One Day by David Nicholls
I'm exactly one year behind in updating the books that I've read. This book was read during raya holiday last year (12 months ago) and I'm now in the current raya holiday. Time do flies - with the speed of light ...
Anyways back to the book. I didn't realize I had the book until I saw the movie's still ad in Goodreads and realize that somehow the title sounds familiar. A rummage thru my unread list cupboard proved I was right. Based on previous experience, whereby I watched a movie based on (already owned) book, I tend not to read it. So to avoid that I quickly read this one.
The storyline of One Day is not new. A story of 2 people which expands for twenty years. Mostly its funny but also moving. Really I can imagine Anne Hathaway playing Emma Morby character. In fact I'm picturing her all the way as I'm reading the book. Back then I didn't know who will play Dexter Mayhew which kept me wondering and trying to put a face to the character.
Emma and Dexter characters remind me of this movie called Before Sunset which was a sequel to Before Sunrise starring Ethan Hawke (I didn't watch Before Sunrise). Its about two characters whom are in denial of their feelings to each other and choose to suffer through out the years. "I love you but I just don't like you anymore" kind of stuff.
One Day was a fast read for me but I didn't expect the ending as such. Since I'm a sucker for romantic comedy movie (but not in books) so I'm looking forward to the movie.

I think I should rename my blog as do you remember me? It has been so long since I last post anything at all.
So before I miss Aidil Fitri altogether, here is the photos compilation of the recent celebration at my in-laws place in Ipoh. After several years of not celebrating our 1st raya there, this year we (my family) did.
I've tried to upload the video into YouTube but after countless attempts which I'm too lazy to elaborate here but let just say it forced me to abandon the task but I found another way of uploading it onto this blog but unfortunately the pics quality are not HD (high definition) enough in the video. Meaning the more beau tee effect in the photos doesn't work here :p Sorry.
Anyways enjoy the video.
Salam Aidil Fitri & Maaf Zahir Batin.
