Bab 1 - Serpihan Kompas
August 23, 2006 by haziamyperspective
Namun begitu, pada saat ini, aku tidak dapat membuang perasaan benci terhadapnya. Dia telah menyebabkan aku hilang arah haluan. Dia sudah memecahkan kompas hidupku. Aku nampak jelas serpihan-serpihan kaca jatuh bertaburan. Jarumnya terburai keluar. Tidak terdaya untuk aku mengutip dan mencantumkannya semula.
Apakah salah perancangan yang telah lama aku buat? Adakah aku telah mengemudi bahteraku dengan terlalu laju menuju ke destinasi yang akan kukesali suatu hari nanti? Aku sangat keliru. Berserabut akal fikiranku, seumpama segumpalan benang yang tersimpul mati, tidak dapat aku uraikan satu persatu.
My ex-roommate from secondary school gave me some really contructive feedback during lunch today. She has gone through my first draft for prologue, chapter 1 and chapter 2. Interestingly, she pointed out that in terms of my Bahasa Malaysia, the prologue was cartoon-ish, chapter 1 was too honest/direct (Bahasa Melayu ni kena berkias-kias sikit la) BUT last but not least, chapter 2 was great! Haha..I didn’t know Engineers made outstanding language teachers:p
Apparently, it took me quite a while to sink in into writing in Malay as I haven’t done it for more than 10 years, not on a big scale I mean. So, naturally, chapter 3 was much better;)
Then I decided to go back and re-do the first 2 parts. Sample is as above:D
