Singapore

Now I am in Singappre since yesterday. I am here with the gifted students and teachers. This is posted in Universal Studios Singappre. To be in USS you just have to be fit because you have to walk a lot. I have muscle tear at my toe. Actually I just simply have to rest. I will be home tomorrow.

ANDREA HIRATA

Edensor is the third tetralogy of The Rainbow Troop by Andrea Hirata. I managed to read it through e-book. Mostly it is about Ikal and Arai backpacked journey throughout Europe. This book is written differently compared to his other book. I mean not much hilarious pages.

Cinta di Dalam Gelas is the second book of Padang Bulan. Mostly about Maryamah or Enong trying to get back her dgnity by playing chess and beat all the men.

I realised that the characters are all the same Arai, Lintang and A Ling all mixed up from Laskar Pelangi.

READING

I read this book just in three days at home. I bought it in Gramedia Bali. It is the sequel for Laskar Pelangi by Andrea Hirata. The Dreamer revolve around Ikal, Arai and Jimbron, three high school boys. Ikal is the alter-ego while Arai is a distant relative of an orphan called "Simpai Keramat" as he is the last family member who is still alive and eventually became the foster brother of Ikal. Jimbron is an orphan who is obsessed with horses and stutter when he's enthusiastic about something or when he is nervous.

READING

I mananged to read two comics of the wimpy. One The Diary of the Wimpy Kid Dog Days and another is The Diary of the Wimpy Vampire. I bought both book in Gramedia, Galleria, Bali but the Diary of the Wimpy Vampire is the Indonesian translation. They are kids stuff. The vampire book does not have many comic strips as Wimpy Kid. They are not heavy stuff.

THE SCHOOL HOLIDAYS

This two weeks school holiday is nearly over. School holiday is never meant for me I suppose. There are the same routine jobs to do.
I went to Bali Indonesia with my siblings , Pak Itam, Kak No, Mak Yan and my daughter, Masyitha. It was a good experience and we stayed in two comfortable rooms, Amadea Seminyak Resort and Villa. We visited a lot of places and managed to watch two dance performances, the Barongngan and Kecak Dance live. Since there is no shopping complex there, I didn't buy that really anything but I managed to buy a Gucci handbag with the help of Kak No credit card. It costs me a fortune. I paid it the very next day I reached home.
On Tuesday we had high tea in China Treasure in Sime Darby Convention Center. Pak Itam organized it, Kak No paid it with kak Esah and Boboy present. May we have some other nice and sweet moments like these in future. It is not easy for us to get together again any more at this age. Thankyou everybody.
