A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS

A tribute to the best book I've ever read ! I took 3 days to finish this 420 paged book. Oh its amazing, simply amazing. I can't put the book down. This is the 2nd book written by Khaled Hosseini and he is an amazing writer. The Kite Runner was great but this 2nd book is just amazingly wow. The words Khaled uses is incredible. How he explains the environment in Afghanistan, how the plot goes up and down. There's nothing more relaxing during the holidays than a good book. S o I suggest to u to read this book.

This story takes place in Afghanistan. A girl named Mariam who is 16 years old was never loved by is father who had 3 more wives, her mother just commited suicide and she was married off to a 45 year old man. And oh this will go on forever. Just read the book please. Its awesome! :) Its sad, its heartbreaking, its painful oh everything. Read it, Read it ! I cry for u Mariam and Laila.

LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD

From my book : POLITICALLY CORRECT BEDTIME STORIES


There was once a young person called Red Riding Hood who lived with her mother on the edge of the large wood. One day, her mother asked her to take a basket of fresh fruit and mineral water to her grandmother's house -- not because this was woman's work, mind you, but because the deed was generous and help engender a feeling of community. Furthermore, her grandmother was not sick, but rather was in full mental and physical health and was fully capable of taking care of herself as a mature adult.

On the way there, Red Riding Hood was accosted by a wolf, who asked her what was in her basket. She replied, "Some healthful snacks for my grandmother who is certainly capable of taking care of herself as a mature adult."

The wolf said, "You know my dear, it isn't safe for a little girl to walk through these woods alone." Red Riding Hood said, "I find your sexist remark offensive to the extreme, but i will ignore it because of your traditional status as an outcast from society, the stress which caused you to develop your own, entirely valid, worldview. Now, if you'll excuse me, I must be on my way."

Red Riding Hood walked along the main path. But, because his status outside society freed him from slavish adherence to linear, Western-style thought, the wolf knew a quicker route to Grandma's house. He burst into the house and ate Grandma, an entirely valid course of action for a carnivore such as himself. Then, unhampered by rigid, traditionalist notions of what masculine or feminine, he put on grandma's nightclothes and jumped into bed.

Red Riding Hoood arrived and said, "Grandma, I have brought you some fat-free, sodium free snacks to salute you in a role of a wise and nurturing matriarch." The wolf said, "Come closer, child, so I might see you."

Red Riding Hood said, "Oh, I forgot you are as optically challenged as a bat. Grandma, what big eyes you have!"
"They have seen much and forgiven much my dear."
"Grandma, what big nose you have -- only relatively, of course, and certainly attractive in its own way"
"It has smelled much and forgiven much my dear."
"Grandma, what big teeth you have!"
The wolf said, "I'm happy with who I am and what I am," and leaped out of bed. He grabbed Red Riding Hood with the intent of devouring her. She screamed, not out of alarm at the wolf's apparent tendency toward cross-dressing but because of his willful invasion of her personal space.

Her screams were heard by a woodchopper. He burst into the cottage and tried to intervene. But as he raised his axe, Red Riding Hood and the wolf stopped. "And just what do you think you're doing?" asked Red Riding Hood. The woodchopper blinked and was speechless. "Bursting in here and trusting your weapon to do your thinking for you!" she exclaimed. "Sexist! Speciesist! How dare you assume that women and wolves can't solve their own problems without a man's help!"

When she heard Red Riding Hood's impassioned speech, Grandma jumped out of the wolf's mouth, seize the woodchopper's axe and cut his head off. After the ordeal, Red Riding Hood, Grandma and the wolf felt a certain commonality of purpose. They decided to set up an alternative household based on mutual respect and cooperation, and they lived together in the woods happily ever after.

KNOW YOUR FACTS

Tak boleh bla oh mengancam.
Oh Yeah, I have this book.

No, as dirty as it sounds, its not. Its a book full of really cool facts that we don't know. Let me show you some.

