Very cute and fun-loving story. This book convey it's own story in diary-like writing. A young girl, 6 years old whom other might perceive as tomboy growing up to be woman, kindergarten, high school, college...yada, yada. I didn't expect anything. Childhood story, with the mind of a child talking about football, neighbour, childhood friends, friendship. etc. That friendship would eventually turn into never ending frustrating question, will she realize it or not?
Basically this book is a life itself.
Jayden - the main character here.
Philip - the friend who never took a role/spotlight. being him the supporter
Danny - the friend who share something common
I kept thinking about this. I tried to read the next book, nothing compares to this. This book contains the innocence of friendship, love and family. Which is why I consider it's a cute story.& no I don't like "The Wedding" that much. Hoping it would stop just that.

Hi,
I was wondering whether I should stop blogging or not. Life quite hectic. But no, maybe not. Just yesterday a friend from my GR past invite me to a group, reminding myself that I shouldn't keep away things that make me happy. These days I've been sitting in front of computer for most of the time-FYI-working. yes, i'm working for distraction, though my relatives said it's too much. I wonder what have I missed.
Ini tentang Cerpen oleh Nadia Khan. Buku yang dipinjam dari PNM eLib sebulan lepas. A great quick read. Perlu fikirkan untuk buat koleksi memandangkan genre cerpen dalam rak masih boleh dibilang dengan jari. Macam ulasan Cerpen 40 sebelum ni, saya (bersopan guna saya pulak! puii) nak ulas satu demi satu juga. Mana Dia Pergi? Cerita pasal seorang lelaki di rumah orang tua. Cerita ni buat aku terus nak menyelak. Puaka Pak Jaha Whoa. Memang akan rasa cerita ni akan berakhir dengan kisah seram, tapi tidak. Ada satu perkara yang buat kita sebagai pembaca musykil, ubat gegat@ naftalena itu masih ada dalam rumah tersebut selepas bertahun-tahun ditinggalkan?? Sah! Tersilap pandang fakta sains bahawa naftalena meruap pada suhu bilik. KECUALI penulis ada nyatakan bahawa mereka jumpa ubat gegat tu dalam bungkusan plastik. Pinjam Masamu, Kak Ini cerita sedih, baca sekali menarik. Tapi untuk second time...meh. Lara di Hati Cikgu Din Antara cerita paling patut ada banyak dalam kompilasi ni. Dulu ada seorang cikgu kat sekolah *metadologi mengajar 'beliau' sebijik macam cikgu Din. Kendian, satu hari masa sesi baru lepas cuti, tiba-tiba cikgu tersebut pindah. Tetiba macam nak pindah Sweden time tu. [Acah je :D ]
ps: dorang cakap Sweden punya pelan pendidikan terbaik kat dunia. Betoi ka? *metadologi:
(métodologi) sistem yg merangkumi kaedah dan prinsip yg digunakan dlm sesuatu kegiatan, disiplin, dsb.
Teleportasi Science fiction. Terfikir kenapa sci-fi di terjemah jadi sai-fai? Fiksyen sains patutnya jadi fi-sai la kan? kan? Cerita dua perempuan sekawan yang volunteer berbayar jadi bahan ujikaji sains untuk satu eksperimen teleportasi berpasangan dengan dua lagi yang juga ahli makmal. Eksperimen itu berjaya rasanya tapi ada kesan sampingan pada salah seorang dari mereka.
Janji Kak Long Best [tapi sebenarnya tak berapa suka sebab ada unsur sedih] Nasi Putih Daging Cincang Pertemuan semula anak dan ayah. Apa kata orang air dicincang takkan putus? Dan Nasi putih Daging Cincang itu membuatkan aku tersangat lapar saat ini. Cis, kau memang sengaja Jebat!
ps:Klise drama sangat. Epilog Damak Kesukaan yang teramat! Buat orang nak cari balik filem lama ni kat youtube. Damak and the geng. Mengimbau memori lama sungguh. Olahan semula filem 'kajang Pak Malau' - [tajuk sebenarnya adalah Seri Mersing] dari tempat Damak selepas dia pulang semula ke kampung halaman dan berkahwin dengan Seri . Haish! Ku cuma ingat lagu dia yang mendayu-dayu tu.

