How will you share this orange with someone? . I first heard this Orange story more than 6 years ago during a class on ‘Compromise’. Somehow, the story sticks with me. When the class was asked to share the only orange fairly, everyone quickly thought of splitting the orange into half. Then the coach asked if we could think of any other ways. Some said to juice it or make it into tarts or cakes. Then he asked, did anyone ask what the two people wanted the orange for? In the story, it was revealed that one wanted the juice and another the citrus peel. Had we merely split it into half, it could have been fair but at most, a compromise. To turn a compromise to a real win-win, we need to first understand the real needs

What if this is why we tend to close our eyes when we take a deep breath, laugh, cry or kiss? To allow us to feel these beautiful things without the trick of the eyes. The age of camera phones has made it easy for us to capture the fireworks and rainbow. But I wonder if it makes us any better at noticing the beauty of things that it can't capture. When was the last time we close our eyes and drown in the rhythm of the wave, pause that chase for the rainbow and soak in the breeze that has been around?

This is why I started this page. While I can't explain how I have come this way, I clearly know why. It has roots in a belief, a hope. I believe that we all belong to the same place, but have only been scattered to different parts of the world. I hope, even in the darkest place, we can find a connection somewhere as we had before. Couldn't have put it better myself than what I read from Nuyen Nguyen, a Vietnamese-American writer for stories on migration, refugees and trauma. "Some of us are born into freedom, never having to affirm this privilege. Others have to plunge into the prospect of death in the hopes of a mere chance to seek a better, safer life for themselves and their families." . As the falling stars carry their hopes to different places, aren't we the same too?

Yes, there hides a big dream, some soft compassion and an enigma of stories. Oh, the rainbows and unicorns too. What does your inside secretly hold?

Decided to try the #drawthisagain challenge! Wonder if you remember this comic from 8 months ago when I just started Jangandfox? People who know me will probably figure why I have a special attachment to this piece Swipe right to compare I do look back and laugh at my previous works sometimes! Truth be told, when I finish an illustration, I would look at it for a good while and wonder where it’s not good enough. But if anything that has changed over the past few months, it’s my acceptance that these pieces may forever be work-in-progress. My illustrations will continue to evolve with practice and more learning. Grateful for your patience in witnessing my small changes over time

Growing up is tough and sometimes beautifully tough. What do the amazing animal parents have to share with their kids about it? (5/10)

Ever wonder why we fall and not rise in love? Swipe for surprise . Being vulnerable is scary. That's why we withdraw, withhold and control in love. But vulnerability is not to be mistaken with weakness. Letting ourselves be seen is where courage, love, trust and empathy starts. Amy Poehler says, "Vulnerable people are powerful people."

“I am listening.” Much harder than it’s said. While we often practise speaking, do we do the same to practise listening? Active listening actually means using all our senses to concentrate, understand and acknowledge what someone is saying. It’s more than just hearing the words through the ears. So when @afspnational first spoke to me about the Mental Health Awareness month and encouraging #realconvo , the first thing that came to my mind was not just how to start a convo, but also how can we use less “Sorry, I wasn’t listening.”

And that's perfectly okay! Lately I wondered about how we are wired to think of 'happy' and 'unhappy' as binary, like the absence of one means the presence of another. But what if they can co-exist? I can be a little unhappy and a little happy at the same time. I can be neither, I can be both. You know, like how it's actually not always rain or shine, it's sometimes cloudy and we don't judge the clouds
