I read. I listen. I follow instructions. I think I’m fairly cautious but am I safe? I access the internet. Just like the over 5.3 billion internet users. Or the 65% of the world’s population with internet access. The number is expected to reach 6.54 billion by 2025[1]. I own a smartphone. There are approximately 6.84 billion smartphones in the […]
I feel unsettled. More than a week has passed. I think of Gunda, brother number 1, almost all of the time. It’s no exaggeration when I say I wake up thinking about him. Go to bed thinking about him. Remembering that he is no longer with us. This is on top of talking about brother […]
Generally, customer service should be about answering customers’ questions on products and services. Providing advice and guidance. Finding solutions and/or resolving complaints to problems. In a quick, easy and empathetic manner via face-to-face interactions at brick-and-mortar stores and/or online through emails, WhatsApp, live chats, and telephones. My recent encounters with two companies made me question […]
I’m an average online buyer. I only buy when I want a particular something that is reasonably priced or cheaper online. Promotions don’t entice me. Not because I’m averse to a good deal.

I like to stay current with current news. For me, reading, listening and watching the latest happenings inside and outside the country, is par for the course.

Each time I have had to wait in the waiting room/area with my mum, my husband and on my own to see a medical specialist or general practitioner, the one pressing, perplexing thought/question is – there must be a better way or system to treat patients. People in need of medical attention – urgent or […]
When I make an appointment, I am early or on time. Never late. I fret if I am going to be late. To avoid giving myself stress, I leave early even though I know I might be the first to arrive. Better early than late, I say. I don’t want the other person/s whom I […]
These days, I’m busy the first Monday of each month. I need to clean two altars, mine and my mum’s, give her a hair wash and bath, cook an oatmeal lunch, and get my blog ready for publication. In addition to other domestic stuff. Once done, I feel like I’ve had a productive or full […]
