Handle with Care – Jodi Picoult

I just finished reading a book today.

As always I love Picoult’s books. They are interesting, dramatic and really pull on your heart strings.

You go inside the mind of five characters – the mother who gives birth to a child who has a rare case of brittle bone disease; a neglected daughter; the father who can’t support his wife’s decision; the best friend who’s being sued for medical malpractice, and a lawyer searching for her birth mother.

I highly recommend this book to anyone, guys and girls alike. In MPH (where i bought it), it was classified under Women’s Fiction… but its not. Its not cheesy or lovey dovey or ditzy in any way as some chick books are. It tackles a problem with feelings and … well I’m horrible at reviewing anything, but this book is truly amazing.

I give this book a 5/5 :D

Here is a quote from the book that just struck me as I read it:

“It’s no surprise to me that –in baking, and in life—the cost of growth is always a small act of violence.”

The way Picoult writes this book is very original as not only is it written in first person through each characters eyes, but it also has little recipes in between chapters and has a way of comparing life to baking, something which I found really cute.

On to my next book: Testimony – Anita Shreve

If I had children…

If i had children with famous ppl… I think my baby would be quite cute hehe. I found this site called MorphThing.com and it takes two faces and morphs it. So i fiddled around a bit.. and this is how my baby would look like if I had a child with:

Johnny Depp

 

Jude Law

 

Takeshi Kaneshiro

 

Hahhahaa. I guess mixed babies really do end up looking better. Lol. They’re all so cuteee. :P

I wouldn’t having a child with any of these men. Come get me ;)

Happy birthday to Me~ 

Celebrated my birthday by waking up at 7.30am and heading to the Safety Driving Centre for a 5hr lecture on the safety of driving and the theory behind it. Right. The lecture which was suppose to start at 9, did not start till 10. =.=” and i sat in a classroom for an hour doing positively nothing. Luckily once things did get started, the lecturer was quite interesting and cracked jokes, so i didn’t really fall asleep (also considering the fact that I was sitting in the front row).

For dinner went to sungai buloh with the family for butter crab at this place called the Jungle Hut. Then came home and had me a nice cookies and creme ice cream cake :D.

I’m NINETEEN. but don’t really feel any more older/mature/changed. Heh… birthday i guess are quite overrated.

Meeting clare, maddie and naina tmr for a late bday lunch :D so that will b fun.

I can’t see nicole tho. :( She just came back frm the country of swine flu (australia) and hence i hav to avoid her for at least a week before i can meet up with her. the heart grows fonder with distance, no? :P

In Malaysia Again

So I’m back in Malaysia. Such a freaking hassle to get here.

Thanks to Dana SO MUCH for helping move all my storage stuff to Melissa’s place.

AND thanks to Melissa SO MUCH for letting me store my stuff at her hall for free.

AND thanks to Tian Han SO MUCH for sending me off at the airport and helping me carry my bags there.

STUPID tube had to strike at the worst time possible. I had to make so many trips back and forth.. bus to tube to train to walking. gah fuck RMT. Friday had to move the rest of my stuff to Mel’s place since I was flying the next morning. Never have I passed through one tube station so many times. Tapped in and out of Russell Sq station at least six times >.<”

Anyways, screw that. Its done and over with. I’m finally back here in Malaysia. Jobless, but nonetheless back here. :D Can’t wait to start meeting all the people and eating all the food and learning to drive as well.

****

Dana arrived in London to be my manual labour. hehe.

Me, Melissa, Loong Jie, Alex and Dana took a trip to Alton Towers. While I was waiting for them at the train station, a police officer approached me and started questioning me ‘cause I had been standing there for about 10-20 minutes already.” he asked me where I was from and what I was doing there and stuff.. and then he asked for some ID, in which he proceeded to write down my name, height and race… I asked him why he needed my details and he replied with a comforting, “dun worry, if you were a terrorist I’d be taking down more of your details. This is just for records to show I talked to you and identified you.” WHAT. do i look like a terrorist MAN! =.=” Haih.

Anywys, Alton. Lemme intro to you the main attraction there. The OBLIVION. :D

They hang you at the top there for 2 seconds before vertically dropping you into a black hole. Hehe. I love it :D IF I had more time, I’d definitely have gone on it again and again. Only me and Alex rode it though, the others were too chicken pok pok. :P

As Dana was here, Me, Melissa and him took a walk to Regents Park where we had a small picnic with Bucks Fizz and Walkers chips. :D

Yep yep. My update so far. Watch out Malaysia. Here I come :D
