It's been a week since the last time I went for a book hunting. Right now I'm struggling to finish Breathe. Basically the second book out of eight books that I bought during PBAKL 2017. To be honest I love to buy books but need to find time to read. I have plenty of books that I have not read. Basically the books that I bought using my book vouchers, gift from the government to students. Oh God, I miss being a student. Where I have vouchers so that I can 'buy' free books. And I have time to read as well. Not forget to mention, the book that my uncle gave me as a present cause I am his favourite niece. Lol.

Right now I'm struggling to finish all the books that I had bought and struggle to find time as well. While I'm reading Breathe, I have this one imagination which I hope I am at a coffee shop taking a sip of green tea latte and sit with a partner who also holding a book in his hand.  Don't you think it is wonderful to have a reading partner ? You can share your thoughts about the book you read and vice versa. Then you talk and laugh together over silly things ? Damn it. Too many day dreaming.

I am reminiscing the moment when I was at Aloft Hotel, listening to Mr. Jamal's speech.  (Damn it, I forgot his salutation. Was it Dato' or Tan Sri 🤔?). Obviously I'm too lazy to google right now. I remembered he said 'Read. Find time to read. Whatever books you want to read. Just read. Cause there must be something you will get when you read.' I feel so motivated at that moment and feels like I need to grab a book instantly.

But Allah has spoken in Quran in sural Al-'Alaq first word in first verse.... Iqra' = Read. Read so that you can know your God. Allahu. #donedakwah

In conclusion (typical ending for a high school essay), when you read, you obtain something. Emotions, knowledge, satisfaction, love. Just read. Find time to read. Make reading as your hobby and you won't feel lonely. You will feel alive (Just kidding). ❤️
