I won't disclose what my goal is.
However,in pursuit of the goal,I am committing myself to write and read 3 hours a day.
3+3=6..watakwan!o.O so it lefts me with less time to Dota.
§ 3 hours of reading.
Reading in this sense is not reference or college books.It has no reference whatsoever.In fact,my idea is to spend 3 hours of reading story books every day...haha.gilo apo.
Anyway,I am really trying to accomplish this task,so I have been searching for books.Anyone with recommendation is welcomed.
Which reminds of a status on FB one of my friends.."Jane Doe is now a fan of twilight,so she must read all the book in the trilogies(or is it series?)"
Maka hati ini bertanya..
Best ka twilight?
There are bound to be people answering with a definite YES...
which in turn will in turn maybe make the book appear to me not.
You see,people tend to expect 'something' when they are recommended a product by a high number of people.But how about if you found something by accident?
The same thing my taste different depending on the way it is 'found'.It might be confusing,but let take a look at a few scenarios.
Scenario 1. Your friends recommended a band,paramore for example, and they say how wonderful the band is etc."best,dgr la.""sora dia sedap.""bessssttt"so you listen,and in the end(sometimes even before you listen) you decided that they had no taste and their recommendation is plain boring.This happens most of the time.
It seems that there is a desire for us to be different,to have a better taste,to be a little bit superior in finding the best.Or can I put it, to be poyo?
Scenario 2. You stumbled upon a band,also paramore for example,and you listen to it.Without knowing anything about them.So you are hook.
Then you discover one of your friend also listen to paramore.And the conversation goes like this.
"omg,u like paramore too!"
"yeah I do.they are so awesome!"
"aah.i like their single bla bla most."
so the two friends agree and recommended to a third friend,which occurs in scenario 1.
There is the need to differentiate ourselves from the pack.-Scene 1
However we also need to feel the sense of belonging,the thought that we are in a community.-Scene 2
These 2 are contrast to each other.
if either is strong,your decision will be influenced.
back to twilight book.
There are so many fans of them,and it is such a hype,that I am afraid if I were to read it,I would dismiss it even before finishing the 1st paragraph..It is not the books shortcoming,but rather the way I am introduced to it.
pendek kata,mesti rasa poyo pastu rs buku tu x best.
Twilight and paramore are merely examples.
It happens to anything.I have enthusiastically recommended book/films to people,praising for what its worth only to make the other person feel the exact opposite.
This post is just telling,so that people will less likely to follow my mistake and let people read books/watch films neutrally and do them justice.
Still,do recommend interesting books,please. :)

§3 hours of writing.
Boah!
mcm mana la nk tulis 3 jam ni..
It is less likely I would be able to fit for this blog,so it is most likely that they will populate kerawang perak.
I realize what people write in their blog is up to them.Up to a certain point that is.
Cursing people,for example?
I have blog-hopped and read a post from a friend of my friend.
Something about friends at Malaysia asking her to bring souvenirs for them back home.I am in no place to judge,but she went like,
"fucking friends?I am a student,I dont have enuf money to buy etc3..
I dont need friends like you!"
The problem with writing post like that in these manners are
1. the writer was mad at someone else,but other people read and misinterpreted it, and consequently unrelated people offended by it.
2.The post was a burst of emotion.Written and forgotten,but the person mentioned may stumble a while later,months after the feud/discontentment dissolve, only to be reminded by it.
the writer might not even remember the cause anymore!
"Why did you write etc3 about me?" she/he would be asked.And how would she/he answer?
3. Written words are strong.
Let say someone was angry and insulted you.
"what did you say?" you would ask.only if he answered were you subjected to another insult.
But if it were written,
"what did he wrote?!" you simply look back and the insults would come again as if uttered again.
It is like watching a person fall at a wedding in those American home videos(AFV).
It is embarrassing enough to fall in the first place,but to see it again and again in the video..
Similarly,the insults are enough,but to read them over and over again in a post..
Humans have to shoulder consequences from their actions.
I guess that's what you get from having freedom of thinking. :)
p.s.
1. fuiyo.8.15 pagi pon suboh lg!

ReplyDeletethe desire to be different is there in all of us.
ReplyDeletethe difference lies in what, where, who and how.
in my case, i tend to stop liking certain things when my friends start to go gugu gaga over them. haha.
it pisses me even more when they know more bout the things than i do.
well thats also me being possessive over things that are obviously not mine, and are open to anyone liking them ^^!
and on the other side, when youre being too different, people will start calling you a freak.
wahahaha, ko mesti syok winter sbb suboh abeh lambat.
ReplyDeletebtw, part writing tu mmg aku setuju beno!!!kkdg emo lebih2x dekat blog...pastu ckp "suka hati ah, blog aku"...well, kalo blog tuh from google, wordpress host, tu bukan blog korang....nak bebetul blog sendirik, belilah hosting ngan domain name lain okay...ceh...nyampah i...awww, heheheh

ReplyDeletedo i have d right to say sumting in here?=)
i feel like i'm d one whom u r referring to...heee~~~
btw,for me myself...i'm not trying to b a little bit superior...i'm reading sumthing n i got stuck wif something,mostly i didnt hv any intention or maybe desire to impressed others...
i started reading scara kbtulan not bcoz of others recommended it...n,when i got stuck with a book,i tend to try to read all d books by d same writer...maybe bcoz i didnt wrote anything about other writer...perhaps...=)
but,i love sophie kinsella too...n i read each of her novels for 2-3 days...bcoz i love her stories...n d same goes to stephenie meyer's...actually,she's not as a good writer as sophie,(maybe bcoz i prefer more on something light n funny),but i got stuck with d 2nd book,n i was keen to noe what would d ending be...that's why i'm trying to finish all d books though the final book is not as good as the first 2...
hm...ok...dis is my opinion...mind me if i'm wrong...n,sumtimes,i jd poyo je by trying to impress others...like wearing clothes for ur bf n trying to look beautiful ever...trying to get d most beautiful shoes so people will adore ur shoes...haha...i noe it sounds silly...n sometimes,i don't hv any intention to brag or what,but d way i tell things (i'm kind of too overwhelmed in most of d things), people may think dat i'm trying to impressed them which sometimes i didn't...but,dat's me...=)
p/s : pong...i'm trying to be anonymous,bleh?=)
p/s/s: sorry,if aku salah phm,but it's purely my opinion...
p/s/s/s : happy chinese new year!=)
