i shouldn't do this..

2013-06-02T18:53:00.001+08:00

this is the second entry for today.

just finished inferno and about to start 'and the mountain echoed'.

i shouldn't do this. before these two books arrived i have more than 10 books to read. but because i like the two writer, i read theirs first..hehehe.

maybe because i already read their book before and i've been waiting for their new books.

do you readers have this kind of habit? we should have systematic reading habit right? we should read the book we bought first and then the next.

but as a human being you do have something that you favour most. when you like something the most, you will make it priority. same goes to me. i like this two authors and of course i will read theirs first even though i bought it later than the more-than-10-books. hehehe.

no matter what your reading style, just keep reading. :)

inferno - dan brown

2013-06-02T18:22:00.004+08:00

what would u do when you know there is virus spread in our environment? what if you know that the virus is created to make people infertile to control world's human population?

terrified isn't it?

this time, dan brown brings his reader to work together with robert langdon once again in his new novel "Inferno"

inferno means 1) a large fire that is dangerously out of control and 2) hell ( with reference to Dante's Divine Comedy)

in this piece it means the latter.

it started with robert langdon woke up in Florence, Italy. he had amnesia and he didn't remember a thing. someone had shoot him in the head.

then he start running from florence to venice and to istanbul.

this time symbology professor of harvard university is in the mission to find virus created by a germ engineer whose worried about the exponential growth of world's population. with Dante's Divine Comedy as a clue, Langdon accompanied by Dr. Sienna Brookes tried to solve the problem.

i'm not going to tell all their journey and what happen next. you should read it and experience it.

this time i found this 463 pages novel better than the lost symbol. until the end of the book it makes me thinking what would happen if this kind scenario is really happen? will the population accelerate at the safe rate? how will world reacts if this is real? what will religions say about this?

too many questions to answer if this is happen.

okay stop thinking about that. i think this book is good. go and read it. i like this kind of book. i will search whatever new thing i found in this book. i never been to florence,venice and istanbul so every place they've been, every new word is a new knowledge for me.

and the most important thing is, the main idea of the story.

there is one phrase that caught my attention.

"the darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis"

bad habits?

hello readers,

how are you all today? feel good, fell bad?

okay let's start...today i had a conversation with my colleague. it started when i told them about dan brown and khaled hosseini. i told them about a few incidents related to book s i bought especially the one that i really really wanted.

this happened when i finished my secondary school. november is my birthday month and i use it as a reason for me to buy this new book by sidney sheldon. at that time i really like to read sidney sheldon's pieces. in our house we didn't celebrate any birthday and of course there were no birthday presents.but that year, i asked my father could i get something for my birthday. and he asked me what i want. i told him i want sidney sheldon book. so my father asked me the price. i said around MYR ?? ( i don't remember the price). and later he gave me MYR50 and i was one happy birthday girl. thanks ayah...sadly i don't remember the title of the book. :-(

when i was in my first year at uni, i always went to the clinic where my uncle worked. i called him and later he will fetch me. i'm not familiar with KL area so i depended on him. as usual when we went to mall, bookstore is a must.

one day, i asked him "cikli, could you buy me this book? new book by sidney sheldon (again)". he asked me what was the price? i told him that usually i bought it around MYR30. oh okay he said.

actually the book i wanted was the new title and the size is bigger than the usual paperback. i just didn't tell him the actual price. hehehe..so a few weeks later i went to the clinic and he gave me the plastic that contain the book i wanted and he just said "tipu ye" with a smile on his face. that means i lie to him about the price of the book. hehehe...mission accomplished. and i got 'the best laid plan' in my collection. sorry cikli and thanks ;-)

still, cikli as a 'victim' but this time it was my birthday. (see i always use birthday as a reason to get something). hahaha...this time i got LOTR's gift box that contains LOTR trilogy and the hobbit. before that i already had fellowship and two tower. those two i gave to my sister as i got the complete set. until today i still didn't finish the hobbits. hehehe...

