road to freedom...

one more day to go before i finish my industrial training...huhuhu...adios to en amirul and ayu....

chameleon chronicle

huh...what a great title right?
I'v been meaning to tell you about a book by Mark Burnell and the title is 'Chameleon'.Yeah, I'v enever heard of the author before but judging a book by its cover, I decided to borrow the book from USM library.The tagline boost 'A heart-stopping thriller to rival Robert Harris(who?)' and 'one woman, one man, nine passports' are pretty lame right but when I finished reading the book,wow,a major wrong-impression I've had. Honestly I've never read any fiction with this kind of storyline before and from ratio 1-10 i give Burnell a 9!!! To rank him, he would be in between Dan Brown and John Grisham.Apparently there are some praise by another author Boris Starling who wrote 'Messiah'(makes 'Silence of the Lambs' look like 'Alice in Wonderland') of Burnell.
To cut the suspense, I'll put in some excerpt from 'Chameleon'. I hope I'm not breaking any laws...
" Magenta House. An organization that doesn't exist, run by people who don't exist. An ironic consequence of the modern era. In a time of greater openness, somebody still has to get into the sewer to deal with the rats. I don't know how many assassins Magenta House operates-four or five, I should think, perhaps six- but i do know that I was unique among them. They were simply trained in the art of assassination. I was trained for more. Operating under the alias Petra Reuter- a German student turned activist turned mercenary terrorist-I was taught to infiltrate, seduce, lie, eavesdrop, steal, kill. I learn how to withstand pain and how to inflict it..."

"...The next time I wake up, my headache is worse. I shrug off the coat I'm still wearing. There are dried droplets of Bergstein's blood on the right sleeve. I knew from the start that I wasn't Petra Reuter. When Alexander saw me in Provence, he must have suspected it too. He only had to look at me to see something he'd never seen before: a physical ripeness, peace of mind, a life in balance. My softness was corporal and emotional, in equal measure. It was arrogance on both our parts to assume I could ever claw back the brutality I once had. I carry on drinking, then pass out"

Well that was Stephanie Patrick aka Petra Reuter.To my suprise(I've suspected it before), Burnell has already 3 books under Stephanie Patrick series and the latest coming out May this year titled "The Third Women", the others are The Rhythm Section (1999),Chameleon (2001),and Gemini (2003) . He also wrote Freak (1994), Glittering Savages (1995), Zoo Station(2003).So this mean, I'm going to need more time to catch up with Burnell and probably Boris Starling too...
Huh, so many to read yet so little time. The problem is now, how am I going to get ahold of all his books?

note:LOOK FOR-
1.Robert Harris, Fatherland (1992)
Enigma (1995)
Archangel (1998)
Pompeii (2003)
2.Charles Cumming, A Spy By Nature (2001)
3.Boris Starling, Messiah (1999)
Storm (2000)
Vodka (2004)
Visibility (2006)

"Malas Itu Aku"

yaa...malas itu aku dan aku itu malas...
walaupun malas namun ku gagahi jua mencoretkan sepatah dua kata di dalam blog ku ini...
walaupun malas, aku dengan malasnya ingin memberitahu bahawa minggu hadapan tamatlah penderitaan aku semasa praktikal/latihan industriku.
namun, akan bermula pula episod baru hidupku bergelar pelajar Tahun Ketiga (Tahun Akhir) sains Biologi di mana aku akan menghadapi projek pula.
setiap pelajar tahun akhir jurusan ku perlu membuat projek tahun akhir berdasarkan tajuk yang dipilih.
semoga aku mendapat pensyarah yang mampu memberi bimbingan dan tunjuk ajar padaku.
semoga projekku sukses.
pesanan akhir dariku, jangan malas....

~aku yang poyo~

B.O.S.A.N with a REALLY BIG capital letters!!!

i'm so bored to death despite having some work to be done at the lab.it also make me think whether in the future (actually quite close unless i'm lucky to do my Master,PhD whuteva) i could survive working in a laboratory atmosphere.my supervisor got himself (i'm not sure if that is how it's done) a week off for the school holiday but we're stuck in the G0DaMN lab full of giggling girls (am i not one???) and a bunch of loud-talking amois to babysit us.i'm also fed-up with doing the same routine everynight (read:from the beginning of my practical) that include: reading storybooks (emphasize on storybooks NOT other kind of thick scientific books), watching CDs, making up mind what to have for dinner or where to have dinner and bla...bla....
hey my practicals are not that bad actually because at least i learn something that might benefit for my 3rd year project.but the point here are between interesting,beneficial and bored.interesting because i learn something new, benificial for my final year and also bored to some extend of considering to re-arrange all the bottles full of chemicals in the lab so that it'll look all neat and sparkling.
luckily, i could spend the weekend at my home for the 3rd time in a row.it's also because my roomate also decided to 'balik kampung' so i don't to stuck at the hostel with the same routine i did during weekdays except i'm on my own and on Sunday i'm not sure which cafe is open.nah, spending the time at my home would be much better offer.
i'll leave you with a song by muse 'showbiz'--
