So, You Think You Can Write?
Calling all ladies!
There’s a new site in town called Notes From Venus, and they’re looking for more female bloggers/ writers to join in the fun. You can post about anything under the sun, and YES! There’s a contest too! Stand to win a free spa treatment if your post is published.
To quote from their website:
Notes From Venus is intended to be the voice of women in Asia, which means we would like to hear from everyone out there instead of just the opinion of several writers. The idea is to bring all stories related to women to the forefront and to give them importance and meaning in the form of a collective where others can come to find their place, share in the stories and draw from them thoughts to inspire, amaze or surprise.
For talented writers, and wannabe professional Bloggers, eager to express their creativity and ingenuity, Notes For Venus is an avenue to explore capabilities and push the limits of writing, and, to have your voice heard and thoughts and ideas read by countless women from within the region and beyond.
Notes For Venus will also act as a platform from which our writers can gain exposure and in the process establish an active writers’ network
Hope to see you there! And yes, I’ve linked the site at my sidebar too.
PS : Guys, don’t even think about writing as a woman. Trust me, THEY KNOW! If you’re caught, may you grow man-boobs like the ones on Meatloaf in Fight Club. :P
The day I was almost pau’ed
Seriously, aku kadang2 serba salah kalau ada orang (mostly lelaki la) tahan aku tengah jalan, asking for cash. Macam2 alasan aku dengar. Motor pancit la. Baru tiba dari kampung pastuh kena pau la. Petang tadi ada sorang mamat ni jumpa aku. Nampak gaya macam Indon. Nak seringgit katanya, buat tambang bas. Dia bagitau lagi, yang dia baru jek keluar dari penjara. (I was like O.O kejap. Ingat nak tanya soalan bodoh, kenal tak Michael Scofield, tapi aku batalkan niat murni aku tuh). I declined nicely, “takpelah” (macam la mamat tu nak jual barang kat aku, tapi yelah, kekadang dalam situasi macam tu, kita tatau nak cakap apa). Tongue tied. Takut pun ada. Tambahan pulak sekarang ni macam2 benda kau dengar dari mulut orang dan melalui email. Macam2 kes orang buat sebab nak cepat kaya, guna pukau la, bomoh la, guna internet la. Kau jadi paranoid android. Memang niat di hati nak tolong, tapi what if suddenly aku kena pukau pastuh hilang semua duit, dan esoknya polis jumpa mayat aku kat tepi longkang kat Semenyih sana. Tak ke naya tu? Tensen, tensen…
For Nadia & Yatt:
Beb, this is the mag I was telling you about. Ada dalam 30++ pages of pure punk goodness, particularly in the year 1976. Ada artikel and banyak gambar yang phoar, pasal Sex Pistols, The Ramones (oi!), Siouxsie Sioux and the Banshees. Aaand, ada artikel menarik kalau kau nak tulis pasal Lacuna tuh. Kalau kau still belum ada lagi, dan nak pinjam, sms aku, kay!
Haha, aku terperasan satu ayat ni dalam artikel pasal The Arctic Monkeys (in this mag) –
Another MySpace success story is Chicago punk band My Chemical Romance, whose 2004 album, Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, has sold more than a million copies.
CHICAGO?!?!?! Wtf? Bob Bryar must’ve been so proud… :P
PS: Yatt, CD okay tak? Maklum le, bootleg, hehe. Kalau prob, bagitau aku, nanti aku bagi a new one :). Thanks a lot for inviting me for lunch dan sempat ‘melawat kawasan’ lagi tu! Heh, korang le kawan blogger pertama aku yang berkunjung ke kubikel aku tu. Tahniah, tahniah… :P
Some of the goodies at my cubes now… Yatt kata aku ni 'jiwa remaja terperangkap dalam badan mak orang berusia 31 tahun'. Heh. Sukati kau le Yatt... :P
Ah, another MyChem pic spam before I finish… Hmm.. dunno about you but I think Frank Iero looks like Zacky Vengeance's (angelic) twin in this pic. Ah-sum!
Gaah! So many similarities! The inked sleeves, the lick! The same gaze. Italian guys are HAWT. :PToodles!Labels: Achtung, Music, My Chemical Romance, Personal
