Disebabkan lagu yang terngiang-ngiang di kepala ku

Salam Saturday Nite Peeps,

For the passed few days I have been humming this familiar song but I could not remember the title. Cuba ingat bny kali, cuba google with limited lyrics, tak berhasil juga. Balik rumah bonda, ku geledah almari buku bonda, carik buku electone lame. Kalau tak kerana nak carik juga tajuk lagu tu, takdenya tengah-tengah malam nak bukak almari yang dah berhabuk tu. Nasib baik tak keluar lipas...huhuhu

Rasa dah bertahun tak tengok buku nie, semenjak dah kahwin. Organ pun dah lame terkubur, mati dek di makan anai-anai. Masa tu tak ambil tahu pun mana ayahanda simpan buku muzik. Tapi dah kerana lagu nie dok terngiang-ngiang...arrghhhh ku cari juga di malam purnama penuh nie. Lunatik ke?!

Tapi... tak berhasil juga...adoiiii.... camne nie.... ada lagi 3 buku missing...kat mana nak carik lagi? Rasa tak simpan kat rumah.....

Masa belek2 buku muzik nie, teringat kisah silam, pahit manis belajar dan berlatih. Paling tak tahan bila buku jari diketuk dengan pembaris kayu setiap kali salah, bila instructor minta ulang bny kali bila salah, kena tarik telinga bila salah dengar, instructor merajuk tak nak ajar bila asyik buat salah. Cikgu memang garang, Miss Shanie Khoo namanya, dari step 3 smpi step 8, dari grade 13 smpi grade 6. Nak masuk grade 5 (professional grade) cakap ngan bonda, tak larat dah mak. I wonder where Miss Khoo is now...

Nampaknye tak berhasil juga nie.... cuba ingat pelan-pelan lah...rasa lagu Carpenters. Nanti cuba hum kat my other half kot2 dia tahu.

Simpan gambar nie utk kenangan.

(post-post: semalam sebelum tido mlm tadi, dek kerana nak tido dengan tenang, sey pun berdoa, "Ya Allah, berilah aku petunjuk." Teruknye la hai aku nie sampai berdoa pada Allah. Dan Allah izin kan aku bermimpi lagu tu semalam.

Tajuk lagu: Those were the days.
Penyanyi: Mary Hopkin

Alhamdulillah...case closed.)

Harris bin Potter, sebuah parodi

Salam,

Lama nak tulis review buku nie, busy yang amat 2 minggu nie. 2 minggu nie diuji dengan masa; deadline geran, progressive book chapter writing, siapkan paper untuk submit kepada reviewer, rancangan pengajaran semester dan macam-macam lagi. Ditambah pula dengan kesihatan yang agak merundum disebabkan cuaca yang amat panas sekarang nie. Dengan berita jangkitan novel coronavirus (nCoV) lagi, serba sikit kita rasa risau juga kan.

OK lah. I better write a review now, kejap lagi nak balik rumah bonda. So about this book, what caught my attention is the title. I am a fan of Harry Potter, so anything that has to do with Harry Potter will give me an alert. The eye really tricked me this time. Instead of Harry, the title say Harris. Baca 2 kali baru perasan, nie bukan buku Harry lah. But I was keen to know, so I looked up in goodreads for review. For a new book and not a mainstream book, the rating and review is not that bad. Many said it is full of humour. And since it is so hard to get, I bought it from my favourite online seller, BooksNBoobs. The book is a quicker, memang pisang goreng panas. I had to place an order and wait for almost a month to get the book. And it was worth the wait.

Buku sampai, tak sempat baca dulu. So I let Miss T read first. She finished reading it in 3 days. I asked for her review, she said, "kelakar lah mama". Betul ke? She nodded her head.

So bila tiba masa iols membacanya, awal-awal lagi dah kelakar. Suffian Hakim you are a talented and witty writer. The best part is where he changed the name of the characters from Harry Potter to something local but funny and sometimes crazy name, like Just Out Beaver,  There is this one part that I love so much where the grading system is changed to something funnier, local but logically. I have wrote about this earlier, you can read it here. Mine you Suffian Hakim is a Singaporean. Tapi dah serumpun kan, I can accept his story.

I think if you are not a fan of Harry you may found this book uninteresting. But I could be wrong. The only thing that I don't like is it contains a lot of bad words, not that I mind it at all, but I regret it when Miss T read it first. Tanya Miss T, do you understand what this words mean, she said, I think I know...hahahahha... So, I would strongly recommend you to read it first before handed it to your kids, unless you kid is open-minded. You decide.

So, mana nak beli buku nie? I don't know whether Rachel from BooksNBoobs still has some copies left. You need to DM her to find out.

I gave a 5 out of 5 stars on goodreads.com, yup that much.... So that's it, my review.

Happy reading folks.
