Books, books, books!

**I am so sorry, but you'll have to tilt your head to the side to look at the picture. No matter what I do, blogger just won't upload it upright.

So, this picture has been taken since February. I've been meaning to show the books I've read for last year but stuff got in the way. Well, the story of my life.

I was just going to forget about doing this post, but hey reading is an achievement. Even though it is what one of my former lecturer used to say toilet reading material. Yes, he's a snob. Boo for him! 


Okay the picture above are books that I have bought. I didn't really like Jodi Picoult's Sing Me Home but it's the one that I read during my hospital stay for El's birth.

But Sophie Kinsella's (writing as Madeline Wickham) are very good. I really like these style much better then her Shopaholic series. Now, fans don't kill me but I felt like throttling Becky. How can a person never learn their lesson, again and again? 

The Tennis Party is the best! Someone who seems well off does not necessarily means that they truly can afford it. It's comforting to know. So, no more grass is greener on the other side thought.

Marian Keyes' Angels is a nice read too. The heroine kind of resonate with me. All her life she had strive to do what is right for everyone. Went to college, check. Married the right man at the right time, check. But somehow she ran away with her best friend to the City of Angels. Okay, I'm not going to up and leave anytime soon. But I can somehow relate to her feelings.  



The one above are borrowed from my friend who's also an avid reader. And she's very good at choosing them. I love, love, love reading her books. Or maybe because it's free? ^_^

And that reminds me that I have yet to buy book for this year. Off to Times!

It's been a while...


I always complain of not having enough time to blog. And yet, I managed to spend the whole day reading other blogs, internet-window shopping and even read posts in Facebook. Mind boggling. Or maybe I’m just plain lazy. All the bad news of the world perhaps had left me uninspired to share pieces of me-can’t you guess from my uninspiring title? Too much stuff going on left me little room to enjoy the solitary needed in writing. In addition of reading wonderful posts in other blogs left me feeling inadequate as a blogger. Probably lost my mojo.Or maybe I’m just plain lazy. Excuses, excuses.

Okay. Now that I’m done feeling sorry for this blog, here’s to share some stuff that has been keeping me busy in reel world (~_^;).

 Sometimes El becomes Bono's plaything. In this instance he insist that she wear a 'hat'. Safety first!

 When the time is right, they do play together. Bono kidnap one of my laundry basket and both spent few days having fun with it. Unfortunately the pile of used clothing keep on growing that I had to reclaim the basket. 

Anyway, those two piccies are taken from my now dead handphone. Thank goodness for smart card! Nah, I'm not going to bore you with how-I-lost-my-almost-brand-new-handphone tale. Well, maybe in another post. And that remind me to set a Tabung Milo to fund for a new one. Can you really make money online? Anyone? I've just checked my Adsense account and it is still empty. Heee.

Then there's my younger sister's wedding that happen ages ago. (Nah, Putat some teaser for you. The rest will have to wait as your lovely sister is very, very busy.)

As the bride and groom were busy whispering...

We were busy doing these:

Entertaining these kiddos requires teamwork.

When the brother cannot be bothered to sit still anymore, we HAD to take these pics. One with the dad,
And another one with the beautiful mom
^_^ Heeeheee. 
 A little bit of peace and quiet.
The peace and quiet lasted just for a few moments. Luckily the mass had ended. Picture taking time!

The beautiful sister is behind the camera. But you can just imagine her beauty by looking at her offspring... 
My favourite picture! The beautiful one is in the middle. Taken by hubby. I married him because he always managed to make me look pretty. Hahaha!

Okay. Till, next post!
