[Copywriter's Chronicles] Mishearings
Apr 9th
So, Joicy has received some clothes from Lovely Loft.
Joicy: Come and try this. *referring to clothes and pointing in the general direction of me and Vince, the new copywriter*
Me: Eh? You want Vince to try the clothes?
Joicy: LOL, no, you la!
Chris: You want Vince to buy the clothes?
Me, Joicy and Vince: …
[Civicness] Silence is not an option
Apr 8th
I happened to read this post from the Merch Girl‘s blog before I read Haris Ibrahim’s take on a dead Hindu man who was declared a Muslim at the last minute.
The first emotion that came to me was rage. I’m VERY angry at the way those in the position of power will attempt to do anything and everything they can to get money. That, and the fact that according to most of these “Muslims” there needs to be NO sensitivity spared for those mourning the loss of their beloved.
It is as though to these people, that a bereaving family does not deserve to be treated like human beings because they are not humans. That it’s perfectly fine to submit flimsy pieces of evidence (a conversion cert that did not even match the signature of the deceased!) and call that person a Muslim. Did I mention that these monsters also thought it fit to take away a BREAST-FEEDING CHILD FROM HER MOTHER because she was “of the wrong religion” and needed rehabilitation?
I’m sick of being treated like a second-class citizen because some people associate the idea of “Official Religion” with superiority. That debate is halted because calling into question the way Islam is treated in this country is an insult to that religion.
I’m sick of being told what to say, and what I cannot. I’m tired of being insulted. I’m so tired of watching my country get stolen despite the fact that we voted. I’m tired of racists who insist that I must recognise myself as a Malaysian first, but yet insist that they are Malays first before the country.
I’m sick of people who don’t know their jobs trying to tell me what to do. I hate that lies are so common here in Malaysia. That daughters, sisters and mothers who need safety are treated like animals to satisfy animals.
I’m tired of being ignored because I am a woman. I’m tired of watching my sisters be attacked because they are women, and they are women with powerful voices.
I will NOT remain silent. I WILL remember. I WILL SPEAK. I will WRITE. It is the only thing I can do.
[Copywriter's Chronicles] Speculation
Apr 7th
Me: I’m going to be dead tomorrow.
Grayfox: So do you want me to bring flowers or joss sticks later?
Me: Joss sticks would be nicer. Chris and Ian are both going to be on MC.
Grayfox: Together? Hmm…
Me: Yes. Both of them have sore throat.
Grayfox: Ok, need to stop my overactive imagination.
Me: Mission accomplished. 
Uneasy sleep
Apr 7th
Can’t sleep well for the past three days. I play with Sachiko until I can’t keep my eyes open any more and when I wake up, I feel exhausted. Something’s bothering but can’t put finger on it. Meh.

Thanks to Akane_K on Plurk, I am currently spazzing over this pic. Doesn’t help that it’s something I was considering for the couple. XD More >
Quick thoughts
Apr 4th
April is…
Shaping up to be a good month.
The month I started writing for fun. Again.
The month a certain pairing/fandom has taken over my life. Believe it or not, this is mentally healthy for me.
Car repairs month, hence another broke month.
The month I take a breather and get back into shape. In every possible way.
Where my Script Frenzy has been broken into 5 cases: Turnabout Lemonade, Turnabout Fair Play, Turnabout Deviate, Turnabout Mystic, and Turnabout Genius.
Script Frenzy: Outline
Apr 3rd
Script Frenzy seems to have snuck on me and completely taken me by surprise. No thanks to me playing Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth, I seem to have gained two new muses, who have also insisted on being the star of my Script Frenzy virgin try. Ah well.
The headache part about writing this script is the difficulty in keeping to their voices and characters. Miles and Franziska sound very similar, and the fact is after 14 pages, I still have no idea which one of these two wants to be the main character. Still, at least now I know that we’re talking about making this into a game, and Plotbot tells me that I can do branch scripts (where there can be alternates for the scenes I’ve written) so that may be a big help.
Ok, enough rambling. Now be time to create rough outline before I go offtrack (a novel can go all over the place, a script, not so). More >

Helo helo sayang

Tapi kini awak nak panggil
Sekarang saya sibuk la
Jangan, jangan panggil!

Kini di kelab
Menikmati minuman
Saya tak nak angkat!
Panggil seberapa awak suka

Beyonce:
Budak, cara you panggil saya
Takkan buat saya balik cepat
Buat saya jalan lebih cepat
Tinggalkan kawan lebih cepat
Patut saya biarkan telefon di rumah!
Kerana ini memalukan!
Kau panggil macam lintah darat
Maaf, tak boleh jawab!
Bukannya tak suka awak
Tapi saya kat parti
Dah jelak dengan
