Strong World Guide Book

i couldn't resist getting this from Kinokuniya yesterday.



*dreamy sigh*

i need to improve my japanese language.

or at least learn my katagana again.

visit the movie thread on Kaizoku Fansubs if you haven't already done so. the excitment is just overwhelming.

ah gu, let me know if you want a copy. most likely i'll be going down to Kinokuniya on Thursday to get some other stuff.

i'm feeling it again

the SaiMon withdrawal.

had just finished the latest novel (book 14) last week.

and though i still have other books to read (Tokyo Babylon, and the even longer Narnia series), i'm still pining after SaiMon.

it's also probably because book 14 ended with a huge cliff-hanger, that i'm dying to know what's gonna happen next.

Yukino Sai-sensei is a fantastic author.

book 4 of the side-stories will be published in chinese end Nov.



it'll probably be enough to curb my withdrawals for a while.

but i still wanna know what's happening in the main story.

arrggghhhh!!!

tuesdays with Morrie

wednesday morning, on the MRT to work...

the moment i started reading this book, i had to constantly sniff back tears that threatens to roll down my eyes... i know i know, i cry too easily... but can you really blame me for loving this book...

i'm sure everyone who read this book is somehow touched by the story... as yomay says, it's one of those inspirational books that if you're a sentimentalist like me, you'll totally fall in love with... or if you're one that likes more drama and brain-thinking, might think this as boring...

thank goodness i'm the sentimentalist and closet-bimbo...

heehee... i really am a closet-bimbo... and i'm not afraid of saying it loudly and proudly... i'd rather read books that do not require me to think too much...

plus if i'm reading brain-bloggering books, i tend to keep thinking abt the storyline, even when i'm not reading it and wouldn't stop til i finish the book... it's juz too tiring to think so much over a book...

give me bimbo or sentimental books anytime.... =P

anyway, i finished tuesdays with Morrie after i got back from my AU supper outing at birdy's place...

couldn't read the last few pages when i was in choir juz now, cos i could totally feel my tears at the back of my eyes... this is something i could only do in the safety of my room...

i shall not be like my dear biao-mei who cried very badly in the MRT over a manga even I didn't cry over...
(that's for saying i'm slow, =P)

to the other pple, read the book... already regret not reading it much earlier... *sighs*

tp, thanks for lending the book to me...

20 Big Lies in the DaVinci Code

something forwarded to me by jessica... even though i did pass down to a few pple, thought it better to paste the link here... so more pple can haf access to it... even those that randomly juz happen to pass by...

article taken from May 2006 issue of the Charisma magazine...
20 Big Lies in the DaVinci Code

for Da Vinci Code fans, better to get your facts straight than to trust the book wholeheartedly...

ps. nope, i haven't read the book myself yet... will do after i eventually watch the movie...

Princess Diaries

i think it's an after-effect... after reading 3 books of the Princess Diaries series, now, i have a tendency to want to write like Mia Thermopolis... but i'm gonna have to refrain from that, or at least try to...

as i was going through the 3 books, it made me remember the time when i used to write diaries when i was in primary and secondary school... i still haf them with me... something to laugh at if i ever bring them out to read...

yomay, thanks for lending them to me... looking forward to the 4th book, even though u said it's not as good as the other 3...

checking out the new releases at The Anime House and La Tendo (i haven't gone there for more than 1mth, for fear of buying more stuff when i'm obivously poor), and TAH has just shipped in 2006 organizers and refills... as much as i'm super super tempted to get them, especially since they also haf the One Piece edition, the more pressing issue at hand is...

i need to get a new PDA...

i really do... lately, more than ever... especially with all the driving lessons and more and more hectic schedule due to the fact that camp and Christmas is around the corner, i need PDA that doesn't die on me cos the stupid battery is never fully charged no matter how long i charge it...

and apparently, my memory, is juz slightly better than that of a goldfish... fyi, goldfishes only has like a 3-sec memory, not that they ever haf a need for a longer memory since their only job is juz to swim around the tank all day...

my thoughts are super random and i almost always forgets them like 10min later... it gets bad when i know they're important to me now, especially if it involves camp or something... ugghh...

think i'm gonna spend a portion of my bonus at the end of the yr to buying a new PDA... having a One Piece organizer is tempting, but in the long run, a PDA is more practical... i'm gonna look through yahoo auctions for cheaper ones...

things to look forward to this week:
1) Just like Heaven - with meow meow on wed... coincidently, my sis & JM are going for Harry Potter, same day, same time, same place...
2) friday kopitiam invasion... no place yet though...
3) Linda Ho's wedding on sat...
