Syamil, Hmm macam dapat tajaan JPA je.. hehe

Kalau PTPTN macam saya, hmm kena fikir macam mana nak dapat duit tambahan, cuti=kerja

After all, all the best for your final exam!

fariza, sama macam fariza jugak. dapat PTPTN saje.kalau cuti pun saya memang kerja.cuma kawasan tempat kerja tu dekat dengan rumah. kalau cuti memang terus saya kerja kat situ.so memang ada place kosong untuk saya sebab tauke dah kenal.haha.so makan minum memang kat rumah la.duit gaji dah tak bersentuh. simpan untuk beli buku lagi.hehe

Bagus buku ni. Salah satu buku yg membuat saya ketawa terbahak. Tak banyak buku yg boleh buat begitu pada saya.

Saya membeli pun sebab atas cadangan saudara dalam ruangan travelog. Hehe.. Dan sekarang memang saya sedang geli hati membacanya. Memang benar kenyataan saudara. Menarik.. :)

Di Bawah Lindungan Ka'bah oleh Pak Hamka,dipesan dari Ujanailmu.com,baru sampai Sabtu lepas. ^^

Nostalgik.

Teruja sebenarnya nak beli sebab ada pensyarah sibuk bercerita tentang novel ni.Tenggelamnya Kapal Van Der Wijck dah ada,apa salahnya beli ini pula. ^^

Political Islam in Southeast Asia By Gordon P. Means -- This leans towards being academic, because that's where Means comes from. So, be prepared for some dry reading. But when it comes to providing a reasonable grasp of the influence of Islam in countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines, this book is invaluable.

Buku kegemaran mak saya. Tapi sampai sekarang, sinopsis pun belum saya baca.

Nampaknya perlu cuba tinjau-tinjau.Tak rugi membacanya. ^_^

Tuan Mat, Isma might be interested in this book - he's into Muslim ethnic conflicts and new journalism.

BTW, I just bought another book from Book Depository today, to add to my books-about-books collection ;)

Najwa & Zaidah, selamat bernostalgia :). Pak Hamka sangat pandai mengadun cinta dan agama dalam karya-karyanya.

Read your blog last night and left a comment.

Yup, saw it. Thanks. The inconsistencies of the guardians of decency in M'sia is frustrating. Thank God for the internet and online shopping.

Hear, hear!

Xara...macam senasib je kita ni.previously dkat bookfair, saye ade jugak beli buku rindu andalusia tu. Saya sempat beli 2 buah je dekat bookfair. Denyut Kasih Medik dengan buku Radhwa Ashour tu. Lepas tu terus balik sebab kawan=kawan saya tak tahan dengan crowd.. =D

and then, pegi MPH Alamanda yang ternyata kurang besar daripada MPH Midvalley, tapi alhamdulillah, dapat beli banyak buku kat situ. Dan buku-buku yang saye plan nak beli kat bookfair itu pun akhirnye dijumpai kat mph.

Kalau tak silap, saya beli nak dekat 10 buku. Yang lain semua dah habis bace, tinggal buku Rindu Andalusia tu je.. atas sebab dan faktor yang sama mcm Xara.. =D

Astaghfirullah... what's happening to me? I just bought a book worth 191.10 MYR! I was possessed during that time - it was a rare book, a landmark work on 'history of book' or 'l'histoire du livre'. And it says only one copy left at that online store. May Allah conceal this act from those who cannot accept the logic behind it. Amin.

The haunted book: The Business of Enlightenment: Publishing History of the Encyclopédie, 1775-1800

May Allah conceal this act from those who cannot accept the logic behind it. Amin...

Heheh.. sape kah gerangan orang yang dimaksudkan wahai Najibah..? Hehehehe

Najibah,
Jangan bersedih. Setiap buku ada manfaat dan keistimewaan yang tersendiri. Apa yang penting, buku itu ada di saat kita memerlukannya. (Ini falsampah yang sentiasa saya pegang..untuk memujuk hati setelah beli buku yang mahal). Saya pernah membeli Siri ensaiklopedia yang harganya RM1200 untuk enam jilid. Ia sentiasa ada bila saya memerlukannya walaupun ia lebih banyak "menyorok" malu-malu di rak.

Kataklicik, hehehe...

Haryati, tak sedih sebenarnya :P - tetapi hati sudah macam rebana dipalu, tak sabar mahu pegang itu buku. What a heavenly feeling to order it, cannot imagine the moment when I actually see it, touch it, smell it and devour it.

Tapi bab menyimpannya, masih berfikir, mahu sorok di dalam almari baju, atau dalam almari lagi satu, hahaha

"This is my book! I bought it with my money! Don't like it? Talk to the hand, 'cause the face ain't listening!"

Buat macam gaya diva, siap dengan goyang-goyang kepala.

Books in Australia are expensive. Plus their GST. In Malaysia, you even have tax exemption on books but Malaysians just don't read (a general statement here). I was determined not to buy any books here but you know what happened when a bookworm with allowance just recently bank-in by sponsor entered a bookshop.

Chicken Soup for the Sister's Soul: 101 Inspirational Stories About Sisters and Their Changing Relationships costed me $50. Times three for RM.

We have many libraries here so I don't have to bother too much about not having any books to read. Still, I miss reading in bahasa Malaysia :(

Saya dah baca tahun lalu, juga sambungannya Cinta Granada. Tak sabar nak tunggu buku ketiga. Walaupun tak pernah baca bahasa Indonesia sebelum tu, tetap rasa seronok. Mungkin sebab dah memang jawa.

I plan to keep buying book secretly like this. There's a certain enjoyment to be covetous of it, while the other half not knowing it. It's like having an affair! :D

Singgah di MPH 1Utama sebentar tadi sebelum pi kerja:

The Kris: Mystic Weapon of the Malay World

Moving Forward: Malays for the 21st Century

Malaysia At Random

Seeing Further: Ideas, Endeavours, Discoveries and Disputes - The Story of Science Through 350 Years of the Royal Society

Malaysian Maverick: Mahathir Mohamad in Turbulent Times - Jenuh pusing MPH 1Utama cari buku ni. Seolah-olah mereka tidak mahu ia dibeli. SB Bukit Aman (atau sesapa le yg kerjanya men'censor' buku di Msia ni) kata buku ni boleh dijual selepas 'ditahan' lebih 4 bulan jadi 'napa MPH 1Utama macam nak tak nak je jual?

Hmm, ada idea nak tulis kat blog malam ni insyaallah. Yay!

Najibah, jangan bimbang kerana anda tidak keseorangan.

Saya ada menyimpan koleksi buku mengenai photo editing yg melebihi rm100 sebuah dan ada yg hampir mencecah rm 200.

Cool! :)
