Beset by all the boss’ commands? Is work fraught with haste and hassles? Hum off the hustle and bustle! Could there be worse than crushed spirits? Of…

  • Why B Silent?

    ·

    “All my life, without a douBt I’ll give you, All my life..” If not for the B, he must have been the heartthrob of the singing contest. Yes, he’s tall, handsome, and quite young with a deep voice YET with a loud B before his T.  T, an unvoiced consonant, forces B to lose its voice. Simply, T silenced B. Say…

    ·

    Fairies blew dust to my eyes that I couldn’t resist opening them as early as 6am today. Yeah, Peter Pan slept beside me, so Tinker Bell jealously pulled my hair. Alas, sweet slumber no more! Surprisingly, Neverland wasn’t a dream, I woke up having it within grasp. “I say, how do you do it(flying)?” John asked. “You just…
