Been a while but I'm back

I’m supposed to be working on a presentation deck now (yes, sheesh, I’m referring to work) and today is Sunday. But well, here I am. Doesn’t help that this work was on my mind all through Saturday. Shit… I’ve been extremely busy at work lately. And I think I might just need a break or quit entirely from this current job scope. See, I work in Digital Advertising. Which also means, mostly websites but it also means that there’s a…

Ideal House versus Vegas Interior Design

And that also means I need to pay a deposit and confirm the interior design company that I am going with. Within a week of attending my 1st HDB appointment, CL from Vegas Interior gave me a follow up call. She is from one of the 2 ID companies…

Before I went to meet him for the second time, I was a bit worried because although…
