We started working

March 21st, 2009 · No Comments · Language, MissY, Taking in; on; and to Shanghai (or China in general), Work life

Probably a useless thought, but I’m wondering if my job position is “Junior Content Specialist Editor”, am I supposed to be a “content specialist” or a “specialist editor”. Do they mean the same thing?
Anyways. So it’s been a week at the office. What’s my take on the job? I got to do some semi-creative writing [...]

Starting work

March 12th, 2009 · 4 Comments · Geek Stuff, Shanghai Roams, Taking in; on; and to Shanghai (or China in general), Work life

I start work come Monday, holding the title and responsibilities of a  “Junior Content Specialist Editor” at a technology firm.
What a mouthful, and possibly ambiguous, but for the first time in my life, I am going to be an EDITOR. A very different concept at an internet company it may be, but well, as long [...]

Yet another postful of randomness

February 22nd, 2009 · 1 Comment · Food, Home, MissY, Singapore, Taking in; on; and to Shanghai (or China in general), Travelogue, Work life

Experiencing an amount of inertia when it comes to blogging. The notes in my phone are piling up from the random things I want to blog about, and I don’t know how else I should put them down other than yet another post about random things. (Not the 25 random things about me ok don’t [...]

Other Randomness and It’s Time to Say Goodbye

February 8th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Home, Ramblings, Taking in; on; and to Shanghai (or China in general), Work life

Writing this at half-past three in the morning is automatically forgiven for sappiness, or fruitless whining.
1) It sucks that I can’t eat on trains and buses in Singapore. When I’m hungry and rushing off for an appointment, I have to choose between time and food, so I usually just go hungry. Which may have been [...]

My Unique Munich Trip

October 19th, 2008 · No Comments · Travelogue, Work life

(It isn’t all that unique, I was just trying to make it rhyme. I’m lame that way.)
The flight there was 12 hours, the flight back 10+hours with a transfer at Frankfurt, and so after being amongst the clouds and above sitting in the aircraft for 20+ hours, I saw the city of Munich for all [...]

Of Names and Nature of Business

September 10th, 2008 · No Comments · Language, Singapore, Work life

During my summer vacation back on the sunny island I worked for a brief period of time at a certain foreign bank. While for most of it I was soaking in monotony, there were instances that made me chuckle, or perhaps I seeked laughable instances so that I can entertain myself.
I was looking at a [...]

Time is slipping by

August 14th, 2007 · No Comments · Ramblings, Singapore, Work life

It’s also running very short. With one week left in Singapore, I don’t know how I should allocate my time left.
I can’t upload my photos at home, and I don’t have the opportunity to bring my laptop around to connect wifi, so it looks like I can only share my happy memories in Singapore with [...]

Squareface the employed

August 7th, 2007 · 3 Comments · Singapore, Work life

Update: I’ve got another job for Wednesday and Friday too! Yay I’m fully occupied for most of my remaining days here.
Update 2: I suspect the exhibition I’ll be involved in next week at the Science Centre is either Gene-Fest (”where visitors get to uncover the Science behind living things that can produce light and learn [...]

Squareface is her own boss

August 6th, 2007 · No Comments · Singapore, Work life

At least for the 2 days at Far East Square Flea Market. I decided to set up a stall at the same location as the previous attempt at entrepreneurship because rental is cheap ($20 for 2 days); and there’s no need to book a spot for the whole month (China Square Flea Market regulations), nor [...]
