interesting to note... taobao was born during quarantine. what a feat! interesting that times of difficulties brought about so many many advancements. advancements due to necessity. and so many technological advancements came about due to wars.
we are now at war vs a very very cunning virus. i wonder what happens in the coming months... what brilliant minds are at work right this minute. i wonder if signs of covid can be detected on wearables?

teach
those who can't, teach. is that true? i was told that i should consider teaching on a platform called Udemy - teach the world online. i am flattered. but what can i teach? how to talk c@#%? what am i good at?
sleeping?
thinking big?
projecting forward like a couple of decades?
surprisingly sensitive to non-verbal cues! (sometimes) so i guess that would be called luck and not skills
procrastinating (if that is a skill, i will knock it out of the park, big time...)
analyzing.... that must be it.... i found it. my skill. i can analyze anything to the minutest detail.
hmm... maybe teaching is not a good idea.

trust yourself. just do it.
hey! i think i have another blog with this title. deja vu. hey! did i also have a blog with that title!?
detox
mother earth is doing a detox. a major detox.
this is a historical event, and i figure it would be a good time to start blogging again. it is an event that hit the whole world. tearing down borders. making us not different. it does not matter which country. what colour. how old. how rich. how smart. how pretty. we are all the same. all at risk.
the weather seems better. making me wonder if that is how mother earth needed us to be. inside our homes. doing nothing. giving her a rest. slow everything down.
but will we learn? will we realize the difference between needs and wants? will we just re-start and push harder than ever after having a taste of mortality and how transient everything is. how little time we actually have. how much time we spent doing the unnecessary.
i guess we have to see if the whole world can flatten the curve. it seems if we do not do this together, at the same time, it will be futile. on second thought, perhaps it is forcing us to put up borders instead of tearing it down.....

an inexplicable sadness
cannot really say inexplicable. reason is clear. it is the only thing to do to preserve what is left. however, there is an overwhelming sadness. emptiness. perhaps it is fate.

patterns
if i take the time, i would notice certain patterns in my life. there are things that repeat itself in numerous forms, numerous ways because if i do the same things, or react in a similar way, i get the same results.
and because i have some things which were “programmed” in me, i act a certain way when i am on auto pilot... when i am not conscious.
if i want change, i have to do things differently. the only way to do things differently is if i am conscious of what i am doing that is producing the results i am getting. taking the time to figure this out is worth it. and no, it is not overthinking. and sometimes, perhaps acting on it, whether it is or is not the right thing to act on, may just provide an answer as to what should be done next... or at the very least, what is not the right thing to act on!
note to self, take time to figure out the consistent action or reaction that is producing the same results over and over again. do something different. it does not matter what. just do it.

complementary
i don't know about long term goals. but my short term goal is to stop waiting for things to happen.
i was inspired by amanda tan wei ru. she showed me that if you want something badly enough and you work towards it, doing all that you can...the right people, right tools and right opportunities will turn up.
tried it. worked. it was an amazing experience. the law of attraction is real. however, it is not easy to maintain this power. doubts creep in. obstacles appear. easier and more familiar options appear. tempting one to travel the path well trodden.
my saving grace is having a partner who complements me. being analytical and very much a thinker, i found a do-er partner. a runaway train really. we just have to sync up our cycles such that when i think too much and doubt creeps in, she makes headway and propels me ahead. when she is tired, i work on something that she did not want to do, but she feels is important; thus giving her the feeling that we are progressing... motivating her to move on.
let's see where we go from here
