“I did not sew, bake, or clean house to anyone’s delight – and still do not. But I can write. That is my work, where I feel special. Where my identity has a voice.
I never made a living as a freelance writer. Writers seldom do. It wasn’t my income that kept me working … [...]
After much thought, I have decided not to return to full-time work, at least for now. It’s a move I’ve admittedly contemplated from time to time – and always rejected because going freelance really isn’t as wonderful as everyone seems to think it is. But at this point in my life, given that firstly, I’m [...]
Wow, that charcoal mask really makes my nose look massive, doesn’t it? This is me at an Origins event yesterday, where I did the whole nine yards of skincare – cleanser, scrub, mask, toner, serums, eye cream, moisturiser and sunblock – in the name of work. You should have seen me trying to be [...]
When it comes to Asian singers, there aren’t a whole lot that I really like and admire. But Jay Chou is one of them. I think he is a brilliant songwriter and he was open, chatty, funny and a little quirky throughout my (group) interview with him so it was great. Lin Chi Ling [...]
As someone who gets to interview celebrities – thanks to my job – I’ve had the privilege of chatting with some of the most talented and interesting people I’ll ever meet. As someone who also reads, speaks and writes Mandarin – thanks to my dad who insisted upon my Chinese education – I couldn’t help [...]
One of my highlights of the past month – attending the Black Eyed Peas press conference when they were in town. I know these photos are a little late but the Peas were huge then, they’re huge today and I’m pretty sure they’re still going to be huge tomorrow.
The one thing I will [...]
I was on The Breakfast Show one morning last week. It was a blink and you’ll miss it appearance and – in my opinion – totally didn’t justify rising at 7.15am and waiting around for a good hour and a half for ten minutes in front of the camera. (This is probably one of [...]
2AM. They don’t speak English too well but they sure can sing.
Estranged. This is the actual view from where my seat was. So I found a better corner and maximised my camera’s zoom function.
Raygun. Their single ‘Just Because’ is really growing on us in the office.
Pixie Lott. She’s [...]
There are several reasons why I love doing what I do. Meeting talented, interesting and nice people (good-looking is just a bonus) and getting to hear their stories probably ranks on top. I’ve never been very good at telling my stories; I always feel the dramatic ones are overly melodramatic and almost everything else is [...]
The last time I was at KLCC was… I don’t remember when, and suddenly I’ve been there twice in two days. For work. Although I also had fun.
The first was the Nike Manchester United press conference on Friday. I’m no football fanatic – my allegiances usually lie with the better-looking team although I also [...]
