shop, shop!

Nada nak macam cop! cop! kan? haha

Well, it's been a long time that I've bought a novel.Last time it was Antara Safa dan Marwah during Ramadhan and sorry to say, it is not one of my fav.But do not fret, different people different thinking, different taste, different perception. So you guys might wanna try to read it too! :D

I'm a subscriber of the Jemari Seni Pubs.house emails so that I'll get informed on the new releases. All those novels are very enticing and I like the fact that I own the books despite my comments on the book after I read it. It is like a quest for me to own every each novel or interesting books. (hope I can afford it though). 

So I'm saying, recently I received an email announcing the new babies of JS and already I heard the sound of cash register, ka-ching!. Boy, how bad I wanna grab those books. The titles are:

~ how sweet can the title be? ~

~ try 2 catch a drama from your reading! ~

~ everybody loves crystal, don't we? ~

Hope to catch all the novels really soon! Maybe drop to the nearest Popular or just buy it online... We'll see... Besides, I really hope these stories are up to my liking. huhu 

A quote from Faisal Tehrani's blog. Read the full entry here.

"Sesungguhnya pembaca sastera kita sedang meratap dan sakit merana kerana karya yang terhidang buat mereka hanyalah sekadar air sejuk untuk melampias haus sementara. Tiada gizi dan daya ketahanan untuk melawan kejahatan virus dari luar. Dan lawan bagi ‘lemah dan malas berfikir’ itu tentunya quwwat al-ruh wa al-‘aql. Yakni, cabaran paling besar ialah cabaran dalaman untuk mempersiapkan diri sebagai seorang pemikir yang berani melawan al-irhab al-fikry atau keganasan pemikiran di mana hari ini kita dipaksa mengikut satu sahaja gaya atau aliran tajaan.

Maka, pengarang muda dan tua mesti menyedari kerja sastera bukanlah kerja bercerita. Kerja kita sebagai sasterawan adalah pertamanya, kerja sebagai pengawal masyarakat; keduanya, kerja menjadi tukang cakap aspirasi ummah; ketiganya kerja sebagai rujukan bangsa di saat mereka menghadapi persoalan yang menekan; keempatnya, kerja sebagai tali pengikat atau integrator supaya dapat membangunkan potensi masyarakat. Apakah ada kemungkinan untuk pengarang muda menjadi semua itu jika ia masih bergelut dengan cerita-cerita palsu, imaginasi yang merupakan perkara pinggiran, tetek-bengek tiada keyakinan, atau ketinggalan rasa motivasi untuk mengarang.

* Faisal Tehrani*

 

And as a  reader, I hope to enjoy the books as much as possible and try to understand what's the message the author try to convey... The arts of delivering is very important to me. There are some types of writing I really can't stand. So I stop from reading the books from that publishing house. (but often I'll read till the end, it's really rare I left the book halfway). This is just a thought that came through my mind and I just wanna share it with others. After all, we are what we read!

Domestic chores: man vs woman

Hye all. (To all guys esp. hubbies, brothers, sons, fiance`, etc.)

Someone had conjured the stupidest idea I've EVER encountered that domestic chores such as sweeping, mopping, wash dishes & clothes are woman's work. What the heck? Hello, news flash! This is not the era where women sit in the kitchen all day long,ok?

~ This could be you granny, your mom, your sis, your wife or maybe you, yourself. ~

It is like a taboo or even a curse if men do the house chores. How I hate to hear that " I don't want to clean the house, it's a woman's work." Even throwing out the garbage to the bin outside, an hour of speech and some threatening need to take place (don't forget all the moaning that happened while you took the garbage outside). haha What a rubbish. It's not like women ever signed a deal that the house chores belongs to them that no guy in earth should interfere.Can't you guys do something out of responsibilities? No need for others to move your butt around. And how can you enjoy the sports channel when the house is not at the best stake? Makes me wonder.

~ Somebody needs to be straightened up ~

Sometimes the women will said " it's okay, it's my job after all." or "It's fun doing the cleaning" or " Maybe he's just tired, next time he'll do it for sure." or many more excuses that pops in our mind. But, this situation will not last long. Women will start to get tired, agitated, and weary not only because the chores but the unwillingness of men to share the chores. My personal opinion, those chores aren't all bad if you do it together (despite all the dusts and sweats involved), am I right or am I correct?

~ Accidents? Nah, they just don't care. ~

 Come on man, lend your tough muscles, masculine body and vast energy on all those tiny little tasks. The worst thing that can occur is your house is clean and your loved ones are happy.All in all, what is it about man and house chores? haha

notabuku: the sweetest person can fall for the lamest person. oh, no! or oh, yes!

Hype!

Amat penat ye mengemas rumah... Nak- nak attic aku yang da bape taon tak dijajah manusia tuh... Korang kalau nak ngemas, keselamatan kena jaga jugak ok (tak semestinya main mercun je jasad jiwa bole terkorban taim2 raya ni tau... Contoh, taim cuci porch rumah guna sabun jalan slow- slow dan pastikan selipar tu sihat walafiat la kan.. Lagi, kalau nak cabut langsir dekat ngan kipas sila ya switch off dulu kipas atau electrical appliance korang... Tanak la tangan ke kepala korang terkorban.. Ni true story ye. Adik aku baru kena tadi, pastu dia hepi sebab tapayah buat kije (kne tgn kanan lak tu) and mak aku bagi arahan camni, " Da, pergi tdo." huk aloh! tak advencer dan berjiwa survival btol. Korang lak jangan nak wat dirty tricks camni nak escape buat house chores tau.. Semangat raya kena kuat! Ok, moral of the story, hati-hati dan jangan malas- malas!

Ops! Belum habis naaa.... Aku nak mintak idea korang yang bijaksana lagi berhikmah dan rajin membuat pahala ni..boleh? Aku tengah kering gile nak fikir tajuk speech untuk public speaking kelas oral aku.. So, if you guys have anything in mind, do pray to tell me! huhu The scope is anything under the sun. Sangat- sangat la tatau jugak nak watpe.. I really really really need your ideas! If you guys are willing to la kan.. If not, s'kay! huhu

Lastly, aku ingin mengucapkan Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri kepada semua muslimin dan muslimat yang menyambut... (coz i heard that some of the muslims aren't practicing Islam and don't care bout all these fuss, dunno whether it's true o not. ha!) Tak lupa ayat bese ini, Maaf Zahir dan Batin. May you guys have a blessed Eid with your loved ones! Toodles!
