review

just got back from taiping, and, ohmigod, what a freakin' tired week. my parents went to Manila last week and just got back yesterday night. they went from Manila-KL-Penang-Taiping.so they arrived quite late at night last night but it doesn't show. hahaa. souvenirs? i got two shirts with statements on them-one in white and one in red. they are super tight, literally speaking. i stand amazed at how my body finally having found it's curves. =)

the whole last five days have been literally devoted and endured by looking after Ari. that much has made me look more like a walking zombie each day. she's a one tough kid, especially during the nights...i barely doze at all, imagine. i remembered last night, when Mak and Abah were still tired and i have gotten my hands on Ari over the week, when she wouldn't go to sleep. she has had milk every hour in full bottle and still was bright as ever. so i gave up putting her in her buaian, instead, i placed her next to me on my pillow where we both turn sideways and to prevent her from falling over, i wrapped my arms around her. as long as she's asleep, she got all the comfort, i got all the backpain. next morning, everyone said how cute we were cuddled up together. hahaaa, pretty strange.

ohh i bought a nice new book, called THE LOVELY BONES from Alice Sebold. the initial plan was to get the whole set of Twilight (yaa i know, i'm just starting) but the only bookstore in Taiping ran out of them and they had this translated version called Senjakala and after reading the first line, it turned out to be written in Malay-Indonesian. i should have known. so i got Lovely Bones, because i followed a beaty guru on youtube and on blogspot and she mentioned that the story is now being filmed in Hollywood and that she had been reading the book since a kid.i'm still down the last few chapters, and i'm not upset. it's about a girl being killed-family all changed and grown up-girl observed from heaven-how murderer eventually died-family and girl moved on. hehee, you notice how i make it sound boring? it's not, actually.


and i've watched Avatar, like i said i would. first thing on 17th Dec. i wasn't dissapointed either. i love movies like that. super awesome.what can i say, i love Jack Sully, Grace, Neytiri, the Na'vis, all of them.you rock James Cameron!


i noticed i haven't yet made a review on Say You're One Of Them. well, all i can say is, if you're a fan of inspirational and motivational stories, you should try this out. the book is not that easy to understand, at least for me, because it has a mixture of African language and the grammars got all jumbled up.but you'll still get the story in the end.

"When the dead are done with the living," Franny said to me, " the living can go on to other things."
"What about the dead?" I asked. "Where do we go?"
She wouldn't answer me.

-bits from The Lovely Bones. doesn't it always feel like the other way round?
