Abstained Agogo - It Has Been A While:

1- What's new pussy cat? Nothing really. It is indeed an amazing feeling that I am still getting orders for Abstained Agogo Fanzine. It is indeed an amazing feeling that I managed to sell Abstained. If I can trade satisfaction with a pot of gold, most probably I'll be filthily wealthy by now. So what's next?

2- Will there be another issue of Abstained? There were some endless pokes and taunts between me and my co editor, Azril Yatim about the ninth issue of Abstained. Will it ever materialize? Yes. When? I do not know. But there will definitely be another issue. Definitely. It is the answer to when that remains indefinite. 

3- I have already informed my other co editor, Dhani Ahmad Faisal, if we were to release the ninth issue, we would maintain the price. RM5.00 by hand and some stamps if by post. But this time around, we shall be adding 20 extra pages to the current 60. Your moneys worth. 

4- Stay tuned. 

Abstained Agogo - Beware The Closet Racist:

1- I love those Merdeka television adverts. I think they should be more serious in promoting racial unity in Malaysia. That 1Malaysia thingy, which to my honest opinion, was a good idea but execution wise, I dont think nobody up there got a fucking clue how to properly promote it. A political maneuver by UMNO to gain more votes from the non malays? Fuck you and your fucking politics.

2- The media station should put up those racial unity ads everyday if that is a possibility. If this can be done, I honestly believe long enough people must start and appreciate and love each other. Either they were all touched or exhausted, either ways they will eventually go out and hug their neighbors.

3- Race will always be there and so does race base politics. All I can say is fuck politicians.

Abstained Agogo - The Writers Block Flu:

1- Welcome to the real world of writers.

2- What is writers block? Its a writers disease where something will block your mind from getting the necessary ideas for a good entry or article or a story for your book. You might have a slight idea on a topic but you are clueless when it all goes down to the pens and papers. Or you might have no idea at all.

3- When I was writing for Abstained #8, ideas came pouring out. Now, in the midst of preparing for the next issue, I have yet to have a clue on how am I going to write or on what should I write about. I dont think we will be seeing the next issue of Abstained any sooner I guess.
