I'll remember this day forever.
It is like a scratch on a sheet of glass.
You can't remove it.
You'll see it all the time whenever you look at the glass.
You could perhaps cover it up but you'd know it's there, right underneath those covers...

2017: Unstoppable
Compete with you I will not but, compete with me you must.
What works for others has worked for them up until now but what will work for them in the future has yet to be determined.
Focus and do you.

Learnings
The past week has taught me an important lesson about entrepreneurship and co-founders/partners. It has opened up my eyes to the fact that two people can see and interpret situations incredibly differently and how that can lead to nasty disagreements.
The takeaway?
Once it's over, it is paramount that both take time to self-reflect on what transpired, sit down and discuss it, effectively communicate, and move forward together as a stronger and better team.
It is no secret that individuals take pride in having an opinion, in having a stance; however, what's more important is ensuring that stance is qualified and defensible; otherwise, one ought not to be afraid to admit that they've been mistaken and to reassess their beliefs and/or arguments.
To keep an open mind and be willing to let your (core) beliefs or worldview be challenge is not easy but it is absolutely necessary. I am grateful to have found a co-founder who believes in this mantra too.

A Tad Sad.
While I've been fortunate that I've not had to move from country to country, to make new friends all over again and to keep finding a new home; I've been fortunate to meet some amazing people who've brought just so much happiness into my life who've had such a life.
It's sad that these people end up flying away and leaving to other countries be it in pursuit of further studies or simply better opportunities that lie beyond the borders of Malaysia.
I do wish all these rays of light the best for their future but I also hope I'll be able to see them all soon again.
To all you wonderful people who are spread across the lands of Sweden, Scotland, United Kingdom, Australia, Denmark, United States, I'll see you all soon.

Reminder: Don't Waste Precious Time
Get up, get dress, and show up on time.
Do this for yourself.
The window is small, seize it or lose is.
Only you can choose what you can achieve.
Push through and keep reaching for it.
Lest, you'd be fine with watching your goals slip away.
NO.

Yesterday was Father's Day
And we had a splendid lunch with the family. It was a small gathering as most of the family were unable to attend but despite the lower turn out, it was just as special and maybe more.
It came as a realization that every year this day comes and goes, as does Mother's Day, Parent's Day and all the other days that seem to have a higher significance than ordinary days.
Truth is, these days are not more special, they're only made to seem so - to play into capitalism, to play into the need to display appreciation more outwardly, more generously and so on.
This shouldn't be the case and it really isn't. What makes those morning dim sum times with dad any less special or those lunches with mom any less special. Every moment accumulates to form the beautiful life that we have been given and blessed with.
The only distinction lies where there's a flood of Facebook posts, pictures of happy families that mask the real daily stories and rough patches that fill the pages of their book.
I've just gained clarity that the real internal reason I've started this new chapter is not to build something solely for users or for me, it's to build the life that I want to give to the two most important people who have sacrificed so damn much for me to that I can be here in the position that I'm in, right here, right now.
It's to give them what I've always wanted to before it's too late.
It has never been more clear - I'm doing all of this for you both to give you what you couldn't award yourself so that I could have invaluable experiences to propel me that much further.
I've found my why.
