This is me after almost a year of silence… Why? because I was too busy… even though last year I was out of job.. I managed to still keep busy.. All good you’d say ? of course…
Rose Demon by R.J Ibrahim will be out in stores hopefully by June 2012… Yay for me!!! Yup, thats me even though I am using my dear Father’s name… just because.. 
its like a tribute to him..
“ Here you go Raj, aunty bought you your favorite Nasi goreng Kampung like you always eat,” Aunty Nirmala beckons Razman to her with the large packet of rice.
“Ok Aunty Mala, that’s very sweet of you. Lets eat together at the Janitor’s room”, he replies fondly to her.
Aunty Mala is the only person he speaks to at his office. She calls him the way his mother used to call him- Raj.
Ever since his mom passed away, Aunty Mala is the only person whom he regards to as the closest motherly role. That’s the reason why he seldom goes back to his hometown now.
Since he hardly speaks to anyone at the office to reduce the office politics, being with someone not from his office provides the personal security he had always loved.
“ How was your day today, son? Anything interesting at work?”
“ Nothing much la Aunty, normal stuffs. Before I went out to lunch, came across several girls gossiping and talking – I don’t like that type of girls lah”.
“ You better don’t say that you don’t like- afterwards you will end up marrying a girl like that!” and she laughs out loud.
“ No la, not like that Aunty. They were talking about some entity and ghosts in the toilet.. I don’t like hearing that because you are working in the toilet areas. I don’t want anthing happening to you if the stories that they were gossiping about is real, “ he laments.
“ Its ok Raj, Aunty will be fine here.. Been doing this job for as long as I can remember”.
Aunty Mala squeezes his hand and gave him a warm smile of reassurance.
“Besides, if there will be any ghosts, Aunty will karate them away”. She demonstates her karate chops and they both laugh endearingly.
Razman goes back to his office after finishing his lunch with Aunty Mala. He is secretly glad he befriended her- she’s been nothing but kind towards him.
Suddenly he felt pangs of pain from missing his late mother.
I have decided to write about my cats. Write, compile all their photos of past and present ones and then just talk about them..
An impromptu discussion with an ex school mate who shares the same love for the furry creatures are thinking of the same thing.
What we plan to do is:
1. Compile all of the pictures of our cats in soft copies or hard copies
2. Write some short, quirky and cute paragraph on how the pic have came about
3. I will do the editing.. ehemm ehemm
4. Get it publish!
5. Enjoy reading it..
How about that eh?
the proceeds to the book can be contributed about 2% of the sales to the SPCA… hmmmm
Stll thinking.. hehe
We are growing..

I spoke to one of my colleagues and he mentioned about taking certifications that are vendor-free when it comes to IT. I agree with him as in IT IMHO, has this ‘problem’- having one too many vendor dependent certifications and thus creating monopoly. Is this true?
Like for example in Business and Accounting, they have the ACCA, ICSA and etc. Only in IT do we have this vendor dependent certs.
Something to ponder upon, perhaps?
Today I got a very interesting question from a friend-he’s asking about Tech Writing fees. Something that we Malaysians do not think about. I was just commenting to him that Tech Writing is still ‘new’ in the sense that here, we do not put the fees like copywriting or translation or web design services. He agreed and was asking me how can he gauge the market based on something that still does not exist yet.
Another field to look into is the Instructional Designer field. Module writer or educational module creator- is still a somewhat new field here in Malaysia as well.
On a good point though- if there exists no Technical Writing field that we know off- perhaps we can jump start the process by doing some sort of industry standards on it.
