Trendy Confessions @ Venusbuzz.com

Goodness, I've been so busy with Hari Raya preparations, it's been crazy around here! This may well be my last post for a while, since things are expected to get crazier, so let me take some time to tell you about a fabulous online boutique for plus-sized Malaysian women that I came across recently.

Called Trendy Confessions, it's run by the Jiar sisters. I found them so fascinating that first I wrote a brief piece about the store, and then I interviewed the dynamic duo for Venusbuzz.com!

Check out the article:

And the interview:

When I told them that the interview had been published online, the ladies kindly dropped me an email saying, "Thanks so much for the interview, we really appreciate it. Do let us know if there's anything else we can help you out with anytime. Have a great day!"

You're welcome ladies, and keep rocking those cool looks!

Meet Mangosteenskin @ Venusbuzz.com

Here's a recent article I wrote, which features my interview with a very creative lady who goes by the online name Mangosteenskin, or simply, Mango. She crafts the cutest rubber stamps I have ever seen! Do check out the article and her website!

I wrote an email to Mango this morning, to let her know that the interview's up. As soon as she read it, she wrote back to share her elation at being featured on Venusbuzz, she said, "Heheheheheheh...tengah senyum ni sampai telinga (I am smiling from ear to ear) ...hehehe. Thanks so much Adline!!! I feel like dancing now! now! now!"

I do love making people happy :)

Interviewed by Personal Money magazine

A few months ago, I was interviewed by Siew May from Personal Money magazine, and now the June '09 issue has finally hit the stands! Let's have a look!

The article Siew May wrote is called "15 ways to make more money".

And look! Here I am on page 70, where I share my thoughts on writing on a part-time basis. I've been struggling with the term "freelance" for a while now, since I'm not actually self-employed. I do, in fact, have a fulfilling full-time career, I just write on the side. Moonlighting is probably the better term for it, which is why I chose the online moniker "Moonlight" and decided to name my blog "Writing by Moonlight". Coincidentally, I do write "by moonlight" (at night).

Thanks Siew May! It's a wonderful article ;)

Henni's journey @ Venusbuzz.com

Some time ago, I came across an interesting Malaysian online store that sells baby gear, called Gifts from Heaven. After reading their 'our story' page, I felt compelled to contact the owner, Henni, who is a civil engineer turned stay-at-home mum and online business owner. Here's my article on Venusbuzz, which was based on our interview.
