Jack's comments from the Goodreads Malaysia group.

x banyak kan cawangan PayLess... Rasa yg ada pon cam nak tutup jer... And I like the smell of a new book lol... Cam ade penyakit...

Cam Harry Potter, I bought the last two on the first day of the release. I took time off from work! I was one of the very first at KLCC and actually was one of the crazy people who ran to Kinokuniya hahah... Harry Potter is like life to me then. Ingat lagi, first day price for HP was like RM80++ even after discount. I remember starving myself during my school days for the book... tsk tsk tsk...

So yeah, like Kataklicick, I'm a book slut too hahah... Kira cam book-a-holic lak... "Hi, I'm Jack and I'm a book-a-holic"

Harga? No effect what so ever...
Saya suka baca sinospsis kat belakang buku dulu...
Kalau rasa cam best je, terus beli...
Tapi, my friends could influence my choice
And usually their recommendations are good...

Sebab tak tengok lagi... hahah =D

Cari kat Speedy video. Last time saya beli kat situ. Rasanya, kat Carrefour pun ada, last time ada satu section jual Malay DVDs... Tak tahu ada lagi atau tak.

Hmm... Tak pernah tengok cerita tu... Tapi Syurga Cinta in some ways was like a typical boy meets girl, boy falls in love and boy hurt girl, etc. Tapi with the whole Islamic theme, cerita lebih interesting la...

Tadi tengok Syurga Cinta jugak. Terasa insaf jugak dengan kekurangan diri. Ye lah, kita bukan semuanya perfect. Tapi, ada filem yang boleh remind orang ramai macam Syurga Cinta, it's comforting. Memang tak menyesal pergi tengok. Selalu, kalau tengok kebanyakkan filem melayu, terasa macam, buat penat je, buang masa, hampas. Tapi, Syurga Cinta berlainan =D Keluar DVD nanti, mesti beli.

Rasanya last filem melayu yang ada impak dan buat saya macam nak tengok sangat was Syukur 21. Itu pun zaman tok kaduk dulu. Lama jugak saya tunggu kemunculan filem-filem yang ada makna.

Alamak, forgot about that movie. Sampai Hujung Nyawa, Erra & Yusri right? That movie memang interesting. Sedih dan penuh pengajaran. Meleleh air mata setiap kali tengok - ada DVD, orginal lagi tau!

Ada cerita melayu lawak bakal keluar - Adik saya punya info - dia nak tengok, dia akan belanja (selamat duit den) - title; Jangan Pandang Belakang Congkak... Cat Farish, Lan Pet Pet, and some guy lol... Tengok je la nanti, wasting time atau tak...

Ah... Kalau susah... Hantar je filem P. Ramlee kat your brother Kataklicik. Filem lama selalunya ada lebih banyak mesej. Lagipun sekarang, filem-filem lama ni, kalau ada tengok la, diaorang dah mula edarkan balik. Hari tu, habis duit beli filem lama KRU, Putera, etc. Filem-filem lama tahun 80an, 90an... Adik saya selalu kata "Susah nak cari movie macam movie lama, movie baru boring..."

Pesta Buku Selangor? Tak leh jadi, kena pergi ni...

Hmm... Rasanya, kalau boleh, cari ruang besar sikit kot... Last time, kat PWTC. Sesaknye... Sampai tak boleh nak bernafas. Baru masuk dah berpeluh sakan. Kalau boleh, satu publisher tu, stay on one floor je la... Penat nak menconfusekan diri mencari. Macam Alaf 21 hari tu... Kat 2 tingkat. Blur saya sekejap. Thankfully ada helper. Pointing me to the right direction.

Selalunya, filem Yasmin Ahmad, itu pun kalau orang faham value and msg movies yang dia...

Zombie Kampung Pisang, kelakar pun kelakar jugak, tapi ada mesej tersendiri. Kena tengok betul2...

Antoo Fighter, just for laugh... Mesej tu... Rasa macam nak tiru Ghosbuster jer... Tu opinion saya je...

