Sohrab shrugged and smiled, wider this time. " I dont mind. I can wait. It's like the sour apples."

"Sour Apples?"

"One time, when I was really little, I climbed a tree and ate these green, sour apples. My stomach swelled and became hard like a drum, it hurts a lot. Mother said, that if I'd just waited for the apples to ripen, I wouldnt have become sick. So now, whenever I really want something, I try to remember what she said about the sour apples." .........................................

The above was taken fm the book Kite Runner. I'm done with it ...I was really moved when i read the above. One of my favourite clause...besides "For you ,a thousand times over........"

It's a great book indeed. Thank you my friends for the great recommendations....but surprisingly, i didnt need a box of tissue next to me.. thou, i really could feel the agonies, the pains, the happiness , the sufferings etc........

I didnt like the character Amir in the beginning, but grew to forgive him when he tried to redeem himself.

But I have to admit, that I nearly threw the book when Amir told the little boy he would have to go an orphanage for just a little while and the little boy begged and begged. And then for Amir to find him in the tub that way. It was so disturbing to read that, and you knew just how Amir felt, the ripping out of his heart, and how he prayed and all the things he promised God. This book was very heart-wrenching.

I could go on and on abt the book..cos, when im on it, i could vaguely imagined, how the whole scenarios took place.

But the author didn't have to spell it out for us. It ended perfectly, with the kite running .


Now, that im done with this one, anyone got any good reviews or recommendation of a good read ?

I've texted almost everyone y'day, informing abt the changes. They've acknowledge it.

My Saturday(s) will never be the same again effective this upcoming ones. My religious class (in English) has been re-scheduled from the weekly Friday nites to every Saturday @ 5pm-7pm. We may not be able to fit everyone's timing due to the changes, but I hope this will somehow benefits my family and myself.

To start off, it's gonna be great , cos' my hubby is able to attend the class (again) together with me. The usual weekly Friday class , most of the time , my hubby couldnt make it, due to his work comittment.

Since it's gonna be on Saturday, we might just tag the kids along. This was wat we usually do during our Ramadan classes . Kids will sit in the rear end of the class....occupied themselves with some worksheets or assessment books..after which, they'll just hang around or play (with less noise..if there's such a thing **roll eyes** ) just outside the class.

Im looking forward of these changes..Insya allah, at least, we can all do our maghrib there (Wisma Indah @ Masjid Kassim) after the class, then we can proceed with our other activities...hmmm , i thot, it sounds rather c/o/o/l. :)

So, if you are around that area...u know wat to do,eh.. ;)


Note: This class is an on going classes..so new comers are most welcome. The students in the class comprises of Muslim Converts (or Reverts) as well as born Muslims..
Whatever it is, whoever you are, at the end of the day , our main mission is... to seek and to gain knowledge..,Insya allah.

I had an early start this morning..woke up around 5am, had my sahur.. just a cup of MUST have coffee (to chase away the monstrous migraine) and few slices of cakes. Today is the 10th of Muharram and it only sunnah to fast during this day..Day of 'Ashura'..(9th ,10th Muharram)

There are many hadiths that mention its blessings and virtues. It is good to fast on this day, although it is not obligatory.

Someone, called me "conservative" ...just because im all "covered up" now..im not at all bothered.
I dun wish to elaborate on this issues.......to each his own.

Im finishing Kite Runner , soon. Im gonna miss the characters in it.

Im getting my dad to get me Sami Yusuf cd......but he said ,the one he has in the shop is not the original ones...haizzz, gotta wait.

My son is having his English test today...pray he'll do well. Insya allah.

I have to run to the near by supermarket after tis....gotta get some groceries. Well, i really dunno wat im scribbling here today...must be the Monday blues....hmmmmm ;)

I had to run some errands this morning, after which i managed to squeeze my time to the library....and i finally got this book !! Yayness !

Since, im already at the White Sands mall, i grabbed this , for my kids lunch . Im just not in the mood to cook tdy !
