Learned how to make pour-over coffee today ☕
1. Use a 1:15 coffee-to-water ratio.
2. Heat the water to 90°C.
3. Pour in three equal batches.
4. Move your wrist in gentle circles as you pour.

My family and I made lanterns to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival 🌝🏮
Later that night, when I went to a park with all that lanterns, a mom wanted to buy one from me for her boy.
So I technically launched my lantern business.
Ended up giving mine to the boy for free though.

Video editing tip: Start with the audio.
I discovered that by deciding the voiceover or narration first, the edit can get much easier: pacing, cuts, B-roll, captions, and transitions all have something to follow.

I thought I was paying once for an online IQ test result.
Instead, I discovered I was being charged $29.99 every 28 days for the past 5 months.

Just sold my first 3D printer—an Elegoo Neptune 3 Pro that’s been with me for the past 3 years. Probably the most obedient buddy I’ve ever had, working 24/7 to feed me dopamine from watching G-code come to life.
My plan is to upgrade to a multicolor printer. Any model recommendations?

My paintings have more potential if they become collages.
I guess they already are…

Just lost $30 due to a skunk.
Tired to catch the last bus of the day, but then a skunk suddenly shew up in my way with its tail so erected like a cock.
Took a detour but missed the bus...

Personal Branding is not just a polished online persona or a follower count.
It is the system that connects expertise, personality, content, audience relationships, and useful offers.
A point of view people can recognize and trust.

The city is filled with noise: the demand to move faster, earn more, become more, and keep chasing what appears just ahead of us. Heard long enough, some grow numb to it.
Desire is not erased; it is buried.

People, what are some food you ordered that looks good but tastes like shit?
For me, it is this watermelon salad topped with arugula and goat cheese.
Tastes bitter and sweet the same time.
