Hello blog! I miss you! I realise I have not blogged for ages. And all this while, I have an incredulous need to write, to record my life's happenings. Too busy I guess, besides, I have been writing all the while - for job's sake of course. Haha. Just some quick updates, I have undertaken a couple of writing jobs so far. Yep, been working in a magazine company as well as the PR & Comms department of a reputable club.
As you could have envisioned, I spent a lot of my time behind glaring computer screens - one quarter of my working time brainstorming for ideas; two-quarters writing; slacking for the last quarter. Haha. Not that it comes as a surprise of course, for a writer's job. I have been managing online publications as well as social media engagement. It has been really eye-opening attending events, working with clients, and of course to write.
As of current, I think I'm still a very 'zha-ba-lang' writer. What I mean is that I don't usually plan a draft before I start writing it. I always write at the spur of the moment, or just force myself to write something. Very much like blogging. Sometimes, my inspiration flows better without any fast rules to restrict me. So I guess that's the good thing about writing. However, I have always envied the job of a freelance writer. He/She gets to spend his time on his own computer, very often in the comfort of his/her own home, and travel to meet clients. Ahhh, how nice it is to be able to have some flexibility in controlling your own work. Then again, I am going on the "safe route" first as I would hope to enrich my experiences and get to know more people. I am hoping it all helps to build my credibility next time should I thrive on my own.
For now, I am moving into copywriting. And boy, I am VERY excited. It has always been a dream job of mine. I love to exercise creativity in any sense. This will be the start of a full-time career. That's right, no more contract, no more internship, but a real job in every literal sense of the word.
Besides writing, I am also tutoring, and I am in my final semester in school. In short, you could say I'm juggling a lot of things on my side, but I choose to remain a postive outlook in life. =)
Oh, and of course, I am also a part-time boyfriend to my lovely princess. My life wouldn't be complete without her. (:
This blog will be the continuation of my life's happenings. Not only will I be posting on my reflections on life, I will attempt to write reviews - movies, music, food, travel, etc. So watch this space, peeps!
Before I end this entry, let me share with you a quote that has recently become my favourite, and it pretty much sums up what I am pursuing.
“You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don’t make money your goal. Instead pursue the things you love doing and then do them so well that people can’t take their eyes off of you.” — Maya Angelou
