The Time Traveler's Wife

Assalamualaikum...

Off selama 4 hari kadang-kadang memang membosankan, lagi-lagi kalau tak ada apa-apa aktiviti. Huhu, sebenarnya baru je lepas off 4 hari, tak ada la bosan sangat sebab Na dengan Nor (sepupu) ada kat rumah. Tapi tak tahu la kenapa bila off lama je rindu sangat nak berkerja balik, bila dah kerja ni rasa nak cuti la plak, entah paper kan.

Sepanjang cuti ni berjaya habiskan satu buku, biasa satu hari dah habis baca tapi sebab rasa buku ni best jadi baca sangat-sangat la slow sebab sayang nak habiskan, hehe. Buku tu tajuk dia 'The Time Traveler's Wife', kalau nak tahu lebih lanjut pasal buku ni sila la baca kat wikipedia ekk. Sebenarnya dah lama dah rasa nak baca buku ni tapi tak terbeli la pulak buku dia, buku ni dah di moviekan jadi dalam bulan ni bila masuk MPH jek nampak banyak la promosi pasal buku ni, tu yang terbeli buku ni.

Jalan cerita dia memang best la, lain dari yang lain nak kata cerita science fiction tu tak jugak. Imaginasi penulis ni sangat la tinggi, kita memang selalu berfikir pasal time travel tapi Audrey Niffenegger ni boleh buat buku pasal ni. Cerita ni agak touching tapi tak ada la sampai buat Oda menangis, tapi rasanya ramai kot yang menangis baca buku ni. Movie cerita ni dah tayang dah kat US dalam bulan Ogos tapi kat Malaysia hujung bulan ni baru akan mula tayang, emm rasa nak pergi tengok la. Pelakon cerita ni adalah Eric Bana (Incredible Hulk) dan Rachel Adams (tak tahu cerita glemer apa yang dia berlakon).

My Favourite Quotes from the Novel

"Don't you think it's better to be extremely happy for a short while, even if you lose it, than to be just okay for your whole life?"

"It's hard being left behind. (...) It's hard to be the one who stays. "

"Maybe I'm dreaming you. Maybe you're dreaming me; maybe we only exist in each other's dreams and every morning when we wake up we forget all about each other."

"I go to sleep alone, and wake up alone. I take walks, I work until I'm tired. I watch he wind play with the trash that's been under the snow all winter. Everything seems simple until you think about it. Why is love intensified by abscence? "

"I'm sorry. I didn't know you were coming or I'd have cleaned up a little more. My life, I mean, not just the apartment."

"I hate to think of you waiting. I know that you have been waiting for me all your life.. ten minutes, ten days, a month.. What an uncertain husband I have been.. I have given you a life of waiting..Stop waiting and be free"

Nak tengok sangat macamana dia portraykan jalan cerita ni dalam live action, harap-harap tak akan mengecewakan la. Sebenarnya dah agak keciwa sedikit sebab hero cerita ni Eric Bana tu sebab dia bukan la antara hero kegemaran tapi mana la tau kan best dia bawak watak Henry nanti. Movie ni rate PG-13, apa maksud dia entah la tapi budak bawah 13 tahun tak boleh tengok la nampaknya.

p/s: Tak sabar lak nak tengok cerita ni.
