Books

Ok.. I shall talk about some of my favourite books so anyone who loves reading can go check them out too...
They are in no order of merit.. *grinz*

1)Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
Lovely book.. first few books to make me cry.. I've read it only once because 1)It makes me cry 2)It's a really long book.. I need time to savour it... :]

2)Cat and mouse by James Patterson
Engaging story that draws you right into the plot. Thrilling police and thief chase. Brilliant mastery of the criminal and police psyche (did i spell tt rite?) A definite must-read!

3)Roses are red by James Patterson
Another brilliant book about Detective Alex Cross and his search for his nemesis. Ok.. Some of his books are a bit explicit in the murder scenes.. take some time to get used to it.. Consider yourself warned.

4)The Search by Iris Johansen
I love this book! I read the first two of this series(not really a series lahz, but the characters are linked) and the character Sarah was introduced in the second book. There was a little interaction between Sarah and Logan in the second book called The Final Target. So for those who have time, it's The Face of Deception, then The Final Target, and The Search. Sort of cop and thief thriller to simplify matters.

5)Certain Prey by John Sanford-I think tt's the author
Haha.. There's a gay policeman in here who cracks me up. He tries to explain how gay men look at this differently to his female partner only to have his female partner say tt it's a load of bullshit.. Muahaha.. okok.. tt's not the story. It's about this women who hires a female hitwoman to kill off the wife of her lover. Basically, something happens and the hitwoman is like sort of exposed so she has to get away from the police and the chase is on! I don't do the story justice. Police and thief again! :]

6)Taipan by James Clavell
I've only read this once because it's pretty thick too. I found the flowery language slightly draggy but i still enjoyed the story. Hahah.. I need to find another time to read through it thoroughly. It's like about an English man who enters Hong Kong to make himself Taipan - king/boss. It's an interesting mix of east and west.

7)Open Season by Linda Howard
Romance! Hahah.. It's about this woman deciding to take charge of her life and finally get a boyfriend. Throw in a chief of police who annoys her to death and ta-ta, you get a hilarious story of how they'll end up together

8)How to trap a Tycoon by Elizabeth Bevarly
I bought this for fun. Turns out the story is pretty good. Ok, I ended up focusing more on the minor characters.. Hahah.. I like the little side love story happening between the minor characters watz.. it's funny! Ok.. it's fun to read. Nothing that you can seriousy use to trap a tycoon tho.. :]

Tt's all for now.. I have yet to read the Da Vinci Code but i've been told that it's very good. For now, lack of time and cash limits my reading

This one is nice and sweet too~

When You Say Nothing At All Lyrics
by Ronan Keating

It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word, you can light up the dark
Try as I may I can never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me whenever I fall
You say it best.. when you say nothing at all

All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd (the crowd)
Try as they may they could never define
What's been said between your heart and mine

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me whenever I fall
You say it best.. when you say nothing at all

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me whenever I fall
You say it best.. when you say nothing at all

(You say it best when you say nothing at all
You say it best when you say nothing at all..)

The smile on your face
The truth in your eyes
The touch of your hand
Let's me know that you need me..

lalalala~~~ When will I get a boyfriend? Hahahhaa.. my life is put on the hold for my As.. sheesh... let's hope i will at least do well for As.. then i can spend time looking for a bf later.. My future depends on me.. men... who needs them? Muahahaha..

I like this song!! old old song tho..

Kelly Chen
Lovers' Concerto

How gentle is the rain
That falls softly on the meadow
Birds high up on the trees
Serenade the clouds with their melody

How gentle is the rain
That falls softly on the meadow
Birds high up on the trees
Serenade the clouds with their melody

Oh! See there beyond the hill
The bright colours of the rainbow
Some magic from above
Made this day for us, just to fall in love

You'll hold me in your arms
And say once again you'll love me
And that your love is true
Everything will be just as wonderful

Now, I belong to you
From this day until forever
Just love me tenderly
And I'll give to you every part of me

Oh! Don't ever make me cry
Through long lonely nights without us
Be always true to me
Keep this day in your heart eternally

You hold me in your arms
And say once again you love me
And that your love is true
Everything will be just as wonderful


I heard this while watching a kelly chen movie a long long time ago.. When I was in pri sch or lower sec.. Nice~~

Prelims are coming

Ok.. now i have serious doubts as to whether i can finish studying...

Food for thought...
Twinkle twinkle little star is the same tune as baa baa black sheep.. I found out last year...
well..well..well, tt's lifelong learning for u..

