pengalaman baru -best!

oh penatnye hidup di kala ini....

sebenarnya, aku ada banyak benda nak share....tapi aku sangat takde masa nak menulis.
nantilah aku cari waktu yang seswei untuk mengarang karangan...

by the way, petang tadi aku pi pearson longman... ala, publisher buku yang dikenali ramai tu..
last week, elt sales manager dia called aku. dia invite aku join focus group discussion yang diorang organize...lebih tepat, diorang ni nak publish new book about ielts. so, during the focus group discussion tu, a prototype will be given, and kitorang akan comment and highlight lah benda2 yang relevant dengan prototype tu mainly on its contents, layout, structure, appropriacy in terms of language and level and macam2 lagi lah...

discussion started at 5.30pm and it was facilitated by the regional sales manager/director - Steve King from the Japan headquarter. it lasts till 7pm and all i could say, it was fun and fruitful. best btul bila ada professional academic sharing and discussion moment. tup tup, dah pukul 7pm. participants ada 8 orang semuanya. 3 including me from the same place. and another 5 from other 4 institutions. steve said our group is so far the best focus group he has ever had. it went well and steve managed to finish it up on the dot.

the best part was.....as a token of appreciation, pearson longman gave us approx USD50 that is RM150. yeah...just for 1hour and a half. well...our contributions in ideas and thoughts are really much appreciated. yeehaa!! ^_^

so, based on our opinion, the writer for that particular book will consider our sharing thoughts of experiences and knowledge to actually improvising the books. from it, they will be able to market the book and suits the market very very well....

alhamdulillah....rezeki datang tanpa kita perasan. amin
