FIXI


Pheww. Just finished reading Pecah by Khairulnizam Bakeri. I took quite some time to finish this, cause usually I will take like 2 or 3 hours to finish one book. This one? Several days. Haha. Don't even ask why. I guess I got caught up with other things instead of reading cause I've been stuck w two of those before. It's called Cekik and Zombijaya. Also from Fixi.

Oh wait, do you now what Fixi is actually? Haaa. I'm a newb myself. I just learned about them when a friend of mine lend me his book, Cekik. So that's my first fixi book. (if you want to start reading Fixi, please don't start with that. When you read it you'll know why) After that i'm hooked. You can know more about Fixi by clicking here. It's a novel publisher, and I think anyone can hand in their masterpiece with certain rules. First, the title of the book must be only one word. And the number of words must be around 60,000. I really salute those who can write this malay novels. Totally. If you read some of the Fixi books, you'll be astonished on how the writer even thought about the plot or words that he/she wrote innit. (or maybe it's just me, cause im such a noob on powerful malay words. sigh)

Another reason why i'm hooked on this Fixi collections is Kopi. It's a book too, but it's actually compilations of short stories from random writers. One of em is Redza Minhat. Now you know why ;)

I went to UIA Gombak the other day to buy it cause it's sold out online. God know how happy I felt when I got my hands on that book. Ahhh. Bought Kelabu and Bisik too! There are others that I didn't buy like Tabu, Invasi, Jerat, Kougar, Kasino and Dendam cause I thought the titles are too negative. Lol. Truth is all of their books mostly gonna portray a slightly bad example to kids but in the end their message is clear. Ey, better some good than nothing right? Plus, their covers are awesome. Just look at Pecah. Wait till you see Jerat's or Zombijaya's cover. Oh Bisik's cover is the face of a cat. Cool ey?


Well this is the full list of Fixi books right now. There will be more to come, and i'll be more than glad to read all of em. OH ANOTHER IMPORTANT THING you should really know, it's cheapppppp :D Like, the usual english novel will cost you how much, 30? 40? Even one hunger games book costs Rm 42.90. Well this Fixi books, the price starts from RM 15! Cool right?

Hee. I'm getting excited talking and writing that I didn't look at the time. It's 3.26 am. Thank god tomorrow's a Sunday. But I have a wedding to attend to. Better get to bed.

Oh another thing, they're gonna make a movie out of Zombijaya and Pecah. Zombijaya will be called KL Zombie and it'll star Izara Aishah. I think they're filming it right now. Pecah, i guess the movie would be awesome if they did it right. The plot's just amahh-zinggg. Haha.
