RAHMAN formula revisited

January 19, 2009 · 6 Comments

I normally don’t talk politics. You might remember my post on the RAHMAN formula. A friend recently told me his theory that when we get to the end of RAHMAN ie. the prime ministers Rahman, Abdul Razak, Hussein Onn, Mahathir,
Abdullah Badawi and Najib … then, after that, the next prime minister will not be from UMNO!

I don’t if this is going to happen. But it certainly is very interesting.

Sorry this is such a short post as access to a computer whilst here in Kampung KL is not easy.

More from me soon ….

Creative Writing Workshop

January 9, 2009 · 3 Comments

Just a quick post about a Creative Writing Workshop in conjunction with the MPH-Alliance Bank National Short Story Writing Competition.

We’ll use extracts from Juriah’s Song (not because it’s an example of particularly great writing but because I’ve got it readily available in soft copy! :) ). Through reading it we’ll discuss setting, character, dialogue, description, plot, ideas etc. You’ll also be doing your own writing and we’ll also have fun too.

Yes, you do need to register with MPH (not me) and so give them a call (details below) if you’re interested.

Date: 18 January 2009 (Sun)
Time: 10:00 am – 1:00 pm
Venue: MPH Megastore 1Utama, Booker Room

Theme: How to Win a Writing Competition

Tunku Halim is back for another creative writing workshop in conjunction with The MPH-Alliance Bank National Short Story Prize 2009. Learn from the master of horror stories to get you started on writing. Limited seats available for participants age 13 years and above.

Interested participants can register at MPH Megastore, 1 Utama Customer Service or call 03-7726 9003 or email csoneutama@mph.com.my
