Let me show you some of the powerful words :

Book Review : The Night Tiger by Yangsze Choo

I always looked up onto Choo’s writing about strong girl character, you may read my review on her first book (The Ghost Bride – here), did you know it will be 6 episodes adaptation of this novel coming on Netflix this year? Im all head over hills into it. Back to this review, you sees, as a woman/girl we do have many limitations as fragile as we are. But deep inside, there always something blossoming about being a girl, and…

Lifestyle, Personal

What It Felt to be Leaving 2018?

“Dr, I really thought you’ll say that I have like less than three months to live..” “Ha ha ha, there is still a long way to go..” And then I smile, yes indeed, there is a long way to go… Last two days, I experienced a real pain on my chest. I have a very sleepless night, I cant move so much and the only position that my chest will be less in pain is when I lay down on…

  • QOTD : What was the best thing happen to you on this August and Sept? . . . Guess who's missing the community? . . . ME OF COURSE! . . . How have you been my dear all? May you have a wonderful weekend. Its been so long I didnt post anything here because oh my, my study just so so so a big deal! Everything is hectic and im struggling with time and etc but Alhamdullillah after all of that I just be so grateful for being in study mode again! . . . The main similarities of being a bookstagram and master student is the ability to review books/articles in critical thinking (ehem, thats why I choose coursework? 😂). I've been in the same reviewing industries but this year its all will be articles academic reviewing mode. Perhaps I can squeeze my time a bit for bookstagram adventure, what do u think? Hehe.
  • ❤️Reviu Buku❤️ Risalah #MalaysiaMembaca by @jejaktarbiah . . . Saya tidak lekang dengan senyuman apabila membaca risalah ini. Perasaannya seperti tanah yang gersang dicium hujan, memberi ruang dan nafas baru untuk kembali subur. Inilah perasaan saya terhadap 'membaca'. . . . Setiap bait seperti membawa saya ke zaman kecil dimana saya akan duduk dan membaca majalah2 yang diletak diruang bilik guru. Seringkali habis waktu sekolah sy akan 'lepak' di bilik guru, bilik emak saya, dan masa yang panjang sebelum waktu pulang dihabiskan dengan membaca. Antara buku yang dihidang adalah Mastika. Oww, I just in love with this magazine for unknown reason. Tapi sekarang, kurang-kurang sudah. That is why I smile sampai telinga in recalling my childhood memory on how I grow up with that kind of material. No wonder masa kerja dulu selalu dengar Misteri Jam 12, pernah satu kes sampai pelanggan pun seram sejuk nak melangkah ke kedai 🤣. . . . "Siapa yang membaca, membaca. Siapa yang tidak, tidak." (how easy that thing back then). . . . Membaca buku ini memberi sy peluang untuk berfikir kembali kenapa kita membaca? Adakah ia berkenaan dengan faedah yang akan kita serap? Atau berkenaan dengan mencari segala laluan untuk menyampaikan apa yang ada di benak kepala kita. Inilah satu buku yang apabila ditutup muka surat terakhir semangat kita berkobar untuk berkongsi sesuatu yang lebih hebat dari ini. . . . Bagi saya buku yang baik itu adalah yang mencorak pembaca nya, yang menjentik semangat juang kepada pembelek helaiannya. Kerana setiap perjuangan perlu difahami, baik dalam bidang pembelajaran, organisasi meski agama sekalipun, setiap apa yang kita buat harus ada tunjang dan akar yang kuat. . . . Adakalanya hobi perlu disiram, minat perlu dibaja. Barulah sentosa dirgahayu semangat nya. The best thing happen in your journey, is to recall the first very reason that keep you on the path. . . . Rating : 5/5🌟
  • Phew, it took a week to finally finished this book. This is not an official review because I just manage to get one to two things in the video and it took the whooole 8 minutes because I'm just getting used in speaking 😂. --- I hate to make the video perfect and some people believe just focus on the quantity first regardless the quality. I believe that I have speak my point and if you enjoying this video or curious about the book or just simply think there are way of improvement please do not hesitate comment below. Im open to any suggestion 😉 --- You can get all @jejaktarbiah from my online bookshop @galaxybookstoremy
