OMG!! I heard of this news a few weeks ago and I never believed it and then I found out this is a true news after flipping through the newspaper!! The news said this renowned magazine, Reader Digest is heading bankruptcy due to debts... =.=" (perhaps because of economic crisis in US?) I never thought this could be real. Though the company has not yet reach to that extent yet.

This is quoted from the newspaper:

"One of America’s most iconic names in print media is set to file for bankruptcy. According to The Wall Street Journal, Reader’s Digest has “reached an agreement with its lenders on a restructuring plan that it will likely complete under a prepackaged bankruptcy filing in order to reduce its debt.”
While the magazine still has one of the largest circulations in the US, it would appear that the same issues that have recently sunk other print publications – like Vibe and The Seattle Post-Intelligencer – are in play here, with ongoing attempts to improve revenue and cut costs ultimately not going far enough to save the company from bankruptcy.That said, for now, it appears that Reader’s Digest will survive, as the company says in a statement that it will “continue to operate normally throughout the restructuring process.” With an incredibly well-known brand, it’s unlikely the publication will disappear completely anytime soon, though, like other troubled print media, it may have to take on a much different, more digitally focused approach to survive in the long run."

Hopefully it won't go bankrupt after all it is one of my favorite magazine!!

Last Friday, I went to a trip organized by Christian Fellowship (CF) with my friends. The destination was UTAR college at Kampar. We departed to there at about 7.30 morning and reached there at about 9 morning. Firstly, we had a talk on 'Super Memory'. It was fun and nice. The talk was short but the lecturer gave us jokes and taught us many things. The we had another similar talk by another lecturer. By the time the talk ended, we had lunch at the college's canteen. The food there was nice, at least better than our school's food... After that, we were given the permission to see the exhibitions with our friends. I went around with another two of my friends, played a few games and watched the magic performance before departing to Ipoh.

At Ipoh, we were brought to Jaya Jusco to shop and have fun. Many of my male friends went to watch Transformer 2 while I went shopping with the girls and 2 other male friends. We went to MPH Bookstore first. I was hoping to buy Inheritance Cycle Book 3 "Brisingr" but the cashier said it was out of stock. Feeling disappointed, we went to Popular Bookstore instead. I was excited when I saw the book a just outside the shelf when I entered the bookstore. But the price was so expensive that it cost me RM76 just for that book! Then, we went for dinner at Pizza Hut. We had pizza and some of us had spagetti. We also went to shops to buy clothes which suddenly occured to us that we bought birthday presents for those who will have their birthday soon. I personally received one cloth as present from my friends as my birthday is coming in one month. The other two of my friends also got their present. Then we departed back to Tanjong Malim. We sang all the way back home. It was a nice trip indeed!

I also declared broke after spending about RM130 that day... >.< PS : I didn't have any camera... Picture adopted from internet or friends blog :D