Anak Dinihari Cerita motivasi yang menegaskan kembali bahawa dengan kerja bukan berkonsep makan gaji dan menulis pun boleh jadi orang kaya berjaya. Baru tau sebenarnya ada penceritaan orang lama yang kata budak lahir dinihari ini spesis orang berjaya. Nasib baik tak pernah dengar cerita ni dulu-dulu kalau tak mesti down gila masa kanak-kanak ku sebab aku lahir waktu petang. Sob2x - Well itu bukan kisah sebenar. Anda boleh berjaya tak kira siapa pun anda, bila dan dimana anda lahir...insyaAllah. Kena bersungguh-sungguh jela. Man jadda wa jada. Cili Kelakar kot! Pace yang sangat pantas. Kalau ni jadi persembahan mesti kalut penonton. Kopi Tiga Suku Memori. Manis. Budak Baru Skrip doktor dan doktor pelatih. Berjaya mengharungi housemanship itu... korang memang jiwa kental! <-- I need to review my own life. PWTC Respek dengan tema cerpen ni. Bolehla kata cerita patriotik sebab ada terselit pasal kenegaraan, kepentingan memikirkan tindakan dan keputusan kita pada hari ini untuk anak cucu masa depan. Kopi Kola Ini cerita pelik. Nasiblah ini cerita cerpen kalau dak... Kopi, Adele dan Bubur Ayam McD Walaupun aku suka baca novel cinta, sebenarnya aku benci baca kisah orang yang tersiksa jiwa raga sebab putus cinta. Putus cinta <blerghhhh>. [Sorry. I don't really understand you people!] Cinta Sekeping Tisu Lupa cerita ni pasai pa. Ada Apa Dengan Kina - okay...next. Aku, Kesesatan dan Kelab Penari Bogel Eip! Fikir lucah ek... Takdak aih. Ini cerita pendek bagaimana seorang student baru kat oversea yang tersesat dan jumpa jalan pulang dengan adanya kelab penari bogel sebagai landmark. Nakahari
Nakahari dalam cerpen adalah satu nama virus penyakit manusia yang baru.
Tetiba tertingatkan Matahari - spy yang popular zaman perang dunia

Sedang
aku rehat-rehat sambil tunggu waktu berbuka puasa (entri ini dikarang sebelum raya haji lepas), aku jenguk blog kawan dengan entri 'Tiada Tuhan Selain Allah'. Tersentak hati bila baca.
This is by far the best collection of english poets and poems I've read. It shocked me when I knew that Caroline Kennedy is the only daughter of J.F. Kennedy, the former US President who died in assasination.
But then really... this collection is really amazing! A must read. (for those who enjoys poetry and such)
My other review. [in malay]
Bagi saya, kebolehan untuk
membaca sebuah puisi tak kira dalam bahasa apa pun adalah sesuatu yang
luarbiasa. Saya suka baca puisi tapi saya tak tahu 'membaca' puisi.
Bukan semua puisi yang saya baca itu boleh saya kategorikan dalam bahan
bacaan, sebabnya pemahaman tentang puisi itu sendiri. Mengakui, saya
rakyat jelata yang 'buta sastera' (baik Melayu apatah lagi Inggeris)
Apa
yang saya boleh katakan 'She Walks in Beauty' ini adalah antologi puisi
Inggeris lama dan baru yang sangat dekat dengan jiwa. Sepanjang
menyelak 300+ muka suratnya seperti melalui perjalanan hidup sendiri.
Mulanya
saya ingat didalamnya adalah puisi seperti Robert Frost, EE Cummings,
Emily Dickinson, Rumi dan nama lain yang terkenal dalam sejarah sastera ,
tapi rupanya ada juga nama baru [dan yang masih hidup] dalam sejarah.
Nyatanya, buku ini benar-benar terkandung dalamnya puisi terbaik pernah saya baca sepanjang hidup yang singkat ini.

Thy friendship oft has made my heart to ache: Do be my enemy—for friendship’s sake.
I haven't read much these days. There are few books at hand that I'm not really into it. So, here is my other hobby to waste my time. *sincerely I felt my time wasted.
Annable (2014)
First, Annabelle; the horror movie I hate ghost movies but brave my heart for lovely housemate (not anymore). I despise having a hard time to keep my calm.
Annabelle was not scary as The Conjuring (that I watched quite a few days back with my cousin on DVD). A little bit of disappointment as I sacrificing my sleep quality time on workdays watching this 'unscary' doll.
The ending, sorry not meant for spoiler, was quick and leave a very unsatisfying emotion. To see Alfre Woodard jumped out the window is somewhat 'racist'. hahaha. No offense.
Hence, that's my weekdays early this month.
._.
So, for the past two weeks I've also manage to finish few doramas. It just happen when I start watching one story and couldn't stop myself until I realized it has been quite a number of doramas filled my night time.
Tiger & Dragon (2005)
A story about Yamazaki Kotora, a yakuza that learns Rakugo [a traditional form of Japanese comedy] from his debtor, a Rakugo master, Hayashiyatei Donbei. While Donbei's son, Ryuji quits Rakugo even he is talented. This drama is a loose comedy drama as two world, yakuza and Rakugo clash together.
I like each story represented in each episode. A bit of craziness ding-dong with Tomoya Nagase here
Bitter Blood (2014)
Mystery-crime-family with a touch of comedy drama released on April this year. Last time I watched Sato Takeru was from Rurouni Kenshin (live action movie of Samurai X). I don't like him in the movie because his face is not manly enough for Samurai X refering to the anime. However, this drama is quite a kick as I watched it through.
Sahara Natsuki is the rookie of Ginza Police Department assigned with Shimao Akimura, a dandy detective who is also known as Natsuki's father. Lots of funny moments when they work together as team. Something to watch when you're down.
Samurai X
Hero (2014)
Anyway this drama just end last September. For those Takuya Kimura's fans & people who've watched Hero (2001) - the drama that achieved highest TV ratings records in 25 years. This is something to look out indeed.
