Shamanka

HEY. Anne. Remember you bought The Other Book and I bought Shamanka?

I finished Shamanka!!!! It is totally awesome. Totally unpredictable. Trust me. This is waaay better than Twilight series in a lot of ways. [No offense, Lisa.]

Hurry and finish The Other Book! Then we can exchange. NyaHAhaHa.

Twilight Series


Okay. This isn't going to be and of those arguments on [whether Harry Potter fans are stupid to think that Breaking Dawn ruined the Twilight Series] like Phyllis would most probably write.

No. I'm just going to expressed my love for the series as accurately as I can in words.

First of all, I absolutely love the series. [Even though I've only read up till Eclipse. >.<]

Okay, on with it.

Firstly, the writing talent of Stephenie Meyers have attracted me completely. Her skills and ideas are absolutely original. You can ignore the book for a few months, but once you start reading the first page, you'll be hooked on it until you finish the book. As for me, I am kinda picky. I choose a book by it's cover, title and brief introduction. I never read the first page until all three conditions are fulfilled. And that's also why I've missed quite some good books. However, this book just captured my heart the moment I saw it.

Secondly, this is a fantasy novel. It may not be logical, but it still seems logic enough to me. I can practically feel the love between Edward and Bella. It seems real. It is real. The bond between the Cullens are what I wish for my family to be. Although they aren't blood related, they have this sparkle within each and every one of them.

Finally, I love vampire and werewolf novels however supernatural it may be. But, it still has to be more realistic. Stephenie Meyers doesn't make it too hard for us to believe the story. In truth, her vampires and werewolves are just like human, just with a bit more abilities.

As a conclusion, this series is no doubt worth reading. If you may doubt my ability to judge, then I have no arguments. But believe me, many will say the same.

PS: I'll be getting Breaking Dawn this Sunday. Then I'll get Midnight Sun in December, once it's out. Yay! >.<

1 Litre Of Tears


HMPH, if no one will update, I will update. :P

During these pass few days, I've been crying a lot.
First, Chinese Orchestra. Second, the show I've been watching.

But before that, I want to introduce you guys to a really really superbly touching show and book. Titled 《一升的眼泪》, this title is actually for the original Japanese version of the book. But now, it's mostly called 《一公升的眼泪》. Watch it, or read it! You won't regret it!

That show, made me cry the hell out of my eyes. It's actually been a really long time since I've cried like that. It's like when I'm scolded really badly only will I cry till like that. But then, it's really weird if I was playing the computer until halfway then suddenly I cry mah.. So I keep the computer to myself. Or else my Dad or Brother might think I've gone crazy.

To tell you the truth, I've actually gotten used to crying. I'm amazed by how my tears are able to keep on flowing non-stop without drying up. Now I feel weird. Cause I've finished watching the show and my crying hours are gone. I feel weird not crying. I want to cry. I suppose I was just taking the opportunity to cry then.

Anyway, I am super super uber touched by that show, man. I wanna buy the book.. Lalala lalala~~

Then, I'm going to learn Japanese, as in take Japanese classes. The truth is, I'd been teaching myself Japanese a long time ago. Cause my Dad learnt Japanese before and still has the "text book" with him. So I borrowed it to learn. Unfortunately, I suck at teaching myself stuff. I'm better at Romaji. But suck at Kanji. :D

I wanna learn!!!!! XD

Anyway, back to the main topic. The show, "1 Litre of Tears", seriously made me cry 1 Litre of Tears. So prepare a tissue box beside you when you watch it. Or else your shirt will be really wet.

Just To Let You Know

I bought 3 books today- 一米四八, 屋檐小插曲, 已亮的天空.

I love 已亮的天空 best! The writer is 冯以量, rhyming with “已亮”.
Said writer is an instructor who "talks" to the people who has "issues". He has a corner in the magazine 《中学生》 and he writes about the patients that he encounters there. His writing is awesome and so very touching.

The book tells about his childhood, his life. It is really very touching. No kidding. I cried when I read it. Seriously.

Buy it! It's good.

*Now I feel like a sales person. -.-*

PS: I bought it in school. LOL.
