A lot has happened since my last entry. Enough to keep me away from m’blogging keys. I’m moving away from the city I love/hate, for one, and it’s all for a new job (that would be the two) that friends can’t stop teasing me about.
Well, after my first few weeks at MICROSOFT…uhuh, you read right…things haven’t been all that bad for this former Macist. I have an Apple on my phone and an MS logo on my ID card. Both fit in the same pocket just fine. My Manicbytes now flow from a Windows machine though and the sight of me on a VAIO has turned some friends cold.
Every single close friend and ex whom I’ve brought over to the cult of Mac has come back to whale on me. But this mista now runs Vista…sorry I couldn’t resist that…and the transition was smoother than I thought it would be. I realized that the brushed-metal of 10 kinda overstayed its welcome. But I’ve come to appreciate more than just Aero.
Microsoft offered me my first steady job out of University, a post I couldn’t turn down. I am the Country Editor of MSN Malaysia (I know…right!) and the youngest person on their team (by about 7 years). It’s a challenging role for me and an offer I gladly accepted.
Microsoft’s Online Services Group is one of the few in that arena still investing in their editorial content, in the Southeast-Asian region. I respect the company for that and they have made me feel welcome, Mac-flaws and all.
I love my new employer but don’t mind friends’ jokes. It’s another clash this Indian-Chinese, Catholic Malaysian with an American UK degree has taken into his stride. I’m funny that way. I hope I do my new job proud though and thank the Lord everyday for His blessings, to Him all glory and honour be.
I am closing and opening chapters left and right and it’s not a time that’s really great for blogging 
so if my mark is missed on these pages and you feel like catching up, just drop me a line.
I am sure though, that I’ll be back to blogging at my regular pace soon.
