2018
It’s better to start with the good things then the painful moments. One of the best things that happened in 2018 is that my littlest sister got married and I have only wished her one thing - that she be happy, and I can see that she is.

As I said, I seek God in my extreme moments, either when very happy or very sad. And lately it's been quite a lot of the negatives ( Read more... ) -
Hagar Charity Golf 2015
It was the event that I'd been looking forward to. Though it'd be tiring, it would at least allow me to contribute in a more tangible and direct way. The morning assignments were menial and laborious, consisting of manning the registration counter and goodie bag collection. It was a piece of cake considering the numerous rows (up to 10) that I'd ( Read more... ) -
Farewell to yet another colleague
Today, we bid farewell to yet another fellow co-worker. Though he wasn't the perfect option, but really who is perfect for their jobs anyway. We each have our strengths and weaknesses, talents and experiences, and we bring all of it together in a package to our jobs.
