Book Review: A Place Called Here

ok, another book review
and it is another cecelia ahern's
i'm going to make it a brief one, in my own kind of way
or words

source: google

so, ever wandered where the lost things go?
curiosity kills the cat
and for every illogical things that happen, sometimes there might just have a logical answers behind it?

as a child, Sandy Shortt (laugh hard! cecelia described her as a very tall, and lanky person) is obsessed by finding missing things
socks. books. diary. pens. and etc
up to the point where she's labeling all her stuffs with her name
up to the point where her parent needs to send her to years of counseling session
and as an adult, she turns this obsession into her vocation, looking for missing people
until she goes missing herself, and finds herself in another universe
a place where missing things and people go
a place called Here
at Here she encounters people she'd been searching for as well as items she herself had lost 
unable to accept that she won't be found, Sandy is determined that she won't stay here and wonders how she can go back to the life she has just realized she's been wasting

'Sometimes, people can go missing right before our very eyes. 
Sometimes people discover you, even though they've been looking at you at the entire time.  
Sometimes, we lost sight of ourselves when we're not paying enough attention'

A dedication to kurshians 9600: Andrew Belle - Sky's Still Blue

you probably won't have any idea on how i am really really glad that i found this song
it was at late yesterday evening, thank God
i am being very committed as to come up with my 'song-of-the-week' you see
so cheers~ 

and oh, would like to dedicate this song to dearest tkcian of 9600
guilty me coz i did not get to watch the Majalah 3- demi destini sang puteri on that saturday night due to terrible headache
sob sob...
you all are always near in my heart
hugs.....



Your heart is a city
Your eyes are a fixture
The mind tells a story
With ten thousand pictures
We stumble upon it
Fell through the ceiling tiles

We drew up a landscape
We climbed down a ladder
Carved out a memory
To follow the pattern
And now on a clear glass wall
I can see my faith
You know it's never too late

Oh, if you're hearing this
I must have made it through
Oh, when the clouds are burned
Open up my window
I see the sky's still blue

A vision is a portrait
A palate of colors
We swim in an ocean
With blindfolded lovers
And now that I've found my side
Oh, I finally realize that it was there the whole time

Oh, if you're hearing this
I must have made it through
Oh, when the clouds are burned
Open up my window
I see the sky's still blue

Queen In Hyun's Man: A drama review

oh no! i am doing injustice for this blog
why? there hasn't been even one post being up-ed this week
that's why (errr duh!) haha
and it's thursday already~

so, right now i'm seriously putting all my energy to my fingers and (ehem my heart and my brain) just to write a single post
and of all the matters in the world, i choose to write a review on this korean drama that i've just watched
yep, i dragged all my family members (namely my mom, my dad, my stepdad, husband and kids) to watch the 16 episodes drama for the past 3 days
i'm cruel, i know


the plot
love conquers all, even across time, space, and forgotten memories.
(read:1694 and 2012)

our hero
Kim Boong Do (Ji Hyun Woo), a top scholar from Joseon era. a calm, steadfast, and definitely a man with an awesome intelligence. he has that charm which our lady attracted to and consistently called him a woman player. needs to be in a life-and-death situation in order to just go for a date with his woman

our lady
Choi Hee Jin (Yoo In Na), a new breed actress around the corner with a pure heart. a nice person with a cute impromptu dumb act, and can be quite miang or gatal at times 
(and that times are mostly when she's with her man)


my review
pure romance is written all over Queen In-Hyun's Man, despite the political intrigue in the Joseon scenes and meddling exes in the modern-day ones. however hard the situation could ever be, the couple were simply people who grabbed what chance gave them and chose love over everything else, and not just bowed down to Fate



trivia no 1
eventually, Ji Hyun Woo develops a feeling for Yoo In Na while shooting for this drama.
 they are officially a couple now

trivia no 2
please expect a LOT of kissing scene in this drama.  
heishh you have no idea the awkward moment when you are caught up with those scenes with everyone in the families around you. i feel like to run or hide under the sheets!

trivia no 3
Ji Hyun Woo, you'll be my next favourite korean actor after Lee Minho. oh you, playboy!

and then, waved her tiny hand with a smile on her face saying 'bye mama!'

yup, there is a lot of childrens crying and wailing yesterday
tapi dia

2013 kicking off well

the 1st day of 2013 comes pretty normal to me
just like every other day
normal and calm, yet with a different tinge on its own

so tomorrow, baby girl najah will starts preschool
gulp, mixed feeling here and there

will she be okay?
what if she gets into fight with other kiddos?
will she listens to the teacher?
will she be all play and being stubborn?
because, having a 3 years old with an almost unpredictable behavior, the situation can be quite tough
but then again, knowing your daughter better than anyone else, i believe she will turn out just fine
kan najah? kan?
promise mama please!

apparently, me and my mom went to the kindy yesterday to collect her school uniforms, yellow school bag and etc2
upon receiving all the stuffs, surprisingly, this came out from her little loud mouth

'Najah tak suke la school bag ni.
School bag kan mesti ade gambar princess-princess.
Yang ni takde pun!'

ok, rase nak nyorok bawah meja
where to hide the face in front of all the teachers???
TT__TT

turning 3 pretty soon!
