From my bookshelf: Baca semula 7 hari mencintaiku 2

Salam,

Drama 7 hari mencintaiku 2 sedang ditayangkan di TV3. Hari ini dah episod ke 5. Drama yang ditunggu-tunggu. Dan sempena drama tu juga, sey baca semula buku nie. Kali pertama baca pada 2018, beli masa cetakan pertama lagi. Sey memang peminat novel tulisan Siti Rosmizah. Follow juga update novel terkini. Cuma kalau baca kerap sangat, kite akan hilang minat, sebab ada masanya rasa jalan ceritanya sama je. Jadi kena baca jarak-jarak sikit buku SR nie. Buku SR yang sey mula baca ialah Andai itu takdirnya. Giler kejam wey...hahahahaha... Jalan cerita SR macam tu lah, kalau tak perempuan yg bernasib malang, si lelaki yang bernasib malang,

OK berbalik kepada buku ini, drama yang sedang tayang nie, setakat nie nampak drama follow novel. 

OKLah, korang tengok lah sendiri drama tu, jam 7 petang Isnin hingga Khamis. Tapi sey tengok kat utube aje, tak dapek nak tengok petang2 tu time maghrib pulak...kenapalah TV3 nie tayang drama petang2 camtu.

From my bookshelf: NOS4A2

Salam,

It has been quite some time since I've write a review of a book that I am currently reading. For this year I have targeted 10 books to read, less than what I targeted and achieved last year. The reason for the reduction was I thought I would be busy with the travel plan thus I may not have time to read more than 10 books. So I just put 10 books as the target for this year on my Goodreads account. End up the travel has to be cancelled, and as for today, I have completed the mission of reading 10 books. But I still continue reading. Still have loads, and my TBR list is still growing. Hah...Happiness is having a growing TBR list you know...

So, what I am reading right now, and I have started reading this book on May 30th, almost a month now, is my first Joe Hill's book. Not Joe Hill's first book of course. Joe Hill is the son of Stephen King. NOS4A2. And I am on page 30. Payahnye nak baca buku nie. Nak tengok syle penulisan Joe, would it be similar to his dad's, tapi so far agak slow juga. Ada gaya sikit lah, citer panjang-panjang, and several time I got lost and slept while reading it. Kite tengok macammana nanti.

NOSAFERTU...nanti dah habis I will talk eh write about it.

Eh ada pesta buku online lah....tak sempat nak tengok lagi.

MCO Day 21: Sakit kepala

Salam,

Harinie agak busy menyiapkan skeleton buku dan juga menyusun bab. Bangun pagi sakit kepala pulak, lepas subuh dan mengaji telan panadol 2 biji, pastu sambung tido. Sedar-sedar dah jam 9.30 pagi. Allahu Akbar. Tu pun rasa ting tong lagi. Tak boleh jadi, projek buku nak kena siapkan. Mujur harinie my other half nak beli Nasi Kandar Kak Dah. Suka betul dia bila dia tahu kedai nasi kandar favourite dia nie bukak. Alhamdulillah, dapat lah sey rehat sikit harinie.

Konon berangan lah jadi macam gambar bawah nie. Non ado haaaa... tegak ateh kusi mengadap laptop sambil tahan denyut kat kepala. Rasa akibat banyak tengok skrin nie, handphone terutamanya. Blue skrin kat handphone tu lagi dasyat akibatnya daripada skrin komputer tau. Tapi keje kena buat...takpe pelan-pelan naaa.. janji gerak.

Weekend nie berangan nak buat oatmeal cookies lah. Quaker oat kat umah nie dah lame tak bergerak. Sebelum rosak baiklah sey jadikan biskut. Moga cepat habisnya nanti.

Tengok lah jadi ke tak projek cookies nie.

OK, nak tahu sey nie avid searcher on pinterest. Tiap-tiap hari mesti nak cari satu atau dua gambar kat situ. Lately, I came across pins of words. Banyak juga perkataan-perkataan baru, perkataan-perkataan yang sey tak pernah dengar dan baca. Macam harinie, borborygmi...

How to put this word in a sentence ya? Let me google, and these are what I found.

“His borborygmus was so distracting I had to ask him to get something to eat.”

“Suffering from extreme borborygmus she went to her doctor only to discover she was suffering from an intestinal blockage."

Borborygmus is the plural for borborygmi. I found the word is used many in medical sentences.

Dah 21 hari PKP, bermaksud sudah 3 minggu work from home. 10hb nie PM akan announce sama ada tamat ataupun tidak PKP nie. Huh risaunya. Semoga Allah mudahkan urusan kami. Semoga kami dilindungi daripada wabak nie. Aamiin.

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.

Redefine grading scheme based on Harris bin Potter

Salam,

I am still reading Harris bin Potter, 50% completed. This book really makes me laugh. So far every page is interesting. I guess if you a fan of Harry Potter you will find this book amusing. A good parody. I do not know that parody can be in the form of a book, until I read Harris bin Potter. The only regret is to allow Miss T read it before me. There are a lot of vulgar and taboo words, for a 12-year-old I think it is not suitable. Thank fully Miss T is OK about it.

Today I want to write a scene from the book. There is this one part, when the school grading scheme is redefine. It is hilarious and it sound legitimate in this current trend of hipster kix. I try my best to correlate to the current grading scheme. So here goes the new grading scheme:

Highest passing grade
A to A- => F = Fuyoh!
B+ to B => PG = Power Gedega!
B- to C+ => CB = Chill, Bro!

Failing grade
C to C- => WH = Wah Heng! (means lucky in hokkien)
D+ => ROK = Rilek One Korner
D => BK = Balik Kampung
E => FK = Fly Kite (means buzz off and go do something else)

(souce: Harris bin Potter by Suffian Hakim)

If you have not read the book, you should.

My reading pledge this year on Goodreads

Salam,

So I have completed my reading challenge for 2019. I pledged to read 15 books, and managed to find time to read 16 books. And still have 3 unfinished books on the list. As a record, here are the books I have read for 2019.

Goodreads has helped me a lot in managing my reading. I get to read people reviews on a particular book before I buy it. Helps me on saving money too....hahahaha... save money on books, boleh percaya ke?

OK for 2020, I pledged to read only 10 books. I feel that I would be very busy with academic writings and travelling this year so I don't want to promise a lot. I may exceed one or two books, I think, but that's it.
