introspector: Membaca kerana kerja
http://rollietheodd.blogspot.com/2012/08/membaca-kerana-kerja.html
Books mostly. for now. plus other stuff. sometimes. Monday, 6 August 2012. Suka atau tidak, sebahagian besar kerja saya sekarang melibatkan membaca. Saya sangka sebagai seorang yang suka membaca, ini sesuatu yang mengujakan. Boleh jadi juga kerana kerja, apa yang ingin saya baca terpaksa diletak ke tepi. Adakah membaca demi kerja telah melunturkan keinginan membaca di luar kerja? Posted by r.o.l. Tak tahu la hang buat keje apa sekarang. editor kah? Heheh tapi nak share satu pengalaman lama la. Kerja saya...

Books mostly. for now. plus other stuff. sometimes. Monday, 31 December 2012. The Case Against Standardized Testing. Source: The Book Depository. Standardise examinations is a big part of the Malaysian education system. After 11 years studying in the mainstream public school, it's hard for me to imagine a different kind of education system, one that doesn't make you sit for examinations every now and again. Educationalist Alfie Kohn argues in his book, The Case Against Standardized Testing. With some exp...

Books mostly. for now. plus other stuff. sometimes. Sunday, 2 December 2012. The “Don't Be Sad” Diaries #2. Source: Ammar Books and Audio. Initially I wanted to start a series of entries based on this book. But lately work has gotten the most of me, and I'm unable to concentrate on what the book offers. I am. sad. to have to put this book aside and pick up other books. Because not reading can lead to sadness. Posted by r.o.l. View my complete profile. Bersama Kita Berusaha Untuk.

introspector: Growing Up in Trengganu
http://rollietheodd.blogspot.com/2012/01/growing-up-in-trengganu.html
Books mostly. for now. plus other stuff. sometimes. Wednesday, 18 January 2012. Growing Up in Trengganu. Reading Growing Up in Trengganu. Is like riding a time machine back in time, to a same place but a different period, because like Awang Goneng I too grew up in the coastal state. A common east coast word meaning friendly conversation). I'm surprised to discover how much the town of Kuala Terengganu is unchanged from Awang Goneng's time to mine. I could recall some of places mentioned, like Istana ...

Books mostly. for now. plus other stuff. sometimes. Wednesday, 2 May 2012. 40 Hadis Palsu Popular. Saya ada satu pengalaman buruk berkenaan hadis palsu. Hadis palsu berkenaan cara sahabat Nabi Abdul Rahman bin Auf RA masuk syurga. Menurut matan (teks) hadis palsu ini, Rasulullah ‘dikatakan’ telah melihat sahabat yang mulia ini akan memasuki syurga secara merangkak. Bagaimana pula orang lain, seperti saya, yang boleh dikatakan tiada sebarang jasa terhadap Islam? Alhamdulillah, saya bersyukur kepada Allah ...

introspector: Love in a Headscarf
http://rollietheodd.blogspot.com/2012/05/love-in-headscarf.html
Books mostly. for now. plus other stuff. sometimes. Tuesday, 15 May 2012. Love in a Headscarf. Arranged marriage may be seen by some as merely a tradition or even a violation of one's personal right. Maybe because the word "arranged" conjures up the idea that a marriage or love can planned in advanced and to them this sounds absurd. Is not a book that I thought it would be because it's at least 500% funnier than I expected. How would you take it if someone rejects you for not being tall enough? Fortunate...
