The most happening event in town (AAM)!!
The greatest design and essay competition in town is coming to the end. The winners will be announced tonight at Sun Plaza atrium hall with tonnes of shows. It will be huge, great and crowded.I’m referring to AAM ( Aplaus Abdi MahaKarya) by Aplaus tabloid. A bit about Aplaus, it is a free lifestyle tabloid in the town, delivers in the readers hand on the saturday, once in two weeks time. When it comes, me and the colleagues will fight over it, see who get to read it first. Lol.
Anyway, AAM is the biggest design and competition in the town, I would say. This is their first time. It was said that there is 140 participants in the design competition with Medan-Kuliner town as the theme, and 58 participants in essay area.
Tonight there will be lots of shows from 6pm to 9pm at Sun Plaza, the most happening mall in the town. There will be singers from Jakarta; Gail ex ‘Yovie & The Nuno’ with Arie Dagienkz as the MC of the night and Ben Kasyafani as the VJ. Besides announcement of the winners, there will be fashion show by Sofyan Kwan, local designer, with the theme ‘Journey of Evolution’ and tarot reading.

One of the Pak Tuntung’s cartoon srips.
The shows doesn’t end tonight. For tomorrow, there will be Peppito Band, Fashion show ‘Street Glamour’, Street magic, etc. There will be live demonstration on Pak Tuntung character (the comic strip in Analisa Daily) too. Not only that, the comic strips in Aplaus will be exposed too. During that 2 days, there will be exhibitions, from Aplaus Showcase to Wall of Fame AAM, etc. Whoa!! It’s gonna be the most happening show and competition in the town. I plan to catch tomorrow show with the besties
Oh, today’s Aplaus is talking about awards and winning, with one of article - “Winning Advertising Awards: What’s it all really about?”. Text by Janet Lee and translated by Yenny, two wonderful women I ever know. 95%’s award winning students is in the article too, with the Crowbar 2007’s pictures.
Reading the article, I was brought back to the training room and travelled through time. Insight, target audience, strategies, ideas, I haven’t been dealing with them for such a long time. Sigh. I like advertising but I don’t like the having-no-time kind of life. =P
Then, the colleague asked me, he is always the one with so many questions in head -___- ,”if you were to choose between winning an award or having a smooth successfull business, which one will you choose?” Well, I think it depends on the field. If it’s advertising, I’ll choose award for it will bring fame and acknowledgement, successfull business will follow later on.
I’m really looking forward the shows. Weekend is more colourful this time




Wow…. u’re really a great fans of Aplaus, hah? Haha… Thanks Katie.
