Finally a new entry. It’s been a long time coming.
I’ve kept a pretty low online profile lately, largely due to work. After facing the computer for most of the day, the last thing I want really, is to come home and do the same.
So I’ve been busy with work. Editorial work can get a little mundane sometimes, but it’s really exciting to be driven by deadlines, and for the most part, to see the transformation of what comes in from our writers as mere words on a word document into a book, complete with colours and pictures. What makes everything better is that I’m dealing with lifestyle content, travel and living, food, hotels, restaurants, bars, clubs and everything a tourist needs to know about. So the content makes the editorial process a whole lot more interesting.
Some of the places I’ve worked on so far include Singapore, KL, Tokyo, Shanghai, Beijing, Thailand, Cambodia, and soon to come, more Singapore, Bangkok and Vietnam. The titles that I play a small role in, well, I don’t feel so much towards them, but the books that I’ve worked really hard on, such as Smart Guide Tokyo and Step-by-Step KL, and of course, my City Guide Singapore, I really want them to turn out well and I long for the day they are finally published.
2007 and 2008 are turning out to be really life-changing years, I must say.
