Tetralogy Laskar Pelangi

still looking for these books
scouring over amazon and ebay
but the efforts are to no avail.

i wish....heheheh....
if there any kind-hearted readers
of my blog, from Indonesia
(OMG...i'm sooo pathetic for doing this!)
bisa hadiah kan buku-buku ini untuk saya?
kalau buku-buku ini sudah lapuk juga saya terima.

I'm wanting these books in their original language
not translated into English language.

Reading these masterpieces 
in digital format (e-Book)
is wayyyy less than half the enjoyment
of reading them as a book.

So, i'm just going to wait for any respond
(hopefully... smile)
and continue to search.

Thanks....

koleksi buku-buku ku yang penuh satu almari - ketara sangat konsep Guru Pusat Sumber kannnnn....

amboiiii.....giteeewwwwsssangat tajuk

A

okeh, selain dari mengumpul barang-barang oddities
i juga pengumpul buku

mengumpul buku ni dah lama i buat
sejak zaman sekolah lagi
masa masih sekolah dulu i pernah 
dilantik jadi pengawas library 
dan bila dekat-dekat hujung tahun tu
masa cikgu library buat pelupusan 
buku-buku lama dan rosak
i adalah orang yang paling excited
bukannya apa, dapat selamatkan buku-buku 
yang i rasa masih boleh dibaca dan
ada collectable value gituuuu....


tetapi jenis buku yang i kumpul adalah jenis 
ilmiah, sastera agung, sastera kanak-kanak,
ensiklopedia, majalah National Geographic,
kamus, fiksyen sereeemmmm dan jugak 
buku-buku agama.

Apaa? y'als ingat i tak baca buku agama kaaaa?
zalim and gtewwwssangat y'als bersalah-sangka
kaaannnnnn.......

BUKU : Ferdinando, el Toro del Loco

this is another masterpiece;
a children's classic!

well, the book was actually written in English.
but, the one that i found was translated into Bahasa Malaysia
by the Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka.

trivia....
the actual title of the book : The Story Of Ferdinand
author : Munro Leaf
illustration : Robert Lawson
Bahasa Malaysia translation by : Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka

some more interesting points;
Walt Disney Pictures made a short animation film based on the storybook in 1938.
The Story of Ferdinand was written in 1936.
Upon release, the book was banned from circulation and distribution in Spain.
The storybook was since translated into many languages.

and guess what....
i'm keeping this book!

Book : Senjakala by Baharuddin Kahar

at the moment, i'm reading this book. 
a great literary masterpiece.

a few excerpts from this book:

        "Maafkan aku sahabatku, masing-masing kita harus menerima kekalahan. Engkau sebenarnya telah mengalahkan aku, dan aku telah mengalahkan engkau dengan senjata ini, tetapi percayalah, sewaktu menembak engkau tadi, aku sebenarnya menembak maruahku."


         " Aku ingin menerima ini semua dengan tenang dan tabah, ya Tuhanku. Memang tak ada apa-apa lagi yang tinggal, tapi aku masih mempunyai Engkau," bisik Kinto. Dia mengebam bibirnya dan memandang sekilas ke ufuk barat.  

i remembered i discussed this book with my friend. 
hmm, time for me to catch-up with my reading. 


hehe...i'm dedicating this post to my friend, mr. WK.
