I have been very busy in the last two weeks defending my first position in Duolingo and climbing up the final League: Diamond.

My previous post speaks of my history (when I got started) with the little green owl and a brief status update. In this one, as at today, I have accumulated a total of 90,148 XP (short for “Experience Points”).

I joined Duolingo in January 2014. That was six years ago!

I started with learning Italian and then I added a few other foreign languages. Today, I have 10 on my list with a total accumulated XP (short for "Experience Points") of 67,607.

"When someone says something unkind, you may want to retaliate right away. That is where the fight begins."

HOW TO FIGHT is a small but powerful book. It looks like an easy read with only 127 pages, but it is not to be read lightly or speedily. Ponder. Take notes. Reflect. And take action, if needed.

Sambal the Red Typewriter has been with me for almost two weeks now.

10 days to be exact. I started a series of Quotes I’m Pondering working very closely with Sambal.

It looks like the coronavirus is not going anywhere anytime soon, so I've braced myself for impact and for more self-love. In addition to the personal mini library I've built in Singapore (yay, books!), I also thought of other ways to amuse myself.
