Sesuatu telah memberi kan saya kegembiraan tak terperi smlm. Apa yang saya hajati telah tercapai. Huhuhuhuhu. Kegembiraan yang membuatkan saya hampir menangis sebaik tgn saya menyentuh permukaannya. Saya adalah org yg plg gembira smlm.
“Jika dulu aku tak menegakkan sumpah untuk sekolah setinggi-tingginya demi martabat ayahku, aku dapat melihat diriku dengan terang sore ini: sedang berdiri dengan tubuh hitam kumal, yang kelihatan hanya mataku, memegang sekop menghadapi gunungan timah, mengumpul napas, menghela tenaga, mencedokinya dari pukul delapan pagi sampai magrib, menggantikan tugas ayahku, yang dulu menggantikan tugas ayahnya. Aku menolak semua itu! Aku menolak perlakuan buruk nasib ayahku dan kepada kaumku. Kini Tuhan telah memeluk mimpiku. Atas nama harkat kaumku, martabat ayahku, kurasakan dalam aliran darahku saat nasib membuktikan sifatnya yang hakiki bahwa ia akan memihak kepada para pemberani.”
Maryamah Karpov, hasil nukilan Andrea Hirata ( SAyA SukA SgT HAsil TulISAnnYA!!! Titik!!) adalah buku terakhir dari tetralogi Laskar Pelangi. Sebelum2 ini saya sudah menceritakan di dalam blog ini betapa saya suka sgt hasil nukilan Andrea Hirata. Saya sudah mempunyai ketiga2 buku pertama dalam tetralogi ini, dan buku ke-4 hanya tiba setelah berbulan lamanya saya menunggu. Akhirnya……
Kenapa saya suka sgt buku-buku dalam tetralogi LAskar Pelangi ini? Sila laa anda membacanya untuk tau. Kalau anda pernah dgr lagu dari tajuk yang sama, ‘Laskar Pelangi’ nyanyian Nidji, perghhhhh!!!! Anda kemungkinan besar boleh mengagak yang buku2 nya, “tetralogi LaskarPelangi’ ini bukan calang-calang.
Kenapa bunyiknya macam saya terlalu mencintai buku hasil penulis dari seberang ini? SEBAB SAYA SUKA LAAAAAA!!!!! TITIK!!! No point asking and no point explaining.

Tahukah dirimu, KAWAN?
Dalam serpih-serpih cahaya
Dan gerak-gerik halus benda-benda
Tersimpan rahasia
Mengapa kita ini ADA
Sekarang misi saya adalah untuk mencari VCD cerita LAskar PElangi dan juga soundtrack filem itu. Huhuhuhu. Sapa-sapa gi Bandung lagi, saya nak kirim!!!

Siapa yang menabur senyum
Dialah yang akan menuai cinta
Skrg saya tgh senyum!! Hehheheh. Adakah anda, anda dan anda merasai cinta saya?….lalallalaallalalalala

