I didn't want to start another blog but a quick dig-around in www.archive.org made me realise that my old articles and features were still in cyberspace.
I used to be the editor for a women's web portal back in 2001. I quit that job (although I enjoyed it terribly) in March 2004 because it was time for me to join Nic in his business - Redbox Studio. Plus I wasn't just an editor at i-asianwomen.com - I was also the corporate communications manager for the mother company. At that time, I was also studying for my Masters degree on a part-time basis so everything took bits of me!
When I was an editor at i-asianwomen.com, I didn't just edit writing or stories or contributions by our pool of contributors (whom we paid rather well too). I was also tasked to contribute my own writing, be it articles, interviews or stories. Since I have a background in journalism, I often went out of the office, hunting for quality stories (but centered on women and women's issues, of course).
Once I left i-asianwomen.com, the company deteriorated to a point where the website disappeared. I was rather sad as I had put in a lot of effort (there were 3 of us permanent staff) and my writings disappeared too.
But I have since found them and will be putting them up in this blog - not only to remind myself of those days where I used to write (a lot) but also as a tribute to the wonderful women I met along the way.
Enjoy my work!