this incident was related to magic. wow!! really??..yes of course...the day when people crazy about harry potter and hogwarts. and i was one of them. this happened when the sixth instalment of harry potter series was out (half-blood prince). i pre-ordered the book at kinokuniya klcc. for that particular day there was an event took place as early as 7.01am. my friend volunteered to drive me to klcc. so we went there at 6 am and there was already people waiting. the first 100 customer will get a wand and a few other things and of course the book. and i was one of the first 100. *smile happily* unfortunately i lost my wand two years later. :-(

those are sweet memories. to be the first to read, to get the first edition, what to buy next to complete the collection and other craziness are sometimes make me smile. i just don't believe i could do that. but somehow i know i did that to make my reading experience beautiful and fun.

assalamualaikum and hi...

it's been a while from the last update. i've been busy with a few normal things. work, study and fieldwork. i went to miri and bintulu for my MSc filedwork. okay enough of those things. let's just focus on what we should focus on..aite... :)

i bought a few books recently. 6 novels and 1 book on compilation of writing by a columnist. those novels are, new book by j.k rowling, casual vacancy, 1 is a bestselling novel the 100-year-old man who climbed out the window and disappeared by jonas jonasson, 3 book is a millenium trilogy by stieg larsson ( i bet you all know what it is), 1 book by haruki murakami (birthday stories) and last but not least is abiding times by tunku zain al'abidin muhriz.

okay those are the pictures. we should have pictures to decorate the post. ;)

right now, i'm reading casual vacancy first. maybe i'm a bit biased here. well, we all know who j.k rowling is. so i started with her book first. her book this time is different from harry potter series. this time, she wrote for adult reader. no more magic, no more spell, no more wizard school and no more lord voldermort. so that is another reason why i choose to read hers first. i'm not going to compare casual vacancy with her previous writing because those are different genre altogeteher. all i want to do is read.

the second book the 100-year-old-man who climbed out the window and dissappeared. i bought this book because of it was in top ten bestselling rack at the bookstore. biased again... :p

i read reviews on the millenium trilogy and all the the reviews gave 4 out 5 star for this trilogy. maybe i'm a bit late to know about this, but it is not too late to read those.

haruki murakami, i have no idea who he was. all i know is, his new book 1Q84 is everywhere. and i heard a conversation about this one girl has almost all of his pieces. so i just started with the compilation of thirteen short stories.

i have no reason why i bought abiding times. but i know i have to buy it. next time i will buy abiding times 2. for your information, tunku zain is a second son to Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan.

i think that's all for now. oh by the way, i finished 4 out of 6 laksamana sunan series. i skip book number four and finished number 5, number 6 not yet start. too many to read....

and i just remember that khaled hosseini (the kite runner, a thousand splendid suns) will be on a shelf this coming may. can't wait.

Ramlee Awang Murshid

2013-02-09T22:32:00.000+08:00

Assalamualaikum...

Hari ni malam tahun baru cina di Malaysia...dan juga di seluruh dunia.. Selamat tahun baru kepada semua masyarakat Cina yang menyambutnya. Semoga anda semua bergembira di tahun baru ini.

Saya seperti biasa cuba menghabiskan buku-buku yang ada. Sekarang sedang membaca buku ketiga dari enam buah buku berkenaan Laksamana Sunan hasil tulisan Ramlee Awang Murshid. Buku pertama bagaikan puteri, buku kedua cinta sang ratu dan ketiga hijab sang pencinta (saya sedang membaca buku ketiga ini). Seterusnya cinta sufi, sutera bidadari dan yang terakhir sunan musafir. Watak utama Laksamana Sunan yang digambarkan sebagai seorang yang tinggi ilmunya, warak orangnya serta sangat sabar dan tenang dalam menghadapi segala rintangan.

