Blog is so 2000... And that's why I am doing it now. Because when the noise fades, the true value reveals naturally. This post serves as a memo that explains why I am creating this blog and what I plan to feature in it.
The pandemic has been dramatically changing everyone's way of living, working, studying and connecting with others.
Why
Staying at home for the majority of the time is a curse and a blessing to me. Although I do like to spend some time at home to enjoy a cup of tea or a blind draft of League. I am not a 100% home body. The fact that I have to spend the day time at home is mentally draining to me. Workout is not the same when your gym is right on your yoga mat with tons of other things splattered in the living room. Coffee is not the same when your coffee shop is the same as your gaming chair and your office chair. Food is not the same when your restaurant is merely the to-go boxes and containers. Plus, when will be the best occasion for my Sunday best and new lipstick I just got from Sephora? Let alone all theaters and museums have shut down, so one of the major entertainments is streaming from the laptop after work.
Now you can tell how much I "enjoyed" this stay at home order.
All negativities set aside, let's see what I have found valuable during this time. During this time, I have been talking less, watch and read more. Not only social media posts, but more so news, articles, and novels. All the information makes me reflect on myself: what the world has changed into, people's perspectives, the path I am on, and the future path to take. It proofs the fact that there are so many choices to make, and sometimes you can only take one. The choice may take you so far that when you look back, you can't even alter your choice. Time is a one way train that takes us to the uncertain future, we shouldn't directly copy someone by the measure of fortune, or fame. The fame and fortune are really just by products of brewing within time and efforts. Only mission and passion shall keep us on the track. Follow our hearts, do good and make an impact! With this blog, I am going to record my experience with encountering this challenging world, find the inner self and practice kindness.
What
There are several topics/label/channel I would like to cover based on my thoughts in daily life experiences:
Market observation (tickers to track, news that will affect the market, industry and/ or an individual company)
Foodie channel with own recipes tried or restaurants visited
Study of certifications (summarize of CFA topics etc)
Coding experience
Art Creation (watercolor and other media)
Travel journal
Music (covers etc.)
Any essay
And of course, things about the chubby cheeks Oscar and Mini Aussie Oliver.
Let's get it started!
