It was really... Sign in to see full entry.

Learning to Live with A Bad Memory.. (part 2)

That morning, 9 September 2004, I arrived at work still feeling a bit drowsy from the flu tablets, but everything else was nice and good.

Up & Running with A New Schedule..

After the new year.. many things certainly changed.. My family driver, who had been with us for 17 years, finally resigned to start his own motorbike repair shop (the very thing that he had been doing for the last 17 years as his hobby and night-time job).
