The Lake House

Tuesday, July 25th, 2006

How do you hold on to someone you’ve never meet?

Last week my girlfriend asked me to watch a movie "The Lake House"  I reply her ok y not coz i like Keanu Reeves. Then after that i heard fr one of my fren said "the show might be boring n shld pay for Keanu Reeves action movie n not romance movie. Then i was wondering is the show really boring? I doubt it. First of all, I dont really know the storyline bout the show n also Sandra Bullock she look kind of old n i like both of them in "Speed" for sure, but now for this romance movie I worry she dun match with Keanu Reeves already :p  So at the end i decide to go for it  but not really for the movie but for the accompany with my girlfriend coz i enjoy hanging around with them.

So we decided to watch on Tuesday, which is yesterday when after i got the tickets, one of my gf asked me "is this show boring?", I said i have no idea, but we cant do anything now coz we already bought the ticket so anyhow we have to go in n watch till finish.  After we have our quick dinner at I-Dragon, can i spend a little bit time to talk a bout this Restaurant I-dragon at 1U, yesterday is my first time to eat in this restaurant n I think it will be my last as well, oh man i really cant stand the smell inside the restaurant, smell like, pork mixed with oil….i totally lost my appetiate, so i just order for myself 1 bowl of wonton soup, cuz my gf asked me not to order their handmade "la mien" soup type coz is very strong flour smell..Ewww…flour i cant stand d smell too… But i really dun enjoy the foods, n the chair is not comfy also the bench is so near the table. Is only my own opinion n i know for sure lot of ppls must be enjoyed the foods there. Orait go back for the movie :p

The movie "The Lake House" was really sweet, funny & romantic. I like the movie a lot,i remember one part when Alex told Kate "dont worry I’ll take care of you" in the letter…wahhh… its really melt my heart :p Eventough they’ve never meet with each other but they do have a strong connection. But is only at the ending part i was confused a little,erm…shld I tell the ending? Nah….i dun think so i let some of u to go n find out. But trust me is worth it. If u just wan to sit back n relax u shld go for this movie, its sure touch ur heart.

What if tou found the one you were meants for?

But you lives two years aparts.

 

Can You Keep A Secret???

Monday, July 17th, 2006

Can you keep a secret? As for myself I think I can, well…for all my fren who been sharing their secret with me dont worry, your secret is safe with me :p I almost forget to do introduction of Sophie Kinsella’s Books. As for some of you might know this famous author Sophie Kinsella has been very popular with her book "shopaholic". She’s brilliant n i really enjoyed her book. She’s working on her fifth shopaholic book now. Tell u a secret i do not dare to read her shopaholic book, for those who know me well they know that i’m really a shopaholic which is very close to the character in "Shopaholic book" by Sophie Kinsella. Oh gosh….When i read the book description is almost like i see myself in the mirror i dun want tis wake up call now maybe not now as in soon maybe….Am i Becky Bloomwood? i dont really think so….I had read two of her book "Can You Keep A Secret" & "The Undomestic Goodness". But i’m here to share with you the book "Can you keep a secret"? I stayed up all night reading this book. It’s a great bit of chic lit with a few twists.

The heroine of this book goes by the name of Emma Corrigan. She is a junior marketing executive who is returning home to London after a business trip. Emma hates to fly and she winds up having a very bumpy flight. She begins to jabber on to the gentleman next to her about just about every subject in the world, and she lets all of her deep secrets out. By the end of the flight she realizes that she probably should not have shared so much personal information with a complete stranger, but she relaxes with the fact that she will never see him again anyway. Sometimes is very hard to keep so many secret at once, n at that situation u didnt even know wheter u’ll be safe or not so u just wan to share with someone. But of cuz after u know that u’r safe, u dont think u have the courage to face the stranger who know so many of your secret in one time. It’s so ashame. You wan to know what’s Emma’s secret?

Of course I have secrets.

Of course I do. Everyone has a few secrets. It’s completely normal. I’m not talking about big, earth-shattering secrets. Not the-president-is planning-to-bomb-Japan-and-only-Will-Smith-can-save-the-world type secrets. Just normal, everyday little secrets.

