So, after like almost 6 months of umm, sabbatical from work, i went back to the rat race. Life as i knew it had changed - when all i was ever concerned about was getting my daily cuppa; now, i have to contend with the daily grind.

Hiring manager got foresight lah. ;)

At the ungodly hours of 2am and 4am in the morning, my mouth and heart are usually in sync actually. Hahaha!
