thank u Scott for your recommendation. Yes I am now working for an experienced company. Not the best company in design in my opinion but still there’re things that I can learned from. Heard some companies which are good in design are tough towards their employees i.e. working for long hrs etc. Can’t have everything in one place I supposed.

Thanks Robert W and Peter G for your replies. I agree with both of you. While it’s exciting working in a fast-paced metropolis such as Shanghai where we to get to see our design implemented quickly, I am not convinced that employees should be working OT regularly like nothing without getting extra pay.

Thanks Tony for the recommendation. The lectures look interesting but I am looking for a longer event if I were to travel all the way from Shanghai to UK just for a short lecture. Do you know of any conference worth attending?

Hi James,
I do not have much comments on your portfolio. Just thought that I share with you mine as a reference (browse with Chrome, Firefox or IE 9 and above) http://www.benjaminloh.net/ Usually what impressed me is not just the projects themselves, but how they are being presented and articulated in a poetic manner.
Press on! -

lol… certainly, I agree with you. I get what you mean. Ultimately it’s the attitude than credentials. The problem I have now is getting myself hired and often employers only looking for credentials. Sad.
