Salam.
Hi there.
Well..how do i start?
Do you have someone or something that you always look up to when you have problem, you want to make decision or you just need an inspiration to move on? Well i have a lot. i mean if someone like Matluthfi make a video about how suck korean drama is maybe i will stop watching them immediately. *pftt adakah lelaki itu ada kuasa veto melebihi ayahanda dan bondaku
Well, i can say that, yes we must look up to our parents but naturally teenagers will tend to hear opinion from their friends or someone they admire. and for me that person should be my favourite writer,NS.
i grow up to be the cliche teenagers that read novels just because i love to dream. and novels in the 90's and early 2000 seems to be full of romantic scene of love couples, the mushy scene of gaduh gaduh manja skandal orang ketiga...which is i think really have no relation with my current or future life. i mean in my life i never met a classmate who has Tengku in his name, nor some guy that damn bastard rich and arrogant but actually sweet and romantic. No. Never in my dream also. so i start to write story that i want to read. story that i can relate with me or people around me. but yeah i am even not very good at it.
and one day i read a novel series in Remaja mags (that have Adam as it's cover, i go crazy with him in back days) . It's call soal hati.I only read 2 page and really like the character Zulaikha & Sufian (they just so cool and the writing style is so simple but interesting). i fall in love with that story after buying the novel and start to trust NS's work.
i grow up with her novel, from secondary school until now i had finish my degree studies. her novels are something that i can freely look up to when i have problem, when i stress and need distraction. i know maybe some of my friends could not understand that. and maybe some of them would say
"why don't you read book from a more decent writer like H,FS, HA or bla bla..to find inspiration. They are more islamic and good too"
well, feel free to read their book. everyone has their style. but if you asking me why i look up for NS is because i can relate myself with all of her work. she is one girl that have travel to many part of the world in various centuries through reading. and her work is like the summary of what she know and what she actually do or see in real life. in simple word, she's realistic.
the most interesting part of her is instead of creating a fb account for fan, she receive all her fan as friend. she be like something that everyone can look up to, close to us. maybe that the type of person i prefer to look up to instead of someone just bluffing in their book try to teach this and that without actually touch the reader in the real life.
to be truth, i try to read various of style and genre, i try to not be too judgemental or defending in one side. i read SJ's & NK's book just to know the uglinest of human nature, H's book to gain confidence to become good muslim, HJ's book to see the perspective of knowledgable teacher, PMJ's book to become an effective muslim, RB's book to experience a logical fantasy story and many more. i can tell you none of these writer are absolutely right in all their opinion but at least that would make me think and rationalize each of them.
well you know what they say
al-quran is always the right book as guidance. so regardless human creation, you should always look up to Allah first.