  • Book Review | Sinarut 1994 by @alis.padasian Genre : Mystery, Paranormal, Real Society #programbukusinarut1994ubc -- First comes first, what actually derives me to read this book is how intimate it is with my Sabahan background. The people, the belief, it was all the reality of social life in Sabah back then. Also the eerie thingy actually excited me a bit to grab this book. -- Since this is the first time that I read from Alis, I found that she have her own style of writing, which kinda interesting, and it was so unjustice if I compare her with other author, so then she deserve her own kind of comment for her own writing styles. -- I love how she use local dialect in this book and if you are wondering, no, that its not how I talk 😂, most of the dialect written in Sinarut 1994 comes from the Dusun/Kadazan ethnic. And yeah I do understand it but I cant pronounce it well 😂. -- The best part about this book is no matter how uneasy this book make me feel, it was the curiousity to unreveal the mystery that keep me reading till the end. -- My top 5 YES ☑️ and ❎DONTS for this book: ☑️ It has moral value ☑️ You can learn the reality of Sabahan people by this book, the belief, the social life etc ☑️ Good read for a fan of paranormal thingy ❎ DO NOT read this book at night, because it was super spooky (one of the reader also get fever after reading this book) ❎ Not suitable for those who have a weak heart 🗡️ Bonus : Sorrowful and cliffhanged end. -- There are things that I think the author can improve, especially the stop and breath part. I know that she want to create that heart pumping effect by a single word but all what it do is leaving me in confusion - kenapa sambungan dia lain macam ni and I think it was a bit off 🤔. Also the 'part' of every character should be put some barriers, I tend to get confuse with which actions perform by whom. -- Thank you @alis.padasian for providing this ebook in exchange with a honest review. Keep writing girl! -- Rate : 3/5🌟
  • Probably the most eye opening and revealing scammer in history of business. --- I cant help but to feel a little symphaty with Elizabeth, she used to be an inspiration but in a blink of an eye Allah take it all away from her, this like an example how your determination in wanting something sometimes can go the other way, in this case, lies and scamming. --- Though all she wanted to do is to help people handle with needle (I have cousin that passed away because of cancer and she was 8 years old, with many bruises in her hand because of needles), I also have slight hope in making those machine possible. --- But the real situation that makes Theranos falling hard is because of culture between BoD, layered of lies and thin transperency of information between directors and workers. It truly was a very shame situation, but inspite all of that, it was the bitter true that need to be swallowed : the machine was never existed! Pop sorry spoilers. --- Its not only courages needed to bring a company down but big sacrifices, energy and time (perhaps a human life also) its all what it takes to expose a liar. Thank you to the author for writing this. --- I read this book pun sebab nak tahu macamana dia scam, teruk jugalah, with the company culture tu lagi, haha. Tetiba I teringat, scammers pun boleh bertahan like 10 years lebih utk dapat dana and everything inikan pula niat yang suci murni? Teruskan lakukan apa yang anda suka asalkan ianya halal 😊. Recommend to those who curious macamanaa company of scammers ni boleh bertahan lebih dari 10 tahun 🤔. --- My rating : 4/5 ✨
  • Book Review📖 The Boy Who Steal Houses, The Girl Who Steals His Heart by CG Drews (@paperfury) --- This book, well the title have been summarized it altogether. And now im crying! A-G-A-I-N --- What paperfury writes basically about a damaged kids dealing with earthlings without living out what it means to be one and only Paper Fury. This book make you cries and smiling for the next blink. A mixture of the Weasley twins but in her own aesthetic way (surely if you follow her IG and blog you'll understand how bright person she is) . --- The second thing I would like to have a word about this book was the cover. Yellow and blue just so well mixed together and omg im crying again. It was an emotional reading. --- The character development just so taken care of, the dark, the bright and even the normal character were all well balanced in this pieces. And I just so in love with the gag pulled out in this book, it was so happy, natural and light just as a entertain and fresh it would be. Thanks for making my day more brighter! --- Therefore my rate : 5🌟 --- QOTD : Most fave damaged character that makes you wanna hug and keep them inside your pocket which is nice and warm?
