Well, I've just finished The Single Girl's To-do List by the ever fabulous Lindsey Kelk. I have to say, I'll miss it. Yes, although I've read it twice, but I will miss having Rachel as my new best friend.
I can't believe it but I Heart Vegas will be out on December 8th, followed by I Heart London on August 2nd.
Thank you, Lindsey, for your super, super amazing present to me!
Now, on with The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake. Again, thanks to Random House UK! :)

Miss me when I'm gone!
As it seems my country has "National Service" for high school leavers. Which means I might be targeted to leave home for 3 months to survive in a sordid camp site in the woods.
Yes, I've just discovered yesterday that I am in fact, have been "shot" to be in the national service program. No, I am not happy, thankyouverymuch.
I'll be leaving in mid-December, hopefully. I hope so. Fingers crossed!
By the way, I think I'll be seeking solace in my novels, which I hope is not prohibited in the gritty camp.
Anyway, please miss me when I'm gone.
I have finished Something Blue last Sunday. On with TSGTDL :)
Oh, and I bought my first ever classic novel, Jane Eyre!

I did it again!
I missed Rachel and Darcy. So I decided to read Something Borrowed and Something Blue again!
I've just finished Something Borrowed this morning! On with Something Blue!
Then probably after that, The Single Girl's To-do List, perhaps?
After all, they are such good novels that ranks up to Sophie Kinsella's!
Well, I've got to read The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake too! But I haven't got round wrapping it yet, who could blame me? School's been really hectic lately.
I mean, you don't see other schools in other countries which requires students to march for bloody sports day! Luckily, I'm all set to endure the blazing heat when I have my Nike white visor (similar to Maria's).
I had a breakdown yesterday while watching Wimbledon's Ladies' Singles Final. I couldn't deal with the fact that Maria was playing well, despite her shoulder injury, but lost to Petra (who in my opinion looks like a turkey, her mouth resembles the beak and her body is fat and wide while her legs are skinny!). Other than that, I think I am enjoying my weekend!

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!

Kevin Loh's To-Do List :

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.
