Huh???

Just came across this on a website:

'A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle.' - Gloria Steinem

Wow... Unbelievable...

And why on earth does a fish need a bicycle???

Happy Birthday!!!

If I didn't stumble across this, I would never found out that April 28th is Nancy Drew's birthday and that will really be a shame since I grew up reading her books.

I still remember when I was in primary school, my dad would bring me to the public library and that is the place where I first picked up Nancy Drew's books. I loved it so much that I would finish it as soon as possible so that I could borrow another one.

Eventually, I found out that the library also has translated BM version of Nancy Drew series. As the type of quirky girl who loves to read as many version of a book as possible to compare, I borrow the series and I found them quite ok. Those were the first BM books that I laid my hands on and I guess that's how I could manage to write BM essays. All thanks to Nancy Drew!!!

Later when I went to secondary school, I found out that the school library also has some Nancy Drew's books, I figured that I hadn't been reading it for quite some times and I started to read them again. Although I love the series but as I grew older, I put them aside and opted for more gripping series, like Harry Potter and Agatha Christie and lots more fictions.

What do I like about Nancy Drew? She's smart, gorgeous, nice, brave and she has a charming boyfriend, Nate. Her friends are always there for her through good and bad times. Her adventures are not easy and although she had received many treats, been kidnapped, been knocked out so many times but she still has the strength to go on. I really admire her.

Although I had not read her books for a few years already but I will never forget her. I will highly recommend her books to my cousin, my future nephew, niece and who knows, children. She is a part of my childhood memory and she'll always be on my mind.

Thanks for the sweet times you had given me. Happy 78th birthday!!!

Arggghhh...

SIGH...

This is so unfair :(

In conjunction with the new movie, Prince Caspian, MPH has a very special and impressive offer. All you need to do is to purchase one 7-in-1 movie tie-in Prince Caspian and you will get a free Limited Edition Stamp Set. Stamp set!!! Limited edition somemore!!! Just the thought of it makes me swoon...

The problem is, I had already bought the book about 6 years ago!!! All I lack is the first one, The Magician's Nephew which my cousin failed to return the book to me after all these years...

If only I'd seen this coming, I wouldn't have bought the series... Then not only I will be able to get the book, I'll also own a Limited Edition Stamp Set :(

Arggghhh...

Touched...

Everytime I come across things like this, I can't help but smile. This is very sweet and precious. A few days ago, I was in Kota helping my aunt, who was on a holiday trip, managing her shop (which explains my absence for about a week, if anyone noticed at all). It was a usual morning with me standing at the cashier with my cousin's wife. Then I saw an old couple climbing up the stairs to my aunt's shop. The old man was holding his wife's hand and carefully led her up the stairs. His face was fulled of concern. The way they talked reminds me of a couple who are deeply on love. He never let go of her hand while they were grabbing some groceries. While he was at the cashier, he told us that his wife has heart problem. I could see that he's worried about her. After that, with one hand holding grocery, he led his wife with his other hand and walked out of the shop. Both of us looked at them until they disappeared from our sight. My cousin's wife sighed and said that it's hard to see this kind of thing anymore. I agree with her. This couple really showed me the meaning of true love and I am really touched.
