Full time

Just as I was wondering which direction my life is heading, a full-time job landed on my lap. Now, I am a research fellow with the Asian Center For Media Studies. I have just finished organising and seeing a conference through. Will let you all know all about it once I have it up on the website. Other areas of my life have been on halt due to that, and due to a flu, which incapacitated me most of the time that I am not busy running through the finer details of the conference. I haven't really written anything for so long that I think I had lost the ability to write fluidly. A friend and I am trying to start a focus group that could empower ourselves to work within women's issues. Seeing that such groups exist already within the Klang Valley, I am thinking of a linkup. But, I need time to sit back and plan out the agenda. Now that I am quite recovered and the conference is behind me, I am trying to catch up with as much things that have been lagging behind as I could. I will try updating this site more often. Am now mastering the interface that Jonathan Poh has given me. Will post more soon.

Have a day

Busy Bee...or sluggish snail ?

Hey all,
I guess you do wonder where and what have I been up to, haven't you? Well been busy with my semi-professional, academic and private life. Or busy trying to escape doing work :P OK, just kidding on that. Been doing a bit of soul searching, trying to figure what should I do with my life and which direction I should take. Frankly speaking, I am torn between many things. However, things are slowly working out. In the meanwhile, I have been writing,writing and writing. Besides that, I have also been reading, reading and reading. Supposed to be working on a sundry of personal and professional projects. Things are going well, albeit slowly. That can be very frustrating, definitely. Have to plan out the proposal for my soon to begin MA dissertation (arrgh....). Ok, that wasn't so bad. I already have a few topics in mind that I just need to zero in and do some literature review on. Oh, did I mention that I had put myself out in the job market? That had been a really frustrating endeavour, with interviews after interviews. Will let you guys know how I fare later on. Never thought that an "early career change" could be so hard. Most employers don't understand the esoteric stuff that you've learnt from the cloistered ivory towers. Good finances is a must if you want to get into anything. Learnt that the hard way. Anyway, will write more in a not too distant date, when the re-building of this site has been completed. I have to thank Jonathan Poh for his dedication in making sure that everything is just right. (: Cool to have friends like this.
