From the time Robin Yee realised he'd never be a Broadway headliner or a $300-an-hour shrink,
he's inflicted his idiosyncratically tortured prose on readers of national newspaper The Straits Times, best-selling English entertainment magazine 8 Days, and global financial wire services, Bridge News, which has since been bought over by Reuters.

Since 1997, the professional rolling stone (who had primarily covered Crime, Entertainment/Lifestyle, Chinese and Business beats) turned his energies to torturing journalism students at Ngee Ann Polytechnic and building an even more varied freelance portfolio of magazine articles, Chinese-English translation, copywriting and online consultancy work. His therapist calls this progress.

When he is not holidaying with his wife and desperately hunting for internet cafes
to keep in touch with his student editorial teams, Robin acts as faculty advisor to
3 campus publications:
1. UrbanWire(entertainment and lifestyle e-zine)
2. hype(lifestyle magazine)
3. Tribune(NP newspaper)
and a 4th outreach magazine, hyper, that reaches 40,000 households in Singapore,
thrice a year.