Comeback of eccentric Kuryu Kohei to Tokyo division with some of new and old faces. His new paralegal will be Keiko Kitagawa as Chika Asagi.
Lots of interesting scene to watch. Keeping up with the fast paced conversations of the characters as they solved cases in the office.
The Files of Young Kindaichi Neo (2014)
I've watched The Files of Young Kindaichi from the early 2000. I had to say that watching this one was good. Same storyline over and over but then I think most of japanese detective investigation drama is somewhat a copy-cat of each other. Though the original story of this is from the manga, I couldn't say it is a copycat or such. Still, it is entertaining.
I kinda like Matsumoto Jun version of Kindaichi compared to Ryosuke Yamada. The best work of Ryosuke is Risou no Musuko as Daichi Suzuki.
Kurokochi (2013)
I'm impressed by the serious side of Tomoya Nagase in this drama. In his other works, only the funny& crazy side of him stand out much such in My Boss, My Hero. Not to mention both Mokudono in his early years. His acting improved a lot since then.
This is a crime-suspense drama revolves around Kurokochi, a character by the same name, a sly detective in the Tokyo Police Department. The story starts off with the real incident of 300 million yen bank robbery 45 years ago. Which reminds me of the infamous robbery using the same technique but that case was still unsolved. See video below.
It reveals later in the drama that the robbery 45 years ago, is the turning point for the police department's dark secret. Watabe Atsuro from Bitter Blood also plays as the villain in this drama.This is what I thought as BRILLIANT reality twist fiction. ;) A must watch !
Nakuna, Hara-chan (2013)
You could've guess by now that I'm a fan of Tomoya Nagase. Most of the list drama in this post has him as main actor. Nakuna, Hara-chan was bit off but I watch it anyway. This counts as the 7th [or 8th, I couldn't recall] of him I've watched so far.
This drama is about a manga character, Hara-chan that come alive and appear as motivator to it's mangaka, Echizen who happen to have a very troubled and negative way of living. A very inspiring work touches on humanism(?) in comedic way.
Title: Sempre [Forever] Author: J.M. Darhower Pages: 558 p.
You'll get tired of Haven Antonelli & Carmine DeMarco. I thought it was so cool
but after few loose 'give&take' between them, it gets so nauseating [trivia: Carmine was still in high school, it bothers me every time thinking
what a spoil kid he was]. I hope there will be more than their
attraction towards each other.
Truthfully, the plot setting so
unique. Some issues on modern day slavery- Haven and italian mafia
prince- Carmine, bad boy aura. There's something worth to read along the
line. The long history of mafia war which belong to Haven in the past
etc. You'll feel the tension built up.
Contains few sexy vibes,
which I wouldn't suggest to teens. Even it's character is teen
themselves. Yeah, only 'vibes' but it will worry
parents lots. ;)
I had this love-hate things with the book.
turns out she is hardcore fans of Supernatural series too! cool.
Darhower had done great writing this piece which is quite hard to stray off from the usual typical theme. I like it. Maybe I will read the next one. xoxo
Before I write something about this book I found in Scribd. You have to read this by Betty Byers.Its a complimentary copy for readers. Truth, this is really good!
Synopsis.
Lola Hussey, 24 years old, no boyfriend, still living with her mum on
a London housing estate and stuck in a going nowhere job in a third
rate Private Investigation Agency. Life had to get better surely? When
Derek Lewis, rich Australian playboy, is found dead after falling from
the roof of his office in salacious circumstances, Lola's opportunity to
flex her investigative muscles had begun.
But it wasn't only Lola's professional career that was about to take off. Little did she know it, her love life was too.
Between
her new boss, Julian, who was an uptight Adonis, and Joe the office
Romeo, Lola was having a hard time to keep her professional integrity
intact and her sassy comments to herself. Still, a job was a job, and if
it involved working with two handsome men then who else would be up for
the challenge?
My review.
Lola Hussey a girl that is confident with herself but unable to succeed
in her work life. One day she was assigned as corporate investigator to
find out the true culprit behind the suicide of the company successor, Derek Lewis.
In the company she was only known to Julian Davenport, her boss aka Derek's cousin. There was few suspect in the story, Joe the office playboy (former assistant & Derek's best friend) and Derek's secretary,Pam.
Lola was really indecisive between Julian and Joe. Though Julian is more promising and better choice compared to Joe the fishy playboy investigator. [It was until the middle chapter you can truly discover Joe's true color]. My heart still vote for Julian and after read the second book (halfway), Julian is still number one.
This novel was very intriguing until the last page, as the revelation of scandalous family secrets that
was never known before. Will Lola able to decide the love of her life?
Betty Byers was one excellent new writer that
we need to look for. Reminder! Don't judge a book by it's cover. Even though it has poor book cover design, the story was really amazing almost on par with other established writer. Often some free copies had editing mistakes but this one is exception. Almost perfect.
Now that I read it for the 2nd time, I reaaaaally want to buy the next book.
ps: I almost forget this Lola. Yay! Mdm Lola, I found your copy-paste character from fiction.
ps2: not for children under 18. Few x-rated (which really put me in difficult place and change my admiration to Lola).
