Writing isn’t as easy as it seems to be. For one thing, writing a particular format demands 100% focus if you want it to come out right. Somehow, there are still probabilities that an error or two would prop up. That’s when the time you need to re-energize and reignite that grey matter of yours.
While in Shah Alam, I enjoy watching the fishes at the aquarium at the lake park. The lake park itself is also a nice place to read, study and relax. No wonder so many couples and families go there every now and then. Though that comment is directed to the more ’secluded’ smaller lake. The larger part (which faces the PKNS Complex, SIRIM Bhd and Section 2) is too crowded and ‘open’. Feel exposed there, actually. The greenery and facilities of the smaller lake (behind Wisma Darul Ehsan and Plaza Alam Sentral) provides the serenity a student and a writer needs.
Back in Sarawak, I cannot say the same for beaches. Perhaps because I rarely go to one despite living about 50 metres from one. :-p When in Betong, however, the ideas rushes into my head that if I haven’t got a paper and pen to write it down, it would all be lost. There’s something inspiring in this Saribas heartland which I seem to enjoy. I guess it’s the simplicity of things here which eases the generation of ideas.
If I’m set to be a copywriter for life, I wouldn’t mind staying at either these two locations. The privacy the two towns has to offer are magnificent. As they say in French, c’est magnifique!
Alright, now it’s off to the showers before I work on the Bandar Puteri blog <link> entries for yesterday (still unpublished) and start on the entry for today. Then it’s a bit of speech writing for me. My first project of that nature. I look forward to the challenge.
p.s. Besides the location, writing this entry out helped to slow the pace my brain is working. From serious to relax. Like a car, you do not want to overheat the engine.
