I'm currently based in Penang and is in love with her blog, books and camera. Am totally addicted to black coffee (no sugar and cream, please) and nasi lemak makes me a happy, happy girl. When not reading (or working), I’m a shutterbug using mostly my good ol' Nikon D40 (and now I'm obsessed with my iPhone) to take the photos you see here in this blog. The Amazon Kindle, Dell Mini (a Netbook), Loverboy Bear (a hunkish teddy from Vermont), and Combat Bear (a plush teddy from Rhode Island) are a few of my favorite things. RSS me. And get connected through Email, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

April 23: Administrative Professionals Day


Here's wishing all my colleagues and friends who are administrative professionals (personal assistants, executive assistants, secretaries, administrator, office managers, clerks, and so on and so forth):


HAPPY ADMINISTRATIVE PROFESSIONALS DAY!


I love what I do and I hope you do too. I enjoy the flexibility of being a PA. Einstein was right when he said this: "I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious." My curiosity causes me to explore a lot of things as I go along performing my work. It causes me to stretch my thinking and do the things I do. One thing leads to another. Since I am passionately in love with books, it provides fuel to feed my curiosity. Blogging, photography and many other interests are the results of responding to curiosity, lending a touch of creativity to the profession I chose. So again I will say this: I love my job!

Book Talk

"Books give us pleasure not because they make us comfortable, though some good ones may, but because they entertain us, they make us laugh, they make us cry; they inform, persuade, disturb, convince, seduce us; they make us think, speculate, see - and we recognize what we see as true, not as the truth but as a truth in the writer's fabulous construction that corresponds to what we have observed in ourselves, or others, or in the world at large, or can conceive of observing."

- William McPherson
