MM is free

Funny, really. I was excited when the invite from The Malay Mail to the free newspaper's relaunch party last Wednesday.
Maybe more excited than some of the Malay Mailers themselves.
And to see my friends at the party made the 53-km trip to Bangsar Shopping Complex worthwhile.
I was lost initially. No familiar faces, except for a few. Then, they trickled in. And there we were, like the good ol' days except for the missing mugs in my left hand, just Coke.
And surprise! Surprise! Yushaimi was also on Coke. Muzli promised to be a good boy. He behaved! Jad was naughtier and so was Kak Eda. The executive editors, including Irwan, behaved.
Yusri was there and so was Saiful. Pearl, Haresh, Moose, Kalbana, Dawn, Ayu, Elsen, Joe, Joyce....they were all there.
Met Datuk Ibrahim Nor too.
After three hours mingling among the crowd, I left with a goodie bag, consisting of a Nano charger and a diary.
Too bad, the charger is not compatible with my Palm Pro....
Good luck guys! May MM become the most powerful newspaper.......after NST!
