about me
I have a certified license in driving people up walls. And when I'm not busy trying (not) to do that, I blog. read more>>

They said the only constant thing about life is change.
My name is Joanne Liyeng, and I am a member of the humble Malaysian workforce. While I believe job titles can be deceiving, everything I do legitimately changes with time. I:
- am a proud member of a team of young, dedicated, talented and crazy awesome rockstar professionals called Youth Asia;
- am responsible for my company’s Operations department;
- used to be the Managing Editor of an exclusive, niche magazine called Youth Entrepreneur;
- head multiple editorial boards which I sometimes can’t seem to keep track of;
- occasionally copywrite for YouthSays, Malaysia’s Largest Youth Opinion Community where 170,000 young Malaysians actively share opinions on brands and issues;
- am your friendly neighborhood romanticized grammar nazi;
- am the only member of my humble family of 4 to have a strange appreciation for meat floss.
But that’s not all.
Who I am changes with time, situation and place, too.
Sometimes, I play the role as a student, project manager, event coordinator, ghost writer, user experience designer, daughter, sister, girlfriend, bestfriend, cousin, motherly figure, imaginary friend, crying shoulder, emotional pillar, movie buddy, film librarian and make belief minion. And when I’m not spending my time doing any of the aforementioned, I sit back to my faithful laptop, and try to enjoy scribbling endlessly on this blog.
I believe in three things: the new media, God and personal change for a better society.
I am allergic to coffee, lobsters and the sun. I find an irritating need to maintain my bed as a sanctuary of hygiene. I was born with a physical imparity, which you can read about here. I am highly and very atrociously apathetic when it comes to politics. I thrive on hot showers after a long day, and absoluteduhly cannot live without my OST collection.
I believe I know what makes me the way I am, but sometimes, I conclude that I can never really be sure. Maybe I don’t really know. And because nothing is more constant in life than change, maybe we’ll all never really know. But this one thing that I do know: I know that, as cliched as it sounds, this soul searching journey – this one you call life – is not one I’d ever miss for the world.
Who am I?
You tell me.
