750 Words: Let's do this again
1 year ago
As Time Goes By.....(Final Part)
*ahem* sorry for the long pause, I blame the busyness in PC for this
Continuing on…..
And so I’d applied with a crappy
500-word essay about myself. Not expecting much, I returned back to my normal
life minus the presence of that special, particular pullout.
School
holiday, I got the result, I WAS LONGLISTED. That’s not all, I was the only
Kelantanese who actually applied and one of the few Malay boys in the group.
They made a virtual clubhouse for all the longlisted on Facebook and there I’d
known so many talented, awesome writers nationwide.
Skipping
on, since I have much time with me, I started participating more actively,
commenting on School Sounds (now called Sync In Tune), got interviewed by last
year’s Starstruck-ers (now interns at The Star) and pretty much bothers every
single life in the group. My catchphrase in the chatbox? “Yep”, “*awkward
silence*” and the infamous emoticon -__-“.
As time
goes by, I’m nicknamed Vampire and starts getting annoyed by Nyan Cats, my
spare soul got stolen by 9gag, being on the paper more often that I thought
possible and other awesome stuffs. Always stay open-minded, I listen to rants,
comments on quirky posts and have insanely wonderful conversation with
less-than-normal humans *ahem*.
And there came the 2nd stage……
It’s simple
enough, find at least 30 subscribers and write description about Stuff@School’s
awesomeness. The problem is, my school already subscribes to the daily Star
every year…..
Meeting the
teachers seemingly everyday isn’t part of my “new year resolution lists” but
that what I need to do to achieve her trust on giving me the responsibility of
being in charge of the papers. Calling the rep isn’t actually an easy task. One
day, I texted him asking for enquires and he replied that I need to talk to
him. And so I called and what’s the reply? “Sorry, I’m in a meeting, I’ll call
you later” in a thick, Indian accent. My reaction was memorable,
“WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?????????” (of course I said that after I hanged up).
And after
20 days of eternal hell, I. Made. It. Seeing
myself being published on the paper, getting new friends, starting to say Nyan
randomly *ahem*, NOT SPARKLING, that’s what I’ve achieved. Netherless, being
chosen as a teen writer is a wonderful experience too but the most important
value that I had learned is The People itself.
