I've done quite a few things in my life - bank officer, university tutor, tuition teacher, but the love I always go back to, writing.

I was an advertising copywriter for over ten years. I loved the variety of work I had, working for clients from industries as diverse as engineering companies to retail, banking and education. I even loved the adrenalin rush of chasing deadlines!

That was followed by a rewarding stint as an editor with a publisher of coffee-table books on art, history, gardening.

My interests change from time to time, and tend to be eclectic. Apart from writing, some of faves right now:

* place: the library (Singapore has very good public libraries). I enjoy roaming among the bookshelves.

* book: Sophie's World. I'm inspired by it to look at the world with new eyes.

* music: Clay Aiken for his beautiful vocal talent; Jason Mraz, for his quirky songwriting. And they're both fantastic live performers - I admire that.

* activities that I enjoy, but don't take too seriously: photo-taking (note: not "photography") and craft projects.