Hmm... Kalau nak beli, kena beli DVD dari TV movie releases. Usually those are better than the ones yang memang release untuk cinema. Ada satu cerita Yusri KRU berlakon, TV3 punya movie. Banyak pengajaran... Tak ingat pulak title...

Sebut pasal KRU... Kalau nak tengok how far a Malaysian can push the movie industry from CGI side etc. Cicakman 1 & 2 pun not bad. Tapi personally, saya rasa, jalan cerita tak la sangat...

Nanti saya cuba survey among my friends - saya pun jarang tengok cerita Melayu. Yang kat pangung banyak hu-ha ajer... Kualiti kurang... Kalau yang released by Astro ke, TV3 ke, yang kat TV tu yang selalu lagi best. Siap bleh nangis ikut character lagi hahah...

Hmm... Kes rebut computer ni jarang jadi kat rumah saya. Even back way back when kami ada satu computer je. Mak saya tak minat nak guna, adik saya gian TV, so the computer was always my thing. And after Adik beli laptop sendiri, lagi la, masing2 buat hal sendiri when it comes to surfing the net hahah...

Selalu gak baca, tapi depends on angin kuskus hahah... Kalau rasa nak baca, dari kulit ke kulit saya baca, kalau tak, skip terus =D

Saya x de exact title to suggest la... But, why not buat "Banned Books Reading-List" just for a month? Kalau tak bulan ni, bulan depan ke... Bab seludup tu... Heheh... Nanti saya cuba tanya member2 yang boleh tolong belikan... x pun, merayu kat cousin tolong belikan next time dia gi overseas. Dia kenal sgt ngan perangai saya... heheh...

Hmm... Nampaknya saya kenala pergi berjln2 di Jalan TAR untuk check out some of these books, dah lama x kuar ke sana...

Heheh... Kiranye kita lain le. Saya personally prefers to stay at home. I hate crowded places. It makes me anxious... Tapi bab membaca sampai x sedar waktu tu, same la kita, ada sampai ada time tu, satu malam x tido hahah...

Dah lama tak baca buku melayu untuk kanak2, usually the best place utk purchase buku2 macam tu di mana ye? Sbb kalau saya pergi typical stores yang saya pergi slalunya x bnyk options...

Hmm... Interesting gak... Tapi cam sedey je nak lepas buku kat org lain...

Hmmm... Kena cuba gak update hik3

60) Hari Sabtu/Ahad (atau hari off, ape2 je la), orang lain keluar jalan2, tengok TV. Anda plak... Duduk kat rumah, for some who prefers it - put on a good music, duduk comfortably, bukak buku, sedar2, dah pukul 7 petang - alamak... Lupa nak makan tengah hari lak...

Hari ni abis gak baca buku... 2 plak tu... okay... 1 1/2... Sbb lagi satu tu dah stengah baca...

I can't think of one. I dunno why, maybe because I was taught that each book have its value and in different stage of life, I would see the book differently. Like I did with several books I'm trying to read now - for example, 13 Little Blue Envelopes. I thought it was the most ridiculous book one can read - that was two years ago. Now, I begin to see why an aunt would send her beloved niece around the world. She wanted her to learn, to understand, to experience, to grow up. I as a child, could have no understand this. Two years ago, I would have seen loads of book I find simple pleasure to be able to just read to be full of crap.

Still, I will not buy any self-help book. I don't need anyone telling me I have a screw lose in my brain. I already know that thank you very much. That doesn't mean I don't think they're crap, I think I have too little sanity to argue with it and would ended up being ruled over instead of thinking for myself.

Just thought I could help, that's all ^^ Lagipun, banyak buku kat rumah, kalau boleh somehow helps build database on Malay books, apa salahnya xD Nak kena tengok jugak, selain buku novel cinta, ada tak political related books dekat rumah... Macam ada, tapi tak ingat... hahah

Saya baru dapat librarian status. Ada jugak tambah buku whenever I find some extra time. Tapi, buku yang ada kat rumah ni je... Antara buku-buku yang ada kat rumah saya:-

1) Alaf 21 Novels
2) Creative Enterprise Novels

Ada jugak terbitan lain, kalau sempat saya continue add, at least sebuah sehari. Harap that helps.
