Another Book! -Lead like Jesus-

My boss bought me a book. When he come to office this morning, he said.. "Musa, I have something for you". He always bought something for the staff whenever he went for outstation. Normally it will be key chain or the shot glass with the place's name on it. So, it come to my surprise when he presented the book to me.

You see, my boss is a Malay Muslim, and to buy a me Christian book are sooo thoughtful of him. He told me, he attended Ken Blanchard (the Author of this book)'s Breakfast prayer in LA!! Thats when he bought me the book. Thank you boss! hemm... since when he thought that I'm back on reading?? and Christian book some more...

This is the book that I'm currently reading... the speed of reading on this one is not as fast as Found. The similarity of this book and the Found is the industry that the main character involves in. Sometimes, I get confuse as the information from found would sometimes get mixed up in this reading. As if the two books played on the same world. Have this happened to you before? Nah.. maybe just me... Oh did I told you that the book title Return have the same characters in Found? cool huh? Its no wonder I glide with the book so fast.

My gym buddy, TZ felt sick today... poor guy... he was sweating when we had late dinner after our workout session last night. He sms me this morning, that "he knows his body well" and decide to take mc for today. Thats a funny way to put it budy...


OK TZ... hope you getting well soon! wanted to start my PT session. cant do it on my own lah!

Zeger Musa?

As I was looking at the statistic of where does my blog visitors and reader come from, and something I saw that amused me. You see, as at yesterday someone was looking for "zeger musa blogspot". Hem.. who in the States that I know?.. hope its not my Boss who is currently in LA and due to be back tomorrow. But that seem hardly the case...
guess what?.. I just finished reading 2 of the books that I've bought last Thursday! and I'm on the 3rd book now... I love the "found" by Karen Kingsbury! I even turn down an invitation to another Chinese New Year party because I wanted to read the book! like the first book(return), my emotion did involves in the "found" journey. It was really a heartbreaking story when the son which was given up for an adoption, finally meet face-to-face his biological father who been looking for him. The part where he finally open up his heart to Jesus Christ, The part He witness miracles, when his friend was preaching on the street of Mexico City in Spanish, but he heard it in English!! Isn't that amazing? as the verse 17 in Matthew says...nothing will be impossible for you.. keeps flashing in my mind when I shed tears, longing to experience this miracle myself. I will hold on to this promise. Because you said it Father...

Current interest: Karen Kingsbury

As I realize yesterday, that I haven't read a book for a long time, I decide to drop by at Kinokuniya Bookstore in KLCC last night! And I have bought 3 books. I wanted to buy more, but I have to refrain myself from spoiling myself too much! I have to admit, when I was in college, I would buy the books that I wanted without doing much of thinking. But now as I am "working adult", I got to plan, so I won't end up empty pocket by end of the month. And I'm telling you, I miss those days where I don't have to plan.

The three books that I bought are; Karen Kingsbury-Found (My favourate!), Star People and the Understudy.. by two different author that I don't remember. I was about to buy Sophie Kinsella's new release title "Shopaholic & Baby", but it seem soo boring these days. If you followed the sequence of her books, you know what you're expecting. If you know what I mean. So, I have to let go or just put on hold until I've finish with these there.

Karen Kingsbury books are really heart touching stories. I know that because I read her book title "Return" before. Immanuel aka dalantau kindly lend the book to me although I know my sister Eliz have one which I doubt she ever read it.

I remember I had weep many times along the journey of "return" as I felt I was really in that stories itself. Would you classified me as an emotional kinda guy? coz, I have been assumed of that by some. And you know what? I don't care what women wants (WWW 8TV show)! ;-> the stories are beautifully written... Man, I'm sooo Anne of green Gables! man... I love Anne!


As I browse thru the Humor section, I found a book by Malaysian Author, Lydia Teh. Although I didn't buy her book, I manage to find her blog address, where I can read more about her stuff before I decide to include her's into my collection. Her Blog is called Life's Like That and it has a beautiful instrumental music playing on the page. me like it.

You know something weird and funny? the first sentence she (Lydia Teh) writes is "I hate to write and I love to write." thats contradiction meaning can be said in one sentence. Is that right? And the other day, when I was YM-ing with May May(Peeves), she said something like.. "I know you, but I don't know you." and as I said to her, thats sentences are a bit confusing but I kinda understand her. weird huh? And I remember someone in the office says that.." ...Its complicated, but not that complicated.." could that means.. medium complication? go figure!
