Alice in Wonderland

Hi everyone!

I am finally leaving EPH in one-month time! I will be leaving publishing line at the same time I’m so excited! It feels like ‘being released from prison’ (hehe!) … Well, I’m sure you can figure out why I said that if you are intelligent enough

Well, I’ll be helping a friend (and his business partner) with setting up an education centre (in Singapore of coz!)… Since currently the education centre does not exists yet, I will also be helping out with some work for their existing business … There will be a lot of new things that I can learn from here, mainly from planning to managing … I’m very grateful of this friend of mine for the trust and belief that he has for me … That’s why I am able to confide myself to take up this challenge and make the biggest decision in my life to quit from publishing line … I have been in publishing line for over 5 years now but I realised that I haven’t been achieving anything really big so far (except the ‘Senior Production Editor’ post in WKESP Cyberjaya, Malaysia) … And it was quite a disappointment in EPH Singapore … so I decided to move on … I believe this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance and I believe I can make the best from this, at least to make my life more meaningful … Of coz if this education business really goes well, I may also get a chance to realise my dream to be a manager in future (I mean for the education centre) … No harm dreaming about it now; still it may come true if there is will to make it a reality - I will definitely do my best! At least I will not disappoint my friend…

Though EPH Singapore may not be the best place i have ever worked, I won’t forget the good things I have got from there … First, a good bunch colleagues as good friends … particularly Carina Chuah (without you, I would have ‘die’ now … you are not only a good teammate but also one of the best persons I’ve known in Singapore) … Also Lecco, Lilian and Adrian Lee who are always be there for me; laughing with me during the most stressful time … I really appreciate what you guys did for me (true from the heart) … of coz to the rest who have made a difference in my life - I won’t forget you as long as I live

I will joining my new work on 1 September 2008 … For those of you who would like to celebrate for me (as in celebrating my departure from EPH), kindly do so … Email or sms me for an appointment … I’ll be waiting then
