No more MediaWorks?
so tired, realy u want to write, but have to cos it's an important news. So make it a quick one.
thais afternoon, was busy packing for the Maxim roadshow that i did not bothe to check my emails. until my colleague told me she saw quite the ppl at Mediawork at the carpark smoking, cos they might be quite stressed and this afternoon, news come out that Mediacorp and SPh's mediaworks merge. SPh only get to keep 20% share. Sounds like mediaoworks being bought over instead. And chances of Channel I continuing operation are rather slim.
Really shocking huh? No hints dropped b4.
We in magazines are not so affected, but like my colleague said, she feel so sad for the staff at mediaworks. After 4 years of hard work, there came this news that the two media companies merge back. All the efforts put in were wasted.
Quite a few ppl used to think that SPH will buy over Mediacorp, not this way of merging...

just some quote i found interesting from a fwd email :
"I've learned that the people you care most about in life are taken from you too soon and all the less important ones just never go away. And the real pains in the ass are permanent. "
