Introduction from Singapore

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

This is an intro email from new comer :-)

I am CJ. I am a Malaysian Chinese who has been working in Singapore

for years. I am glad there is this list to let people to exchange

information and life experience of how to cope with CMT.

I was first diagnosed with CMT in 1984 when I was 16. Now I am 38 and

I am happy that I can still lead a " normal " life. Well, I do have

foot drop and muscle wasting at my hand but so far it doesn't really

affect my life seriously. I must be grateful as I am a born positive

and optismistic thinker and I think these characteristics have helped

me a lot in coping with CMT.

Like Serghi, I am also considered in localization/translation line. I

started my career in multilingual computing R & D and have been in

software internationalization and product localization line for 16

years. For the past 1 year, I have been taking freelance IT projects

and I am currently working in IT SOX (Sarbane Oxley).

I am hoping to get to know someone from Singapore and Malaysia in

this list, if there is any, so we can set up a local CMT group too.

If anybody knows there is such a CMT group in Singapore and Malaysia,

please kindly let me know too.

Also, I would like to hear how you pursue for love as we can't deny

the fact that CMT is a major obstacle that we face when we pursue for

true love in life. It is not easy for me to find a girl friend due to

the physical challenged condition. Currently I am in a stable

relationship but again her family has reservation when come to

marriage decision, despite that they like me. Also, we have concern

in future if this CMT is passed to our next generation. I would like

to hear from you out there on how you cope with this kind of

challenge in life, which I am sure many of you out there may share

the same experience.

Cheers

CJ
