Ordinary Candid Duo

This is Lu and Shing, together we created Ordinary Candid Duo. After two weeks of hiatus, we are recharged, refuelled and back to discuss about the art of apologizing, which is still a work-in-progress for both of us. When to apologise? Should I apologise often? Is it okay to say NO? Those are the questions that we often encounter and chat about, as we share our personal experiences dealing with this very topic. Feel free to share your opinion and story with us on instagram @ordinarycandidduo! Stay safe and stay happy! :)