Today~

Susilo!!! Hiazzzz... today's a bad day for Singaporeans at Athens.. Well.. life must go on! Good luck to the rest of the people at Athens!
Prelims are in like... 5 days time... I'm not exactly sure how I'm going to finish studying but I'll try my best! There's no such thing as impossible.. Jiayou! Gambate!

Olympics...

"After beating world No 1 Lin Dan, Singapore's Ronald Susilo has defeated Germany's Bjoern Joppien 15-11, 15-6 in a straight-game win on Tuesday."

Oh yeah! Ronald Susilo got me hooked to the screen as I watched him play Lin Dan and Bjoern Joppien... His strokes were powerful and you could literally see him thinking on court. Susilo's reflexes were also lightning quick and his stride was big enough for him to cover the court easily. His mind stayed focused even when his opponents tried to make a comeback. All in all, it was sheer poetry in motion. AMAZING!

Ronald Susilo!!! I'm rooting for you!! Jiayou! Jiayou!! Good luck in Athens! Do Singapore proud!

Wonderful World (Don't Know Much)
by Sam Cooke

Submitted by : Doron Ganot
Corrected by : Emma


Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about a science book
Don't know much about the French I took

But I do know that I love you
And I know that if you love me too
What a wonderful world this would be

Don't know much about geography
Don't know much trigonometry
Don't know much about algebra
Don't know what a slide rule is for.

But I do know that one and one is two,
And if this one could be with you,
What a wonderful world this would be.

Now i don't claim to be an "A" student,
But I'm trying to be.
For maybe by being an "A" student baby
I can win your love for me.

Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about a science book
Don't know much about the French I took.

But I do know that I love you,
And I know that if you love me too,
What a wonderful world this would be.

Latatatatatatahuwaah (history)
Oehwoewoe (biology)
Latatatatatatahuwaah (science book)
Oehwoewoe (French I took)

But I do know that I love you,
And I know that if you love me too,
What a wonderful world this would be.

Isn't this a cute song??? Hahaha.. I heard it on the radio..

Nothing much happening in my life.. so here's a cutesy pic to cheer me up!  

Amanda's birthday cake.. Taken with samsung v200 camera phone in the dark so quality of pic not very gd.. Cake was a mite too sweet in the end.. HAhaha.. Chocolate fudge i think..  

HaPPy BirThDay, Amanda!!

Amanda's birthday surprise was a total flop! Hahahaha.. She called me ard 7pm to ask me sumthing and i was like, "oh no! She discovered tt i was planning to go to her house? How?" Of cos, it was a false alarm.. she was just telling me tt she met my cousin kevin in her poly tennis class.. Phewww...
My mum dropped me off at Orchard at 8 sumthing.. so i went to buy Amanda's present.. the plan was simple.. Buy present, buy cake, take bus, reach Amanda's house, SURPRISE!! hahaha.. Choosing the present turned out to be interesting.. so many nice shiny things at perlini's! hahaha... Saw the perfect necklace for Mandy too! It's some musical sign thing.. dunnoe wat.. but since Mandy loves music.. It's great for her!
Went to buy cake... hahah.. Small one lahz.. broke liaoz.. hahaha.. From taka food court, next to the Brownie factory.. It's called.. Swiss something.. hahahaa.. can't remember the name.. The lady was like saying, "One candle rite?" I was thinking.. should be for 18 yrs old, then i look down at the cake, "ok, one candle lahz" hahhaa.. cake too small liaoz...
Mission accomplished!!! Take bus to her house.. Walk in, then I'm faced with my next hurdle.. How to get into Amanda's block cos u need a scan a card to get in.. Sat on the bench outside her block.. crossing my fingers and hoping someone would come out.. Haha.. Actually, someone did come out from her block, but i was like 50m away.. Honestly, you can't expect me to sprint with a cake in my hands rite? Tick tock.. tick tock.. Five mins passed! A family is coming out!! Oh yeah! Am I lucky or wat? Wait for the 502 express only wait 5 mins somemore.. wait for someone to come out of her block, only 5 mins too!
Went upstairs.. called her house.. waiting for her to pick up the phone and come to the door.. Then... the phone in her house... rang... continued to ring.. She's NOT AT HOME!!! aarggdhghh... Haha.. tt's why my surprised failed.. tt woman ahz.. tell me 9 sumthing she'll be at home online, can send my manga then (It's a diversion.. checking tt she's home)...bluff me lohz.. went to IMM for dinner.. haha.. So in the end, I called her and told her tt i was at her doorstep.. come home.. ahhaha.. should have just gone into her house since her maid was home and waited for her.. hahaha..
On the whole, despite the failure to surprise her.. I hope Amanda had a great birthday.. so
HaPPy 18th BirThDAy, Mandy!! Cheers to our friendship and here's to a great many more years as friends!
