Other than that, i've been quite hardworking in reading books. I just done with Khaled Hosseini's novel, The Kite Runner. This is one inspiring book which motivates me to read more. If you want to know the outlook of what life is all about and the struggles in meeting basic neccessities of the Afghanis people, the betrayal, guilt, redemption, hope, friendship. love, the cruelty of the Talibans and the misconception of Islam.. Do read this. It has opened my eyes and realized how cruel life can be and the importance of treasuring every moment with our the loved ones. I can tell you one thing.. im so glad and THANK GOD that im born in Singapore. I think i will just be Taliban there to have a decent life. You know.. the Hazaras there were treated like servants, animals. Before this, I doesn't realize the great importance of racial harmony and world peace. I know the situation there was bad but i didnt realize it was THAT BAD.
Anyway, thanks to Fazliah for recommending me this book. Im looking forward more now to your future recommendations. :)
On top of that, i've borrowed this book called Sacred Games by Vikram Chandra. It was my choice and not from Faz's recommendation so... i hope it will turn out good.
Oh ya, the Kite Runner movie is coming out soon!
I've just found out( i bet you all doesn't know it too) that Kaka means Uncle in Afghanis language, Farsi if im not wrong. I will encourage my nephews to call me Kaka Khairul from now onwards. Haha.
And and.. you know what? The role of Soraya, one of the characters in the book, was acted out by this Iranian-born Atossa Leoni. Wooot!