Saya masih tiada lagi dua bukunya iaitu cinta sufi dan sutera bidadari. Akan dicari nanti. Sebenarnya saya mula membaca nukilan Ramlee Awang Murshid (RAM) ni sejak tombirou lagi. tapi saya tidak membelinya sekadar meminjam dari kawan. Pada saya karyanya juga lain dari yang lain. Bukan sekadar novel stereotaip yang jalan ceritanya sama sahaja. Tapi jujur saya katakan saya tak pernah membeli hatta satu pun karya RAM ini. Cuma terdetik hendak membeli baru-baru ini saja. Saya ingin membelinya ketika membelek-belek buku karya beliau yang paling baru aku bercerita. Tapi disebabkan teringat saya pernah mencuri-curi baca buku laksamana sunan (tidak ingat yang mana), saya lalu membeli empat buah sekaligus. Cuma dua lagi yang perlu dicari.

Saya juga pernah membaca cintaku di harajuku dan 9 nyawa. Mungkin ada yang lain pernah saya baca tapi tak ingat tajuknya. Oh saya juga membeli fiksyen 302.

Pada saya RAM ini banyak ideanya. Setiap satu bukunya mempunyai keistimewaan yang dan jalan cerita yang tersendiri termasuk juga heksalogi (terpaksa pinjam perkataan hexalogy) Laksamana Sunan ini. Setiap satu siri menunjukkan kesukaran beliau yang barlainan tapi berhubung kait.

Saya amat cemburu sebenarnya dengan penulis novel secara amnya kerana bagaimana mereka mempunyai idea yang banyak untuk mengahsilkan sebuah novel terutama novel yang bersambungan. Saya harap saya mempunyai idea yang sebegitu. Bagaimana mereka mengembangkan watak-watak di dalamnya dan menyambungkan plot yang ada supaya menjadi menarik dan membuatkan pembaca semua ternanti-nanti buku berikutnya. Saya pernah mengalami fenomena yang sama ketika membaca kesemua buku harry potter karya J.K Rowling.

Kembali kepada tajuk utama entri ini, saya tidak akan berlaku adil untuk memilih buku mana yang paling bagus kerana saya tidak membaca semua karya beliau. Setakat ini saya paling suka membaca aku bercerita. Mungkin kerana buku itu mempunyai lima buah cerita pendek yang amat menarik untuk dibaca. Yang paling saya suka baca ialah cinta matiku. selain itu terdapat cerita bunian, culik, kancil dan cut.

Mungkin akan datang mungkin saya akan tuliskan entri saya berkenaan buku-buku RAM yang saya sudah baca. Tapi semuanya bergantung kepada tahap kerajinan. :)

Saya ingin menyambung pembacaan saya. Untuk anda teruskan membaca.

Sebagai manusia, kita sayang padamu - Laksamana Sunan

Assalamualaikum,

I know i'm not a good blogger :( ...not much of update rite?

Last December, i went to BBW book fair (big bad wolf) at Mines. Not much i bought. mostly books that already turned into movie like atonement, time traveller's wife, the reader. two books by tasmina perry ( kiss heaven goodbye and private lives) , which i have almost of her books, and two books by naguib mahfouz "the cairo trilogy" which i only got two (sugar street and palace walk, must find the last one, palace of desire). i think i have a few more but i don't remember the title.

This time, i didn't spend much on books. not like last year, i spent almost like RM300 ++ on books, went there like 5 or 6 times but finally, the books are inside the box unread or read half-way...my bad. so this year i bought a few but i promised to read it all. insyaAllah. i already finish one book, kiss heaven goodbye by tasmina perry and in the middle of finishing the second one, private lives.

BUT, i have a little distraction, (i easily distracted). Currently, i read "aku bercerita by ramlee awang murshid". i'm on page 377 out of 601, which i think i will finish this book first rather than private lives. before this i already read "fiksyen 302" by the same author. so i already read 2 books by ramlee awang murshid in the middle of reading private lives. huh!! and the worse thing is, i bought another 4 books by ramlee awang murshid...i sometimes feel like i wasted too much on books that i don't know i could read it all. but to ease my guilty, i said to myself, i will read it when i have nothing to do in future..hahaha..maybe i could cut my time from spend too much on internet (facebook, forums etc,etc) and spend on reading instead. oh that include reading for my master degree too.

