When I said high school, I was actually referring to lower high school. I haven't really been reading since then. Just abit here and there.
I think I started cultivating this reading habit back in primary school when my Malay was really weak. I first learned my Malay from the subtitles of the TVB series with my family. Then, I learned more from reading Malay (short) novels. I love books written by Enid Blyton like Lima Sekawan, Tujuh Penyiasat, Sri Hadi and whatnot which were translated from Famous Five, Secret Seven, The Hardy Boys respectively. They were amongst my favourite! Yeap, so that's where I picked up my Malay.
I even remember winning awards for "Kempen Galakkan Membaca" (some nonsense campaign which no one bothers) in school for being the one who reads the most? Gosh. That sounds so nerdy! I seriously don't really read alot, just that no one elses in school reads? Yeap, that explains.
Some of the
Back in upper primary school days, I'd follow my best friend (Lee Lian) to the Klang Library every Saturday after CCA. Her dad will drop us both there and that's our hang out place? LOL. To think bout it, her dad was the one who cultivated this reading habit in us.
There was one period of time when Juliana Lim (from the neighbour class) thought that I was a nerd when we take the same bus to school. That's because I was (note the past tense used) quiet, and she sees me reading story books in the bus everyday. It's either that, or I'll try to come out with new melody for songs using my recorder. The impression got worsen when she found out that I got first place in my class for exam. She must have carried that "nerdy" impression of me since then. Believe it or not, I was (and still am) not a nerd!
That impression lasted until she really really know me when we were in form 1 (we were in the same class, we carpooled to school, we lepak-ed together all the time). Her perception of me changed 180 degree to be someone noisy, active and cheeky.
Started picking up English novels in high school. I even volunteered myself to be a librarian in school when I was in form 1. That was because I was told that librarians can borrow many more books and all. But I quited in a month time to avoid someone there. Sounds stupid, yeah, whatever.
One of my favourite authors is Adeline Yen Mah. I personally feel that she writes good books. I know that there are many more good writers out there but pardon someone who doesn't read like me la okay.
Sad to say, other than The Bible and reference books, I haven't been reading. Any kind soul with good books for loan?
Your kindness will be repaid by my Daddy when you meet Him in heaven later on =)
