Hi :D
Long time no update, hmm?
Anyway, yeah; I guess you all have heard that my school's carnival day is cancelled right?
Well, it's not really cancelled per se - it's only delayed till further notice.
I want my money back if it's cancelled! );
Oh, and I finished reading the 'Arabian Nights' book I borrowed from my school library!
Yayyyy ! :D
Now I can go search and borrow other books - preferably classics.
I have no idea why, but recently, I enjoy reading all those old children/classic books rather than most modern books.
Hee, maybe going to borrow 'Good Wives' if the library's open tomorrow (ganti sekolah wht).
Oh, and I skipped school today. :|
Woke up late and mum scolded me - she woke me up earlier, but I tidur balik.
'toopid me; I actually wanted to go to school today! BOOHOO.
By the way, while I was reading 'Arabian Nights' while eating lunch with my mum after school a few days back, my mum suddenly told me a story which (maybe) berkenaan with all the stories in the book.
It goes somewhat like this;
There was once a sultan named Schahriar and he always had a wife an for a day and by the next day, she was killed and it kept on going like that UNTIL a smart girl who was forced to marry him thought up an idea to prevent her death, which is to tell the sultan a story a day and promising to tell him the ending of the story the next day; "You shall know the ending tomorrow if I were not to be killed", and she kept doing this until it reached 1,000 nights (some of the stories the girl told are in the book I borrowed) and the sultan lifted the death panalty and the smart girl became the sultana permanently.
So cool, right?
Oh, and I just Googled about this story and found this;
http://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/lang1k1/tale01.htm
(read the first story and then read the next, then read more if you want)
But I think all this is fiction, anyway. Haha.
Very interesting, though. (:
Favourite stories in 'Arabian Nights' based on the book I borrowed;
'The History of The Young King of The Black Isles/the fisherman stories'
'The Merchant of Bagdad'
'The Enchanted Horse'
'The History of The Young King of The Black Isles/the fisherman stories'
'The Merchant of Bagdad'
'The Enchanted Horse'