so i must read, read and read. i remember when i was in primary and secondary schooll, i just like to read, maybe because there were not too much distractions like i have now. back to primary school, i always went to the school's library to borrow books. mostly novels. i could finish a book in two days. let say i borrowed on monday, on wednesday i will return and borrow another. same habits when i was in secondary school.

but now, i'm a slow reader. maybe because of work, study and other distraction. spend too much in traffic also one of the factors...hahaha..why? if u using public transport maybe u could read while waiting. right?

anyway, we should not blame technology 100%. the technology we have now, can be use to expand our reading horizon. e-book, iPad, tablets and other online website on reading is very useful. one of the website www.goodreads.com is among the good one. we could read online, give a review, change opinions, show a progress on what we read etc,etc.

the website was introduced by my sister. at first, i gave not so much thought about that. but after i downloaded it in my ipad, i just know how useful the application is. another application that i found very useful is iBooks. all the material in pdf format can be open in ipad. so i can carry ipad and i can read it everywhere. even if there is no connection to the internet. my ipad is wifi only, so if there is no connection i could only read what inside it. i intentionally buy ipad without 3G, so that i will not spend much time on internet. i could read instead...hahaha...

february 2013 is tomorrow...time fly, very fast. i hope i could finish all the books i bought, and buy another and maybe later, i could share with you...insyaAllah.

till then, happy reading people. :-)

New Year 2013

2013-01-01T14:00:00.000+08:00

Assalamualaikum semua,

Happy new year 2013.

i start the day with subuh prayer…alhamdulillah. well we in 2013 now. another day gone a new year come. hopefully we're under His bless. All the best to you all.

Anyway, my exam is just around the corner. on the 10th January to exact. Just one subject and after that another fieldtrip to Sarawak.

It's been a year now. The last entry is on October last year. Well blame it on the laziness of mine. hehehe…

Well, after subuh prayer i sambaing tido. What? I'm sleepy so just sleep right… keep remind myself that exam is in 9 days time with plenty to revise..*sigh..

Anyway, I don't want to keep bragging about my exam. I just want to write about what i just watched just now on telly. HAPPY FEET. yea, the happy dancing penguin that cannot sing. i bet you all know that. happy feet is cartoon by the way. But i love cartoon. especially the happy one… :D

I first watched this cartoon in 2006. Mumble was an emperor penguin. he can't sing but he like to dance. that makes he different from the rest. Because he is different, so he just find his own happiness. He likes to dance and he met a group of adelie penguin that take him as he is. They have a good time together.

Mereka menghadapi masalah makanan. Noah, the elder of the emperor penguin asked them to keep on waiting. By singing, maybe somekind of pray for them, and for them Mumble was no good for them and a burden for them. Tapi Mumble has different idea. Dia tau yang masalah makanan yang dihadapi disebabkan oleh manusia yang menjalankan large scale fishing yang memutuskan rantaian makanan penguin tersebut.

He determined to prove them that there is reason why there was little fish for them. While trying to follow the fishermen, Mumble finally found himself in another place far from home.

Dah nama pun kartun, so what do we expect. Takde logic di dalam kartun. But that is not what i want to emphasize. It just that, di mana ada keazaman di situ ada jalan. Berbeza dari yang lain tak bermakna kita take berguna. Kadang-kadang dengan perbezaan kita boleh lakukan perubahan. Well that was what Mumble did. He just did what he likes, back to his home, some researcher came to their habitat, record what they saw, and boom, they became a highlight. The world argues whether they should stop large scale fishing activities or shouldn't.

At the end, they survived. Happily singing and dancing.

The message, don't worry about your disadvantage or if you are different. Act wisely. Prove that you are also worth something. the most important, try harder to achieve what is good for you and the people around you.

Think i better start study…exam! Gambate….

