Life Before Me

Yesterday I went to Popular and bought this book, Mahathir Mohamad's illustrated biography. It's a comic of his life story and I like it. The story starts with him borned as a small little baby. hehe.... After pages of it, I think he is racist since young. haha..

Lately I've been connected very much to older generation stories, especially the life during war.

I watch this 1.30pm drama, about life at China and all the war and poverty with no rice to eat and no money that forced them to steal. The love of a family that is so fine even when they don't have anything in life, but merely rice for meals. They eat watery porridge everyday. If there is rice for them, it would make them happy. Just the same way when we go buffet.

Then I watch another drama at 11pm, also about war, titled war and destiny. The story of Japanese ruler in China. They suffered very badly during the world war 2. The torturous act did by Japanese in the history is screened in the drama to create awareness for the younger generations of what Japanese had did to the Chinese.



I read this book, Frank McCourt. I'm in love with the book. It makes me feel so fine reading his memoir. I found this book at Jusco Bandar Perda when I'm back at hometown. The love story was sweet! And his life journey was inspiring. Of how from a man of nothing when he is 18 stepping into a land of America with merely enough money for him to survive. From there the story begins. Working as toilet cleaner, in Biltmore Hotel for his first job. I adores his passion of reading. He'll let himself hungry and run out of money but never fail to send the allocated money for his mother.

Then he was picked into the army when war at Korea struck and he did well there. In no time he become Leautinent and then Commander. Lazy to write further, but I highly recommend this book. You can easily find it in library.

I realise how grateful we are and shouldn't complain about life anymore when there are people worst than us right now and can still fill up their life properly.
