Yes, This is another Book Post

But 'fraid Not! This might just catch your attention!




Yes, that is Alexis Bledel on the cover.



Description ; Ryden Malby had a plan. Step One: do well in high school, thereby achieving Step Two: get a kick-butt college scholarship. Step Three – limit her beer pong in order to keep said scholarship – wasn’t always easy. Now that she’s finally graduated, it’s time for Step Four: moving to LA to land her dream job at the city’s best publishing house. So far, Ryden’s three-for-three, but she’s about to stumble on Step Four….



When Jessica Bard, Ryden’s college nemesis—the prettiest, smartest, most ambitious girl at school—steals her perfect job, Ryden’s forced to move back to her childhood home in the Valley. Stuck with her eccentric family – a karate-obsessed dad, a politically incorrect grandma, a spoiled-brat little brother – and a growing stack of rejected job applications, Ryden starts to feel like she’s going nowhere. The only upside is spending time with her best friend Adam—and running into her hot next-door neighbor David. But if Ryden’s going to survive life as a post-grad, it may be time to come up with a new plan.


I am uberly excited for both the book and movie! :)





You read it right. It is not some kind of weird illusion. This is
written by L.C. , baby! It's her first YA novel. She signed a three-book-series contract.



This series would be about a behind-the-scenes story of a young girl who moves to L.A and unexpectedly becomes the star of a reality television show. Sounds familiar? Yes, this book is loosely based on Lauren's life. L.A Candy hits the shelves on June 16.


Are you as anxious as I am for this book?

Celeb Junkie!

This is Dakota Fanning all grown up.

She reminds me of Amanda Seyfried

whom I've just discovered was on the cover of Francine Pascal's Victoria Martin series before she made it big. --I've read My Mother Was Never A Kid :)

Mischa Barton just broke off her almost one-year relationship with boyfriend, Luke Pritchard of The Kooks.

The final episode of ER is finally here! With my lovely Noah Wyle and guess who as the latest addition of ER doctor? Alexis Bledel! Woooooooot

click here to find out more

and finally, on a totally unrelated note, I just want to make Asue jealous because she has just developed a crush on Hugh.

I couldn't even find a picture of them holding hands so this was the best. Isnt the picture breathtaking? It looks like it came out from an ad in a magazine (just ignore the JFXonline.com thing, I know I do)


Hugh Dancy is Prince Charmont from the 2004 movie Ella Enchanted starring Anne Hathaway. (Hah, in your face. Prince Charmont is so much better in book)

He met Claire Danes on the set of Evening also starring Toni Collete, Natasha Richardson and veteran actress Vanessa Redgrave. They eventually hook up but broke up for a couple of months before giving their relationship a second chance. Hugh finally proposed on 9 Feb 2009.

HEADS UP, Pie-Pie!

Its Too Far To Survive The Fall

Do you know how tormenting it is to enter a bookstore and leave without purchasing a thing? There I was, so excited to see Jessica's Guide on the new release section, but I held my breath because I know I can't afford it. (Hardcovers are such bitchesssssss)

then I saw City of Bones and City of Ashes!

AND MY HEART LITERALLY STOPPED BEATING.


I was cursing every second in my mind.

Since I am such a total dweeb, I read Clary's birthday part in City of Bones. I just love spoilers! I don't know why.

Oh and guess what? Sweethearts the paperback version is available in MPH!

p/s; I promise the next time I post, it will contain more than 250 character anddddddd it's not going to be about books. I just can't resist posting about books! PERGHHHHHHHH.

Let's Run Away From Here

Mortal Instruments Trilogy sounds fbabigila macam best.

Oh, and If I Stay by Gayle Forman is like bloody hell interesting.


I so badly want to read Mandy Hubbard's Prada and Prejudice out on June 11!

Anyone generous enough to buy these for me? :D



Why do I have to live in Malaysia? :o

You'd Be Inclined To Be Mine For The Taking

I don't care if you've been better. All I care is that you're trying to be greater.


This is not some stupid song where I tell you about the textures of your lips, or expressing that my love to you is so deep. This is just some pathetic attempt, lame I know, but my heart yearns for something more. I am that fool who screams on the top of the hill. Who blames nature for how his life turns out to be. I am the actor playing his last scene on stage. Who puts on a mask and smiles for the world. I am the singer who belts out the melody. Who reaches the highest notes because he cant reach up high on the sky. I am at fault, guilty as charged. Frisk me up, lock me down in the chamber. My soul has drifted away, gone but always in my mine, I will remember.


(i have a pretty imaginative brain, which brings me no good. Sad to say)

You Are Not Worth The Blood That Flows In My Vein

And with tears of blood he cleansed the hand,
The hand that held the steel:
For only blood can wipe out blood,
And only tears can heal

-Oscar Wilde

Najwa :D

I've known her for 8 years and god damn it woman, I love you!

I cant write a long post because a long post would be too long. I dont know how to start because you are so many wonderful things .


5 facts about her :


1. She's born on 7th June 1993 at Clinic Sambhi

2. Her house is like a pet shop.

3. She used to love Good Charlotte! (Haha. I still remember that)

4. She is Rupert Grint's number one fan

5. She prefer sad endings than happy endings


She is a multi-talented person. She writes beautifully, she takes ama-za-zing pictures, she's terribly good with photoshop, she plays the piano like a pro and to top all of that, she's a brilliant student!

