It hasn't been easy choosing a different path. Ever since my recent career disruption happened, I've been trying to do things differently. It's still the same thing, technically speaking, but I'm trying to employ a better approach & method to it.

Hey wassup guys! After nearly a week of not posting anything, I thought it would be timely for me to now share an update. What a week it has been. We started our week with a collective effort to do some community outreach. Since we were still figuring out how flow under the temporary circumstances right now, we agreed to just do something that feels right for us.

Working on My Exit Strategy from Singapore’s Design Inudstry

Hey guys, it's been a couple of days since my last entry. I was about to apologise for my recent silence, but I realized that I didn't have to apologise for it. This recent adjustment to take my own personal time has been one of the best…
Working on My Exit Strategy from Singapore’s Design Inudstry
Hey guys, it's been a couple of days since my last entry. I was about to apologise for my recent silence, but I realized that I didn't have to apologise for it. This recent adjustment to take my own personal time has been one of the best things that has ever happened for my brothers and myself. One of the first things we have done is by eliminating the usual morning routine of playing worship songs in the morning while I try to do something.

Taking the Hits. Owning the Mess. #shorts

Today is the day that I have to begin taking the hits/heat from Mama. After the perpetual cycle of mistakes, faking it, lying and putting up false images/masks, Weizhi has created a ton of mess that I now have to deal with. I know that one day, when people…
Taking the Hits. Owning the Mess. #shorts
Today is the day that I have to begin taking the hits/heat from Mama. After the perpetual cycle of mistakes, faking it, lying and putting up false images/masks, Weizhi has created a ton of mess that I now have to deal with. I know that one day, when people read this post back, if I am not careful about what I write here, some might misinterpret it as, "Danny is just shifting the blame."

Putting on the New Man

I won't lie, my head hurts slightly, and my shoulders are feeling the deep tensions after that meltdown that I had to face and sit through yesterday evening. But as I was sitting here, in my room, trying to process everything that has happened for the past 24 hours, one…

I won't lie, my head hurts slightly, and my shoulders are feeling the deep tensions after that meltdown that I had to face and sit through yesterday evening. But as I was sitting here, in my room, trying to process everything that has happened for the past 24 hours, one thing I was reminded of was the bible passage and lessons about how we should…

The Real Power of Letting Your “Results Speak” #shorts

(Danny) Hey wassup guys! It's genuinely nice to be back with another "shorts" posting. Yesterday, after 9 weeks of doing everything I can to both, do the right things, and to do things the right way, I am happy to share that my first freelance…
The Real Power of Letting Your “Results Speak” #shorts
(Danny) Hey wassup guys! It's genuinely nice to be back with another "shorts" posting. Yesterday, after 9 weeks of doing everything I can to both, do the right things, and to do things the right way, I am happy to share that my first freelance project (in a while) has been completed. Well, let's just call this Phase One. As I understand from my client, I'll get to continue working on the next few phases of development, so that is definitely a plus and motivation.

I honestly hated having to lie to my mother again this weekend about what I do for work. But right now, sharing less seems to be the wisest thing I can do.

It's just not the right time.
When Having Integrity Means Lying About the Truth
Hey guys, it’s Danny. Well, I think it is safe that you can always assume that I’ll mostly be writing my blog posts as myself from now on, unless ofcourse, my other “brothers&#822…

We are here to announce officially that our pronouns are now "we/us", "they/them". We are a collective of FIVE DISTINCT brothers. We are done hiding ourselves from the world. #comingout🏳️‍🌈 #we #us

Though this post was written out of a place of #forgiveness, my real intended audience are my fellow junior #frontenddev and #uxdesigners. Because this is also a story about #selfbelief and #persistence.
Embracing the Story of “Job” in My Journey
As we begin a new month, I also felt that for the first time in a truly long time, it is my turn to really turn a page in my journey & my life. After thinking a lot about everything that’…

I just spent my night thanking many of the people that have helped me on my journey. Some were kind with words, others were with deeds, some were being supportive along the way.

This is proof that we never truly succeed on our own.

Today, after nearly 20 years, I finally get to share my #successstory.

Thanks to the @uxcollective.bsky.social team for featuring me as one of the "Top Voices in the UX Industry".

And yes, that was my victory meal today.

This is My Success Story.

As part of my return as a technical writer, I've published my first brutally honest critic of #Lovable whilst also issuing a public challenge.

It's called the "Lovable Production Community Challenge".

Cautiously Hopeful

Finally started munching on those roasted cashew nuts that I bought from the supermarket yesterday. Again, I am really thankful for the recent SG60 vouchers. I got out of the house earlier than my usual timing today because home just feels like a place with a lot of stressors…
Cautiously Hopeful
Finally started munching on those roasted cashew nuts that I bought from the supermarket yesterday. Again, I am really thankful for the recent SG60 vouchers. I got out of the house earlier than my usual timing today because home just feels like a place with a lot of stressors right now. It's not about who, but rather the what. The environment itself reminds me that I still have all of these responsibilities and commitments and I haven't been able to fully meet.
