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.

Thank you Andrew. Your advise is very much appreciated. I do agree that one can learn so much by just observing and analysing a built work.

Let me know if you come across any good examples

Peter G – which firms you mentioned that value work/life balance?  🙂

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?

[Benjamin Loh]

Thanks Stephen, I appreciate your comments and sharing with me your experience. I will think through it again… seriously

[Benjamin Loh]

Thanks Ida! You comments make total sense to me. I am heading to Shanghai!!!

Thanks Rob, career is my priority here but I do not want to build my career in a dungeon either. There must be some kind of work + life balance I thought? Don’t you agree?
