Two issues of a magazine I worked on have picked up some international recognition — which is extremely gratifying and makes this somewhat crazy life somehow worth it.
> The Nov/Dec 2012 issue of Lifewise (right) received an Honourable Mention under the Best Healthcare/Medical Publication category in the international Content Marketing Awards 2013. I contributed five articles, including the cover story, to this issue. You can view the entire issue here.
> The Jan/Feb 2013 issue of Lifewise (left) won for One-of-a-Kind Health & Medical Publications at the 25th APEX Awards — an annual competition that celebrates the best publications, campaigns, design and media internationally. I contributed the cover story to this issue. You can view the entire issue here.
The wins were also reported in a national Singaporean newspaper. You can view the article here.
This is a story on how being a caregiver to en elderly relative can be a challenge — and how to overcome these challenges. For this piece, I got to interview this amazing lady who lives in my apartment block with her mother who suffers from severe dementia. It must not be easy for her, surely, but she always has a smile on her face whenever I see her and I have nothing but respect and admiration for how she takes life on. It really makes you question how big a person you would be, if you were in a similar situation. Would your heart be big enough?
Story on sexually transmitted infections for Lifewise Magazine. Writing this one was interesting just because I had to call up the DSC Clinic to find out some information on their opening hours. You get a good sense of how taboo this topic still is in Singapore, even to someone like myself, that I felt a tiny bit uncomfortable doing so. This was written for the Nov/Dec 2012 issue of Lifewise – a publication of the National Healthcare Group and produced by Mediacorp Customised Publishing. Click on the link to view the full article:
