I’m Going to Europe!

Quick note: I’ve been quoted in CNN, Business Insider and CBS Business Network in the past month for my articles! Check them out: How To Stand Up to Rude Co-Worker (CNN) | How To Handle Rejection like a Pro (Business Insider) | Being Rejection Proof (CBS Business Network) | Learning to Say No (Business Insider).
I’ve also recently contributed to an article for the August issue of Simply Her magazine (if I’m not wrong), so check it out when it hits the stores next month. The article is on maintaining one’s sanity in the workplace.
Ok, I’ve been keeping this under wraps for a while as I wanted to wait till everything is confirmed before I announce anything.
As of this coming Sunday (19 Jun), I’ll be traveling to Europe! Holland, Amsterdam to be specific. And I’ll be traveling around for 3 months, after which I may go over to UK for a few more months, as I’m eligible to stay in UK for 6 months without a visa. *Starts cheering and throwing party poppers*
It’s really exciting for me because this is the first time I’ve been to the Western part of the world. Some of you may recall from…

Update Dec 29, 2010: Thanks everyone who tuned in and for all your kind words! ♥ Check out the photos and uploaded videos here.
Hey all!! I’m very excited to share that I’ve just been contacted yesterday by Channel News Asia to appear for a live interview segment next Tuesday!
For the non-Asian readers, Channel News Asia is a huge and highly reputable Asia news broadcaster, covering news in over 10 Asia territories. It’s like the Asian equivalent of BBC and CNN imo. Read: Wikipedia page | CNA Website.
I’ve been invited to speak on the topic of bucket lists, where I’ll share my bucket list, what bucket lists are for, and how it helps us to live a more fulfilling life. I’ll be part of a panel of other guests (there will be 4 of us in total I believe), and we’ll be interviewed by Flying Dutchman as part of the CNA BlogTV segment.

My Photoshoot With Simply Her Magazine (July Issue)
A few weeks ago, I was contacted by Simply Her Magazine to give coaching advice on workplace persona and how one should carry oneself at work. Simply Her magazine is a consumer lifestyle guide in Singapore, with a readership of 110,000. It offers practical solutions on everything that interests the modern, working women, such as home, career, family, consumer, health, fashion, beauty, travel and self-empowerment.
As a case study, I was asked to offer my career coaching to a brand manager in a local company. The task entailed (1) shadowing her at work for 2 days – from being in meetings, interacting with colleagues, liaising with customers, talking on the phone, giving presentations, etc -, (2) observing how she carried herself in these situations, and (3) coaching on those areas – what were the positive areas, what could be improved, and in the process helping readers learn how to project their best workplace persona.
After the coaching wrapped up, we had a photoshoot as part of the article feature. My past media photoshoots were done in my home, and this was my first media photoshoot in a studio. It was a very fun experience, and the stylists and designers were very fun loving people too :D.
Here’s some pictures of the photoshoot to share with you guys:
