1) PART-TIME JOB: Tuesday, 19 February 2008, 11.00 am; Banana Leaf, Centerpoint

Some kind of part-time job interview to write for a new magazine called LED which will launch its inaugural issue in March. It is a bi-monthly lifestyle and living magazine. I will be given information about businesses such as boutiques and restaurants and I will have to write advertorial-like articles for the magazine. Marcus Chang introduced me to this job and he is also doing designs for the magazine. Looks like I got this job, albeit in a probation period first. I will keep my current sales job and write articles during my free time. =)

2) PRINCETON PHONE INTERVIEW: Tuesday, 19 February 2008, 9.00 pm, Starbucks Cafe, The Mall

Received a phone call from Professor Xu in Singapore who called to conduct a phone interview on behalf of Princeton. The interview lasted 10 minutes plus and it was mainly about general stuff such as my family background, involvement in sports and music, answering my questions about Princeton, etc. An easy interview, to say the least. Reinforced my perception of Princeton as a place with much emphasis on education quality but less on entrepreneurship and start-ups. Go Stanford!

3) VOLUNTEERING FOR WORLD CONGRESS OF IT: Wednesday, 20 February 2008, 10.45am, Menara Millenium

Basically there will be this World Congress of IT 2008 in Malaysia sometime this May, and 2500 delegates from all over the world, including some big shots like Bill Gates and many CEOs of the largest tech conglomerates, are coming to Malaysia. To run the event, massive volunteer manpower is needed and thus I volunteered myself for the event. I volunteered due to my interest in high-tech companies and my fascinating with them. Since signing up as a delegate for the Congress would cost me RM3000 plus, I figured that volunteering would be the next best thing. The interview went well, and I was rather fascinated that there was an office suite of many people dedicated solely to the WCIT event. So professionally and painstakingly planned. I stand to be paid RM 80 per day throughout the event, but nevertheless the experience and networking would be priceless.