Like, for example, here are a few random secrets of mine, off the top of my head:

1. My Kate Spade bag is a fake.

2. I love sweet sherry, the least cool drink in the universe.

3. I have no idea what NATO stands for. Or even exactly what it is.

4. I weigh 128 pounds. Not 118, like my boyfriend, Connor, thinks. (Although, in my defense, I was planning to go on a diet when I told him that. And, to be fair, it is only one number different.)

5. I’ve always thought Connor looks a bit like Ken. As in Barbie and Ken.

6. Sometimes, when we’re right in the middle of passionate sex, I suddenly want to laugh.

7. I lost my virginity in the spare bedroom with Danny Nussbaum while Mum and Dad were downstairs watching Ben-Hur.

8. I’ve already drunk the wine that Dad told me to save for twenty years.

9. Sammy the goldfish at home isn’t the same goldfish that Mum and Dad gave me to look after when they went to Egypt.

10. When my colleague Artemis really annoys me, I feed her plant orange juice. (Which is pretty much every day.)

11. I once had this weird lesbian dream about my flatmate Lissy.

12. My G-string is hurting me.

13. I’ve always had this deep-down conviction that I’m not like everybody else, and there’s an amazingly exciting new life waiting for me just around the corner.

14. I have no idea what this guy in the gray suit is going on about.

15. Plus, I’ve already forgotten his name.

When she enters the office on Monday and learns the CEO of the company, Jack Harper, is in for a visit, Emma is horrified to learn Jack is actually the man in whom she confided on the flight. He knows everything, including that she hates her job and that she is not quite sure she loves her boyfriend. But Jack does not fire her on the spot; instead, he quietly replaces the office coffeemaker she hates and gives her advice about her personal life, which she finds infuriating. So why can’t she stop thinking about him?

Now the question is: Can HE keep a secret?

So i let some of you to find out yourself if u think that u wan to give this book a try. n y not?

cheerios!!!


The Wedding Diaries

Monday, July 17th, 2006

I found this wonderful author "Linda Francis Lee" I really like her books. I not finish with the "Simply series" yet so i dont think I’ll do any comment n introduction for Simply Series. Linda Francis Lee has an amazing writing style, she definitely knows how to grab the readers attention and keeps you interested throughout the entire story. But i had read two of her books, "The Wedding Diaries" & "The Ways Of Grace". I really like "The Wedding Diaries", is a rich girls becomes poor story - but finds love. This was a nice happy quick read with some great romantic moments. Max and Vivi are wonderful well writing characters. You will pull for them and cry with them.  I loved it so much I did not want it to end, I loved all the characters. I loved Vivi she is trying to prove that she is not this spoil princess that everyone think she is, she even wants to prove it to Max. I really think they’re perfect couple n really meant to be together eventhough some of the comments out of his mouth were too straight-foward and arrogant. I might smack a guy like him. But at the end I like him. And the ending of the book is absolutely wonderful. A perfect story for all you romantics.

Book Description
He may turn out to be the best gift she has ever received. . . SHE WAS READY TO TIE THE KNOT.
NOW SHE’S FIT TO BE TIED.

Texas heiress Vivienne Stansfield’s dream of being a bride was about to come true. But in a startling change of fortune, her safe, reliable fiancé proves himself to be neither–and her wealthy, eccentric father disappears, leaving her with no money, no explanation, and no choice but to find a job. Determined to prove that she isn’t the pampered princess the tabloids say she is, she seeks the position of nanny for sexy real estate mogul Max Landry’s young sisters. With to-die-for clothes and a heart as pure as her gold charm bracelet, Vivi steps up to the challenge. But how to resist her irresistible employer?

Max needs a nanny. But the last person he wants is a knockout who doesn’t know the first thing about taking care of herself, much less two young girls. But once she arrives, he learns that there is more to Vivi than her short skirts and high heels imply. And when she asks Max to teach her about the game of life and passion, this strong-willed man realizes that he wants to play for real, for keeps–and he has no intention of losing this woman’s surprisingly fragile heart.

I will be looking for more books from this author
