open up your eyes.

Sometime I wonder whether I'll ever be enough?

Smart enough?
Pretty enough?
Tall enough?
Thin enough?
Fast enough?
Strong enough?
Kind enough?
Nice enough?
Brave enough?
Graceful enough?
Talented enough?

and most of all

Happy enough?

5 Days to Breaking Dawn people!!!

That is if you live in the states. Only coming out August 4th for us Malaysians at the other side of the world. And, since US is like a day behind us, we'll actually be getting it 3 days later.

The sad thing is, since I have trials, I will have to restrain myself from reading the book.

You know, yesterday I decided to check out a couple of bookstores to see if they were going to give a discount on Breaking Dawn when it comes out. Seeing as Amazon is selling it with 45% off for the hardcover. None of the bookstores have really planned anything. And when my mum was talking to the manager at Times, you know what we found out? You know how most stores will like follow the decision on one store. So let's say if Tesco is giving 20% discount then other supermarkets will either follow or give more. The 'leading' bookshop in Malaysia is to my surprise not MPH despite having the most chains. The Times lady said that all the bookshops now are waiting to see what Borders will do. Whatever they do, others will follow.

And Breaking Dawn is so expensive!! It's like RM89.90 for the hardcover. But if I ordered it on Amazon, I'll only have to pay RM40.50. Half price!!! Unfortunately my uncle is arriving on August 2nd so the book wouldn't reach his house in time. So I can't order it. At least I got the first 3 books in hardcover for 40/45% each. Amazon is so awesome I tell you.

But my mummy said she'll buy me Breaking Dawn when it comes out anyway. Yay!!

who would have thought.

There's this dance group from Korea that cheorographs dances to go with Christian worship songs. Some are good, some are not so good. But it's quite cool to know that they're doing this all the way in Korea. Their called DMT. Not sure why though.



This is my favourite video of theirs. The first time I saw it I cried. And I didn't even know the lyrics as the song was in Korean.


And we only have 26 cards left to give out!!!

We've collected RM473 today from just 3 people. Looks like everything is going well.
Hope the camp will be a success too.

I was just browsing through some Twilight fansites yesterday and stumbled across twilightguy.com. It's about this guy who has started reading the Twilight saga as he wants to know why so many girls are hooked onto it. He's posting his thoughts up on each chapter and has made it to New Moon chapter 4 so far.

In one of his posts (epilogue of Twilight I think), he made a very good point/observation. He said that he realized that he's reading the book not to read a bout Bella or Edward or anyone else. It's to read about Bella AND Edward. And I realized that that's exactly the reason I read so many chick lit books. It's not for the guy I wish I'll meet or the girl I hope I'll be. Eventhough I'm sure alot of people (my sister for instance) would read a book just to read about the very perfect or not so perfect but nonetheless good guy and how he's so romantic, polite, thoughtful, smart etc, I read a book to see the progressing relationship/love between the two main love interests.

With so many love stories out there, it's no wonder that many of us have deluded ourselves into thinking that 'dreams do come true' or have completely given up on the idea of true love. Who ever created fairy tales must have been very evil. I can just imagine the person thinking 'Hmm, I wonder what'll happen if I make love sound so perfect with happy endings? Women would have high expectations and dreams that will be crushed when they find out that there is no such thing as the perfect guy. Men will feel the pressure from the significant other to live up to the perfect guy character from fairy tales. Muahahaha, what a wonderful plan to crush the hopes and dreams of so many!!!'

Okay, maybe it wasn't like that but I could just imagine it. Sometimes I wish I could stop myself from reading all these books so that I won't have unrealistic expectations of guys but I always find myself going back to read all the mushy love stories.

In the movie 'Becoming Jane'(a movie about Jane Austen's life), Jane meets with a famous female romance novelist who writes novels that are filled with passion and mystery. However when jane Austen meets her, the author is actually a quiet and shy woman. When asked how the author comes up with ideas, she replies "I write stories because it's everything my life is not."

So just like that, I guess I read because my life would probably never come close to the romance I read in books.








But on the other hand, most stories/legends/fairytales usually have some truth in them. So maybe, just maybe, true love like in the books must exist somewhere right?

And just what is wrong with me being SHORT???

Will being 5'5'' instead of 5'4'' make a big impact in my life?

Will it allow me to go into LSE without working hard?

Will it make my future employers pay me more?

Will it change the way people treat me?

Will I suddenly be smarter/prettier/faster/stronger if I grow an inch?

Who knows what my dad's problem is.

30 Hour Famine!!!!

Finally got started. All those who want to register please come down to the canteen during break/lunch.

63 cards given out on the first day. Not bad considering we didn't really publicize it.

For more information, please click here.


On another note, look what we found on the road while walking back.

If your eyesight fails you, it's a picture of a bird that got rolled over.

After lunch, we walked back to my house and Amanda was like there's a flattened bird on the road. True enough it was there. Poor bird must have been injured or something and a car drove over it since it couldn't get away fast enough.
