The last time I read a Malay book was 2 years ago, a book given by him written by Hamka. I can’t remember when was the last time I bough malay books myself, it must has been ages. It’s not that I don’t like to read Bahasa Melayu books but somehow after reading few chapters, I will lost interest. Tak menarik, balik-balik benda yang sama. Cinta tak kesampaian, dendam keluarga, penderitaan bla..blaaaaaaa..bosannnn. Aku yang membaca pon terasa lemas kadang-kadang. Ada juga certain writers try to run for the norm by writing so called intricate storyline tapi terlalu bersimpul pun tak bagus jugak. Letih aku nak tunggu apa motif cerita tu. Gagal juga.
But when I was small, I remember enjoy reading Bahasa Melayu books. Series like Tidurlah Intan and antologi cerpen for kids were so interesting back then. One antologi cerpen yang aku paling ingat ialah cerita ketayap putih, the illustration was by Imuda. Oh I really love Tidurlah Intan’s illustration. Gambar-gambar itu semua sudah cukup bercerita dengan cara yang tersendiri. And I also remember reading novel entitled Salina, not too complicated but meaningful. Few weeks ago I came across the latest version of Tidurlah Intan, I have to say it’s not the same anymore. Even the illustration that they use are not so eye catching. Apa sudah jadi?
Mungkin kini mereka lebih sibuk merencana ayat-ayat baru seperti “baharu” dari menghasilkan sesuatu yang menarik minat masyarakat untuk membaca.
I never buy books related to religion sebab..entah sebab aku memang keji kot but after watching Ayat-ayat cinta, I decided to give it a try. While browsing at MPH, I saw this book, Dalam Mirhab Cinta. I said why not, sesekali beli novel bahasa melayu [bahasa Indonesia sebetulnya]. Who knows I might enjoy it.
3 stories in 1 book but I love the second stories the most [Dalam Mirhab cinta] although, there’s a continuity to it. That story reminded of one of Gibran’s story about how the cruel world could make out a thief from a decent man. The perspective is also like Gibran, menulis tanpa rasa takut apa walaupun dalam konteks Islam mungkin some of the things that happened ada yang membuatkan kau menjongkit kening dan berteriak “Ini bukan ajaran yang betul!” dan yang paling penting, tidaklah pula mencerca bangsa lain. Like, oh the jews are so lahanat and the christians are so sesat. Aku menyampah bila orang cakap-cakap benda ini. Itu semua common sense, the bottom line is, why do you fight hatred with another hatred? Bilalah dunia nak aman macam tu. I am speaking in the terms of berdakwah.
And, I like this guy, he portrays women differently.
Also, the words that he uses, tidak terlalu bersastera but the arrangement of words are nicely arranged. And the message and meaning, nicely delivered. Tak perlu nak poyo berteka-teki or struggle nak tunjuk intellect. Like, lagi kau tak paham dan peningggg lagi tererlah aku menuliss. Kau apa tau, tahap pemikiran kau tak tercapai ok dengan tahappemikiran aku. Tsk.
Tapi aku baru baca buku dia sekeping aja, have not yet read the rest. But I will and already planning to buy his book yang apa tah tajuk dia tapi ada kaitan dengan Cleopatra hehe.
Dulu ex aku yang lanchau kakak die writer, I read her book and told him not badlah but actually I lied. Aku tak paham apa kakak die tulis hehe. Maybe I am stupid or maybe..she’s too smart or maybe her bother is the bloodiest idiotest in the whole wide world [motif?]. Aku kalau menulis pasal si celake ni tak maki dia tak bolehla. Rasa mendidih-didih je darah dalam urat-urat aku ni.
Oh ye, sempena Ramadhan yang akan datang, saya memohon ampun dan maaf sebab selalu berkasar dan memarah sesuka hati macamlah aku sorang je yang tahu nak marah.
Aku berdoa jugak, moga-moga Tuhan lembutkan dan bukakanlah hati aku untuk memaafkan si celake itu tadi. It’s sucks to live in vengence but someone told me, tak perlu tergesa-gesa maafkan orang. Biarla maaf tu datang sendiri satu hari nanti dengan hati yang ikhlas
Aku rasa macam tu, sampai matila aku tak maafkan die hehe.
Apa niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii..Tadi baru jeee cakap elok-elok nak mintak maaf semua. Tsk
Sorrylah, this is already 1.30 a.m, I cannot think properly. So, there.
Ok last.
Selamat berpuasa dan beramal. Gunakanlah Ramadhan dengan sebaik-baiknya. dan tunggulah kedatangan puasalicious. Hehe
