An Introduction - Finally

in introduceyourself •  8 years ago  (edited)

Hi, my name’s Joey.

I live on the sunny island of Singapore which, in case you were curious, was ranked the world’s most expensive city for expats for the fourth year running. I have also lived in the United States – more specifically, in the state of Texas – for five years during my childhood.

I have just graduated from the National University of Singapore, where I was reading law for four years. However, I do not plan on being a lawyer, and am currently exploring alternative career paths. I love to read, write, research, edit and this is where Steemit comes in. I truly hope Steemit becomes mainstream, and that in time to come I would be able to make a living through my Steem posts. (I have explored this in https://steemit.com/steemit/@joeylim/four-reasons-why-steemit-is-good-for-those-newly-venturing-into-blogging.) Then it would be like being a freelance writer, only freer.

I am a rather quiet and reserved person in real life, but that does not mean I do not have strong opinions of my own. I express my thoughts better through the written word. In my spare time I like to cycle, sing, crochet etc. I have a wide variety of interests, particularly in the arts, yet my struggle is pursuing each of them consistently (who can empathize?).

I hope to get to know many of you in the coming years, so feel free to leave a comment and get in touch!

Hi Joey. Welcome to Steemit. Stephen

Hi @stephenkendal, thank you for welcoming me! (:

Hey @joeylim! Glad to have another South East Asian here on Steemit! We're practically only a small sea away! Love to have someone who I can culturally relate with in this new platform of freer-than-free speech. Living in Singapore is hard as it is, I've been there a few times visiting my friends and golly! I can't keep up with the rushy lifestyle!

I cant even imagine studying Law in one of the toughest national university in the world!

Love to see your expression in the arts of writing in this platform that rewards people like you a thousand times over. Followed and resteemed. Hope we can be in touch and I like that you used the phrase in the coming years. Because I sure am positive Steemit's not only gonna stay but be something that changes all our lives! 😁😁

hi @awesomianist! (: I'm glad to meet with you, a SEA neighbour too! (: Have followed you too.

How is life in Sarawak? More laid back than Singapore? Haha, yes here it is all rush rush rush.

meep

Life is Sarawak is great! There's lots of opportunities for a hustler but one can still live a relatively comfortable life being chill and laid back.

The people are wonderful, everyone smiles at you. And the music... My my the music.

In fact I'm attending a jazz festival tonight!

And in a few months time. There's gonna be a big one!

Sarawakian's we love our music. Our natives are famous for their traditional music. In fact I had a personal friend who is famous for playing the Sarawakian traditional music using the sape.

Welcome!

Welcome to Steemit!

Welcome to steemit. I am indeed bit surprised to know that you do not like to follow law as your career.

Thank you @geegitravel! (: I enjoyed the study of law - it taught me much - but I do not think I am suited to be a lawyer.

Thanks for your reply