My current obsession is none other than that trilogy by Stephenie Meyer
- Twilight (I’ve watched the movie by the way and I would definitely give 5star for it. They are like among the bestest best movie I ever watched in my life)
- New Moon
- Eclipse
- Breaking Dawn
I envy Stephenie Meyer, the brilliant and very imaginative and talented author of those books. Sometimes I wonder, where does this brilliant author like J.K Rowling, J.R.R. Tolkien to name a few, got their idea from. I mean, their over-the-chart imagination is just incredible. If I’ve given the opportunity to meet them, I will definitely ask them, how and where did they got their idea from? What encourage/trigger their imagination? Does family background or their education background influence their writing? Or is it all talents and their being gifted?
Revert back to the movie, Twilight; the director has somehow managed to translate the books into a movie flawlessly with only very small changes here and there. I mean the part where Edward and James (the bad vampire) fight over Bella has been exaggerated a bit. But nevertheless, the movie is so damn exciting to watch. I can’t wait for the sequel. I do hope the original casts are maintain in all the sequel.
~annur~
Lately, I was so lucky to found, what I can consider as GOOD BOOK (GOOD BOOK according to Annuryani is any one book that when she read, she can’t put it down and she can continue reading it straight just to stop for pee and prayer). To be frank, to actually find one GOOD BOOK is more or less similar to my difficulty in finding a GOOD SHOE. It is not easy I should tell you. Take a lot of efforts, time and money. Fuh!!!!
If you remember my previous post about book title “Laskar Pelangi” which was written by the brilliant Andrea Hirata, Laskar Pelangi is actually the first book in its tetralogy. The second book is Sang Pemimpi and the third book is Edensor. I have all but one which is actually the fourth book of this tetralogy; and the fourth book titled Maryamah Karpov (This book is currently in my wish list. *hint hint*).
To be able to read three out of four books in Andrea Hirata tetralogy, is very meaningful for me. You may think, “It just a book. Why bother about it so much”. Again, according to Annuryani, a GOOD BOOK is any one book that when she read, she will remember it by heart, each and every phrase that is meaningful and have some impact in her life, thought and feeling, in one way or another.
My latest discovery of GOOD BOOK has actually inspired a movie and has a record breaking soundtrack which hit no. 1 even before the preview of that movie. The book is written by a very-creative-and-wonderful-imaginary, Stephenie Meyer. And the book titled…….TWILIGHT. Yes, it is TWILIGHT that trigger my obsession for vampire-like story books, again. The first was LJ Smith.
TWILIGHT for me is the bestest best LOVE+GHOST-LIKE story book in its league. The book is armed with both a WONDERFULLY COMBINED-TALENTED MUSICIAN IN A SOUNDTRACK and OVER THE CHART AND PHENEOMENAL MOVIE. Infact, while writing this post, I am enjoying listening to the song by Blue Foundation titled Eyes on Fire.
Again, like the tetralogy of Laskar Pelangi, Twilight is the first book in its tetralogy. I have bought the 2nd book; New Moon and the 3rd book and 4th book in its tetralogy is already in my wishlist. The third book is titled Eclipse and the fourth book is called Breaking Dawn. Take note my dearest (to whom it may concern), I WOULD REALLY REALLY REALLY LOVE TO BE THE PROUD OWNER OF STEPHENIE MEYER 3rd & 4th BOOK OF TWILIGH TETRALOGY. (*hint hint*).
“As I examined them, the youngest, one of the Cullens, looked up and met my gaze, this time with evident curiosity in his expression. As I looked swiftly away, it seemed to me that his galnce held some kind of unmet expectation.”

Guys, I am going to watch TWILIGHT the movie this coming Thursday. I hope the movie will do justice for the books.

Hello again,
Last week a friend of mine went to Bandung and he bought me (sebenarnya saya yg pesan kat dia) a lot of things among others a story book. The title of the books is ‘Laskar Pelangi’ written by Andrea Hirata. Let me tell you a bit about the author. According to the book, Andrea Hirata was born in Belitong. He is actually an Economic major, graduated from universities in both Paris and UK. He has written a lot of books among others is this book which is regarded as Indonesia’s Most Powerful Book.
I haven’t actually finished reading this book though. But, I want to share a few things written in this book which I found to be, shall I say, enlighten, very wise and very meaningful.
‘Masih dalam pelajaran biologi, terjadi perdebatan sengit di antara kami tentang teori yang memaksakan pendapat bahwa manusia berasal dari nenek moyang semacam lutung, kami terperangah oleh argumentasi Lintang’.
“Persoalannya adalah apakah Anda seorang religius, seorang darwinian, atau sekadar oportunis? Pilihan sesungguhnya hanya antara religius dan darwinian, sebab yang tidak memilih adalah oportunis! Yaitu mereka yang berubah-ubah sikapnya sesuai mana yang akan lebih menguntungkan mereka. Lalu pilihan itu seharusnya menentukan perilaku dalam menghargai hidup ini. Jika Anda seorang darwinian, silakan berperilaku seolah tak ada tuntutan akhirat, karena bagi Anda kitab suci yang memaktub bahwa manusia berasal dari Nabi Adam adalah dusta. Tapi jika Anda religius maka Anda tahu bahwa teori evolusi itu palsu, dan ketika Anda tak kunjung mempersiapkan diri untuk dihisab nanti dalam hidup selepas mati, maka dalam hal ini Anda tak lebih dari seorang sekuler oportunis yang akan dibakar di dasar neraka!”
To translate it, the character in this book was arguing on the theory that said human were all from monkey. One of the character, name Lintang, is a genius. His argument was well likened. He said that, to answer the theory about human origin, one must first identify whether they are (i) a religious person, (ii) a Darwinian (I presume it means those who think like Charles Darwin who started the Revolution Doctrines/Theory) or (iii) an opportunist. Your choice should be either a religious or a Darwinian because those who choose to be neutral are an opportunist.
An opportunist is those who keep changing their mind depending on whomever or whatever that will be more beneficial to them. Whatever your choice is is what you are in person. If you are a Darwinian, you will act like there is no such thing as heaven and hell or the Judgment Day because for you, even though the holy AL-Quran clearly stated that all human are of Adam descendent, it is all lie. But if your are a religious, you will straightly denied the revolution theory by Charles Darwin. Therefore, as a Muslim (you will not find the word Muslim in the sentences but that what I think the sentence referred to), unless you prepare yourself for the Judgment Day, you are nothing more and nothing less than a secular opportunist whom will be burnt in hell (what the author tried to say is, even if you are a Muslim and you denied the Darwin’s Revolution Theory, that does not promise you a place in Heaven).
So, what do you think? Aren’t the author is a wise man. At least he is wise with his words and he keeps us thinking. The book makes me laugh, make me think, and make me sad. This book is full of emotion and at least, for now, though I barely read half of the content, I would strongly suggest others to read it as well.

