I learned interesting knowledge from one of the speech: Your environment is the one who built you up The speaker said that the...
So I received the result of my IELTS test. I was also surprised that I achieved quite high. I got Band 8 overall with 8 in Speaking, 8.5 in Reading, 7.0 in Writing, and 7.5 in Speaking.

So I developed this blog as a motivation to myself to keep on writing, in parallel with continuing my personal project. I will present some of my ideas, my implementation, geeky things, and so on here. What are my personal projects exactly? The ultimate...
Back to blog, after few months lazy to update it, I often post my thoughts to Twitter instead 🙂 People may don’t understand why I often post melancholic things in my blog or Twitter. Well, as most of my friends know that I never really care about how people think about me, I tried to live my own life to the happiest moment I could achieve, and make everyone I...
