When I was doing my Trinity Foundation Studies in Melbourne, I wanted to become an advertising copywriter. I remember one day being asked to come up with a simple advertising concept for an MP3 player, and how much I loved the assignment. That evening, as I was walking home, I thought for the first time, [...]
Covering the ATP Malaysian Open 2010 is definitely going down as one of the highlights of my year. It’s been a pretty eventful year so far, but that’s how excited I was about interviewing Robin Soderling, Tomas Berdych, Nikolay Davydenko and Mikhail Youzhny.
Nevermind that I had to get up at 7.30am because that’s [...]
After all the celebrities I’ve met and interviewed, can you believe this is the first autograph I’ve ever gotten? I’m usually more of a get-a-photo-with-the-celeb kind of person, but I was so psyched to be back in action after my maternity leave and everything that I couldn’t turn down the opportunity.
Besides, Orianthi [...]
“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 [...]
