JUST CAN'T STAY

I thought of fueling in my car this morning, when i found out this place, which is called AM. It is actually very near to the place that im staying, but i didnt see any cyber cafes around, so i just drove around when finally i came to this cc. well let me describe it as a place hell of kids who are fond of computer games, im not really sure how much of their parents' money theyve been spending for those stupid games. and for the first time, i had to pay first before getting my service. rm 3 per hour. wow, thats nice. huh!

My boreness has brought me here, ive watched ranges of programmes on tv from those funny cartoons till news and to hindi movie too. and i just fell asleep coz there was nothing else to do in my empty house, and also because i get used to the feeling of working every saturday and sunday. plus my boyfriend is not around, so i feel a lil bit lonely. and i get addicted to check on my website, whether there are some other messages and feedback from kids, well i just have to check on that every day, and need to reply them back as soon as possible to make those kids happy, and for that they will keep replying me and keep buying my magazine ;).

well nothing much...just wanna post some pix when i was surrounded by these 'desperate' kids in jb...enjoy... - delly

SKY SO HIGH!

Again, in a gap of two days, i got this opportunity of watching another movie, after Flightplan. Sky High is definitely a movie for E-Baca lovers, the main character, Will Stronghold somehow reminds me of our very own Rudy Thunder.

Suzie came to watch the movie too, what really a surprise, coz yesterday i was remembering her so much. Still the same Suzie, she looked pale with a baju kurung that i think ive seen last 5 years after we graduated, during the uni days. :+) One word. We journalist people just dont care what to wear, when and how long the age of the clothe is. As long the outfit fits us well, makes us move so groovy and feel easy. That what i always do with the collections of my old baju kurung. Well, unlike my mom, i just dun care.

We shared a lot of stories, including the latest of my not-so-close friend, Shah who just got an offer to work with Cosmopolitan magazine, and for that he has to leave Eh! magazine with honour ;). Last time, it was always my dreams to work with Eh! a.k.a BluInc company which has their own branches in a few other countries. I love Eh! mainly because Wirda and Rosie were there, and these two idols of mine introduced a housestyle which is very catchy and lovely, and always make the readers feel close to the editor and the editorial team. I just love the way they put their words and sentences. So that time i learned a lot to be the second wirda or rosie (but obviously i cant be them, i can only be myself!).

When this auntie named Asiah took over Wirda's place, Eh! is still the same, but not exactly the same. I somehow felt that "the touch" wasnt there anymore. Every single word seems so loose and with no direction. But still i kept reading (read: still reading) the mag because my friend Shah was there and furthermore, my graphic artist Gunn, quit from my company and joined Eh! too. Then there came In-Trend magazine, which is very much copycat of Eh!, because what? Because Rosie has become the editor of that mag of Astro, and she carries her style in her writing pieces.

Well there is still a long way ahead, im not sure of my position in this company yet, but the main first thing is to make myself happy in whatever i do. When im happy, other people around me will be double happy. And that would this life so much happier. Ive heard masses of rumours, from everywhere and every one about this placa, but i just dont care and i dont want to think anything.

Life is too beautiful, lets live to its fullest! - delly

The Rejection

Ive heard rumours about how suck my company is, including the owner and the owner-to-be. Not just because of the budget issues, about orthodox ideas of promotional plans, but everything. I didnt believe at first coz all i wanted to do was to be really comitted with my work, n other than that, none of my business.

How come a young owner-to-be, who was just graduated from not local university, converse in english like water-flow, could reject the idea of promoting these three magazines meant for teenagers in a great IPT like UITM? And what made me bengang more, when she agreed to promote those stupid mags in schools, together with my mag and bk. What the! When it comes to the right readers and audience out there, i always make myself reasonable and balance enough. But im not sure with this makcik who just got married a couple of months ago.

Im not complaining but i begin to think that under the other makcik, the sampling programme went so smoothly. We did sampling almost every where, where moms and kids were together, even i jumped to the streets and schools, and clubs, and lake gardens, i never cared whoever they are and with kind of people i met - just one objective to be fulfilled - to know and to make it known!

But what kareno told me last time, really makes me think twice, till now. - delly

My Confessions...

;) I just came back from JB last two days, and I was damn happy there, spent really good and quality time with Ida and CK, and it was such a relief when you could share something with some good friends. those days in jb too, i got to know kareno better, as a friend in person and as my colleague. and the most important thing, we have built a close relationship with MARA and haza as well, thanks to this cute gal, for the treat and offer, that finally my dreams to promote my ebaca in jb has been achieved.

well lots of things keep playing in my mind, god i really love my baby, my very own ebaca and my objective is to make this cute mag to be known wholly malaysia. ive got some plans of course, but to make it reality is kinda difficult because not everybody is supporting, including my parents. that is the main obstacle for me. and being an allrounder, the only one i should be taken care for is, myself. hey, i always tell myself that it is not easy to be a teacher, but more difficult to be a writer and tell the whole world to be good. especially to children. wow what a great challenging commitment!

anyways i dun mind to sacrifice even half of my time and money, because i just know that theres no other contribution from me to the nation, other than this. ;)

wheneveer i am able to sleep in nite without any interruptions, that means im leading a good life ahead. and after being located in the gen-y division, together with bk and the other three comics mags, i feel really being me, and my writers are all working so happily. without the power of r&d, we have splashed the best creativity and the best topics to the kids.

and we have more ample and leisure time to work, even to watch movie! today, me, ck and ida went to watch flightplan by jodie foster, and damn it was a good movie, just like panic room which i watched two years back. and what made it cool, coz going to cinema for movie preview is definitely part of our job. how cool! wish to watch chicken little, zorro 2 and zathura in nearly future! and also narnia and harry potter: goblet of fire ;).

and a good news conveyed to me by suzie today, she is engaged! congrats, sue! - delly

10 MINUTES NOTES

It is about another 10 minutes to leave the office, and i am completely relaxing myself at this moment, after pasing the deadline successfully. Thinking that i may have something to write about, so i just jot down what i feel like writing now.
Im going to Johor Bahru tomorrow, again for the sampling and promotion of my very, vey la the magazine. Thank u to haza for opening the door of opportunity for us, we work closely with MARA now and i guess it is such a golden chance for is us to step more further.
I wanted to write about this last Monday, but i just forgot as i had so many things in my mind before. My brother sms-ed me on sunday morning asking for the pc, that was kinda normal. but what made me felt so sad inside, when he again sms-ed me and asked whether theres any job availability in my company. i saw my mom cried when she told me about him last time when she was in shah alam. i was sad too, yes i did, as i saw the sms, i began to think that he must be in great difficulties now, because he never asked me help for anything. for anything. just like i never asked him for anything.
i could imagine his life now, when the wife has to work even harder to support the family. and i know my dad somehow feels so bad about his son's condition, because my brother used to earn more than 5k when he was working with my dad, as his personal assistant and staff manager. when there was no more contract to sign-in, no more offers from the government to cater kids and students in universities, my dad and my brother just had to quit and they tried to concentrate on other kind of business, like petrol station etc, but it just didnt work out well because of lack of experiences.
i used to be very sad and angry to him to what he did, but i guess it was his responsibility and he managed it so damn-well. i know that life sometimes is so bitter, that we cant even swallow the air we are breathing. it is just so hard. and it is like a wheel too. and i believe that he is so well in the ground and needs help.
i have no vengeance with him, and ill try my best to help him out. - delly
