Alam Maya Liyana

lately I've been reading quite fast...
just imagine in 8 days I can finished reading 3 novels...
it equals to 1544 pages for 3 novels...
just to make it more explicit... :)
I usually read at night...
lately, I slept late...
every night, I stopped reading between 3 a.m. to 4.30a.m. ...
and I beat my own record in reading novel...
I finished reading a novel in less than 24 hours...
what a record...
honestly, I never thought of setting a target when to finish a book...
it actually depends on the plot too...
maybe since I learn literature about 7 years ago...
I can cope quite well with arts thing...
although I'm in science stream right now...

for a past 2-3 weeks, a part of my daily life there must be something that can be related to flower...
for example...



1.my mother is now really excited about taking care of her 'mini orchid'...
she own the 'mini orchid' for quite a long time...
if I'm not wrong since we moved to our new home on 88...
I know, it's 20 years ago...
the problem is, there's no flower on some of the orchid...
only leaves, although she tried a few type of fertilizer that are made special for orchid...
so, she take some effort by buying books about how to take care of orchid...
hoping that it'll help her...





2.lately, on kak iris' blog it's all about tulip...
I've noticed that many Malaysian women like tulips...
because I can see from the way the asked kak iris about tulip...
I admit, it is a beautidul flower...
just like the front cover of aA+bB novel...

I was suprised that last night one of my friend send me a message through the friendster...
she was kind a bit angry with me...
she asked whether I'm always online???
then she told me to add her in my YM...
she just upsad that I don't told her I'm always online at night...

I've known her since December 06, when both of us in the same Chemistry class...
but as usual, me with my own attitude...
so, we're not really close to each other...
but when I registered for 2nd year session, we meet again...
this happened when 2 of my roommates went back home and my other roommate slept at others' room, although I wasn't going home that weekend...
hmm, this one problematic roommate...
so, that night I decided to visit my classmates who stayed at level 9 (I was staying at level 8)...
I entered one of the room and I was quite shocked seeing het in that room...
it's the 1st time I met her again, after a few months...
that semester was the last time I see her...
because somewhere in November or December 07...
she started study at Tanta in Medical...
I hope she'll get what she wanted in her life...
to be a doctor...

this morning, actually not too morning...
one of my coursemate, T sms me...
she was asking about the payment that we've to make...
just as a reminder ...
please remember the important things in your life...
and don't take thing for granted...
because once you neglected it,you'll have to face the consequences...
just like my friend...
she was worrying because the due date to pay the fee already end...
but for me, better late than never...
poor T, she really didn't remembered about this thing...
but I told her there's nothing to be worried about...
of course for every mistake that people did, there's a punishment...
but the punishment will not burden her too much...
it was informed from A&R web that...
they'll issued the offer later late for those who paid after the due date...
I hope this will be a good lesson for my friend...

today is my 37^th day off…
a few minutes ago, I was thinking…
about the reading habit among Malaysian…
I just want to take one type of book that are getting more popular nowadays as an example…
novel…
it seems that today, many people like to read novels…
including myself…
I've just read a few posts from a few blogs regarding reading novel…
there's one thing that I can summarized after reading their entry…
not all parents like their children to read novel…

I'm glad that my parents supported me…
one thing that I still remembered until today…
since I was in standard 1, that was in 1995…
when there's a bookfair (don't think like KLIBF, that's way too big) at my school…
my mother (usually, sometimes with my father because he was working) will accompany me to buy story books…
although I don't buy a lot of books at the bookfair but because there's a lot of kids' book publisher, we're actually have about 3-4 bookfair a year…
so, for 5 consecutive years studying at same school, I've bought quite a lot of books actually…
but then, how can I have the interest to read novel???

it's started when I've finished my SPM 05…
after passed my driving test, (I'm taking both car and motorcycle licence, I know some can't believe it), I'm kind a bit bored…
furthermore, my parents didn't allow me to go and look for a job (and I'm glad they did because I wasn't thinking of working at all)…
I told my mother about it…
later, she took me to Harfa (the most famous bookstore in Kulim, that's what I said)…
I look around and then decided to buy "Bagaikan Puteri", by Ramlee Awang Murshid…
after finished reading it, I look for a new novel…
I don't actually have the right numbers of novel that I own right now…
because recently, I bought 4 new novels and I didn't include these in my list yet…

I know that in Islam we can't actually believe that numbers or anything that we're not supposed to believe will give us fortune or some said luck...
it's just that this morning, I realized that 29 is my number...
and actually it's just a coincidence that I have a few common things that related with 29...
I'll list down here a few things about 29...

1. my birthday is on 29.1.1988
I shared my birthday with my 3 classmates when I was in primary school...
when I was in CFS, one of my friends, Julaila remembered my birthday because I shared the same birthday with her mother...
one day, I was talking about my birthday...
then, suddenly my mother said,"Thank god your birthday is 29.1 not 29.2...
maybe some of us didn't realized that 1988 is a leap year...
if I was born on 29.2, I'll be celebrating my birthday once every 4 years...