Oh Happy Feet has its sequel...Happy Feet 2.

schiffer diamond is an actress that married twice. after failed for the second marriage she came back to the fifth avenue.

philip and schiffer were a couple when they at their 20s but there were something between them that make them not to be together.

mindy and james gooch are married that lived at the lower level at the building. together with them was their son, sam.

mindy is an executive at a company while james is on his second book.

the newcomer was a rices. annalisa was a former lawyer in washington and her husband was an analyst. paul managed to get millions of dollar that makes them affordable to buy the triplex. they got the unit after mrs louise houghton died in a storm.

ketupat cinta (musim pertama) - faisal tehrani

2011-01-21T23:53:00.002+08:00

salam,

ini buku kedua faisal tehrani yang saya beli selepas advencer si peniup ney ( tak tau mana hilangnya buku ni)

buku ni dibeli bersama tunggu teduh dulu juga dari faisal tehrani

yang menariknya tentang buku ni ialah bahasa yang digunakan. bahasa istana zaman dahulu kala...dan sesiapa yang membaca buku jangan risau sebab disertakan sekali glosari di bahagian belakang buku ni...

watak utama ialah tun lepat. beliau ditangkap atas tuduhan meracun raja melaka ketika itu, iaitu sultan alaudin riayat shah. tun lepat ini pula ialah gerau atau tukang masak istana.

sepanjang membaca buku ini, tun lepat yang ketika di dalam penjara menceritakan tentang pakciknya, hang musa al-kadzim yang juga gerau tetapi di zaman parameswara. kiranya penceritaan semula atau flashback.

bila watak utamanya seorang gerau, maka kita topiknya sudah tentu makan dan makanan. maka kesemua bab di dalam novel ini bertemakan makan. mungkin sapa yang nak memasak mungkin boleh dapatkan resipi dari buku ini. tata tertib ketika memasak dan makan juga diceritakan di dalam novel ini. sebagai seorang muslim, boleh lah kita ambil mana yang baik untuk digunakan ketika masak dan makan. akan jadi darah daging jua makanan itu.

di istana, walaupun hanya di dalam dapur masih juga terdapat 'politik dapur'. dari dapur membawa ke balai penghadapan. jadi dalam novel ini 'politik dapur' juga memberi kesan kepada pentadbiran negeri.

walaubagaimanapun, novel ini mungkin akan ada sambungannya. mungkin sebab itu diletakkan tajuknya sebegitu rupa. ketupat cinta (musim pertama). musim kedua nanti mungkin akan dihikayatkan pula tentang tun lepat yang dipenjarakan dan persoalan kenapa tun lepat ditangkan akan terurai..

jika telah terbiasa dengan karya faisal tehrani, kita akan tahu bagaimana cara penceritaannya...banyak yang tersirat di dalam karyanya...

jadi makan untuk hidup atau hidup untuk makan...tepuk dada tanya selera...

change of plan

2011-01-21T23:06:00.003+08:00

salam,

lama dah tak update blog ni...dekat setahun jugak la...sangat sibuk dengan kerja tambahan lagi takde buku yang nak dibaca.

cuma sejak akhir-akhir ni ada la dua tiga buah buku yang berjaya dibaca...akan cuba di siarkan di sini nanti...InsyaAllah..

tapi itu bukan tujuan utama entry ni ditulis...tujuan utama cuma nak memberitahu yang mungkin akan terdapat sedikit perubahan dalam blog ni...

blog ini akan fokus kepada satu aspek sahaja...iaitu buku atau majalah atau apa saja artikel yang menarik yang dibaca...jadi tidak akan ada lagi filem yang ditonton atau perlawanan bolasepak yang disaksikan...tapi kalau ada filem atau perlawanan bolasepak yang menarik mungkin akan ditulis juga.

ini semua idea adik saya...katanya fokuskan kepada satu aspek saja yang dirasakan sangat bagus untuk saya...jadi saya memilih buku...kenapa? hmmm...mungkin saya sangat sukakan buku dan apa saja bahan bacaan yang boleh dibaca...

alice's adventure in wonderland- lewis carroll

i google this title today and i came across a site that gave a free e-book so i download it. it just 130 pages. i was just curious what is so interesting about the story that makes tim burton adapt it to a movie.

