Back in Action

After a long hiatus at my Malay blog. I present to you a story, originally titled 'Bring Back the Smile' written by yours truly. Translated, it became 'Kembalikan Senyuman Itu'. It's quite a challenge to return to writing in Malay. My last post in Malay was August last year so imagine the gap.

I stumbled to translate several words such as mines, relief workers, mass. Have to knock my head a bit to spit out the suitable word. Even then I still find it rather odd. Do give your feedback, it's highly appreciated! Read it up here.

Write and Write

This week had been the work of paper works, concepts and ideas. While coming up with concept and details for a writing project I also need to do a paperwork for Madani. Before this, I'm quite hapless when facing the task of writing a lot for two unrelated task but this time around I've learned the trick.

Dubbed the KJ Method, I was first exposed to it 2 weeks by Mr. Fauzul from PTS. Last week, Pn. Ainon - the PTS Sifu herself go into deeper details of the KJ Method. Broke free from linear writing method, I find that it's easier for me to generate ideas and add it to the respective writing task. Even if that means juggling between a novel and a serious paperwork.

Having overcame the challenge to came up with ideas, now I need to (quite) forcefully will myself to write. And the other challenge is to brush up my Malay writing again as I find it sounds odd like being translated word-by-word from English.

Well, this will affect my psyche a bit as I must merge the dualism of my language mastery. I'm proficient in English for technical stuffs but not so in daily conversation while the opposite is true for Malay. Huh, odd thing eh?
