The Omlette I Still Haven’t Made
There are things many Asian children grow up hearing so often that they become part of the background of life. Be grateful to your parents. Especially to your mother. She carried you for nine months. She sacrificed everything for you. And honestly, none of these things are false. Parents do sacrifice a lot, especially mothers.…

The invisible career of motherhood
What is your career plan? I stopped asking myself those questions when I decided to have children. Not because I threw my life away, but because I understood that raising children was already a long-term project. A project that would require almost all of my energy, attention, patience, organization, and emotional availability for many years.…

ON : A Silent Impact
Do you have a quote you live your life by or think of often? Do you have a quote you come back to, without even realizing it? I do. Not just one, actually, many. They’ve been quietly placed along the way, often by people close to me. When I was younger, my father would say,…

ON : Where though ?
Where do you see yourself in 10 years? The question always brings me back to a quiet office, sitting across from a manager, filling out an annual review.

ON : Happiness…
What are 5 everyday things that bring you happiness? Do we really need something to be happy? It sounds like a simple question, but the more I sit with it, the more it makes me pause. Because when I look at my days, they are never perfectly arranged. There are always small interruptions, small delays,…

A change that changed everything
Describe one positive change you have made in your life. If I have to choose one positive change that truly shaped my life, it would be this : I learned to change the way I see people. It sounds simple. But for me, it changed everything. I used to be a little afraid of my…
