| My Wishlist |
Well, recently I often browse from http://www.kutukutubuku.com and trying to search the books that it will be great for me if I have some of them to read. Hopefully, I can buy some of them when I go back to Indonesia. The first tetralogy is about Pramoedya Ananta Toer's books. I bought one one of them already which is entitled Bumi Manusia. Well, my friend told me that the novels will be more difficult to be understood. Perhaps, Pramoedya used more difficult language usage or more complex events. But, I don't know yet. Let's see how it will be.
 
The next is about trilogy from Andrea Hirata. Many of my friends told me about this book. I am curious and as if I am really eager to buy it. Besides, my friend in NTU until asked someone in Indonesia to send the novel to him. Huhuhu...I also want these books. Basically, these novels are about the child life of Andrea Hirata in Belitong. I myself don't know about where Belitong is.
Yes, finally I know what my friend told me at that time. He said that he wanted to learn Javanese language after reading this book written by Romo Magniz Suseno. I was shy I think I have lost my javanese ethics a bit nowadays. That's why I really wanna read it to know at least how my culture actually is.
This is Aditya Mulya's book. This tells about the trip to Barcelona. I think I will be more interested in the travelling part. The story is a bit, sorry, unclear. But, I think it will entertain me much. One thing that I don't understand is why there are many authors in one novel. Let's check it out later.
Well, the last book will be about love. Many people said that this novel uses the beautiful words. Just now, I thought that this Gilli Land was in Lombok. In fact, this is the madura-speaking-people land. Well, this novel is about love in Gilli island between Suamar and Suhada. Well, from the reviews, this novel is the sad ending one. Hihihi...I think this will be interesting.
After calculating all, I think I will spend :
Anak Semua Bangsa is Rp 68.000,00Jejak Langkah is Rp 77.750,00Rumah Kaca is Rp 70.550,00Laskar Pelangi is Rp 51.000,00Sang Pemimpi is Rp 34.000,00Edensor is Rp 33.150,00Etika Jawa is Rp 35.000,00Traveler's Tale is Rp 40.000,00Matahari di Atas Gilli is Rp 60.000,00
So, totally it will be Rp 469.450,00 or about 80 SGD. Well, let's save money for books. Wow...in Singapore, I can only buy 2 books with 80 dolar. :(
yayay...excited

Name: -ian-
Home: Nanyang Crescent, Boon Lay, Singapore
About Me: When everything changes, I wanna still stay there calmly, and wait for the right time. I am surrounded by so called "radical" dreams. I don't know whether it is a form of idealism of a youth. But, be a doctor was my dream, but Physics came into me. ITB was my dream, but He gave NTU for me. Currently, I wanna be a high school teacher, researcher, journalist, writer, businessman, also want to study abroad again. It is unclear but it is fair. As far as I can, because I can jump higher as a true worshiper, as a true believer. Let me be a clay oh God, form me as You want.
