  5. "ISLAMIC WAY OF LIFE"
    I've choose this book because this book discusses Islam as a way of life behind the religion..
    Muslim Life is a step-by-step implementation of the religion..
    Most people believe that Islam is a religion..
    This way of life was followed by people from Africa and Asia many millenniums earlier and until today around the world..

    Now,i've read the last topic in chapter 1..
    This discussion makes it clear that Islam begins with laying down the proper lines on which man's relationship with the Lord is to be reared;his entire individual and social life is an exercise in developing and strengthening this relationship..
    Iman,the starting point of our religion,consists in the acceptance of this relationship by man's intellect and
    will..Thus,Islam is actual submission,the way of surrender to the Will of God in all aspects of life and behavior..

  7. "Im curious, so please tell me:

    i)Why you choose that book?
    ii)Where are you at(chapter etc) and what's going on?

    Please make sure you are not plagiarizing anything from your reading material. Happy reading!" Said Guru.

    Then..

    I say, "Well.. here i am again.. huh..

    lets just continue with Guru's 1st question, that is, why do i choose that reading material.. okay, before that, the reading material is a novel entitled Twilight, written by Stephanie Meyer.. to be honest, i choose this novel because of the title itself.. i'm so curious to know what a novel entitled Twilight would be about... is it about vampires? ghosts? or a love story? well.. i think i'll find that out soon enough.. hehe

    for the 2nd question..

    for now, i hve just read only until the 4th page of the novel in pdf format as it is a digital e-book.. hehe.. meanings that i'm still in the 1st chapter, quite dissapointing.. huhu..

    maybe i have to be a little bit of a digital bookworm in the future, a worm that not much like the kind of daily digitalized
    worm that always ended up inside the safety vault or recycled bin by some highly protection anti virus, just a cute little pdf worm that like to read pdf books.. hehe..

    okay, hurm.. a little bit on what i've read, eventhough it is just a few page.. hehe..
    the story starts with the preface and the title of the first chapter, the First Sight.

    In the pages i've read, it is about a lady, the main character, she is going to move from Phoenix to Seatle.. in Phoenix, she lived with her mother and in Seatle, she will stay with her father, Charlie, a cop..as she
    arrived, Charlie shows to her, her new car..
    it is not very new instead, it is and old car, maybe from late 60's.. not really a car, in fact it is a truck.. that's all."

  9. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

    I choose this book because i only hve this english story book.

    I only read first chapter. the 1st chapter describe the situation when Snape and another person goes to meet Lord Voldemort. The 1st is very bored because the writer use 70% to describe the environment. For exmple , moon ,flower,road......

  10. Why I choose 'Confucianism'?
    It is because influence by my friend from China--Wang Tao.As you know, Confucianism is the Chinese ethical and philosophical system developed from the teachings of the Chinese philosopher Confucius. It influence Chinese's thinking values so much. But as a Chinese, I had only heard Confucius in form 4 history textbook but not really understand about Confucianism. So with study the Confucianism, I can more understand where my culture come from and how the moral values consist since 2000 years ago.

    What is going on in 'Confucianism'?
    Actually it is too many things you need to study about the Confucianism, like the rites, history and themes. Confucianism majority are talking about ethical and philosophical, for me it is quite difficult to understand it. So
    actually I just read some part of themes in Confucian thought. In the themes in Confucian thought, I had read about the moral values of ritual, relationships, humanity and the gentleman.
    In my opinion, maybe this are simple moral values for us but it is not easy for Confucius to starting teach and change
    human's mind since 2000 years ago.

  13. A lot of people ask me which book is my most favorite one,
    and I always proudly answer them "The Five Thousand Years History",
    which is all history about China and some apologues
    . This will be a long story for me to read this book.
    First time I touched this book is when I was 5 years old.
    My mother bought it to me as my 5-years-old gift. This is a really wonderful present to me,which is opening a history gate to me ,
    a totally innocent boy. I almost forgot the dinner after I read the first page.
    From then on, I was the historist in my class and showed my knowledge from that book to my classmeates.
    When I became older and older, I knew more about it and feel more confident about my own China. I am proud that I am a Chinese and I will make more effort to build a more powerful country
    and let Chinese history more brilliant.
    As me, this is the most important book in my life and now I still read it and recite some part of it. I think everyone should read it and get this wonderful experenice.

  14. The title and the topic discussed was interesting of course. The title was Mind Power (I'm afraid it's not a fiction, it's a motivative and informative book).

    The point the author is stressing on, is that our mind has more power over the body than the other way round. In other words, if we have a strong will, our body can heal almost any illness that troubles us.

    However, due to our heavy reliance on modern medication, we've stopped believing in the natural healing power that our body has. Many people would rather visit a doctor whenever they feel uncomfortable instead of letting their own bodies heal without medication.

    From the many examples given in the book, the author showed how people healed miraculously without the help of modern medication. This applies even for certain chronic illnesses such as cancer.

    Personally, I'm a supporter of his idea. Partially because I don't like the idea of wasting money on medication =P. More importantly, I think that we should let our body grow from fighting an illness instead of using medication to fight the illness instead. That is how our body 'level-up'. =)
    Not to mention the power of believing can be unimaginable.

  20. I have read a book that is called the " Ugly Duckling".This story is more interesting and it can let us learn more moral value inside it.
    From this story, we should be more confident to ourselves to become a successful person in the future and we also must be brave when facing failure...like the duckling is very ugly when small, but it will be a very beautiful swan one day later.
    So,all of you also can try to read this book.Hehe...

  21. I choose to read 'Mr Midnight' when there is a free time.Well,maybe you may feel that im childish to read a children' ghost storey but there is a interesting stories in behind.

    Many different chapters and stories that provide lessons and moral values that allow us to learn.There are many skills teaches us to run away from ghost if we see one someday if unlucky...=p

    The author used various type of defer words to describe the same meaning of action.This will directly lead us to learn more in using words.

    The chapters that i loved most is 'When there is fang in the upper room after 12midnight'.
    The story written that there are total of 4 children who feel curious had discussed to discover the truth.

    Many difficulties and horrible problems they faced when they almost saw the terrified creature in the room with the large ugly fang at the door side seem like calling them.

    Well,quite interesting rite? =p
    Try to read it when feel free.The book's price not expensive,if not mistaken,it's cost RM10 per book.

  24. I chose the "ghost blow light" this book is because I like something a terrorist themes. Which describes a lot about ancient Chinese tombs and geographical knowledge. Dead bodies everywhere, this book, though fictional, but the protagonist of courage and wit worthy of my learning and practice.
