Short break :)

As of yesterday evening, after receiving THE sms, I'd officially ended my Phase II :) All praises to Him :) Now, I just have to prepare myself for clinical year. Excited but nervous as I know it won't be an easy journey. Just pray that I can manage it.

2 weeks of resting-at-home is coming to an end. Hope that elective will be a quick one (crossing fingers).

Didn't really do anything much. Didn't even touch academically-related books (a little guilty...). Basically, I glued myself to the sofa, switching channels with a novel in my hand :)

Caught some series: Leverage, CSI, CSI: NY, House, Fairly Legal, Hawaii Five-O, AFC (makes me hungry all the time), some food documentaries on TLC...

Did some housework.

Finished a few novels :D


The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger. For me, it's a story of how 2 people meet, fall in love, date, getting married and the death of a loved one. But it has a twist, the guy has an abnormal gene which allows him to time travel. Quite a good one.


Wicked by Gregory Maguire. Interesting concept but I found it quite hard to follow the story. After 277 pages out of 538 pages, I kind of gave up.


Life Support by Tess Gerritsen. A fast-paced novel form one of my favourite author. After the hard time with Wicked, this one reminded me of why I love reading :) Tess Gerritsen put a lot of efforts in the details and I love it till bits :) I couldn't put down the book till the last page!!!


The Lace Reader by Brunonia Barry. Got it at a fantastic price of 9.90 and the book is equally facntastic :) I wasn't sure at first since I'd never heard of the author but it's good. I like it how the character told her story in a very convincing way until I forgot the warning that she gave at the start of the story. Would grab her next novel :)


The Gift by Cecelia Ahern. Read half of it a few months ago but abandoned it when I got very busy. Typical Cecelia Ahern's writing and I love the way she conveys her messages. This book is about appreciation and love towards family before it's too late. The character was a selfish one but in the end, I just couldn't help but felt pity towards him. Can't wait to get my hand on her next book-The Every Year Collection :) I don't usually spend money on short stories collection but Cecelia's short stories are sweet. Don't believe me? Read this :)


Monstrous Regiment by Terry Pratchett. I'd read a few of his Discworld series and I like them. But this book is a little hard to follow since I'm not the kind who is interested in war stories. Terry Pratchett did insert a lot of humours like those that I read and they did make me laugh. I'll still continue to read Discworld series though it took me quite some time to finish this.

Wow... I guess I didn't finish much books. Well, I was busy watching tv :P

Am currently reading this. Just a few pages but I like her story after reading My Sister's Keeper. Hope this is as good :)


Perfect Match by Jodi Picoult.

Did some shopping. Didn't find many nice clothes though. Got 3 blouses, 3 pairs of shoes, 1 dress (love it :D) and 2 formal blouses. Finally went to Pavillion and Farenheit 88.

Going to get some hair cut. Hair too long and thick already. Bye :)
