The Decode Diary

The Decode Diary isn"t just a podcast; it"s your passport to the untold stories of the average-looking but extraordinary Joes who try their best to make it in life. I first stumbled upon the idea of providing insights and perception of the general public when I had so much to talk about but also had so much to learn from those around me. The Decode Diary is a journey and process to decode and decrypt the everyday actions of these people with whom we can relate so much. If you are interested in

Snippet: His New Coping Mechanism After Moving To...

The Decode Diary ·

2024/04/30

When one moves abroad, there is a whole new set of skills waiting to be discovered and adopted. Aaryan was already familiar with this since he was already trying to gain acceptance from his family by becoming a calmer and more composed person. However, moving to Malaysia meant a different approach to being accepted because he needed friends. Adapting once again, his new way of coping may be something completely opposite of what he has been his entire life. The way I see it, he has come a long way,

2024/04/29

I guess every middle child has this thing with their parents where they think they are not appreciated enough and they try to do whatever it takes to be accepted. In this snippet, Aaryan showed me how this was the case for him for many years until he realized one day that the treatment wasn't any different and he then seeks his own acceptance instead. From being a short-tempered child, he turned into a calmer person, thinking this would help the others like him better. I would say if the

Meeting Aaryan because of a serendipitous encounter at one university alumni event, he came off as a confident kid who seemed on the outside to know what he was doing. He was the emcee at the event and speaking to him on stage was like speaking to the head of the student council. Indeed, but not quite, he is the Vice President of the student council! Interestingly, in this conversation, I found out he does not always know the answer to everything and like everyone says, no one actually does. But

I think the government plays a huge role in the policing of cryptocurrencies. Or not. Either way, the role is there to take. And what happens if governments roll out their very own Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs)? Darren warns that it may be harmful to users like us, but is there a bigger danger lurking? Darren shares with me what he thinks the role of governments is in the world of cryptocurrencies. Moreover, taxes and all cannot be ignored. Let me know what you think! Listen to the full

Snippet: But Cryptocurrency Still Relies On...

The Decode Diary ·

2024/04/23

It is funny to me how Bitcoin specifically is tied to our traditional currencies. Because it is not used in our daily transactions, its value needs to be converted to some form of currency that we use every day. This means it still relies, in a way, on the fluctuations of the traditional currencies. Maybe I got it all wrong. In this episode, Darren shares with me how it is true to an extent and it is also a reason why cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin went down in value in 2023. What do you

Snippet: Volatility Is Bitcoin's Biggest Strength

The Decode Diary ·

2024/04/22

According to Darren, even though Bitcoin, together with other cryptocurrencies, is highly volatile due to its nature, plus its pegging to the traditional currencies, this essentially is the biggest upside of cryptocurrencies. Having said that, I always wonder if Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are subject to the same level of volatility as our traditional currencies. It could very well be the same, but then again the finite amount of such coins would mean their values are always on the upward

All this while knowing Darren, it’s always about investment and cryptocurrencies that our conversations surround. No doubt it is an enticing form of investment, given the huge bull run Bitcoin has had in 2024 and I probably have missed the bandwagon. Fortunately, knowing Darren means I get to talk to him and learn how best to invest in cryptocurrencies. But first, I need to know what the talk is all about.

Snippet: How He Would Change The Education System

2024/04/17

Of everything we have discussed, I cannot skip this question. For a man like Dr. Khan who has his own opinion after talking to students for years, he must have his own idea of how the education system should look like tomorrow.In this snippet, he shares with me the way he would change it in general. Students, however, may not agree. Listen to the full conversation here:

I'm pretty sure we've all done that as students - complaining about the lecturers' teaching method because we are not achieving great results. Sure, we have all the rights to do that. But in this snippet, what I hope to be clear is the explanation that Dr. Khan shares with me here. Some may agree, some may not, that there is a distribution curve for the quality of students in a classroom and the lecturers can only focus on so many students before the rest feel unattended to.

