Mini Shopaholic Review


So I got the book!!
And almost done reading.
I'm quite busy this week with
FinalYear Project Proposal and all,
I haven't got the time to finish it.
And I got to say.
I'm quite dissapointed.
I'm hoping that the book will center about Minnie (the daughter)
Instead, i'ts focussing about Becky planning a suprise birthday party
for Luke. How totally lame is that.
Don't get me wrong, Minnie IS in the book with the
attitude and Nanny Sue (totally a rip off of Suppernanny).
But she's like a supporting role (credit to Yazira) instead of the main character.

It also kinda disturbs me that Luke always
starts with
"Becky....."
Instead of "Honey...." or "Baby..."
Really I can't feel the love like in the "Shopaholic and Baby".
Well atleast until the couple of last chapters.

Though I still have my utter respect to Sophie Kinsella.
It is really hard to continue what seems to be a flawless run.
And I still can't put it down whenever I start reading it.
(One time this guy totally stare at me in the tube cause I'm smiling
too hard)

And the letters doesn't dissapoint.
(You shopaholic die-hards know what I mean right?)
My favorite is when Becky wrote to the Chancellor and ask for
"damehoods for shopping"
cause she shops so much and shows
"real commitment to sustaining the economy"
Now if thats real no doubt I will get one of those.

I'm also wondering what is it like to be in Luke's shoe.
Wouldn't it be amazing if we have a spin-off from Luke's point of view?
He'll be like :
"Oh Golly what is she doing this time. I told her to tell her parents already."

*Spoiler alert*

The end of the book totally give a clue that
Becky and family will have a new adventure in
Planet Hollywood.
(Yes I cheated, I read the end first)

Now THAT I can't wait.
Sophie Kinsella (Madeleine Wickham, whatevs)
Please Please Please
don't dissapoint me this time!

Not so good picture.

Bye Bye Saleza, Hello Hammersmith


Leaving home is always hard.
I'm sure you know right??
I havent blog so long haven't I.
Huh.
Well the three weeks I was home,
I was busy with babysitting duties since the Bibiks decided
to go home for raya, or for good.
Simultaneously.
Now only we realized how chaos it will be without them.
Total mayhem!!
So I helped out with babysitting and girl its not easy!
You have to be prepared with Elmo and Thomas and Barney and ABCs.
But its totally cool too.
Case in point: this height thingy.
Nureen decided to measure us (Me Her and Dedek)
and put it on the wadrobe.
Coolness!
Oh I'm trying to teach her Malay but totally not working.
The only words that you'll hear from her in Malay is:
"Saya nak tido!"
Although she did pursuit Dedek to play with her once with :
"Awak mahu bermain dengan saya?"
Totally baku. Is totally like mat salleh wants to speak Malay.
Sigh.
So Babysitting during the days, Gossiping at nights!
We're so happy that Jus Epal is back and he's back when I was back
so I hardly notice he's not working there nymore coz he's at our home
all the time. And after raya, we'll go out every night and gossips till after midnight.
We also discover new cool places.
You heard it right, KT is cool now.
I'll miss my gossips buddies and the Swift the most!

And also, we(my mum's fam) had a BBQ for John's Birthday!!!!!!
We used to do this every year I think but I wasn't there most of the time (school.bluweh).
Usually we had karoeke too but not this year. (Now I wonder why?)
Its definately the highlight of our raya and seeing nenek's
face of God-I'm-Happy-All-My-Children-Are-Here is priceless.




What else. Hurm. Oh I found Mini Shopaholic!!!
But I'll tell you bout that in a seperate post.

Ouh finally I want to apologize to ppl
I haven't got the chance to meet during my short holiday
especially my bestie Winnie and my 007 clan.
Till next year gals=)

So Bye Malaysia Hello London!

you know who u r


You used to talk to me like
I was the only one around.
You used to lean on me like
The only other choice was falling down.
You used to walk with me like
We had nowhere we needed to go,
Nice and slow, to no place in particular.

We used to have this figured out;
We used to breathe without a doubt.
When nights were clear, you were the first star that I'd see.
We used to have this under control.
We never thought.
We used to know.
At least there's you, and at least there's me.
Can we get this back?
Can we get this back to how it used to be?

I used to reach for you when
I got lost along the way.
I used to listen.
You always had just the right thing to say.
I used to follow you.
Never really cared where we would go,
Fast or slow, to anywhere at all.

We used to have this figured out;
We used to breathe without a doubt.
When nights were clear, you were the first star that I'd see.
We used to have this under control.
We never thought.
We used to know.
At least there's you, and at least there's me.
Can we get this back?
Can we get this back to how it used to be?

I look around me,
And I want you to be there
'Cause I miss the things that we shared.
Look around you.
It's empty, and you're sad
'Cause you miss the love that we had.

You used to talk to me like
I was the only one around,
The only one around.

We used to have this figured out;
We used to breathe without a doubt.
When nights were clear, you were the first star that I'd see.
We used to have this under control.
We never thought.
We used to know.
At least there's you, and at least there's me.
Can we get this back?
Can we get this back to how it used to be? Yeah.
To how it used to be.
To how it used to be, yeah.
To how it used to be.
To how it used to be.
