“…engkau bagai air yang jernih, di dalam bekas yang berdebu…” from Isabela..is he talking about her foundation? bad make up? it just hit me that that line sounds abit off..besides its romantic interpretation, what do u, esp. girls make of this line?

.

(deleted)…keep in mind that as i child, i started talking only at the age of four, and have difficulty stopping until now..i started reading( not sure when), and the reading habit (around 17) rather late..besides being a slow reader, i also cant sit and read for long periods of time..in short, despite my love for it, an addictive book like da vinci code, which i read during sem addictively, took me 2 weeks..get the picture?

.

im almost at the end of Blink by Malcolm Gladwell..a book my brother loan me..fantastic book..’The Power of Thinking Without Thinking’..before even finishing this book, i already bought a copy as gift a friend of mine who let me stay in his house for many days in new york..i vouch for it..its a relatively bersepah book..hops here and there throughout..it basically explains about how the brain works and all that comes near it..also about decision making, and how deciding immediately before a person makes the first blink can be better than analyzing the problem and overlook the matter hollistically..hence, Blink.

.

I have a few books pending..but if it sucks, then i want to have something to turn to immediately..the two books i bought but have some doubts are ‘Crime and Punishment’ and ‘Notes From Underground’ both by Dosto(y)evsky..hes some russian mutt that was imprisoned for some stuff he did i forgot what..brilliant chap apparently..im a sucker for these kind of writers and these kind of books..hence my doubt..i might not be prepared yet for these books..i thot i would have enjoyed ‘Anna Karenin’ by Tolstoy..read like 20 pages, couldnt take it, too russian..i bought an RM12 copy of ‘War & Peace’ by Tolstoy too, tak baca until now, coz one of my friends said its loooong and abit draggy and ada like 700 characters..in time i shall..i also bought ‘Mein Kempf’ by Adolf Hitler..read like 100 pages..couldnt take it, too german..i enjoyed ‘Long Walk To Freedom’ by Mandela, it was very African of course, but i read it a little after coming back from cape town, so that mustve helped..summink easier to relate to..also ‘The Singapore Story’ by Lee Kuan Yew..very singaporean, and also malaysian ish..can relate like kacang..plus, unlike mandela, lee is also brilliant as a writer..budak cambridge youuuu..i had some problem with Yukio Mishima’s ‘Confessions of a Mask’ becaus it was too japanese and disturbing..but it was good, and i was a sports clerk at a Family Club here in Shah Alam, doing nothing much besides reading health magazines in between staring at the ceiling, so i finished it..brilliant book nevertheless.

.

Hence my scepticism pessimism over the Dostoyevsky or Dostoevsky..but i already bought two of his books..selamat tak mahal..what can i say, im a sucker..my sister in law loan me some janet evanovich..she said its similar to ‘Adrian Mole’..but its a series, and you have to get hooked once u start volume one

.

Any good stuff to recommend?
