Let's talk about appearance

Recently I watched this vlog of Jane, one of the topics was about flat-chested. She is a married woman and got commented by a person saying her chest is so flat that her husband will divorce her. I could not believe that an anonymous person following a famous influencer would comment such words cursing another's marriage to be unsuccessful by body-shaming Jane. As a humble follower of hers, I only see the content she made, some of her daily effort and the lifestyle she had on her social media. I know that it is not easy to be an influencer, especially when you reach a certain well-known level by the public and need to deal with "haters". Just that not until she exposed this kind of incident she faced, I wouldn't believe some people's comments would go until this extent of cursing influencer. That comment might be a joke to the person who commented, but they wouldn't know how much these comments can impact the person receiving it. That's why I think that be...

Deep talk and meaningful conversation

  Does anyone of you like a meaningful conversation? Or discuss, think and share your opinions about certain topics in-depth? Well, I'm someone into these. Not sure why, but I notice my brain likes it very much. It gets excited when I think deeply and generates more ideas and thoughts. It is a sign that my soul is thirsty for new knowledge. Before that, do you guys know there are different levels of understanding?  The first level of understanding is understanding the basic text written in a book. In another word, literal comprehension. That's what we learnt during childhood times. The second level of understanding is understanding the meaning of the text where the book wants to deliver, while the third level of understanding is the application of knowledge from what you've understood into actions or change/spark our thinking.  Meaningful conversation or deep talk/discussion is somewhere between level two, entering level three of understanding (my own definition XP correc...

Getting back in writing

The thoughts of getting back in writing arose whenever my brain kept thinking about several things, and the ideas just flew through. Instead of letting these thoughts float around like bubbles in my mind, it pops and disappears after some time. It is better that I document them down somewhere since these crazy thoughts are priceless. So yeah, back to this page again after I stopped for more than a year. The last post was in early 2020, and now it's March 2022. If you guys browse through my older posts before 2020, I believe they were mostly written in Mandarin as I was more comfortable expressing myself in my mother tongue. I am writing in English now because I will need to use a proofread system to detect the mistakes I tend to make in writing and typo issues. I didn't dig into the Chinese read proof application since I am not familiar with it. Additionally, I write more of my papers and thesis in university in English. I am uncertain who will read through my blog posts here. ...

Cooking - Self surviving skill

 I have loved cooking since young. I remember my mum cooked our meals until I was 18 years old before leaving for university. I enjoyed eating her food until a point where I was craving more for some western food, e.g. spaghetti, burgers, shepherds' pie, pastries... And she is not into those kinds of food. Yeah, typical Asian parents, I would say, or maybe she has no interest in cooking western food, or maybe she is just lazy to learn. :P  I was the "good" child that would always help around with all of the chores in the house cause I thought: Hey, you're living comfortably in this house, and you are not contributing anything? There's nothing on earth that you can get for free. Even if there is, I would definitely feel guilty of taking and receiving it. Plus, my brothers are not the helpful kinda people in the house, so, needless for me to say much, I need to help out in the house.  It started with helping wash and cut veggies in the kitchen, cleaning chicken and ...
