THE GAP AND THE GAIN
Today is the day! I’ve been waiting in anticipation for the release of THE GAP AND THE GAIN by Dr. Benjamin Hardy and his co-author Dan Sullivan. And I’ve been waiting for this moment to publish my post.

Weekend Kanelbullar Ritual (WKR)
I started a weekend ritual that involves cinnamon buns (kanelbullar in Swedish). It’s called the Weekend Kanelbullar Ritual (WKR).
I love, love, LOVE cinnamon buns!
Month 1 in Sweden: My shipment has arrived!
After carefully curating and donating hundreds of my books to the National Library in Singapore, I was left with 18 boxes that eventually left on a cargo ship to sail across the ocean to Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

I have a few ideas swimming in my head. And this has to do with a major life event I’m about to embark on in August this year.
Be Present
Rolf Dobelli said: Our brains cope automatically with all three layers of time—past, present and future. The issue is which one we concentrate on.

9th Duoversary
Did you know? Duolingo was launched to the public on June 19th, 2012.
I joined Duolingo in January 2014. Through the years I saw the many wonderful changes the little green owl had gone through, and it’s only getting better and better!
