Firstly, things that Jodi mention in this book just kind of hit home. Andrew Hopkins does magic tricks for the residents at the senior citizen centre. Words like ’sleight-of-hand’ and ‘illusion’ bring back so much memories for me. I used to know someone who did magic. He influenced me to do magic too, so I [...]

IMM

IMM is the place to go if you want to get basics. For those of you who don’t know what ‘basics’ are, they are design-less pieces which are my, and should be your, fashion foundation.
Guess what? I just got two racerback tops (I just found out that they are called racerback tops and not tank tops. [...]
Air-stewardess

When I saw the notification for recruitment of air-stewardess in the SIA website, I was delighted. I have always dreamt of being one of those pretty girls I see on the airplane and going to all sorts of places.
The interview is on the 27th of January. I really wanted to go. Even if I can’t [...]

I seriously don’t know what kind of luck I am having today. Everything was fine when I started out. I went to Jurong East Popular but they don’t have the book I am looking for. The kind staff said that the Popular in IMM might have that book, so I went to IMM. It turns [...]
Plain Truth

I am not sure if there is really this group of Amish people who lives in a place in America called East Paradise, but this book definitely provides one interesting read. Presuming that this group of German people actually exist, this book provides a fascinating insight into the Amish community.
The intruding ways of the Amish people, coupled with a [...]
Songs of the Humpback Whale

I have to say, I am a bit disappointed. I was really expecting a good read, seeing that this is one of Jodi Picoult’s books, but I am sadly disappointed.
The book goes back and forth in time, till I am quite confused about the whole story. The ending is quite interesting, but the content of [...]
Wild Swans

I have seen this book in national libraries many times before, but I never picked it up because I thought it would be dull and boring. The coverpage is not attractive with just pictures of three women, against a light green background and the title and author’s name.
About a week ago, I was bored stiff [...]
Cute Thing

I was blog-hopping and I found this on Nadiah’s blog. This is for Nadiah:
I like Nadiah.
Nadiah is cute.
If I were alone in a room with Nadiah, I would talk with her.
I think Nadiah should dress up more.
Nadiah needs confidence.
I want to be like Nadiah.
Do this for me too, especially those people who are in my links. [...]
New Year Resolution

Okay, so a new year is here, but I really don’t feel anything special. No shouts of joy, no feeling of happiness.
Yes, Pattie have answered me that the Reading the Author Challenge ends in December 2007. It seems that I have just missed it. It’s okay, I shall just make it my new year resolution [...]
