Alice in Wonderland

Finally I got my complementary copy of the latest issue of Healthy Times mag! Yeah, issue 39 … the one with lotsa Alice Kong’s articles in it! It was actually out early July but somehow I only manage to get my copy only now.

In case you are wondering - what mag is that? I guess you dunno mainly coz you dun read health mag - am I right? Well, it was a Singapore made health magazine and it’s available in 7-Eleven (as well as some mag stores). Why I was in there huh? In case you still didn’t know about the story, I was working freelance with them (editing and writing artices for them) for less than 2 months before I found this full-time job in Just Education now. That was how I got the chance to write for them and have my articles published. Though is was only for short term, it was a great experience for me. To the least, it made me realised that editing a magazine is not as easy task as it requires more than just creativity (a mag editor also has to be a wordsmith too!). Anyway, working for Healthy Times mag will always a wonderful memory for me
The cover of issue 39 of the mag featured the photo of a couple who are doctors (with some photos of doctors at the side - not the photo of me unfortunately … hehe). I wrote a few pages for the blood donation campaign where most of the info was obtained from the Singapore Bloodbank at Health and Science Authority as well as the Singapore Red Cross. I also had one on vasectomy (guys, you may wanna check this out) … Also one on food hygiene (how to prevent yourself from food poisoning) … For those of you who are parents, I have a good parenting tips for you with focus on how mental arithmetic helps your child to boost their potential using the left and right brains. Also, I had the opportunity to interview the boss of Chew’s Egg where we talked about the nutritional values of Mr Chew’s eggs. Actually I have wriiten one on H1N1 but it got replaced with a new one (understandable as the one that I wrote was kinda outdated already since the updates and news on H1N1 have been changing rapidly for the past few months). Anyway, I’m contented to what I have contributed
If you are interested to grab a copy, wait no more, go and grab it now! Of course there are some other interesting articles written by doctors and other authors in that same issue. Only cost S$3.20 per issue - not bad - at least still cheaper than having a meal at Mcdonalds (haha!). Then, if you are thinking of subscribing to the mag on a 1-year or 2-year basis, you can just let me know coz my recommendation usually comes with a special discount, just for you (no kidding o!)
