Just when you think nothing can make you crack a smile, life gives you something silly to smile at. I had an absolutely shitty day! Waded through work load that was neck high, holding on to coffee for dear life. Then I hit the gym only to realise that I am too tired and that… Continue reading Luck or Double the luck?
Staging A Comeback
It's been over a year since I wrote anything. Probably lost the few people who were reading my page. Wouldn't blame them since I did disappear. Getting back to writing has been on my mind lately. Hence, the attempt at reviving the thinking cells. The gears have been oiled and hopes are high that they… Continue reading Staging A Comeback

Mantis Visit
