came across the recommendations about this book on a magz today.... it kinda perked me up abit after my long, draggy piano lesson. As i am a fan of his Kite Runner, i am so definitely going to get his book... but probably i will wait thill the paperback is out!!!!!!!!!!
Once again, it is set against the volatile events of Afghanistan’s last thirty years—from the Soviet invasion to the reign of the Taliban to the post-Taliban rebuilding. It is a tale of two generations of characters brought jarringly together by the tragic sweep of war, where personal lives—the struggle to survive, raise a family, find happiness. I noticed nowadays i am always hooking on such heart-wrenching books and i will cry everytime i read them. Strange isn't it? Till now, I still can't get over the infamous phrase in kite Runner, for you a thousand times over...
Alright, books aside. Hazel's bicycle got stolen!!!!! argh... i just don't understand why these prople out there love to steal such a thrash like that. basically, the tyres are punctured and there's holes in it all thanks to my two beloved cats, the brakes are faulty so i will probably fall to my death if i cycle on it and the whole bike is like rusty and old esp the chains. Conclusion is, it doesn't worth a single cent now. I refuse to throw it away cos it was a gift from rebecca many years ago... darn, i am very sorry rebecca.... then and again, this makes me realise how unsafe my neighbourhood is. incidents of bicycles, shoes, slippers and potted plants being stolen are not new. But come to think of it, it is also because we are not that civic conscious enough to keep a look out for one another. the thief is so daring that he or she could actually take anything without anyone noticing in bright day light. Moreover, my neighbours were all at home with their doors wide opened.
Oh well, what can i say. it is typical of our society nowadays.... distance and coldness.
