The Greatest View

This morning I had a chance encounter with the most beautiful kid I've ever met...I guess. I was at Popular Bookstore at that time. I was browsing at "Novel Remaja" shelves, (I know, I know...obviously I was at the wrong section...too old to be called "Remaja" but who cares) when he came on his own, browsing for children books.

He's probably 7 or 8 years old. What makes him so beautiful is the way he chooses his books. He browsed, he read synopsis and then he chose. All my life visiting bookstores, I never met any child of that age chooses his or her books without any help or guidance from an adult (I don't know where his parents were; most probably at other sections). I can't help but smiling to myself while watching him choosing his books.

He left the book shelves with two books in hand. I was in awe...he has so much freedom to decide what to read. His parents must be the coolest parents in the world! That kid must be very smart...and watching him must be the greatest view I've ever had today.

aku nak suruh yana menabung sendiri duit hasil sekolah untuk beli komik/buku kat KLIBF nanti. Malangnya hari2 duit dia tak berbaki... samada kena pow atau makcik kantin tak bagi belen.

Lepas tu baru perasan 22 April insya-Allah aku dalam pantang.. melepasla book fair kali ni. Sian plak dia nanti maybe suruh abah dia bawak kot.
