I love books. ever since I was little. I still remember my first book that I, myself choose (at a book fair if I remember correctly) – can’t exactly remember the title but it was about mentadak. very colourful, & very intriguing to me.. as a 5-year old... the world of mentadak – mentadu. I would then bring the book to my cousin’s house, then I would make him read it too, because I love it so much... from what I remember from my early years... books don’t come that easily to me.. so when I got myself a book, I would hold on to it very dearly...

and then, in my primary school when I was still schooling at kampung, I was a regular at the school library. I would dash to the library at the sound of bells for waktu rehat (recess) while other kids dash to the kantin... I would read everything – from kisah nabi-nabi to prince and pauper (and the like) to the malay kisah teladan book :) . I look forward to be in standard 3 so I can qualify to be a librarian... never wanted to be a prefect – don’t have that leadership quality anyway. I think I volunteered to be a librarian when a teacher came to class one day and announced that they want to appoint a librarian.. lol.. tak malu.. hehe. had to give up my penolong ketua kelas (assistant class monitor) position though.. I was very pleased to wear my librarian tag later that day :) . Following that, I had to bertugas (fulfill my duty) at the library – twice a week, I think.. which I didn’t mind at all...

I transferred school to KL when I was in standard 5.... it was a really really small school, and so was it’s library. they even didn’t allow student in the library during waktu rehat !! except for standard 6 pupil... now how ridiculous was that !! back then Sweet Valley twins series were a hit amongst us friends and we formed a small group to exchange those series – a quite organized group may I add where we had our turn in borrowing each other’s books, according to the series no etc... :) it’s quite fun...

on to the sekolah menengah (high school) couldn’t remember much about my passion (I have passion?? hehe) for book except that whenever people ask me about my hobby I would answer.. reading a book.. a common answer to what-is-your-hobby question, but I really do like to read book during my free time... and during my university years pulak.. I always lepak at the library in between classes.. no not studying.. just tgk2 buku... those big hardcover book.. with pictures... various topic... photography... cats(i likee).. fashion... anything would do... after


be right back!