2. my father bought my 1st handphone Nokia6100 on 29.9.2004
3. my brother bought my mp4 Sony Walkman on 29.3.2008

talk about numbers and the power of 29...

sometimes, it's good to have a long holiday after studying for quite a long time...
but it's better if the holiday is not too long...
for example, myself...
today is my 33th day off...
what have I accomplished???
let me see...
maybe just finished reading a book...
a lot of internet surfing at night...
playing Husz Games Pro, took from my coursemate, Nisa...
and blogging...
how do I feel right now???
boring...
because, I posted in my previous entry...
I hate routine...

I hope time can move a little bit faster...
because I want to go to Pahang...
it's not that I don't like holiday...
but, too long having a break is not good to myself...
furthermore, I don't think I did anything that benefits me a lot this 106 days off...

talk about Damai Kasihku...
I'm not trying to be like one of the most popular person who always give views on the novel...
I just want to share my story...
this is the 1st novel that I bought written by a new novelis...
before this, I usually bought a novel written by a well known novelis...
I feel like there's something different and attracts me about this novel more than other novels at Alaf 21 booth...
I bought this novel although at that moment I feel like is this a right choice???
but then, I wasn't dissapointed after finished reading Damai Kasihku...
something that I like about Damai Kasihku, this novel makes me travel to a few places from England to Malaysia, more specific to Penang and Sarawak...
something that I don't find in other novel yet...

and I never imagine that one day the author of Damai Kasihku is one of my friends...
although I never met Kak Iris yet, hopefully maybe one day, if I have that opportunity...
leaving a short message at her blog is a way for me to keep in touch with her...
a method that is now not impossible for anybody to keep in touch with anybody, anywhere, anytime...

talk about novel, hopefully before my 3 1/2 months vacation end, I can finished reading all the novel that I bought...

talk about reading, I started to seriously read newspaper when I was in standard 2, that was 12 years ago...
I started by reading the comic and then by time to time I began to read other section as well...
quite suprise that eventhough I don't like to read English materials, my English is ok...
ok in terms that I can get really good marks at high school...
but I know that I still need to improve my grammar...
among all newspaper, I like to read Kosmo...
simple, cheap, compac and easy to read anywhere...
furthermore the price at IPT is RM0.30 cheaper than buying it outside campus...

but my passion right now is reading novel...
I started with books from Alaf 21, then my brother introduced me to Jemari Seni and Kaki Novel...
but there's other publisher that I've never read yet their published books such as Fajar Pakeer and KarnaDya...
maybe one day, InsyaAllah...
there's one book publisher I'll maybe never buy anymore their published novel again...
I'm kind a bit dissapointed because the way the author represent the story is too boring...
the language, the dialogue between the characters and a few more things...
I'm not accusing for no reason, even my best friend bought a novel from the same publisher but different title from mine...
she even complaint the same thing...

I read anything that I want to read regardless publisher and author...
from my point of view, there's nothing wrong buying new novelis' handwriting...
I remembered that during Raudhah Festival 07/08, an annual event at CFS, there's Alaf 21 booth...
for sure I'll never missed a chance to have a look and maybe buy a novel, if there's one that looks interesting, lol...
guess what...
I bought 2 novels at that time, Soalnya Siapa(novel Prima) and Damai Kasihku...

if I'm not wrong today is the mahallah registration day at UIA PJ...
some of my friends extend their study at PJ until short sem becauce of a few reasons...
mostly because of they have repeated paper...
they don't want to burden themselves by taking extra hours to cover back the paper that they've repeated...
it's not that they don't want to struggle a bit...
it's just that when some take extra paper, it means that their credit hour is added too...

for me, the hardest semester of all was when I'm in 2nd year 1st sem...
just imagine, I'm taking Maths 4, Chemistry 2, Physics 1 and BTQ (Basic Themes of Al-Quran)...
these are the combination that making me crazy...
quite difficult for me to study that time...
these semester is the hardest compared to my 1st year 1 sem...
that time I was taking English level6, Arabic level1, Maths 1, Computer 1, Internet, and Understanding Islam...
although there's a lot of subject but I can study all this 6 subjects quite well...

TV Reviews

I always visit my blog but I don't feel like to let my blog have a new entry...
kind a bit lazy, I guess...
but now I back...
InsyaAllah, I'll try to make an update on my blog entry everyday, if I can...
if not, I'll try to make a few new entry per week...
that's my promise to myself...

106 days...
I'm off for 106 days...
before I start my new semester at Kuantan this July...
what am I doing this long break???
not so much...
recently I'm going through all the documents in my laptop...
there are some that are need to be deleted because I don't need the softcopy anymore...
maybe it does sound a bit ridiculous, deleting files, as if I don't have anything else to do...
but my brother told me once that my laptop kind a bit "slow" maybe because my local disc C is getting "crowded"...
lol...
other than that, I'm transfering my music collection to my new mp4 Sony Walkman...
I've just bought it about 2 weeks ago...
thanks to my brother because he paid it...
it's kind a bit expensive if a student like me want to buy it...
I'll take care of it just like I take a good care of my laptop, hp and other gadgets...
