Writing and Translation

In some way, writing is my forte.

Thus far, I have written three trade reports. I thank my late friend for putting out his neck on the chopping board  to give me this opportunity.  No, no rules were broken. It was by quotation.

Yes, I am  conversant with translation too!I have done a translation of two annual reports, I have also translated licenses issues by authorities  as well as assignments related to trade.

While jobs are hard to come by and the revenue generated is minuscule, the qualitative rewards are truly enormous when your writings get accepted in first draft forms!

I am not proud of my revenue thus far as it is not sustainable. So, do not try to make writing your primary preoccupation to earn a livelihood. Do it on the sideline and do not leave your day time job!
Make it a hobby that you enjoy through your own creativity and imagination!

I am currently writing a piece for a restaurant.

My Writing Life begins........

Hemingway,here I pretend........

No, it is not Batman Begins.

I am just chronicling the beginning of another more serious chapter or mile-stone of my life -writing

I have just completed the translation of a Malay text to English for a government Commission. Today I will meet up with another Corporation to take on a turnkey project incorporating both writing the text in English and then translating the approved proof copy into Bahasa Malaysia.


Big job but I think with God's blessings, I should pull through before the dateline in August.


It is not that I have not written prior to this.


I wrote the annual performance report s for a promotion council for three years though for 2011 due to budgeting problems, there will be no report. However, they may offer me a 2011-2012 bumper issue at the beginning of next year or so.


On top of that, I was also involved as a domain writer for the embodiment of the National Innovation Policy for the Prime Minister's Department back in 2011.


Currently, there could be a over-run of assignments as I will now editorised grant applications.  I do hope they pay me promptly.


I will attend the meeting with the corporation at 3.30 pm this evening and may post some-more on my return.
