...About Eat, Pray, Love

 There's gonna be loads of long overdue book reviews. Scratch that, all my posts are long overdue posts. Ahaks, what can I say, I put the 'pro' in 'procrastination'.

So here it goes.

It took me days to finish this book. Like 5 days. partly because I was reading it at work, so I couldn't go through so many pages at time. Plus the fact that it's a slow book.

Don't get me wrong, it's a nice book. Not fiction though, more like autobiography-ish. But the story kinda like unfolds slowly. You sort of actually go on a journey with the writer. If I could afford it I would love to do what the writer did, take a year off and live abroad in 3 different countries, learn a new language.

Some of the stuff the writer went through is a bit out of this world. I can grasp the eat and love part of the book, but not the pray part. It's just too weird for me, if you've read it you'll get what I mean.

This is a great book to enjoy the leisurely pace.

Now all I have to do is watch the movie and compare the hell out of it.

..About Gratitude List

Weeks ago, while I was channel surfing, I happened to watch an old episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show. She was talking about her Gratitude List. That got me to thinking about making up my own list. Mind you, that was weeks ago, finally got around to it.

We all have gripes about anything and everything in our lives. If you don't then you're lying to yourself honey. But sometimes when you stop and think about it, life ain't that bad after all. I mean, you're alive and here right?

I know people today who would not believe it if I said that back then people know me as "the girl who's always smiling". Most people I know today know me as "mak cik kecik garang". Life's change, people change, situation change. Okay maybe people don't really change, deep down their the same, but I have to say that we adapt. Adapt to situation and environment.

When you're a petite girl working in a male dominated environment, it's hard to make them take you seriously when you're bubbly all the time. But nevertheless, I am grateful of what I have, am, and going to be.

I may not be rich.
But I am grateful that I have enough to live comfortably.

I may not have a perfect body.
But I am grateful God let me have enough limbs, digits and senses.

I may not be a genius.
But I'm grateful that I'm smart enough to get by.

I may not be strong enough to do what I would like to be able to do.
But I am grateful that I have the strength to get up and live life everyday.

I may not have the best job in the world.
But I am grateful that I have a job to go to.

So yeah, be happy with what you have. There are people who have it way worst.

What won't kill you only makes you stronger.

...About Oh Whatever

Yes, I have not updated anything at all for the past month. I just couldn't find the time to really sit down and type something. Was busy doing.....nothing much. Ahaks!

Catching up on years' worth of tv watching I can say.

I do come online, but just for an hour or slightly more. Jumping from site to site, checking e-mails. Reading other people's blog and commenting. Must be pretty weird when the owner of the blog clicks on my link and see that I've not blogged for over a month but yet I'm dropping comments on other people's blog. Sounds stalker-ish o_0

Oh God help me.

...About Backlog of Posts In My Head

I have so many blog posts composing itself in my head. Mostly reviews on books I've read recently. And I've read quite a number of books lately. Just haven't found the time to do it yet.

I want to write a proper review with a piture of the book (well it's MY proper way of doing it) but I'm not with my pc for these few weeks, so all the words are just floating around in my head.

So here I Am writing about writing. How silly does that sound? OK, get on with your lives people! Go ahead and click on the X on the top right hand corner of your screen.

Ok byez

...About Guilty Pleasure

How is it that I have to think 10 times before I buy clothes or other apparels (most of the time ending up not buying anything) but I only have to think twice before parting with my money for books? Bookworm much?

 Damage from the recent Popular Book Fest at KLCC.

This is from my Mom, She bought it online ages ago.

Lotsa books to dive into. Woo-hoo!

Have books, will travel.
