Assalamualaikum :)
It is approaching the end of Ramadhan, I am feeling both sad and happy. Sad to feel that this holy month is leaving so soon and happy to feel that I have become a better person after tarbiah insyaAllah.
Last week, the first time that I went to Big Bad Wolf book sale at Ipoh. Wow it was a huge crowd on the first day of its opening! I am not a book-lover as I am too lazy to read (Medical books some more to read meh zzzz it is addictive enough to let me fall asleep). I was walking back and forth the fiction books section but nothing attracted me to even look at it. Lastly, I stopped by this Literature section, I am amazed to see stories about animals! well, not as in comical books but it is a book valuing the life from an animal's point of view.

| Too lazy to read that I only managed to read one book. *Sleeps quietly |
The one that I picked was 'The Hen Who Dreamed She Could Fly' written by Sun-Mi Hwang, a Korean writer but the piece was translated into several languages: English etc. The story tells about a hen named Sprout that dreams to hatch her own egg without command and plan to escape into the wild world like any other animals, no longer in the barn!
It is an interesting masterpiece I would say! Let me quote this favourite line from the book:
"A few days later, the tree shed its flowers, which flew around like snowflake, leaving behind green leaves. The leaves lived on until late fall before turning yellow and dropping quietly. Sprout was awestruck as she watched the leaves stand strong against rough winds and heavy rain before fading and falling...."
See you on Raya day!
P/s: No baju raya for this year as my tailor could not make it on time. Lol feel like running an amok at her but I reminded myself to sabar sabar :D