2024/04/15

In this snippet, Dr. Khan shares with me how he disagrees with people who say his quality of teaching has degraded due to the sheer number of research papers he publishes in a year. In his own words, doing research work is harder nowadays than what students think and to keep up is the only way for a lecturer to fulfill their duties. I sometimes wonder whether we are putting too much pressure and expectations on the lecturers. Maybe we should because they are getting paid to do this, but I think

Speaking to a lecturer on issues which you wouldn’t have discussed back in the university days would surely be eye-opening, and this is what this episode has been to me. The number of realizations that go through my mind when speaking with Dr. Khan made me start to wonder whether the discrepancy between the expectations of a lecturer and those of students could one day be eradicated entirely. This conversation I believe is the start to that.Dr. Khan has taught me several subjects back in my

If you missed the previous snippet, Nava essentially won the Shell Eco Marathon by cleverly interpreting the constraints set by the organizers. What astonished me was the sheer ingenuity and out-of-the-box thinking displayed here, something that many engineers, myself included, might not have achieved in the same manner. I hope this snippet serves as inspiration for engineers everywhere, not to replicate the exact approach, but to embrace lateral thinking when tackling challenges. Listen to the

Snippet： Learning Engineering Requirements From RoboCon

The Decode Diary ·

2024/04/09

One of the most underrated skills an engineer can have is the ability to understand engineering requirements. While it may seem simple on paper, in practice, each requirement is often intertwined with a list of others, which can lead to complications. Consequently, some companies have dedicated roles for engineers to manage these requirements. Nava acquired this skillset at RoboCon, and I believe that any engineer who has participated in similar competitions could also learn it. Comprehending the

I've always believed that exceptional skills in a particular area are often the result of one's upbringing and childhood experiences. This was evident with Nava; his passion for robots made it clear that his journey into engineering was sparked by genuine enthusiasm. In this snippet, I seek to uncover the origins of his fascination with robots that gradually shaped him into the engineer he is now. Listen to the full episode here:

I didn't know a lot about Nava when I first met him, though he was called by everyone else a Product Architect at our company. The title sounds fancy and the way we create products are almost identical, but he gets the cooler products to play with. Now I know why. In this episode, I sat down with Nava, a product engineer, a title I would give him because of the knowledge he has about a certain technical product, and we talked about robotics. In fact, you know he’s one of the street smarts who

I play badminton and for myself, because I use my right arm and shoulder so much, I start to wonder if it is causing any harm playing badminton. Will it eventually cause a spinal misalignment? The fact that my right arm muscles are heavier and because I usually focus on training my right arm more, this question is actually legitimate. In this snippet, Valerie shares with me the common root causes of spinal misalignment. In her own words, as we are using our spine every second of our lives, there is

Like any other treatments, there are a ton of different methodologies to go with and let's not even get into the world of traditional and modern medicine. For chiropractic treatments, there is one popular methodology in town and it is called the Gonstead approach. After hearing Valerie explain what it is and the actual benefits of the Gonstead approach, I don't think there is any other methodologies more "superior" than this. I stand to be corrected, for sure.

Snippet: Her Story Of Becoming A Chiropractor

2024/04/01

When we think of chiropractors, I don't know about you but I would start to wonder how and why they would get to this career decision. It's unlike many other professions where people try to become someone because of the perks, or the fame or the satisfaction that the job brings. Being a chiropractor isn't even a popular profession in Southeast Asia, to say the least. But in this snippet, Valerie shares with me how she got to being a chiropractor not because of the perks or fame, but because of the

I think many people have this misconception around chiropractic treatment that it is not evidence-based and it may be dangerous. I am guilty of this too. Whenever I see someone on the pelvic bench getting their spines cracked, I just want to breathe a sigh of relief because I’m not on that bench. Also, ever heard your parents nudging you not to crack your neck and all? Or people saying once you start seeing a chiropractor, you’d have to see them for your lifetime? The more important question is:
