It's not just a book, it's a story

Since the start of 2009 I have read 3 books if I checked correctly. Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer, My Best Friend's Girl by Dorothy Koomson and Marley & Me written by Josh Grogan. These 3 books are really good buys and it's gonna stay top 3 for this couple of months till I can find others to challenge it. They have something in common, they all managed to inject realistic jokes and humour in the story that made them so enjoyable. Just 30 minutes ago, I finished Marley & Me (you know, the book about a family and their crazy dog), at first with the sole determination to know the story before I watched the movie. But after a couple of pages, I was instantenously hooked. It's everything in one story- funny, mischievous, touching, romantic, cute, tear-jerking madness and sadness. I'm not surprised that it's such a popular book because pet owners relate to it somehow. There's definitely at least one familiarity in the story that one has experienced while raising their dogs. I can't help but feel a sudden urge to want to give my stinky dog an extra hug or a head rub everytime I put down that book. I'm slightly embarassed to say that I actually laughed (softly) to myself while reading it and towards the end, basically I shed real tears as I kinda know the feeling of what the author was telling in his story. Not as if I can control my tears..*going on the defensive*..it just overpowered me out of the blue.
My fellow girlfriends, you girls wanna read it? I think you'll love it. You'll devour the book like how Marley devoured everything in its way. P/S..yesterday I bought Confessions of A Shopaholic, because I wanted to read it before the movie reaches our shores.....and also because it was on sale (30% discount!).

Signs of boredom

This is how bored I am. The result of starring aimlessly at my pc screen to kill time.

Quick run through

Now playing : Sugarland - Stay

I've finally finished Breaking Dawn early this morning at 12.30am. It's kinda sad that it already came to an end so fast, I just couldn't get enough of it. Anyhoo, it's a good book, a good series. Time flies by just like that, I didn't have to put much effort into reading it. It just grabs my attention like an addiction. Almost cried a little at the end because it was a little touching at some parts. Never expected a bunch of vampires would make me teary-eyed...with joy anyway.
On a different note, on Sunday morning, I went to watch the Thaipusam procession. Walked from polo ground all the way to the Waterfall temple (not the one on the hill, I doubt I would make it up there). The road was closed and jam packed, good thing the whole road was shaded by gigantic trees.
Now it's Tuesday morning. This week is going to be another hectic week and I'm still not in the mood to get started with it. There's just so many things that is so disillusioning with work and outside of work. Waking up each day without a thing that I look forward to. Or maybe it's the weather that's making me cranky. I'm still waiting for Klaatu to come and make the earth stand still.
