Personal Translator Services

Thank you for browsing this website. This is a personal blog site.

I am a young Chinese Singaporean. I have worked in a multi-national corporation for more than 10 years. Part of it - 5 years were outside Singapore in Hong Kong during which I picked up Cantonese langauge. Additionally, I worked with various nationalities in a regional job capacity which meant that I understand how different culture & country background developed the different working style of my multi-national colleagues.

After which, I resigned from the corporate world and decided to go into language thing. I then worked in a kindergarten in Shenzhen, China. I was a recruiter and trainer for English teachers for the kindergarten. SO I have a great exposure in the chinese culture in China on ground.

Other than the exposure to the different culture and country background, I was also exposed to various languages. I am fluent in English, Chinese and Cantonese. I write and read English and Chinese language. In my church, I join two services - English & Chinese. I am frequently called upon to translate(speech) from English to Chinese simultaneously on stage to congregation, or one-to-one when I am chaperone over Chinese visiting pastors.

Besides, I also assist in translating for English to Chinese or Cantonese in various ceremonies - such as wedding, funeral or house warming.

To further equip myself, I have studied a business translation course (English-Chinese) offered in Singapore Polytechnic.

Having said the above is to qualify what I could offer as service to you :

1) Translate correspondence (English to Chinese)
2) Provide Business naming / Namecard advice
3) Provide consultation services for culture differences
4) Exhibition Fairs services- Compilation of exhibitors information

Translator in person :

2) Business negotiation translator
3) Travel Chaperone to China,Hong Kong or Malaysia (for exhibition fairs)

All costs can be negotiated - depending on what service packages you want. My daily rate should be about USD80-USD120. Where travelling out of Singapore is needed, you will pay for the air-ticket,hotel accomodation, meals and transport during the trip.
