Those who have worked long enough will understand what I mean by the title. Constant gossiping, spreading of rumours and backstabbing, some people just make office life a battlefield. As if stress from the work itself isn’t bad enough. That’s why I don’t actively take part in office gossip and I don’t spread news when...

Make-up tips learnt from a pro
As part of a media training that I just completed, the last lesson was on make up and how it is important to look natural but yet neat in front of the camera. As the class is small, each of us had to go under the mini ‘make-over’ by the professional make up artist, who...

Politicking

Amusing encounters in the office

Bored At Work
I’m allergic to work. It has just been 3rd week into my job and I’m feeling tired and bored. I don’t have that “I have to drag my ass out of bed” syndrome yet but I’m having the “Arghs, I’ve got to wake up now” syndrome. I hate my alarm clock. It shocks me awake....
