Sembang Ngeri (Buku Fixi) by Gina Yap Lai Yoong

okay dah gedabak sangat ni. wkwkwkc.

Joanne, Samuel dan Rehan tiga sekawan mahasiswa filem yang bercita-cita besar untuk maju sehingga ke Hollywood. Kegilaan mereka: menghasilkan skrip-skrip yang menampilkan pembunuhan sadis.

Skrip-skrip mereka selalunya ditolak oleh profesor, yang merasakan ceritanya tak berasaskan logik. Namun, segalanya berubah menjadi menggerunkan apabila berlaku siri pembunuhan sebenar yang mirip skrip-skrip mereka.

Trio itu saling mencurigai. Apabila pembunuhan semakin mendekati persekitaran universiti, keadaan bertukar cemas. Adakah pembunuh NGERI itu sememangnya salah seorang daripada mereka?

Setelah akhirnya tak baca buku, okay tipu dah baca himpunan cerpen Kopi hari tu. kali ini membaham pula Ngeri. kenapa baca Ngeri dulu? sebab Kelabu nak save dalam bas nanti. hewhewhew.

Rebiu saya untuk Ngeri ni, banyak main imaginasi. Ye saya dah boleh teka jalam cerita dia macam mana. Tapi tak boleh pulak nak kabor dekat sini, kan? Nanti tak syok pulak korang baca.

Melalui cover tu je saya dah dapat rasa thriller dia. *pasang background Thiller-Michael Jackson* tak mudah nak karang sebuah buku thriller. Sebab tak semua orang boleh imagine macam mana budak tu disumbat dalam peti ais. Macam mana orang dicucuk dengan dawai. Macam mana tubuh dikerat kerat. Macam mana nak sambungkan tombol pintu dengan elektrik kan? kan kan?

Selain tu untuk penulis bukan berbangsa Melayu nak tulis sebuah novel Bahasa Melayu, memang power gila lah. Pernah seorang sahabat kata, kalau bukan Melayu bagus berbahasa Melayu, dia paling terbaik. eh? wkwkwkwkwcc.

Selain tu, pembahagian watak penting dia memang betul. Memang menyeluruh sampai kita tak jangka siapa pembunuh sebenar dia. Sampai satu masa.......

Tapi secara keseluruhannya saya syak semua tu macam pembunuh dia. Awak syak tak? Wkwkwkwkc. Tapi selepas baca bab kedua dan ketiga saya dah tahu siapa pembunuh dia kot. Saya syak je. Tapi a well done job by Gina Yap Lai Yoong. Siapa yang suka baca horror selain dari majalah Mustika (read : lame) tu boleh la mengarahkan diri anda ke Popular Bookstore terdekat untuk dapatkan naskhah Ngeri ni. Kalau tak pun order online di Kedai Buku Fixi.

Overrated. 6 over 5.

Conversation: Mental Health and Self-care

We had a conversation in the car. About mental health in workplace. It was a very sensitive topic to me since I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Having bipolar means the depression is worst. The period is longer. Then BAMMMMMM mood swings, anger, eating disorder, grieve, anxiety came along. But we were talking about it because I was a high-functioning person with bipolar disorder. I didn't get medication for more than two months now, and believe me, everyday that pass by is just me throwing my body to the wall and breaks like a piece of ceramic and pick myself back again with bare hands. It's hard. I didn't get medication, I didn't get counselling, I didn't get psychotheraphy. I was struggling to do self-care, I was struggling to sleep or wake up. It was a battle everyday, and to think about it, I just started a career. I was marching in a battleground every morning. Mental health in workplace has been recently a raised topic in Mal

Book Review: Tirani by Beb Sabariah

(This is the finest picture of the book that I can find on the web) The theme and story line is purely on women. Say it to me, I am feminist (grin) hewhewhew. This book is about a woman (Waheeda) who is obsessed to beauty, until she decides that she wants to do plastic surgery. She is tired of being mocked that she is ugly. At the same time, she was a managing a tourism company in Sarawak. Yes, it surprises me that the whole story line talked about Sarawak, and I finally realize the beauty of my own land. Because when I picked this book out of the shelves, I never thought that it took place in Sarawak, especially Kuching. Those roads that I am really familiar with. Towards the end of the story, her husband, Zahid left her because he thought that she was cheating on her. Waheeda struggled and became single mom. Brought up her daughter, Izzati until they met again. The struggle of women caught my eyes for this novel. I really want women to be look up as the one power that

Book Review: Seronok by Saat Omar (Buku FIXI)

(I believe what is more catchy is the book cover!) Thanks to CAIS UNIMAS, I finally can read this book. The theme of the story is about homosexual -- Amirul is falling for Bakar. For me, I've been looking for this type of story in Malaysian literature, too bad I started with this one (after all I always loved Fixi books). I am studying on transgender and their 'relatives' and being homophobic at the same time. Trying to understand why people don't accept them. I actually accepts them, but not allowing them continue being one. Because? It is wrong of course. However, nice story line, the composition and the maximum usage of the characters, I love them. Especially Amirul because he actually told everyone he is a gay, but not to his mother (how ironic!) And few critics on arts and films, it blends well and towards the ending ----- a gay can actually change to a normal guy. Why? Because woman belong to man, and so vice versa.
