Sambil saya lalu...

I have finished reading 'As I Was Passing' book 1. And yesterday I bought the
second book. Well, to be frank, we have grown up with this book, only that I
have lost the older version. Silly me, screw myself for being so careless. Lucky
I have the book voucher so I don't have to spend a lot of money in 'menebus
kesalahan' for losing that book.

Nonetheless, the older one, bearing the pen name of 'Sri Delima', was, is and
always be the most valuable of all. Because Mum was one of the people who worked
together in making the book a success. She typed part of it and when it was
published, each typist who contributed were given a copy. I can still remember
vividly, the cover was orange in colour, and all the stories were crammed in one
small book. Now that they re-publish, they make it into 2, each sold at RM32.90.
For anyone who are still clueless on what to buy, head on to the nearest MPH and
take 'As I Was Passing' home. You won't regret, trust moi. Trust no one but moi~
Hahaha~

Now let's snap out of it.

I'm gonna put here some of the smart sayings, paragraphs, pantun or whatsoever that I find interesting.
But still you have to read the full story, it's just a book with short stories about life, back in the 70s
And you yearn to be teenagers or young adults of that era.

Indah bunga bakawali
Diusik, dipetik jangan
Hati loba merangkuli
Hati kasih melepaskan

"It's the old angel-devil attraction. I like him because he is everything 
I should be but am too wicked to be. He likes me because I am everything 
he longs to be but is too virtuous to be. Anyway, I know that if I were to go 
bankrupt tomorrow I could park myself permanently in his house, and vice-versa,
believe it or not."  


Whaaa...mum called to eat dinner. Till then, I can only include 2, coz wanna go eat le~
Read this book will ya, As I Was Passing by dear Adibah Amin :)
