I am listening to the soothing song Semalam by Sean Ghazi as I sit in my "cybercafe" at home. No hustle bustle of the office, no laughter, no cries. No screams from the children too. Eldest is at work, my second is in Segamat and my youngest in still in bed, taking advantage of the two-day haze break.
Too quiet. Overlooking the "cybercafe" is a neatly trimmed garden. I had to leave it to Subaiah, the grasscutter to do the job this time. I want to saviour this eight-day break, after a three-month stint as the caretaker editor of New Sunday Times.
Before I go back to the grind at the Newsdesk. I am still overseeing New Sunday Times with Selvi and Faridul, so they say, on top of the Newsdesk stint.
It was a tiring three months, churning out assignments for the five writers, clearing copies, checking pages and on Saturdays, become OC1. This time, I will alternate with Selvi and later with Faridul to do OC1 work on Saturdays.
It was fun though. Received kind words from the readers, friends and sometimes bosses on the product. All these made my day on Mondays.
Hopefully, I can escape the Saturday OC job more often now, which I have not enjoyed for the past six months, missing out gatherings, weddings (a blessing in disguise!) and lepak2 with the family....
