It is 11.32am on New Year’s Eve. There are only two of us in the office, the two recently-employed who are not entitled to take leave yet. I wouldn’t have taken mine anyway, it’s only half-day today and I plan to be outta here in less than an hour.
I thought it would [...]
According to the results of my little blogpoll, 8 out of 13 people think a guy is only ready to date when he can pay his own way. That is, of course, the “right” answer to give. But let’s face it. How many people you know wait until they’re financially independent before they start [...]
It is my second day at work. Life in Marie Claire has been well, interesting. But good.
Many guys would consider this their dream job. I think I have 3 male colleagues, but I only caught a glimpse of one yesterday and met two others today. This is, after all, a women’s magazine, and [...]
There are definite plusses to being the only girl on a road trip. I get the front seat everywhere we go, a bedroom all to myself, plenty of strong young men to carry my stuff except I brought a smaller bag than all but Yuchun (who takes the cake with only a Crumpler bag [...]

In the words of the legendary Jackie Chan, Who Am I?
…’tis the question that I’ve been asking myself.
Do the people who surround me influence my personality when I’m with them? If I am then consistently surrounded by the same people, will the influenced personality suppress the real one? Is there [...]
I don’t think I did well in my interview today. No particular reason, I just think there were a half dozen things I could have and should have said but didn’t, that’s all. Okay, so that’s like half a dozen reasons. But I remain optimistic. And until my phone rings, nothing is certain.
I finally turned down my second job offer – Cinema Online – two days ago. Trust me, I agonized long and hard over this one. But I decided against it and so I’m going for another interview tomorrow. More details when I find out exactly what the position I’m being considered for [...]
