Melly Goeslaw Gives Support to Jes Tanjung who Just Released the Book 'Sugar Mommy'

Kapanlagi.com - Socialite's dream Jes Tanjung finally came true. After going through a fairly long process, Jes Tanjung finally released a book titled Sugar Mommy. This book contains inspirational stories from various sources, especially mothers who are happy because they have successfully overcome their problems.

"I am very, very happy because one of my dreams of writing a book has been fulfilled, Alhamdulillah thank God," said Jes Tanjung at Veranda Hotel, South Jakarta, on Wednesday (29/9/2021).

What makes Jes Tanjung even more proud is that the book Sugar Mommy was praised directly by senior writer Taufiq Ismail. Incidentally, Taufiq Ismail was also present at the launch of the Sugar Mommy book. He said that Jes Tanjung provides interesting writing with words that are easily understood by readers.

"Jes, as a new writer, is very talented and able to easily lead readers to understand and comprehend what is presented in her work. All the life experiences of women written by Jes are very inspiring and easy to understand," said Taufiq Ismail.

In addition to close friends, Jes Tanjung also presents an inspirational story from the late Elly Kasim in the book Sugar Mommy. It is known that the legendary Minang singer passed away on August 25, 2021.

Before her death, Jes Tanjung had the opportunity to listen to the life story of the 75-year-old singer. From the many people interviewed by Jes Tanjung, Elly Kasim became the most impressive speaker.

"If it's about being impressive, they all are impressive. Every speaker has an extraordinary story and inspiration. There is a deep impression within Jes, especially when Jes had the opportunity to meet the late Elly Kasim," he said.

Not only providing inspirational stories, Elly Kasim also supported Jes Tanjung wholeheartedly while working on the book Sugar Mommy. Jes Tanjung still remembers clearly the words of Elly Kasim on Thursday that never made her give up.

"At that time, her support for Jes was extraordinary. Jes remembers from her, let life flow, stay optimistic, optimistic, optimistic. When remembering those words, it also becomes motivation for Jes. If I feel lazy or anything, I remember her words to stay motivated, optimistic," he said.

Not only Elly Kasim, singer Melly Goeslaw also provides inspirational stories in the book Sugar Mommy. As a source who is also a friend of Jes Tanjung, Melly Goeslaw feels happy that her friend has finally released her latest work in the form of a book.

"The book is finally finished, even though it was pending for a while, Alhamdulillah. When Jes mentioned about making a book, I was very happy to see someone creating a work. So I waited. During our first conversation, it was just casual talk, then there were second and third meetings. It turns out that Umi Jes is serious, so I decided to help," said Melly Goeslaw.

"In terms of writing, I am still a beginner. But in terms of diction and rules, I cannot give an idea to Umi Jes. I gave input that this book is beneficial and the readers can relate to it," continued Melly.

As a form of gratitude for the presence of this Sugar Mommy book, Jes Tanjung will donate 100 percent of the book sales proceeds to be used for social activities. Indirectly, every person who buys the Sugar Mommy book is also providing assistance to those in need.

"Happiness requires a process, it requires struggle, happiness does not come to us suddenly. If we want to be happy, then we have to make a choice. My choice at that time was whether I would finish the book or watch a Korean drama in my room, and not produce anything," concluded Jes Tanjung.
