i wish i could drive so that i can drive myself out at this hour to wherever i want to be and just cry my heart out and scream out all my frustrations.

maybe it’s a good time to learn now, bang a few curbs and cars, give myself an adrenaline rush..

I’ve been eyeing on it for a long time. My long time means two weeks. I usually don’t get interested in buying novels featured at the entrances of bookshelves or bestsellers, but somehow, this book caught my eye at Popular bookstore. Okay, I admit that I judge books by their covers. It has subtle swirls with flowers and butterflies! XD I got more interested when I read the synopsis. It’s about this woman who has a walled garden that mysteriously blooms all year round. She tends to that family garden from which she makes her delicacies – famed and feared for their magical effects. She has everything she thinks she needs until one day a stranger became her next door neighbour and a vine of ivy crept into her garden.

I’m just really curious about what happens in the story. Reminds me of those witchy stories. So I decided to get it, but I wasn’t willing to part with my RM32.90. I’m not the type who spends on novels. Then, two days ago, I had a Teacher’s Day gift from the kindy: a RM20 MPH gift voucher! Wheee! =D Eugene and I thronged One Utama’s MPH just now just to look for the book. I passed by Atonement, and had second thoughts about Garden Spells. Then I decided I shouldn’t be fickle and continued looking for the latter.

It was quite difficult finding it – I did not expect it to be labeled under Chic Lit. -_-” So, I’m going to spend my Teacher’s Day gift on a chic lit. Uh huh..  I could’ve bought a nice craft book or orchid book, but I’m currently more interested in craft mags (they’re cheaper) and I’m not really in my orchid mood at this point in life. =p

I’ll be burying my nose in my new novel for the next few months. Yeah, I’m a really slow reader. And to make the book more worthwhile, I read it very s-l-o-w-l-y, stretching it as many days as I can. I dunno.. That’s my idea of making my money paid for the book worth it.. quite weird I know. As a result, I haven’t finish many books. Heheh.

Books I Wanna Read:

1. Atonement by Ian McEwan
2. The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
3. Stardust by Neil Gaiman
4. The Life of Pi by Yann Martel
5. many other books which I’ll add here

Anyone who has any of these, can pinjam? =D

Today started out as a sort-of uneventful day, as Mum didn’t want to go shopping and I had tuition questions to set anyway. I was on the computer the whole day, typing on Excel and nosing on other people’s facebooks.

It was then I saw my childhood friend, Wei Inn, online and I chatted with her until Streamyx decided to cari pasal and screw up my connection.

It was then that I discovered something sweet between my former Form 1 classmate and my friend from college. =) The world is so small! And somehow, I don’t feel I’m alone anymore.

It was then I searched for a long-lost friend through facebook whom I used to hang out with when I was seven at our babysitter’s house. He was eight then. We used to nap together in the living room every afternoon during school holidays, ate lunch together with the other kids, spent the day playing games, do all sorts of things together. Both of us were the older kids among seven or eight other younger ones.

It was then I tried to find another kid from the same babysitter who is five years my junior who migrated to Perth with her family. I think I found her.. not sure yet, until she replies.

Facebook rocks!

It was also then I tried to find my dad through Facebook. To no avail.. yet.

Can’t you just show up?
