I love what I am doing right now. But I miss the newsprint and always eagerly waiting for the papers to arrive or if I am not working, would drive to the friendly vendor for the sweet smell of newsprint as soon as I wake up to read the news while sipping coffee.
I used to sleep on newsprint and instead of serviettes would gladly wipe my hands off with newspapers after lunch or dinner in the office.
The Nanyang lorry was my mode of transport as I travelled back to my hometown once every two weeks or so when serving as a proof reader. The piles of Nanyang newspapers were the mattress and the smell was the lullaby.
But one has to change to keep up with the times. I periodically check my email through my trusted N95 (used to be a Nokia Communicator, until it contracted the Azheimer disease). I sometimes hook the N95 to the 29-inch television for bigger view.
My laptop is constantly online and my whole house (and compound) is WiFied. I am hooked to certain blogs and websites and get my doses of latest news from the Star SMS service.
Working for NSTOnline is a privilege. I am getting live feed from all over the world. The next time, you are online, don't forget to log on to www.nst.com.my.
