Happy Friday

My friend was telling me that when there's something you're looking forward to, your head will only think about that thing and others will drop down in your priority list. Just like falling in love. You'll only think about your loved one and others will be 'supporting actors/actresses'.

You're always on my mind...

So tonight we had our party. Since the morning, all my head was just thinking about the party. Whether or not the food is enough, reassuring that all the things have been prepared and done. Even when I work, I still thinking about what can be done to make the party more lively and cheerful. I even planned how to got home earlier to help out for the preparation so that I can welcome the guests with open arms.

Well, the party went quite well I would say. Even though most of them came late (as expected) , all brought some food and drink which really are nice and tasty. I am quite relieved to see that the food are actually more than enough to serve the crowd. And all of them mixed well. There're joys and laughters. That's what I want it to be. We really have fun.

Come, let's play together!

Now, I am feeling tired, and happy.

On the other hand, I bought the following books at Time Square this afternoon :

1) My Take by Gary Barlow


I have always adored Gary Barlow. I find him sexy and talented. And I still love his first solo album 'Open Road'. It's one of the album that I could listen over and over again.

2) Red Carpets and Other Banana Skins by Rupert Everett


I wanted to buy this book when I first saw it in the bookstore. Love Rupert since the film My Best Friend's Wedding. And I find him charming and sexy too. English lad. Their special British accent always arouse, oops, I mean impress me.

3) Full Circle by Michael Thomas Ford.


This book was the reason I went to the bookstore today. Thanks to Doc Paul aka savante who recommend the author. I actually saw his other books in Bangkok during my vacation there but I just don't have enough money to buy it. Thank goodness I found it in BORDERS, Time Square.

So three new books in store. My bedroom is gonna be a mess with books! But I don't care. Don't mind bury my head in books at home than going out suffering under the unpredictable weather! Damned! It's so hot nowadays!

Anyway, I have a successful party and three books to keep me happy!

Book-i-licious

I have my lunch at The Weld shopping mall this afternoon. I have no idea why my colleague choose there. Anyway, I just avoid to be the one who decide where to eat. So I kept quiet and follow the majority. Even though half way someone turn around and asked again where should we go for lunch, I just hid myself in a bunch of quiet people and pretending to look around waiting for an answer. And no, I ain't gonna be the one who decide anymore. So they went to The Weld. I have no objection.

Still want me to decide? No way!!

I usually don't really like to go there actually because the food there is more expensive than others. However, I received an email few days back that there is this PAY LESS BOOK fair going in The Weld. So I happily follow the crowd to see if it is really true. When I reached there, yes, I saw the book fair at the 1st floor. Yippie!!!

So we went straight up to the top floor and have our lunch in the food court. Without much hesitation, I simply ordered a pari ikan with rice and ate it. OK, I have to complain that the food is so little. It hardly filled up my stomach. Even though I am skinny, I ate a lot! Thanks to my high-metabolism. Anyway, after everyone finished their dishes, I quickly stood up and said that I want to go to thew book fair. Everyone followed. Expected! :p

Well, not a very big book fair I would say. But still I managed to see some interesting books. And they are SOOOOOOOO CHEAP!!! The books were just divided into categories like fiction and non-fiction. Then they're not sorted in alphabetical order. So I need to randomly pick some books that caught my eyes. Well, I have no choice but to judge the book by its cover.

I went to a section where 5 books were sold for only RM 20!!! 5 books! Wahahahaha... So I just simply choose some nice books. They are

1) Mason and Dixon
2) The Soloist
3) The Hours
4) Love you to death
5) ...

I forgot the name of the fifth book. I left it in my office. And guess what, the author of The Hours is Michael Cunningham. Yeap, the same author who wrote "A Home At The End of The World".


And look at the cover of "Love You to Death"!!


Now you know how I judge the book by its cover. Obviously an old book, but I still bought it anyway. After all, 5 books for RM 20!! It's like nothing! :p Come on, I bought "Born on a Blue Day" for RM 35.50!!! And only one book!

I was thinking if I should returned to the book fair tomorrow and hunt for another 5 gay-themed books. Wahahaha... I am so into reading nowadays. Especially gay-themed novel. Any recommended title? But I seriously need to save my money. Been over-spending on unnecessary stuff like books, magazine and good food. Wallet is now thick with receipts instead of cash notes. That's so not good! But then again, 5 books for RM 20?!?!?! SO cheap!!!!

More books? Or should I just save my money?!

Anyway, I am almost done with Born on a Blue Day. Hmm... what should I read next? Wow... I've got lotsa books here in my bedroom. I can consider open a small library at home. Too bad I am the only person who read novel. Especially English novel. My mom does read Chinese books at times. The other family members just don't read. Don't know why?! They'd rather watch movie. Well, as if I care! :p
