The successful set up of this website meant a lot to me. I have been pondering about setting up a website of my own, primarily to satisfy two desires. First, I have wasted my precious ten years during my twenties thinking that I cannot write, and was utterly miserable in my marketing career. To me, marketing is CRAP. All those so-called marketing strategies are simply BULLSHIT. After experiencing myself, I find that marketeers very often are just getting tons of vendors to help them do the work. Market research, find a market research agency to do it. Advertising, get an advertising agency to do it (which is often fluff). Public relations, source for an agency to do it. In the end, as I pursued this route further, I realised I might very well be a jack of all trades but master of none. I will just be a high level coordinator at the end of the day. Is this what I want? No. But I admit I have side-tracked. I will devote one post to this topic very soon.
Secondly, I am sick of the corporate shit out there. As I shifted from marketing to my current role as a public relations/corporate communications role, life gets shitter. No matter how good you are in writing, it always gets vetted by the top management who are not as good as you in terms of grammar and the way media works. However, you got to listen to them. Why should I, since I am the one who should be a specialist in this field? I got frustrated but I was mentally prepared by my PR mentor that this is the way life goes in the corporate world. Hence, I decided to create a website of my own. Through this website, I will get to say what I want to say – 100% my own thoughts and feelings – undiluted.
Many successful bloggers have a specific theme dedicated to their website. For me I am still trying to decide on a few, hence I decided to leave it open for now. There are many topics that I want to touch upon: the stigma of a single living in an Asian society, the woes of being a public relations professional and a very poor cousin to marketing, office politics, and other random musings as I go through life and the people that I meet on a daily basis.
One thing I want to do is to stay close to the normal things and circumstances we go through regardless of nationality and culture. I hope to hear from readers who happen to pass by my blog, contributing their ideas and comments.
Thank you and hope to hear from you.
