Cuban Heels by Emily Barr


I read this book so soon after I was badly scarred by the previous book. Hoping to heal the wound but needless to say the wound is too deep or maybe this book was not strong enough.
It's single, white female type of story. You know, the kind that stole other's identity (even spouse) etc but chic...ly done. But my interest was not there. I didnt even take down any note which at one point made me feel guilty. Like punishing this book for mistake done by other book and not giving it a fair chance. But it's too late now to undo any of it.
Again like the previous book I struggled to finish this but thanks to a short weekend getaway to Penang, I finally able speed up my reading and the few final chapters were finished below a shady canopy overlooking the pool at Bayview Hotel, Penang.

Breakout by Swing Out Sister

When I switched the stereo this morning, this tune came on air. Oh how I love it.
It really perks up my Saturday morning. Oh I'm so stuck in 80s ^_^

Remember by Oh Hyun Ran

My interest in Korean drama started from this drama called Memories in Bali. That was three years ago. Yes, this is an old drama. I recently bumped into the drama whilst browsing the new HD channels and the haunting soundtrack came to haunt me again, like it did beforw. I love Oh Hyun Ran's vocal in this song and it match the love triangle storyline very well. The story was rather depressing actually and I hate the ending. But the song is good. Enjoy.

The Almost Moon by Alice Sebold


I bought the book because the author wrote Lovely Bones, which I haven't read but it was suppose to be good. She was likened to the female Edgar Allan Poe. The character killed her mom on the first page. So what went wrong?

It was a slow start for me and it stayed ... slow. Took me almost 2 months to finish. *deep deep sigh*

If there was any book that kill off my reading interest, this would be the ONE.

At the end, readers were suppose to come out with their own conclusion - I dont have any and I dont care!
