The Terrorist - John Updike

Hmm..when u look at the title, u'll think this book describes about terrorists mind..their strategy and what not..that was my 1st impression...here is some review i found in the internet about this book...

Terrorist by John Updike is about Ahmad Ashmawy Mulloy, an 18-year-old boy in Northern New Jersey who is devoted to Islam. Ahmad was raised by an Irish-American mother after his Egyptian father disappeared when he was three. Ahmad converts to Islam at age 11 and is instructed in the Qur'an by a local imam.

Ahmad is a sympathetic character. Updike lets readers into his head, forcing us to view American materialism and morality from his viewpoint. Updike also draws us into other characters' lives--Ahmad's mother, a high school guidance counselor, an African-American teenage girl, a worker in the Department of Homeland Security. It was striking to me how lost many of the characters were. In many ways, Ahmad was one of the most thoughtful and moral characters in the story. That is a disturbing realization when you consider that he is being groomed to be a terrorist.

Indeed, just as the protagonist is a thoughtful young terrorist, the novel Terrorist is a thought-provoking book. It is clear that Updike has thought a lot about American society, the inner city and modern morality. His descriptions and complex characters compel readers to do the same.

Terrorist is not easy reading. I did not get caught up in the plot, and that was disappointing. It was easy for me to put the novel down after 25 pages, both because I needed time to process and because it did not always keep my attention. Updike is a great writer, and Terrorist shows that; however, everyone may not like the book.

his opinion is similar with mine..after reading it halfway, i hate this book..i couldnt find any interesting point in every page of this book..the way he describes about terrorist ambitious and determination are very weak and i hardly feel their action..and the ending is disappointed...maybe Updike lacked of idea during that time...or maybe he was being pushed by the publisher or his environment hehehehe

Another nice book to read..it's about crime investigation...i havent finish read it, so i cant give any comment now, however, after halfway reading it, i enjoy and find it's an interesting material to read..i'll give a comment later k..hehehe

SESAT

Good morning to myself hehehehe..n to those who are reading this blog..hope all of us have a nice day leading ahead us..So, i got something to share today...hehehe..it's some silly story from me...

hmm..as usual, i wake up at 6.30 a.m in the morning..and as usual i have to walk to LRT station in bndr tasik selatan from my aunt's house in kg malaysia raya, and as usual, this arrogant and stubborn girl declines her aunt's carpool service..she said, she wanted to exercise by walking to that station..hehehe...from bndr tasik sltn, i'll take an Star LRT to Bukit Jalil.. when i arrive at LRT station in bukit jalil, i have to wait for a bus to get me into TPM (Technology Park Malaysia)..

so..hmm...here the story began..in the bus, i saw one woman wearing mimos badge strip, purple in colour, so it means that her destination is as same as mine, so in the bus, i just waited her to push the bell..we started pass the UCIT building, we should start ring the bell after passing this building, but she didnt push the bell..n this stubborn homo sapien just waited there..hahahaha and the bus went straight until we reach in a green building, which i do not know what is that building for...n finally, there was one guy ringed the bell..unfortunately, the bus already passed mimos building for about hundreds meter...and i have to walk to my building...i cursed myself not to ring the bell earlier..while walking, the same bus came from behind me...actually, the bus will make a u-turn at the last building in TPM..and the bus stopped exactly in front of mimos building (means that stop exactly in front of me) !!!! and i was so emberassed by this incident because the same bus just passed me and that woman popped out from the bus!!!! she just looked at me and maybe wondered why i stopped at the wrong building just to reach the same building with her....

hmm the moral of the story is...just follow ur senior while u r in the bus with her/him hehehehe...

Jeng Jeng

I'll be watching ya!!!!!

BUSY?

What happen if God creates human with eight hands? Dont give 'busy' reason when it comes to family, because my parents never say 'busy' to me whenever i ask their help..busy is not the reason u cant have enough time in 1 day, if let say God gives us 25 hours in a day, we will come out with the same reason --> 'busy'...so it depends to us to manage our time wisely..i hope i can manage my time porperly hehehe

1st day working

hmm i just started my 1st day yesterday..at 1st, they ask me to report duty on 2nd of July, but since they didnt finish issuing offer letter to me, then they asked me to start on 9th of july..so i had 1 week vacation at my parents house n becoming my sister's driver to her school..


1st time stepped into MIMOS office, i was nervous, scared..hmm feeling that i might cant do my work..feel that it's going to be a hard task for me..because i never have any working experience since my bachelor degree..afraid to get along with the expertise..every negative feeling was popped into my mind...but then, when i started introduce myself in front of my colleuges and bosses, ive gained some confidence and wanted to be part of them...it's a good sign..


my 1st day was filled with non-engineering work..hehehe..where to get my temporary pass..settling all the documents...getting my email domain..i-vest machine registration and everything...the HR guy said that, they are going to organize an orientation day for new employees, maybe another 2 or 3 weeks..


and for my 1st day, i always get lost from one building to another building, from 1 dept to another dept..and i also get lost to surau..n i cant remember how to get back to my own dept!!!! hahahaha


the most important thing is,im now in kl..that's a relief...n i cant wait to spend more time with my friends and my hearttrob..hmm...
