This mug was a gift to me and I’ve been using this one in the office for quite some time. This morning, while I was drinking coffee, a colleague stopped by my desk…

The staff lounge at the office has four tables only, but there are more than 200 employees. A large number prefers to eat at the nearest hawker’s (food court). My friends and I prefer to eat at the staff lounge because it is cooler in there. So, when the clock hands strike […]

I’m having shortness of breath and pain in the chest right now. But all these are not because of Mesothelioma.
