hobi

apakah hobi anda?

masa kecik-kecik, selalu prektis untuk ujian lisan in case keluar topik pasal hobi ni. so dah siap-siap pre-decide that my hobi is membaca dan bermain piano.

part membaca tu, ye...bukan sahaja hobby malah boleh dikatakan sebagai OBSESSION. part main piano tu..errr

i loved reading since Along bought me my first Enid Blyton: Granny's Bad Apple and other stories. ye...saya masih ingat tajuknye. i think i was about 9 years old. since then on, i never looked back! I cherish library time and would scour for books. i would ask and beg my daddy to bring me to bookshops. i remember feeling SUPER happy to find a second hand bookshop at Sarawak Plaza. Oh, how i would devour those books. tapi, i only liked reading enid blyton (all the series..mallory towers, the naughtiest girl, wishing chair, secret 7, five find outers, the adventure series, faraway tree..oh..i lupa nama lagi satu boarding skool series tu), nancy drew, hardy boys. BM ke, BI ke, semua i taram! i also loved the choose your own adventure books..the one where you flip the page to page xx if you chose to do this or that.

then, at one point, daddy said he would only buy me books during school holidays. sigh. i guess books were like my toys. ye..perlu diberitahu, my parents hardly bought me any toys. i had to use my imagination. i NEVER had a barbie doll(oh..tapi ada sekali tu one of daddy's friend bagi something like barbie)...but daddy did buy me my first set of legos when i was 7.

now that i am working dan start belajar balik, i hardly have time to read for pure leisure. sigh. the last time i really read was when i was hospitalised. best sangat (reading i mean, not hospitalised)!!

anyhoo, sesetengah orang kata hobi dia mengumpul setem. aci tak if i plak kata, hobby i mengumpul barang-barang dapur?? teeheehee

tu la, rindu the days yg mana ada byk masa nak mebaca. skang kalo baca buku cerita je rasa guilty, sbb rasa mcm patutnya mas atu buat benda lain like baca jurnal ke, kerja PhD lain ke, or even lipat kain yg dah menggunung tu ke *sigh*

gurl.... i love enid blyton too....!! my first enid blyton book was "bimbo and topsy". read the book when i was 5. or 6. tak ingat lah. but i love the mallory towers series and the naughtiest girl is a monitor series. and of course, the famous five and secret seven.. and the wishing chair.. and naughty amelia jane..

sigh... u made me miss my enid blyton books. i actually wrote to ms blyton once and they told me that she has been dead since 1960s...

tapi, apart from books, my dad also bought me a bmx bicycle (which i guna to race with the boys), my lego set and my boardgames - scrabble, boggle, monopoly, cluedo.

anyway, take care babe. see u in KL soon... :)
