If You Could See Me Now
Complated another book..haha super fast.
If you could see me now..another cecelia ahern book.
This book..
When I started reading it, it was not very interesting.
Sometimes you'll just feel like putting it down, because you think that it's nothing special.
But push on, and you'll discover how great a book this is.
Not every book will leave you feeling intense emotions after every chapter.
But that doesn't mean it isn't a good book.
This is a perfect example.
For the first 2/3 of the book, it's all about hoe Elizabeth is a boring lady.
A lady who's authoritative, who's lonely, who had a bad childhood.
It tells of her everyday life, her interactions with luke, how she live in the boring town, and then..how luke had an imaginary friend, Ivan.
That's when the story gets interesting.
The emotions just get more and more intense near the end.
I won't want to spoil the story..
But it's a bittersweet ending..
I liked her representations of a imaginary friend though, that it's a career, helping children.
1 gripe, there's no clear definition between flashbacks and the present, thus it gets abit confusing and frustrating to read at times.
But overall, a good book.
It's funny how the books I've read comes at a time when I'm questioning myself.
My previous posts..I've questioning myself if Singapore is the place I wanna stay in.
And this book?
Well let's say it provide me some fresh insights..
Ok. I've polished off 5 of cecelia ahern's book.
1 more to go, A Place Called Here.
Currently of her 5 books, here's my preference, in order.
P.S. I Love You
Where Rainbows End
The Gift
If You Could See Me Now
Thanks For The Memories

Handle With Care
Another book..actually, I've finished transformers revenge of the fallen before this..but nothing much to talk about..just basically the movie, with added details.
Anyway, Handle With Care. Jodie's Picoult latest book.
So far, I've read 3 of her book. She really do very well writing about ethics and morality.
If I had to rank it, This book would be together with My Sister's Keeper for number1.
I didn't really like Change of Heart.
Anyway, 1 gripe.(spoilers)
Her stories..always end sadly.
Annie died in My Sister's Keeper.
Willow died in Change of Heart.
Why must that be so?? =((
It's really very heartbreaking..
Very good book.
A book that would invoke your emotions.
Basic summary, Charlotte is a mother to a daughter born with OI.
She wants the best for her daughter, but to do that she would have to make alot of..
agonizing decisions.
But I just don't like a sad ending.
Really.
Willow deserves to live.
So does Annie.

I've been thinking alot these days...maybe coz I'm no longer busy at work..for the next 2 months hopefully.
Would I like to stay in Singapore in future?
What would my future career be?
Those are the 2 questions that I've been thinking through many many times.
Singapore..is it all that ideal for me?
Would I prefer a new enviroment...Australia,UK,USA?
Would I migrate and stay there in future?
If so...should I go aus to study for my degree..it's easier to make networks in school..so if I'm really going to settle down there..it would be best I did my degree there too.
Then what about my family and friends in Singapore then.
Would I miss them?
Would I get a Aussy/Briton/American gf there then?
Alot alot of questions...
Then..what would I like to work as in future?
This..I'm still searching..has not found it yet
Career isn't bothering me as much as country..I don't know..I just find that Singapore is really boring.
I would really like a new environment..
Then again, if I'm going to study in Aus..that's un-needed money spent..especially when I;m already accepted by SMU..
Singapore is just..let's just say I've grown tired of it.
Maybe I need a break.
I would really like to just go tour the countryside.
Scotland, Australia, Ireland.
Places with big spacious meadows and castles and crystal clear oceans/lakes and white sand..
AND! With cooling weather..

Wouldn't it be nice to be born in a western country..somewhere like Australia or UK..
Would be nice to be an Aussy or an Briton..
Not saying I dislike being Chinese la..I've no qualms about it..but just be living in Aussy or UK would be so nice..
Experience high school, experience their country..wouldn't that be nice?

Where will I be 7 years down?
Most probably still studying in uni..
=(
Meanwhile, people are earning million of dollars.
Take miranda kerr...she's only 25 this year..but she's already a supermodel.
What will I accomplish when I'm 25?
Anyway, I've been thinking.
Would I make a good radio host?
Hahaha. Being a radio dj sounds good for me..
I think i'll make a great host rite.
Should I pursue mass comm then..
Oh back to social science, how do people get together?
Why do famous personalities always get attached to each other?
Like angelina jolie and brad pitt, and miranda kerr and orlando bloom..1 more example..glenn ong and jamie.
Why can't they choose someone who is not that famous as them.
Like..why didn't miranda get together with..an aussy bloke instead of orlando.
Weird huh.
It's a phenomenon.
People get together with partners around their status.
Why is that so?
Interesting?
Haha
Last bit..recently stumbled upon miranda kerr's archives photos in my comp..
Hahaha..since 2007 until now..didn't change much..as pretty as ever. lol..
she's been an angel for 2 years already..so fast..it's like only yesterday when she modelled in the VS show 2007..still remember..it's the glacial segment..hahaha.
then very fast came the vs show 2008..speaking of which, is showing tonight again..look for the wings =P
Go see if u like..VS makes 1 of the best fashion shows =)
