Sini Sana: Travel Stories, Malaysia
INTERESTED IN TRAVELLING AND WRITE, HERE IS THE GOOD CHANGE TO PUBLISH YOUR STORIES....
Title : Call for submission: Sini Sana: Travel Stories, Malaysia
Venue : MPH Group Publishing
Deadline: Sun 30 Aug 2009
Email :editorial@mph.com.my
Synopsis :
The diverse culture of Malaysia invites travellers both local and foreign to marvel at towering cityscapes where modernity dazzles with luxury or go through old trunk roads surrounded by oil palm plantations to get to breathtaking mountains, caves, beaches and the tropical rainforests.
And, of course, every traveller is amazed by food that can be exotic or a fusion of everything you know!Perhaps during a jungle trek, you stumbled upon an enchanting place, or had a (nonfatal) swim with wild animals.
Maybe you once spent an afternoon befriending villagers who had never met an urbanite off the beaten track before.
If you were a journalist invited on a ‘famtrip’, did you encounter something outside the usual itinerary of visiting the most popular marketplaces, skyscrapers and restaurants?
You might have enjoyed the tranquillity of a hideaway before it was discovered and destroyed in the name of progress and development.
Here is a chance to recapture those scenes.MPH GROUP PUBLISHING is looking for true travellers’ tales, preferably on places outside the tourist hubs in Malaysia. Stories should be in the form of travelogues with rich, firsthand descriptions of sights and sounds and even tastes.
We want engaging stories that will move us to visit the places for ourselves and also to understand why we should preserve the beauty of such places.
This is not a travel guide; we do not want to know just where to visit and how to get there. We do not want photographs; the words in the story should capture all the wonders.
Tentatively entitled Sini Sana: Travel Stories in Malaysia, we aim to publish the book in 2010, depending on the number of submissions we receive.Travel stories must be original, nonfiction, between 3,000 and 5,000 words, and must not have been previously published. We invite submissions from both emerging and established writers. Manuscripts must be edited, typed double-spaced with 12pt font and emailed to editorial@mph.com.my.
Please include your name, address, telephone number and email address. You may submit as many pieces as you wish. Faxed or handwritten submissions will not be entertained and manuscripts will not be returned.
We will contact you only if your piece has been selected for inclusion in the compilation. Writers whose submissions are selected will be expected to work with the editors to fine tune their stories.DEADLINE: 30 August 2009
PAYMENT: A small flat fee and two copies of the collection

Date : Saturday & Sunday (23 May & 24 May 2009)
Time : 10.00 am to 10.00 pm
Venue : 1Utama Shopping Centre
My family went to 1-U on 24 May, the response was not what I expected. Not many visitors waiting to run. Most of them ran barefoot. Doubt whether the organiser managed to get 1ooo ppl as expected. Ultraman, Kannan Muragasan was there. Some fun games were provided for kids like Nintendo Wii video games and a bouncing castle.
My camera was not suitable for indoor, the photos taken quite dark.
5 treadmills were provided
