Now Playing: Lucky - Aurora
Hi! Long time no see.
Everytime people asked me, "Hey do you still write on your blog?"
I'll be answering something like, "Yeah. Where else would I write ..." then I laughed awkwardly before continuing with, "Cause you know, even one blog is hard to manage."
As you can see my last post was on March. Oh my!
Anyway, this evening I was craving to eat Ayam Penyet and Kit Kat. So, I randomly got myself to go to Tapak Foodtruck and Giant in Amcorp Mall to buy those.
After satisfied eating those, I just thought to myself, "Yep! I'm gonna write tonight."
For those who has been following me on Instagram / FB page Zine I-Me ... you might be familiar with my #ProjekReviu. But last month I did something a lil' bit different.
I've become a curator for twt_buku (search for this page on Twitter) for one week (22nd July - 29th July 2018). I got all excited to talk to all the bibliophile / book lovers, so I did some poster to promote my session on IG story.
Other than feeling excited, part of me were also nervous at that time because that account has 19.5 k followers. Some of 'em are writers, people who work in publishing industry, past currators, people who have read a lot of title.
During the session I was required to review 3 books I've read. Apart from that, I was also given the freedom to curate any topic I wanted (book related). So, I came up with a few topics, including zines and magazines. Really warm response I got there. I'm so happy reading the response; some tells story, experiences and many more.
At the end of this post I'll be providing the full list of links to all my topics. So you won't be missed out.

Well, hope the list help you in choosing your next book to read or even your first!
Apart from that, I also listed the magazines & zines I have in my collection. And just a few days ago, I bought two new zines to be added to my collection:

Anyway, right now I see that reading scene is growing in Malaysia. We've #MalaysiaMembaca that suggested by our Minister of Education. In the city we've KL Book Exchange, Books On The Move, Buku Jalanan. These are several example. Maybe you can name more.
Soon, I've a plan to do something like Top 3 of my Favourite Book according to publishers (especially Malaysian publishers). This will requires me to do some sorting and checklist. Hopefully, I can do it quick.
For now, drop your comment on the title you think I should read, any books that I should try to read from any publisher or Top 3 list of books genre that you want me to write first.
Till we meet again! Stay awesome!
