BZ Magazine!

Finally, announcing the arrival of BZ Magazine Edition 05/06! yea it sounds a little old.. but maybe juz coz it was a year long effort put in by me and my team.. frankly it was my endless time sitting in front of the computer getting stressed out by writing articles and choosing pictures.. and lots of sacrifice in terms of of academics.. but nonetheless.. the efforts paid off.. and the results are better than expected..

it's almost a week old already.. the first thing i did when i received it on thurs was: dash to the clubroom.. pick up the first one and started flipping through.. i wasn't reading or even registering anything.. i mean i've read enough of the articles and seen enough of the pictures during the process.. it was more like i wanted to feel it.. the final product.. my time and effort.. even till today.. when i see someone i noe carrying it around.. i'll juz borrow it, flip it open, close it, and return it back.. sounds weird.. hmm...

but the feeling of having something of ur effort, of ur overall coordination being so successful, everyone who may or may not noe that it is ur product holding on to it, reading it intently.. is indescribable.. and during this period i've gotta thank those who have offered help to me in one way or another.. who gave me encouragement when they saw me stressed out in front of the computer for the umpteenth time.. thank you all..

gave it all out to the freshies.. but i thot that the seniors deserved it more coz ultimately it is the story abt them.. i've still got another 300+ copies.. and i haven't really given it out to the seniors yet.. yep people complain abt their pictures being not too nice, complain that they appear too much or don't appear in the mag, and yes people talk abt me being biased.. haha but oh well.. i promote things more when i feel that they are beneficial to the rest.. and of course there are mistakes in the mag which i hoped for it to be corrected.. but perfection is sometimes too demanding when people are involved..

i kept 5 copies for myself.. can keep as momento cum portfolio.. haha.. but i'm proud of my team and my work.. and i'm proud enough to have approaced all our vice deans and corporate development pple and given them a copy.. the school may wanna reprint another 1000 or 2000 copies for distribution of jcs.. hmmm.. gotta go find out the cost and dig out the contract with regard to reprinting..

i thank the commendments from all.. on the balance in the coverage, on the design layout which frankly is not done by me haha.. on the choice of pictures, even on the accuracy of prediction of relationships by star signs.. try it.. i've really received many comments on that! haha..