now that i finished reading it, i found out that almost the entire movie was not as the same as the story itself. some of the characters are there, but the story line is almost totally different.

after reading and watching, i like the movie most. why? hmm…could i say that the movie has its own point. well, alice fall down the hole with a purpose…to save the wonderland from the red queen. in the book it just alice's adventure..having encounter with different 'creatures'.

but the story has it own interesting part. for those like to learn new words and words that we not familiar with, then this is the books. some of the words make you read twice to understand that phrase. and how he beautifully play with words.

the follow is part of the conversation between alice, the mock turtle and gryphon-

’And how many hours a day did you do lessons?’ said Alice, in a hurry to change the subject.

’Ten hours the first day,’ said the Mock Turtle: ‘nine the next, and so on.’

’What a curious plan!’ exclaimed Alice.

’That’s the reason they’re called lessons,’ the Gryphon remarked: ‘because they lessen from day to day.’

so why not, find this book or just download it and try to read it. happy reading.

alice in 3D

2010-03-07T12:19:00.003+08:00

last friday night i went to watch alice in 3D...went there with my friend...the actual plan was GSC pavilion...but because of the jam after the SMART, my friend divert her route to BTS...park the car, went to the counter...but full house...try to get the uncollected reserved ticket...no luck...so we bought solomon kane instead...

but my friend quite 'degil' so after our dinner...she tried to queue once again to get the uncollected ticket for 2220hrs show...this time luck on our side...so goodbye solomon kane and hello alice....

the movie: to those who read the book can make a comparison...but to me...it's quite a movie...i like helena bonham carter - the red queen the most....memang sesuai sangat....

mad hatter: JD is good...as always...i read something in today's paper, he said even he was given the alice character, he will take it because of tim burton....but mad hatter is suit him well...

alice: hmm...can't say much....

the white queen: not to my expectation....

why is the red army is deck card and the white army is chess pieces..and the battle between two was on the square-checkered board look alike....

actually i don't like alice back in my zaman kanak-kanak...the reason- i can't imagine how that little girl can survived is such adventure...i'm afraid that she cannot come back to her family...hahaha...kelakar bila ingat balik...

february's movie

2010-03-07T12:12:00.005+08:00

so far i watched 4 movies in February. tooth fairy, percy jackson and the lightning thief, the wolfman and the book of eli. maybe next is from paris with love.

TOOTH FAIRY

dwayne The Rock Johnson starring in this comedy as an ice hockey player who nickname tooth fairy. he has a girlfriend who has 2 children. he is someone that not believe in miracle. one night he got a summon from a fairyland because of not believe in tooth fairy. to pay for that he has to be a tooth fairy. so later we can see how he manage to be a tooth fairy and an ice hockey player.

the conclusion sometimes we has to believe in miracle, don't make fun with other people hope and ambition. just encourage them and try to help them to achieve their dream. sound stereotype right but, well we live with that.

PERCY JACKSON AND THE LIGHTNING THEIF.

an adaptation from percy jackson and the olympians young adult series. the first from 5 series, we mingle with the roman gods. zeus, poseidon, medusa, etc…etc…etc

percy is a demigod and his father is poseidon. someone accused him for stole zeus' lightning. together with his friend grover a satyr and daughter of athena, they try to find hades, who captured his mother. to know who stole the lightning go and watch this movie. it's a straight forward movie actually and i think you can guess who is the thief.

from 5 star i give 3. there will be a sequel in 2011.

THE WOLFMAN

benicio del toro, anthony hopkins and emily blunt in this classic movie…oh hugo weaving too.

werewolf is in town. beware of the full moon…prepared yourself with silver bullet. hahaha…. but maybe if u like or love a werewolf maybe it can spare u your life. but whose going to kill next werewolf? so i think we must use the unused silver bullet….

