ASK! Editors revealed!

This is the post where we bare… our souls to our gentle readers. Mei Jun, Soon Huat, Yen Yen, and Justin are librarians working in Adult & Young People’s Services, whilst Sharifah, Wanying and Rosjihanah are with Children’s Services. Happy reading!!
- The ASK! Webblog Team for 2009

Ang Mei Jun
Horoscope: Pisces (I do not believe that astrology predictions are 100% accurate, and its never advisable to base one’s actions purely on them. But its fun how they some times reflect real life.)
Personality: Prone to mood swings…
Other stuff: Hmmm…I appreciate simple things in life, and I think it is the simplicity of it that brings out happiness in people.
Books that I like: Books about children, mostly real-life

Toh Yen Yen
The first important project that Yen Yen was tasked with since joining NLB was to be one of the editors for ASK! Blog. It was scary as she is utterly clueless about HTML, (to those who are as in the dark as she is, that’s hypertext markup language!)
In her spare time, Yen Yen likes to catch foreign language films, and prowls for divine dessert places. She firmly believes that dessert is a course that is not to be missed during meal times! She counts books by Oliver Sacks, Haruki Murakami, and Milan Kundera as some of her favourite reads.

It will be coming two years since the day I join this team in 2007. Taking a momentarily pause in time and looking back, it has indeed been a truly memorable (and some may say “arduous”) journey and a gratifiying experience for me — to be able to contribute to this blog and to work with my fellow Librarians in the team. Looking forward, we strive to be of even better service to you, our most valued patrons for your continued patronage and support to our blog.

Hi, I am a road warrior. I drive a dfferent kind of wheels – my motorised wheelchair which I dubbed “my ferrari”. It has given me a new-found freedom and a sense of adventure. I have been to the new T3 airport about a dozen times already! While travelling around in our superb MRT system, I like to photojournal observations of ordinary lives here. Hope to post these to my blog one day.

Chen Wanying
Besides being a coffee lover, Wanying also loves imbibing nuggets of trivia information about fashion, entertainment and pop culture. She has a deep appreication of Archie comics and books by PG Wodehouse, John Updike and Nury Vittachi; and has a soft spot for sweet treats from Marks & Spencers.

Rosjihanah Mon
Like a true Scorpio, she’s passionate and fiercely loyal.
Her favourite things include travelling, baking, books and cats. You can easily find her at the baking aisle in supermarkets or bookstores as she loves making sinful desserts for her loved ones.
In her free time, she likes cuddling up with her cat with a good book in hand.

Sharifah
Curiosity killed the cat. Well, it certainly didn’t kill this cat! The world is filled with too many wonders & mysteries to not ponder & ask, “Why? What if? How come? Really?!”
I have always been a curious child, and was such a difficult bundle of endless questions for my poor parents! I still am a curious child today! Things would have been easier if only there was a Kids ASK service then ;) .
Besides marveling at the beauty & eccentricities of the universe and beyond, I love burying myself in books, traveling, laughing with loved ones and exploring with children who are like curious cats!

No question is too weird. Go ahead and ASK! – ask@nlb.gov.sg
