Who am I...?

I'm a web editor from Singapore living in Tokyo. I'm building websites for a living as a writer on the go. I worked in print media for six years until I moved countries and used the Internet as a way to have a viable, mobile career. The Internet is a fascinating space and I never thought I would ever morph into a web chick - but here I am.

This blog is about...

...The ups and downs of expat life, trailing partner issues, food, travel, and Japanese culture. It's a way to keep in touch with friends back home and all over the world, plus it's a corner for me to showcase my work. But really, I'm just a restless spirit looking for great adventures and fabulous food.

A new rhythm

I finish work around 9 or 10pm these days. Exhaustion usually plagues me in the late afternoon and early evenings but once I get my second wind, I’m not ready to flop down on my futon by midnight.

It takes a while to unwind after a day’s work, doesn’t it? Working during other people’s after-hours gives me a strange schedule. Sometimes I have dinner at 530pm or if I’m not hungry, I’ll wait till 930pm. I hope I won’t put on weight because of such late meals but it usually keeps me awake, craving the company of the TV or a book or an MSN chat with a friend till after 1am or even to 2am.

Saturdays will now begin no later than 10am as I’ve to get my ass down to an 1145am class. I finish at 6pm but it’s a perfect arrangement for weekends when I don’t have much on.

Erasing years of 9am starts and midnight shutdowns on weekdays is a little more disorienting than I thought. But cheers to a new style of ebb and flow.
