She has been trying to sleep earlier these days since she’s feeling an odd bout of tiredness.

This girl has resolved that she’d do her best to be more tech savvy this year. She’s got herself a new ipod touch, a new lappy (ok, last year’s buy) and the new mac Mobile Me which gives her a virtual desktop anywhere she goes. She’s got online calendars which help her stop double booking [...]

When the company was first incepted in April 2008, it was meant for this girl to have somewhere to bill when she does frivolous work. The Boy figured she’d never be able to sit still anyway so it seemed like a great idea to the both of them. Then came the steady flow of projects [...]

It never fails to baffle this girl to ponder how it is that the year is almost at its end. Didn’t it just start a while ago? Sure seems that way from where she is standing. Christmas came and went amidst the mad rush to sort the office out (for 12 people no less) and [...]