WHY DO YOU CRY WHEN YOU CUT ONIONS?
Cutting an onion releases enzyme called lachrymatory-factor synthase which triggers tears. Scientists tried making a non-crying onion by taking out the enzyme but it seems that the crying enzymes are responsible for the zesty onion flavour. Hmmm, the most reliable way : order take out.

IS IT BAD TO CRACK YOUR KNUCKLES?
Cracking your knuckles isn't as bad as people think. The usual argument is that knuckle popping causes arthritis. Chronic knuckle cracking may cause a decrease in grip strength, but not arthritis. So what causes the pop sound? It's produced in the joints where bubbles burst in the synovial fluid(what?) surrounding the join. Cool eh?

WHAT CAUSES MORNING BREATH?
In Australia, the poo fairy comes at night to take a dump in your mouth.
Well only that part is cute. The others are boring scientific names haha.

WHY DO YOU GET EYEBAGS WHEN YOU ARE TIRED?
The skin around the eyes are the thinnest found in the body and this skin allows dark, venous blood to show through. They appear to be genetic. Easy way: eyes, meet sunglasses. Sunglasses, meet your worst nightmare.

WHY DOES SWEAT STINK AND STAIN?
Have you ever used the term 'sweat like a pig'? Think again. Pigs don't sweat. They don't even have sweat glands, which explains why they wallow in mud to cool off. Sweat is mostly water but there is a small amount of protein and fatty acids in the sweat glands that gives the armpit sweat that wonderful milky or yellow colour. Sweat itself is odorless whether it comes from the arm pit or any part of your body. The funk begins when sweat mixes with bacteria . Its called bromhidrosis -- foul smelling sweat.

WHAT ARE HICCUPS AND HOW TO GET RID OF THEM?
Hiccups are caused when the diaphragm becomes irritated and pushes the air rapidly up. Most cases of hiccups lasts for a few minutes. Some cases of hiccups can last for days or weeks. Hiccups lasting longer than a month are termed incurable. The longest recorded attack of hiccups is six decades. (awesome haha). You could try simple unproven cures:
1.Drink out of a cup from the opposite side of ur mouth
2.Eat a teaspoon of sugar and risking diabetes
3.Pulling the top of ur hair for 2 mins
4.Pulling hard on ur tongue

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT FART?
The temperature of fart at its time of creation is 98.6 degrees Farenheit. Farts have been clocked at a speed of 10 feet per second ;o Women fart as much as men (danngg) Most people fart 14 times a day. We can ignite farts! Due to hydrogen and methane released. There is some danger associated with igniting fart but fraternity guys doesn't seem to care.

Lastly,
WHY DO MEN HAVE NIPPLES?
During development, the embryo follows a female template until about six weeks, when the male sex chromosome kicks in for a male embryo. So u get the point.

Cool eh? Got lots more but u go buy the book lahh.

You guys may have watched the first movie, right? Well there's a whole series of them! This is the best series book I've ever read and I simply LOVE IT ! It's so awesome and I can relate to everything inside it. Ann Brashares is such a talented author. Oh you guys have to read these. I've only read until book3. Wait till I get my hands on the last one.

Seriously I love it. I could just read it for hours and read it again.
I love the fact that the author makes the book like our own mind ya know? Its like I'd be thinking the same think in that position yadayadayada. And the words used are amazingly satisfying in the sense that it makes me think about my own life. EXCELLENTE.

This series are meant for girls OK. Not dudes. Its about 4 best friends. Bridget, Lena, Carmen and Tibby. They've known each other since babies. One day, Carmen bought jeans and when they all tried it out, it fits them all but they're all actually different sizes. So it's their special jeans. They go through summers and have adventures and stuff and by the end of the day they write about it on this jeans. Please please I suggest you read it cause its I'm so attached to it.

They even have their own motion picture. I've only watched 1, haven't watched 2 yet. And yes, MEMUASKAN.
