Few weeks back, my mom cleared my room. She re-arranged the furniture and luckily she did not paint the room with PURPLE COLOR!!!! hahaha.. I found a box full with my story books way back when I was young:-
My SWEET VALLEY's collection!!!! I have SV Kids(a lot), Twins (countless), High (a few), n U(a few)!!! So for the past week, I have been re-reading SV Kids & Twins!!!!!! kelakar tau! The pages have turned yellowish.. betul2 di makan zaman. When I was in primary school, SV series were very popular among girls. At lunch time (1hr break), you will see every girls in my school (Sekolah Sri Garden) holding SV books, and we even did a swapping! At that time I became a 'nerd', each time before school holidays, I will borrow SV Kids book from the school library. I have few collections on my own and some borrowed from the library.
And then my dad introduced me to Nancy Drew series when I was in Form 1. I became a fan instantly. The collection too, looks old and the pages have became yellowish. And again, library is my favorite place to hang out! And everytime my parents brought us out, book stores visit was a MUST!
Now I remembered, when I was in kindergarten, Enid Blyton's series was a must read book! My very first book was about a naughty goblin. My very first Malay book was Si Tenggang. The story was my bedtime story. I like the story so much. So when I asked either my parents or grandparents to repeat it, they will say, I have to learn to read so that I can read it again and again. When I tried, it was difficult. I told myself, how can may parents/grandparents pronounced all those words. Like 'ber-lari, men-cari, menangis, etc' hahaha... So everyday, I will learn to read few lines until i mastered it!
fuh!
