Reborned

My fourth public blog. A new beginning. A fresh theme to restart my life without looking backwards. My goal for this blog is simple. To express myself, and to make a side income through writing.

I love technology, and my life revolves around analyzing and working out new web applications on how technology can make the world a better place. I have the opportunity to stay in Silicon Valley for one year with a group of fun-loving and smart friends. While almost everyone I knew who went over to Silicon Valley prefers it over Singapore, I still prefer Singapore.

My grammar and language is not perfect. I do however, enjoy reading my own writing. I set up this blog not only as an outlet for my personal expression, but also to make a side income from the intruding advertisements that you see (soon).

There was a time where I tried to deny my identity as a geek, but I’ve learnt to accept myself for who I am over time.

There was a time where my knowledge of my abilities, competence and accomplishments made me depressed because they were not up to my standards. I’ve gotten over it.

There was a time where I tried to restrict my blogging towards a specific niche, but I’ve since accepted that my strength was never in my ability to focus. I decided that I will blog on whatever issues I like to blog about.

There was a time when I was confused whether to start a startup, or to work in an MNC. I start to realize there’s no difference between them as long as you are passionate over your work.

I used to fret over my inability to program web applications from scratch. I still can’t (at this point), but I’m going to focus on learning how to develop applications with an open mind.

I used to complain about not being able to find a fellow co-founder, or a team that’s willing to work with me. I’ve learnt that the time could be better spent enjoying myself.

I used to think that a startup would never exist if I do it alone, I realized that’s an un-necessary limitation I’ve accepted from conventional thinking. It’s like accepting the fact that humans will never finish the one-mile run in under 4 minutes. I’m going to try building something myself alone.

There was a time where I network with people with a motive, and thought about how they could benefit me in the long-run. I’ve learnt that enjoying the present moment with who and what they are is what eventually matters.
