Happy Chinese New Year!

First of all, a very Happy Chinese New Year to all those celebrating! I hope that you have had fun during your break because I know I have! Today is my first day back on the job after my Chinese New Year leave and it has been such a refreshing change.

At the moment, I don't have much to do because there is probably not much events going on seeing as everyone is just fresh out of the long weekend break. But instead of going online to Facebook or Twitter, I have decided to spend my time reading up on online news sites; especially CNN and The Star. Truth be told, I seldom read the newspapers because of the following:

• I don't want to get my hands dirty from the ink.
• Newspapers are not stapled, so it's really tiring to maintain your arm's position when reading it so that papers won't come falling down.

Which is why I have decided to settle for reading news online. Not only does it make my online time more productive, but I can learn so many things. Now, I log on everyday to keep track of some heavily-focused on issues such as the protests in Egypt, the voting decisions of the people of Sudan and so much more.

Not only am I informed on what is currently happening around the world, but I can see how the media handled these news. Also by reading the readers' comments, I somewhat know what to expect when writing an article and it is safe to say that not everyone has the same views! Which is why this is very important to ensure that you don't offend anyone when writing an article.

That is all from me right now. Seeing as next week I officially end my internship (bring on the party hats!), I will post one last post about my experience here so far.

Take care and HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR to those celebrating!
