!









































First time eating hare meat! Dave took out his stash and fried them on a pan. He kept the meat in 3 separate containers - of different parts of the hare! We tried the back, leg and the miscellaneous. Hare meat actually tastes like deer, but more gamey and tougher.

Random notes from Ye

On 2 separate occasions, I was working at my home desk when Ye sat beside, doodled on a post-it and passed it to me:
