It's off to Bangkok!

I'm leaving for Bangkok on 24th of February, Saturday, which is tomorrow!

Everyone keeps telling me that there are repeated bombings and all and I'm actually reconsidering a bit .....but i mean i will go in the end, the money being paid and everything...I mean, even if i die, at least I die shopping right? hehehe.

Thank you for all who made this trip possible [you know who you are =)]... and i hope that I will be able to get many many things on my limited budget!

Well...recently everyone has been bugging for me to get a job. I really don't envision myself going into the IT line although its what I'm currently studying; I've always wanted to write you know? And I actually seriously considered trying for SQ as the money is good of cos, not to mention I think I would love it, the travelling and exposure......but i just dread the interviews...next intake is on March 4th, still wondering if I should go for it.....

Because after my years of bugging Darran, he finally got a lobang for me!! Its an entry level position in the magazine that he was previously working at; its like a dream come true! I've tried so long to get a chance of getting into the line and fufilling my dream of writing for a living...and finally I got an opportunity! I have already sent in my CV and am sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for a reply from the guy. I think if he hasn't contacted me by the time I get back from Bangkok, I will give him a call to try and impress him with my charm [or lack of] and a lot of pleading. Do you think going on my knees and holding on to his leg while crying and speaking in a pathetic voice too much?


Well, shall keep you guys updated after Bangkok!

Hey,

My advice to you is to pursue your dream. If writing is what you like and will bring you the job satisfaction, then "just do it". You have to start somewhere anyway so entry level is still alright. I won't be surprised if you'll do well in this line.
So........ go for it.
