Malaysian sweetheart

So, guess what. I've made friends with a Malaysian author, Lisa Lim, who is now residing in US.
What else can I say? How else would I feel?
I'm extremely proud of her. It's just amazing she could make it big there!
It just shows, even I could be like her!
Lisa, I'm looking forward to reading Confessions of A Call Center Gal! :)
You are my inspiration, sweetheart!

I've Got Mail!

Yay!
I got my free copy of The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake from Random House, UK!
Yes, it was awesome! I was over the moon. It was indeed air mailed to my doorstep, well in my case, mail box.
I need to thank Sarah Page from Random House. She was lovely.
And many thanks to Stephanie Pegler and Angela Smith of Chick Lit Club!

My To-Do List

Kevin Loh's To-Do List :
  • Reread The Single Girl's To-do List by the ever awesome Lindsey Kelk!
  • Reread Something Borrowed and Something Blue by Emily Giffin!
  • Study for my major exams this year in Dec. Yuck.
  • Buy I Heart Vegas as a pressie for myself for surviving high school!
  • Buy I've Got Your Number by Sophie Kinsella as the cheer me up pressie next year in February!
Honestly, I loved The Single Girl's To-do List. I wish my best friend(s) would create a special to-do list for me when I get chucked. Where are the Emelies and Matthews in this world?

Lindsey Kelk highlighted the perks of being single, eg. dye your hair red, paint curses at your ex while repainting the flat pink, get a tattoo, fall in love again, go for bungee jumping (or something similar), etc.
I loved they way Rachel has double personalities; Old Rachel and Redhead Rachel.
Thank you, Lindsey Kelk. I shall look forward to reading Angela's adventures in Las Vegas!

2012 will be a great year!

2012 will be a blast!
I mean, I can't wait for it!
I can't wait for my major exams to end.
The moment I'm done with it, I Heart Vegas will be mine!
Yes, it has been set to be released on December 8th.

My anticipation does not end there because Sophie Kinsella's next novel will be releasing on February 16th next year.
And it is entitled I've Got Your Number!


I'm already towards the ending of The Single Girl's To-do List and I've got to say, I'm loving every word of it. It's cleverly crafted to perfection. Lindsey Kelk, you are the successor of Sophie Kinsella. I'm so proud of you!

Something Blue...

Darcy is such an admirable character.
Yes, she is. Trust me. Read Something Blue and you'll agree with me, it takes a hard and long journey for a self-centred, deficit person to change herself. I guess I was a tad judgemental of Darcy in Something Borrowed. She has feelings too. She just wants to win everything. I guess I'm also a Darcy at heart. I like to win. Is it wrong?
Besides, albeit unlucky in love at first, Dex then Marcus then FINALLY Ethan! God, Ethan is just great. Wait. Awesome and compassionate, meets scruffy and simple yet easygoing.
Pregnancy did have a hold on Darcy's selfish character. She's much more refined and caring towards others and I have to say, she would make amends with Rachel fairly quickly.
Overall, I loved it. I'm awaiting Emily Giffin to write more about the adventures of Rachel and Darcy.

Good things happen to those who wait.. Or at least..

Hey! It's been a week, I think. Well I shall not keep you waiting and am going to kill the suspense!
Something Borrowed was AWESOME. I loved Rachel and Dex. But I almost feel sorry for Darcy. Almost.
Rach and Dex do make a lovely couple. They are both very witty and they compliment each other. As I'm typing this, I am sweating like a pig in a roaster oven. Damn.
What do I like about Rach?
Hmmm. Maybe because she cares about others rather than trample on others, exactly what Darcy does. She treasures her friendship of more than over twenty five year with Darcy. It's a fine line between love and friendship. Yes, sleeping with your best friend's fiancé when you're the maid of honour, classy. But why would you let true love slip away because he belongs to your best friend who is a selfish, spoiled bitch?
I loved it, absolutely loved it. Hamptons every weekend, count me in!

Perhaps something blue...

Surprise, surprise!
I got Something Blue yesterday. Isn't life sweet? My beloved aunt got me my "early" birthday pressie. I am so thrilled and excited to go home with 2 books!
Come to think of it. I don't think I'll buy any more books this year. Except The Single Girl's To-do List, a definite MUST-READ. Maybe Jemima J (I know I should be saving up for my future and it's my major exams this year, but that is not the point).
Darcy Rhodes. God, what a glamorous person. Perfect hair and body, beautiful charm and perfect husband-to-be, or in this case, ex-husband. Ouch!
Can't wait to indulge in the ups and downs of Darcy Rhodes as she struggles to find love and hopefully forgives Dex and Rachel.
Still more to come! Stay tuned!

New look!

Hi! I've decided to change my blog's look!
Hope you like it! I mean, I love it! It's so feminine and rich.
I feel delighted to look at it. I know, it looks a bit like Gossip Girl meets posh vintage!
I love it! I love it! I love it! I love it! I love it! I love it! I love it! I love it!

Something Borrowed shall be mine!

Hey, you!
Life's been good for me. Enjoying the City and I'm loving it here!
I watched Diary of A Wimpy Kid 2 and I was fidgeting, waiting for it to end. It was definitely not my idea. My cousins wanted to watch it while I wanted to go for Something Borrowed, but sacrifices must be made.
I had to endure an hour and a half of child problems and teen angst.
I couldn't wait for it to end as I know Something Borrowed was waiting for me in MPH. I had to contain the excitement!
Alas, I got it. Yes. And bollocks, I'm broke and it's only my 3rd day. Shit.
I can't wait to immerse into THE ADVENTURES OF RACHEL AND DARCY! x
