i got home late last nite and found a letter addressed to me from my publisher. It turned out that one of my novel is gonna be turned into a phonovel... mmm... phonovel is a concept that my pub. made that turned your ordinary novel (printed ones i mean) into digital form (is this the correct word?) that enables readers to read the novel from their wireless.. mmmm... an interesting idea....

reading the letter once again before i turn out the light last nite.. i thought about a teacher of mine saying something like this "change of form consequently made changes in content" .. i remember him saying this when KOMPAS made a big change in their design...and we were in midst of heavy discussion whether KOMPAS re-design will effect the way news are produced in the biggest newspaper in Indonesia.

well, anyway... that thought made me wonder whether i have to do some re-writing.. well it turns out not...

suddenly i miss the old days .. where reading a big old book and smell of old papers made me wanna curl up in the biggest sofa and just read... guess kids today aren't like that, the prefer reading from a small screen while walking and laughing with friends....ahh... time really flies so fast....

i  remember the days when my 4th grade teacher sat in a chair in the middle of the class, and we all got to sit on the carpet... then she began to read  chapter from a big book that  she picked.. and discussing it with us about that chapter until the bell rang... those were the days.. still clear in my head the memory of her reading to us a mistery book, a chapter at a time.... and discussing 'who did it' everytime a chapter ends... hehehe.. those were the days when i wished really hard that the bell wouldn't ring so soon...

and I also remember being in a special writing class with 4 other people. the special writing class wasn't a ussual class that uses classroom.. but the 4 of us got the previllage to use the whole freaking library as our class room! and all we do is write.. write.. write... in the midst of all that  books... gosh... i really missed the days when writing is  simply for the purpose of writing....

i miss all that... i wish that i haven't grown up so i could enjoy all those forever.. hiks...
it's getting harder and harder to smile now...only happy memories like this made me survive another day...  (5-1 untuk dunia.. hell, y'win again!)
