takde orang yg mati sbb banyak baca buku!

Haha. Ini adalah stok novel yang baru dibeli baru-baru ni selepas balik bercuti selama 3 minggu. Bekalan untuk dibaca sepanjang 2 bulan lebih tak balik semenanjung. Bagus jugak jadi cikgu ni, bila takda kelas je, aku boleh baca buku. Sememangnya hidup aku penuh dengan buku-buku. Tak akan pernah habis. Syukur Alhamdulillah, Allah kurniakan aku minat membaca tak kira apa bahan sekali pun. Paling-paling kurang pun aku akan baca eksiklopedia kat pusat sumber sekolah kalau takda buku cerita yang best. Jika tak pun, paling kurang wajib beli majalah dan surat khabar (Berita Harian semestinya!).

Kalau dibuat kira-kira, memang beratus-ratus aku habiskan dalam sebulan untuk beli bahan bacaan. Aku tak kisah itu semua. Kepuasan yg paling penting dan jugak ilmu yg bermanfaat. Kadang-kadang aku bawak novel ni bila masuk ke kelas. Anak-anak murid ramai juga yg bertanya. "Buku apa yang kamu baca tu cikgu?". "Best ke cerita tu cikgu?". Tak kurang juga yg bertanya macam ni, "Wahh.. Mahalnya buku cikgu beli. Kenapa cikgu beli juga?". "Cikgu paham ke baca Bahasa Inggeris?". "Kenapa cikgu suka baca buku yang tebal-tebal?". Hehehe.. Tak terlayan dengan soalan budak-budak ni. Harapan aku cuma satu je, semoga ia menjadi contoh yang baik kepada anak-anak murid aku. Mesej paling penting ialah tabiat membaca. Aku penah cakap kat diorg, "TAKDE ORANG YANG MATI SEBAB BANYAK BACA BUKU!". Orang yg malas membaca tu la yg rugi besar. Aku penah baca blog seseorang, dia citer pasal seorang tua di Perancis yang hidup biasa2 je, tak penah pun kuar dari tempat dia. Tapi bila penulis blog tu citer pasal Malaysia, dia tau macam-macam. Orang tua tu kata, "Aku mungkin takde duit nak melancong ke bermacam-macam tempat seperti kau, tapi aku masih mampu membeli buku-buku. Melalui buku-buku itulah aku melancong.". See! Orang yg banyak tengok tv pun blom tentu tau kat mana letaknya Malaysia.

Sekarang aku sedang baca 'The Last Song' oleh Nicholas Sparks. Hampir nak habis dah pun.. Nanti bila habis aku akan update pasal citer ni. Boleh je aku Google pasal buku ni, tapi taknak la, aku nak rasa sendiri sampai meleleh air mata. Citer ni sedih... Huhuhu...



p/s: Zaman universiti aku dulu, duit JPA banyak jugak abis ke majalah-majalah hiburan luar negara seperti Smash Hits, Top Of The Pop, MAX, Lime etc.. Betapa gila nyer aku waktu tu.. Huhu..

finally done with Twenties Girl

Finally, I have finished reading this book yesterday. Hahaha. I bought the book last year, but I started to read it on March this year after a novel by Cecilia Ahern. What took me so long? Hehe. Because I only read it when I was free in school. Little by little... and done! Great story! Worth my RM 79.90.

What this book is about? It is about a twenty-something girl Lara Lington who gets visited by a spirit of her great-aunt Sadie. The spirit came into her life when she was attending the funeral of her 105 years old great-aunt. Her great-aunt Sadie has one last request before she can proceed to another world - Lara must find her missing necklace. The necklace is very special to Sadie because it had been in Sadie possession for more than seventy-five years. The journey of Lara and Sadie make a hilarious sparring duo as the mission to find the necklace leads Lara to a new romance. At the beginning, Lara hates to have Sadie in her life. Imagine that other people perspectives when they saw you talking to the air. Haha. That's happened to Lara. But as everything goes day by day, Lara gets along really well with Sadie and Sadie helped her a lot with her company, and made Lara dumped her stupid ex-boyfriend, Josh. At the end, Lara found out the person who was responsible to the lost of Sadie's necklace and sold the old painting of Sadie to the London Potraits Gallery that worth millions nowdays. Another great storyline by Sophie Kinsella.

p/s: I dropped a couple of tears when Lara was about to put the necklace back to her great-aunt Sadie's remains. Powerful bonds of friendship between both of them eventhough they are "twenties" girl came from different set of time.. (melelah air mata kat bilik guru dan kelas. sedih mengenangkan perpisahan mereka. hehe..)
