Twilight by Stephanie Meyer

I bought the book on Sunday and I finished reading the book last nite. I bought the book with recommendation from my sis Joanne. Actually I saw the book a couple of months ago and when I was reading the summary, it doesn't interest me all that much, so I didn't buy it.


However, after reading it, I have to admit, it was an interesting read.

Love between a vampire and a normal human being. With a hint of werewolves thrown in for good measure. Vampires and Werewolves, enemies as old as time. My favourite kind of story. Please note that this book is for young adults. (I still can read it what!!!! even though I am an adult and not a young adult)

The male lead, Edward Cullen......he is something like a greek god as the book described him. I understand the attraction for readers. Good looking, drives a fast car (this trait is the one that I like the most), excel at everything, fiercely protective of those he loves. It would seem like he has no weakness (except for the thrist of blood that is) Not to mention that he is the kind of guy that all the girls in the school would like to date except that Edward has bever shown any interest to them. Another interesting trait that I find interesting is that he has seen so many things (although he is 17 forever).

Another issue that I think its worth mentioning is that the female lead was described as quite an average Jane in her hometown Phoenix. I guess the attraction is there for us average people but for above average people to fall in love with us. Its the sense of self worth.

I am very tempted to go buy the rest of the series later. (They have it in Best Eastern)

2nd book of the Twilight series: New Moon

3rd book: Eclipse

4th book (released in Feb 2008): Breaking Dawn


But I do think that I need to study for my CPA. Sigh! I think I'll hold off the purchases for now. Once its Oct 25th....its my turn to go wild shopping!!!! hahaha Or else, I'll ask Bi to get the whole series for me as a reward for studying SO HARD!!!!!! (Bi this is a very subtle hint liaw le)

P.S. My exam is on 24th oct 2008, Friday. Wish me luck!!!!

There have been so many instances where I came by my blog and I want to blog about so many things in my life. But there were also as many instances where I just gave up and kept my thoughts to myself. I am 34 years old in 2017 and soon I will be another year older. I am getting more jaded every year because of the things that I have seen. I also feel aimless. I feel as if I am meant to do something more than this. I do not want to wake up and go to work Monday to Friday and so happy when its Friday and becoming depressed when its Sunday (coz the next day would be Monday) It's not like I want to be a millionaire or something like that. Even though money is still important (Hey, I still gotta eat, cant very well grow my own food), it no longer hold the same position as compared to a few years ago. I do not care very much for status as well. Its all so fleeting. After being married in 2013, I am still childless at the moment. Its not by design but I dun mind it all that m...

Unveiling

I was so excited yesterday. Someone called and told me that it was ready for pick up. What is ready for pick up? What makes me so excited? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . What else would make me so excited other than cars? Woo Hoo!!!!! Subaru Impreze STi !!!! How cool is that? Bi fetched me yesterday around 5pm to pick up the car. I could not sit still at home. Was feeling so excited. STi has 3 settings, Intelligence, Sport and Sport Sharp. I read an article online saying that the Intelligence mode makes the STi crawls like a snail. Hmmmm, their exact words not mine. So Bi and me took the car out for a short drive. We were kinda disappointed with the power. It was then we realised that the setting was at intelligence. OMG!!!! When we changed the settings to Sport Sharp, the power is unbelievable. Its like 3 times faster and more powerful. We hit 180 km/h in less than 2 minutes (mite be less if not for those few turtles on the road). In the past S15 will need quite some time to hit 16...

After you by Jojo Moyes

After I read Me Before You by Jojo Moyes  a few years ago, I was waiting for the sequel. What would happen to Lou after Will left? What would her life be? If I am Lou, I will constantly ask myself 'Why am I not enough?' 'Is there anything that I could have done to change his mind?' 'Was it all just me? Just in my mind?' In this sequel, Lou was a wreck! But it's understandable though, she had just lost the love of her life. She has lost someone who had shown her the different aspects of life. Showed her that the life she have had is so unbelievably small. There is so much more to live for. Showed her how she could have made a difference! I couldn't put the book down and I finished it within 1 and a half day. It was strangely compelling. You will be rooting get for Lou all the way. Although there are times that you can't help but get angry with her! 'What was she thinking??????' There was a part in the book that addresses the length of ti...
