when reading makes u happy...

assalamualaikum and hye...

i love to read biographies, but my passion on reading started by reading fiction.

few years back, as far as i could remember, the early stages at UM, i read a book titled "Made in Japan" by Akio Morita. for me it was so refreshing, stories about failure, commitment and success, and since then, i got stuck with biographies / non fiction.

this year i have 3 new collections of biographies. all of them are about great people and their exciting journey on life.

the first book is "first man". its about neil armstrong. the first man on the moon. a gift from sarah sayang which i got it by surprise. it almost slip thru my hands, but she finally got it for me.

just starting to read a few pages.. thanks sayang. :) love it verrry beryyy much!!


"first man"
a gift from sayang becoz of good behavior. hehe


the second book came all away from UK. a gift from my great fren alinur. the story was, i found the book about 7 years ago when still working at MPH. becoz of money constraint, i have to let it go and decided to purchase when my wallet are getting better.

months passed, and the book was not on the shelve anymore. to make it worst, i forgot the title. since alinur was on a trip to UK, i decide to ask alinur to find me a book anything about Yuri Gagarin, and guess what???????????????

she found the book that i didnt bought years back then.

when i saw the cover page on her mms, i was like. "FUCK! u found the book! the only thing i remember was the picture of Yuri on the cover page with the label CCCP on it.

btw, finish reading it.. sad sad story...(even that u know how it ends, but reading a biography adds an extra emotion ending) :(

"Starman"
comrade Gagarin, found you finally...

the last book, i bought it myself plus with an extra sedekah from sarah sayang. hehehe. furthermore, it was written by walter isaacson. he wrote a biography on albert einstein, which i have posted earlier.

"steve jobs"
cost me rm 99.90 but got a 30% discount from borders. YEAY!


books that need my most attention. cuti ada extra 11 days. may i use it for reading??

small collection above my head.


beside getting the book, chocs, and a spitfire pin badge from alinur, i got a great poster from her. its super cool, that i decide to buy a frame for it and hang it on my wall. PERFECT!


please recognize your friend and foe.

side by side with the chelsea poster!!


thanks to sarah sayang and alinur for the great books that you had bought for me. REALLY appreciated it.

what i learn is, if u saw a book you like, just take it. either u read it or not, its a different story, bcoz once u leave it on the shelf, it might be the last time u will be holding it.
