The Kite Runner

The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini

One of my friend borrowed this book to me last year, and told me "you must read it"... I've been putting off this book in bookshelf for a while....and so happend another friend of mine recomended me the same book as well...and he gave a very good comment

So, on CNY 2009 long holidays, i grabbed this book with me everywhere i go and I'm using 4 days to finish and watch the movie as well...this phrase "for you, thousand times over" really impressed me...and this is a very touching story and they make it a good movie....

Herewith my little summary for this novel :

"While Amir takes us primarily on a journey of redemption, Hassan takes us on a journey of love. He says to Amir, "for you, a thousand times over!" and this lines connecting Amir's destiny with Hassan. After 26 years, Amir giving this redemption to Sohrab (son of Hassan) "for you, a thousand times over!""

And now, lets check the cover page and more description of this novel (there are many version of coverpage for this book but I've choosen the cover page that i read)..... here we go....

"Taking us from Afghanistan in the final days of the monarchy to the present, The Kite Runner is the unforgettable, beautifully told story of the friendship between two boys growing up in Kabul. Raised in the same household and sharing the same wet nurse, Amir and Hassan nonetheless grow up in different worlds: Amir is the son of a prominent and wealthy man, while Hassan, the son of Amir's father's servant, is a Hazara, member of a shunned ethnic minority.

Their intertwined lives, and their fates, reflect the eventual tragedy of the world around them. When the Soviets invade and Amir and his father flee the country for a new life in California, Amir thinks that he has escaped his past. And yet he cannot leave the memory of Hassan behind him.

The Kite Runner is a novel about friendship, betrayal, and the price of loyalty. It is about the bonds between fathers and sons, and the power of their lies. Written against a history that has not been told in fiction before, The Kite Runner describes the rich culture and beauty of a land in the process of being destroyed. But with the devastation, Khaled Hosseini also gives us hope: through the novel's faith in the power of reading and storytelling, and in the possibilities he shows for redemption."

Over two years on the New York Times bestseller list, and published in 42 different languages. (Eveyone here, please grab it in any bookshop at your preference languages.... :) )

Newly Joined Fitness Club...Here I Come!!!

Wednesday, February 25, 2009 , 11:04pm Silent Night.
(Hippopo is in Headache)

By refering to the previous post, I hereby to annouced that i failed to attend the rest of the classes after the day of my posting and the membership is expired and i'm not allow to attend the class held in that studio anymore (unless i pay for another 3 months, but surely i will not do that) and now, I'm FREE....and not tied into any fitness club anymore:) :)

As usual, after meeting with Hannee(one of my close friend) for dinner last 2 weeks, we decided to hunt for a new fitness club which is located at town area as Hannee is moving to a new job in town recently, So we have to find some places nearby her working place to keep us in touch while we can do the fitness there as well.

We have list down several places and at last we are into this fitness club located at kelawai road....this club really impressed us as we entered.

On the following week, we decided to drop into the club for 1st trial, and using the facilities (such as steamroom, bathroom, locker, fitness equipement, group exercise class(although hannee felt down from the fitball..hhahahahaha...sorry, can't stop laughing here) but, it does not effect the decision in our mind:) :)

Anyway........

After reading the book "Confessions of a Shopaholic" I know I should list down the benefits of my decision. I should not spend the money with no reasons and not benefits us ;>

So here we go....

1. Steam Room Facilities
2. Personal Lockers
3. Usage Of Towels, Workout Shirts & Shorts (so...i got no excuse to skip the class anymore)
4. Bathroom and Dressing Counter (with cotton buds and hair dryer provided)
5. Group Exercise Classes (I loved dancing)
6. Stay Healthy
7. Stay Fit
8. Stay Touch
9. Drink Reception Counter (it provide free water, coffee and some biscuit, but unfortunately there is no Marrie biscuit that i like (probably,i will propose them in a comment box later :) :)) and lastly, the major benefit is
10. The Car Park is FREE ( this really help us to save a lot)

See, we got 10 reasons to join this.....we can't refuse it, with 1 minute consideration, we filled in the membership form and heading to reception counter to make the payment for 2 person (It have promotion for joining package and each one have to pay RM80.00 per month instead of RM90.00)) and of course i'm not using my credit card (i pay cash to Hannee later).....and now Hannee in my top debtor list, sooooo, i treated her for 10 pcs lok lok at gurney hawker stall after leaving the club (as a interest :) :) )

Unfortunately, i can't take any pictures to share here as the club is only for ladies, so i have to respect the privacy for all the ladies over there and this is also one of the reason i joined this club. :) :)

till then, guess what is the Fitness Club that both of us joining.....free drinks given away for the 1st one who can guess it....

There is nothing inside the bag except a membership card that I've enrolled on 22 of September, 2008 and the expiry date shown 22 December, 2008....1st thought in my mind is 'eii, how come it still valid :(' instead of "Oh yeah, luckily it is still valid'.....haha......So, no choice, i got no reason to skip the classes anymore and i have to go back to workout from tomorrow onwards to finish up the points that I've paid. It still have 22 classes to go....(i need more 100 plus) ;) ;)....

Using 15 mins for digging all my stuffs eg, sports bra, pants, shoes & socks and using another 15 min to select my fav sport suits (by trying pcs by pcs, to make sure it is still fit into my size) and finally i've decided to wear pinkish sport suit for tomorrow class, before dump everything into my workout bag, I've took few pictures to share here and show what are the stuffs inside my workout bag.....so enjoy viewing!
