I actually stumbled across this article/write-up/information (whatever you want to call it) in yahoo.com while aimlessly surfing the net 1 day and it happened to be on the day when I got back home from a long, exhausted day at work...... I thought to myself, " Oh god I really need to check that out man......"
But I feel some of the tips are not really that helpful/applicable...... I really hope those peeps who are equally stressed can gain some "enlightenment" from these tips...... Incredibly long post ahead therefore it took me forever to get it done. And in between editing/composing it, I stopped for a few days coz it's just too long and I ever thought of giving up for something simpler. Sorry for the lack of post recently due to this "big" project...... Ok I shall cut the crap......