hai everyone…..(mcm ramai je org bc blog ni..heheheh…)
Anyway, today i would like to write about my hobby…apart from buying shoes (which i consider one of my hobby)…i spent most of my salary on buying books.
I read a lot..n i mean A LOT of books every month….i found that walking in any shops selling books (kedai buku nama pendeknya..heehhehe) very intriguing. Apart from shoe shops, book shops is another world best place to be in. heheheh..proclaimed me.
Anyway, one of the latest book i bought titled ‘ Ayat-Ayat Cinta’ (or in english…the words of LOVE…), written by Habiburrahman El Shirazy. The author is the graduate from Al-Azhar University and is currently a lecurer in UMS Surakarta, Indonesia and also ustaz kat Pesantren (skola agama/pondok) BASMALA, Indonesia. His book, Ayat-Ayat Cinta has won a lot of books-related award and has been adapted to a movie of the same title.
What fascinate me about the books is the fact that the author wrote the book as dedication to his wife (i think so..)..he wrote, ‘ kutulis novel ini dengan cahaya cinta untuk mahar (mcm mas kawin arrr) menyunting belahan jiwa (if i’m not mistaken, meant soulmate), Muyasaratun Sa’idah binti KH Muslim Djawahir, alm’. I would highly recommend you you and you to read this book for the fact that, ia bukan sekadar buku cerita biasa….u have to read the books to agree with my statement.
Therefore, this are among of the best quotes written in the book…..
‘Seseorg dgn tujuan yg jelas akan membuat kemajuan walaupun melalui jalan yg sulit. Seseorg yg tanpa tujuan, tidak akan membuat kemajuan walaupun ia berada di jln yg lurus’…(Thomas Carlyle)
‘…berjalan di titian kudrat (apa yg harus kita katakan) jika berharap DIA menentukan’..(Sajak berjudul Tuhan dan Titaknya, karya Fatin Hamama)
‘..love is never without jealousy. Cinta selalu disertai rasa cemburu. Tanpa rasa cemburu, cinta itu tiada’…(Habiburrahman El Shirazy)
‘Dan jikalau ALLAH S.W.T melapangkan rezeki kepada hamba-hamba-NYA tentulah mereka akan melampaui batas di muka bumi, tetapi ALLAH menurunkan apa yang dikehendaki-NYA dengan ukuran..’ (Surah Asy-Syura; 27)
‘Hai anakku, janganlah kamu mempersekutukan ALLAH S.W.T, sesungguhnya mempersekutukan (ALLAH) adalah benar-benar kezaliman yang besar. Hai anakku, sesungguhnya jika ada (sesuatu perbuatan) seberat biji sawi, dan berada dalam batu atau di langit atau di dalam bumi, nescaya ALLAH akan mendatangkannya (membalasinya). Sesungguhnya ALLAH MAHA HALUS lagi MAHA MENGETAHUI. Hai anakku, dirikanlah solat dan suruhlah (manusia) mengerjakan yang baik dan cegahlah (mereka) dari perbuatan yang mungkar dan bersabarlah terhada apa yang menimpa kamu. Sesungguhnya yang demikian itu termasuk hal-hal yang diwajibkan (oleh ALLAH)…’ (Surah Luqman; 13, 16 dan 17)
This is a good book……seriously…never judge a book by its cover..*wink*
