Interview with the Editor of Cleo Magazine, Lynette Ow

Hell....today we have to go through almost 2 hours of journey to get to where? Uptown..smart of us..to get lost everywhere...thats where it takes our time. Lucky we started otu journey early and got there before its too late...at Uptown 2 building...Level 8..that's where ACP media...home of CLEO magazine...and guess what..we were so anxious..so many butterflies in my stomach at that moment. It was like crazy before i got up there. And yet we have to interview the editor...thats so cool....but yet so terrifying. And there we were...the secretary looked at us one kind as if we were in the wrong place and as if she's saying..what kind of big deal these "kids" have with the editor.

And so there we were ( Me, Evon, Devon and Eeling) in a small room in the office to interview miss Lynette Ow. And there she was, looking pale with her scarf and messy hair look. She doesn't seem to be in a good mood and she told us that she only had 30 minutes with us. We got her attention and she shaked hand with us and we introduced ourselves. I started off by asking her the first qeustions. And guess wht she said, she said she don't get what i mean. So, intelligently, i have to explain to her. And it went on and on and on. She even said some of our questions are too ambiguos. Aiyo...what to do...it;s for our research. WEll, for us..she said something that ticks our brain to think. I asked her that if magazine influenced the women in spending their money on expensive items. And she answered that Malaysian women are smarter than we thought. We don't buy just everything that they recommended but we pick and choose the suitable items that we want to buy instead of buying them all. Well, i guess that right eh? Malaysian women like US are smart. Hahaha...no...seriously..its true.

But what we 4 agree upon after the interview is that, she is only giving us all the positive feedback of CLEO magazine. I mean it's right for her to defend whatever questions that we might asked that may cause a bad impressions on her magazine. But by her doing that, it kills our research. We can get nothing from her. Instead, what she said we can do it ourselves. Seriously. But she's just being a bit bitchy. That's what the entertainment people always do anyway.

Well, after we finishes our questions. She asked us some questions too. Asked us what magazine we normally read. So, i and Evon said CLEO. So, she asked us opinion of the magazine. And deliberately, we gave her positive comment on it too as not to offend her. Haha....but seriously, i love CLEO because of their articles and their Q&A sex...haha..really curious to know that people actually did all that. Well, you gotta read to know what i mean. It's better to chat with her normally than interviewing her. Cos when she stopped talking, i have to ease the uneasiness by quickly asking another questions. Damn. It was terrifying and i have to smile always. Hmmm...thats what u gotta do when u need their help.

Anyway, it's a good experience not to be forgotten. I'm so flattered to see her as i think being a magazine editor is so cool yet tiring job. But really really am happy to get this experience. Thanx miss Lean for forcing us to do this research...hahaha...just joking...it's only half true...it's also a challenge for us as we have not gone through this before. Great great day...but a tired tired day too...for all of us. GOtta do a better job next time...aiya...sayonara....live CLEO....the magazine...
