Random Stuffs #6
July 1st, 2009
Did you spot me in The Star on Monday?
I am pretty sure most of you did but if you didn’t, here’s the online version of the same story. Read here…

Thanks Sharmila for the write up! :D
==============================================================================
There will be a featured article on blogging that I wrote for R.age and it should be is published today (Wednesday, July 1). My interviewees were David Cheong, Nigel Tee, Cherlin Tan aka Tzia and Jamie Chin.


It was my first time writing a full fledged article (a main story with two side stories) and the pressure (that I gave myself) was huge. I had to get it done in a week and that week (last week) itself was a hectic one for me as I took up three jobs as the official photographer at two separate events (followed by loads of editing) and my Transformers marathon that began on Tuesday.

I never written any featured story before and one who has written loads of metro news, it was rather difficult as the style is very different. I was lost and that was when I turned to my previous boss/mentor Yuk Peng for help. After a 15-minute teach and guide session through the phone, I was typing away my story and it was pretty much smooth sailing after that. Thanks Yuk Peng! :D She read my first draft alright and more teaching followed after that, but overall, I received good comments from my teacher.

Many thanks to Sam Tham for helping me with the cover picture too. As of 2.34am, I am not sure whether will my picture be used as the cover picture for today’s StarTwo. I’m crossing my fingers. Yes, my picture is on the front page of StarTwo. Heh!
Do you notice what’s wrong with the picture? No? It’s a Macbook with a Windows screen shot! LOL.

Most importantly, thanks to Niki Cheong and Ivy Soon for the chance given, I truly appreciate it. Niki went rather easy on the story, with rather little (so much lesser than I expected) editing except a few restructuring here and there, rephrasing and of course, editing.

Do let me know what you think and comments and critics are welcomed.
==============================================================================
I also attended May Gin’s wedding about two weeks back. While I have attended some other friends’ wedding before, this was the first wedding that I felt really touched and happy (especially for the bride). I wasn’t emotional, but there’s something that just tingled me from within.
Congratulations, Vince and May Gin.


Will I still get my pandan flavoured muffins? *puppy eyes*
==============================================================================
Thanks to Chee Ching, I am (finally) going to make my name card. She got it right at her first try while others failed even after submitting their designs to me a few times. I need to get it print as soon as possible as I have wasted loads of opportunities where I could have handed out my name card and gotten more jobs and exposure.
==============================================================================
Lastly, I am taking a short break as there are a few pending matters that I need to settle. There are way too many pictures to be processed, computer to format and repair, camera to be sent to service center, notes to read, tutorials to do and also work to catch up with. See you guys sometime next week, or maybe the following week after that.
Follow me on Twitter instead, @jasonmumbles.
