*Wednesday, 9th July 2008*
I have been doing freelance food review for a local food portal organization for the past few months. They make arrangement with a particular establishment and I'll go there to sample their food, take pictures, do interviews and come up with the article to be publish on the site. So far, I have came up with 6-7 articles on different restaurants, all done voluntarily.
I got an email from them 2 days ago. Apparently, they wanna do coverage on our local street/hawker food as well and they picked me for the task. Their reasons were "cos I did a good job on article writing" and "my astounding food photography skills".
WTH.
Well, it's not that I rejected them. I accepted. But I seriously don't think that my photography skill was that amazing. I'm just an amateur with a 5 megapixel compact digital camera. No cash to buy DSLR (anyone care to donate? :p )
Anyway, I digress. According to the mail, I got RM 100/month as subsidy for the task too (the guy just SMS-ed me that they banked in the money to my account). Not quite sufficient but hey, I got paid. And I'm free to do whatever I want; no fixed article submission, no time constrain, no particular preference.
More reason to give my "mutant" friends (I'm starting to use this word again) a dinner treat. =)
Food, Food And More Food