BOOK OF ELI

denzel washington, gary olden and mila kunis ( is she new in hollywood coz never heard of her before)…

background: somewhere on earth but there was no more civilization…where water is more precious than anything. where there are a few know how to write and read, where people is simply killing others…where the weather is very hot that all must wear sunnies…(like solara's aviator)

mission: to send a book to the west

subject: a man called eli…

conclusion: my friend asked me something: why hollywood can make this kind of movie while we cannot? suddenly i remember the first surah of al-Quran

football,football,football…

2010-02-26T11:19:00.003+08:00

why is football is the most favorite sport in this planet? if i have to answer this question, i admit that i don't have any specific answer. even if u ask around i guarantee there is, u will get the same. i also don't have any idea why i like to watch this sport. the only male in family is my father. i have only sisters no brothers….but maybe because the influence is very strong there, so i like to watch the match. i remember my father watched 1986 world cup final….i was 9 back then. maybe that was when i like football.

this year we will watch the 2010 edition of world cup…so to football fan are u all ready to burn some of your sleeping time just to support your favorite team..well i would say yes…so have a good sleep now so that in june we don't have to sleep….hehehehe…how about that?

what's your favorite team then? for me, there are a few. i would say german, italy, spain, and holland…oh portugal too. and team from this continent i pick japan. from south america maybe brazil, argentina….anyway which team u support, just save that till june....

enough bout WC 2010....let's talk about normal football league. the talk of the town league, of course...BPL,la liga etc...etc...etc...

i would like to say that i'm a Manchester United fan. not an avid fan though...when there was time, i'll try to watch the match... the last game i watched was the game where MU was beaten by everton 3-1 at goodison park....disappointed with that game actually.....

well, that was why we call it 'match'...there are only win,lose or draw...

this coming sunday, wembley stadium will be the venue for Carling Cup final between MU and aston villa...so to football fan, it is a date....late night date as the kick-off only start at 1500hrs GMT or about 2300 hrs local time....arghhh!!!!

secondhand book - the three musketeers

2010-02-26T11:13:00.004+08:00

i bought this book while wandering in a secondhand store here in bangi. i paid RM5 for this book, and it is still in good quality. the reason why i bought this book - i watched slumdog millionaire and the final question is related to this book. so maybe i'll give it a try to read classic…so far i found the language is easy to understand. not very 'literature'.

speaking of literature, there were books that was hard for me to understand. but because i wanted to know what's next, with a dictionary beside i managed to finish the trilogy of 'the lords of the ring' which includes the lords of the rings, the two towers and the return of the kings.

my uncle gave me a set of the trilogy and the hobbit. but until now i didn't finish the hobbit…hehehe…maybe someday…i promise myself.

more about LOTR later…

The Lost Symbol

2010-02-22T20:10:00.013+08:00

i choose this book because this is the latest book i finished reading it.

i bought this book on 14 december 2009 ..actually i want to wait for the paperback version, but borders gave 20% discount for this hardcover version when you buy another book. without second thought i bought this book together with eclipse ( the 3rd series of twilight)

lost symbol is 3rd 'adventure' of dr. robert langdon after the da vinci code and angel and demon. the background took place in washington dc when he got an invitation from a friend, peter solomon to give a lecture at US capitol building. when he arrived, not only he found out that there was no such event but also he once again start his 'journey' as a fugitive. this time from CIA.

as his previous books, code, symbols, history is the main subject here. this time about the secret world of Masonic and Ancient Mystery. Peter Solomon is actually one of the Masons that has been kidnapped. and his right hand was found in the building. together with peter solomon's sister,Katherine, they try to find peter. the only clues are peter's hand, and the small pyramid.

from US capitol to smithsonian museum to House of temple. we will wander around washington in this book. it is like i want to go to these places and 'feel' the 'journey' myself. the same feeling when i read the other two books. hehehe…even though the plot is predictable i recommend this book.

the other reason why i like this book, simply because of the philosophy behind this book. knowledge and learning. learning is essential to every man so that we gain knowledge.

to live in the world without becoming aware of the meaning of the world is like wandering about in a great library without touching the books. - the lost symbol.