But she is also the most modest person I know. Down-to-earth gila. She never brags about anything (except when it comes to books). Her collection of books is --well, lets just put it this way ; she's lucky I love her.

Oh, and she is a worse book-geek than I am! HAHAHAHAHA. She reads almost everything.


She used to tease me for being sentimental (because I sang along to Daniel Beddingfield's If You're Not The One) but Im sure she's much more of a softie than I will ever be. this is not a joke.

I know that we've grown apart these pst few years, Fatin but trust me when I say, you are that person who walks into my life when the whole world walks out. (I think its something like that. Tak ingatlah ur fav quote tu. Mine is so much easier ; I love you is eight letters, so is bullshit)

She was also the only one who came to my 11th Birthday Party! Yep, the only one. We ended up celebrating with my neighbours but thank you Fatin. For always being there.


I love you, Fatin Najwa even if you haven't read Perfect You yet. (haha, saja je nak tulis jugak)

I will love you sampai urat tercabut, sampai gigi tinggal dua, sampai kepala dah botak licin.


And woman, you are a damn charming lass wether you like it or not!

p/s; please invite me to your wedding :)

Hey, How about some ego boost?

Hi!

Just a quick post to say I'm off to tuition.

Haha, NOOO!

I just felt like boasting about Lisa Mcmann (yes, that author!) who just emailed me (what can I say? ;p) to say that I have a pretty name!!


HYPERVENTILATION STARTS NOW.


Okay gtg.

I am still cracking my brain to figure out what to write about Fatin! It is so hard.

Now, Don't Go Off Running Just Yet.

There I was, relieved that I could somehow run from the frenzy of familiar faces until I saw that annoying fag from Ampang, waving his arm frantically. A greeting, perhaps? Or is he really just excited to see me? Me, and my famiy that is. All that's left to it. Oh shit. I feel so embarassed that I might even give up eating sushi if it means no one will recognize me. What were the odds that this guy, this mo (if I could say so judging from his thick mascara, and constant hand gestures) from Genting would be transferred back to Klcc's. I mean, what? Is this some sign to say that I've been eating way too much sushi? Blame my little brother on that. But, I get enough of that in Ampang and Jusco AU. Now I need to get it at Klcc too? And to make matter worse, he actually sat with us and chatted up. As if he were our long-lost cousin from Beirut. What could a girl at the peak of adolescent stage could do but to slouch and slink back on her seat, willing that she was Sabrina The Teenage Witch and could dissapear. Adding insults to injury was that when I looked up, I saw the guy opposite of me. At the kaiten, was that guy who worked at Ampang too. He, of course did some chatting of his own with my father. Who looks like he's enjoying all that attention. Gosh, the moment of terror. I can't really complain, though. It is a father's job to embarass his kids, right? Wasn't it in some guide book on parenting for dummies?



Enough about that. I can't wait for Wolverine ; The Origin. Not much excited about seeing Hugh Jackman as I am about Taylor Kitsch. I wasn't a huge fan of him as say, Sarah Dessen. There was just something distant that didn't make me connected with his alter ego, Tim Riggins in FNL. But ZOMG, he was mighty fine in the trailer. Chris Pine was a sight for sore eyes in Star Trek, that is true. Not the greatest fan, watching Blind Dating changed that for me. He has potential.


Now I feel like I'm cheating on Gaspard. How can I forget him? With his translucent skin, dreamy eyes. His gaze sears into my soul.



HAHAHHAHAHA.


I actually sound like a normal teenager, wouldn't you say?


p/s; I bought The Hunger Games. In your face!

Sorry, I Take My Coffee Black.

Okay. I am flabbergasted. I am excited. Ask me why I'm excited? (and yes, it has something to do with books. Come on, don't you know me better?) I, of all people, found out that Little Black Dress will be making a reprint of See Jane Score. If you are a loyal reader of mine and remembers every tiny little detail I've mentioned you will remember me getting heartbroken over the fact that LBD doesn't make copies of the book. So, what a joy, indeed right!

See Jane Score is written by Rachel Gibson. Its a romance novel. (Oh no, there goes my secret!) Yeap, this is me self-professing that romance novels are my guilty pleasure. Exclusive :Breaking Story! E! News worthy. But hey, if Bette from Everybody Worth Knowing can read it since she's 12, so can I. and I'm 4 years older. Well, almost. In about 2 months and a half. Stop making fun of me. As if you don't have your own guilty pleasure. Oh, yes you do. You just don't know it yet. Anyway, I've read about 3 of Rachel Gibson's book but this, thiss was my favourite. All I had to do was read the summary and fell head over heels. You know how I can't resist the classic love-hate attraction. Just think 10 Things I Hate About You, and The Notebook.



Oh god, I can't wait to get my hands on this! Seriously, seriously! Rasa macam nak keluar rumah pukul 2 pagi ketuk pintu jiran lepas tu main kejar kejar.

The strange truth is, that there is already copy of this book in stores at Kinokuniya since last year. Published by Avon. I know, I couldve read it by now. I just wanted LBD to publish it. I don't know why. Strange, isnt it? Okay. Okay. So it might be a bit because LBD's book are way cheaper than Avon's. I mean, rm19.90 compared with rm31.96 (you do the math. I suck at math). And also of the cover. LBD has much much more interesting covers which won't cause other people giving me stares.


Now, all I have to do is wait. Wait for the book here, in Malaysia. Which I don't think will take very long. As far as I know lah.

I'll definitely see me score! Woooott

Oh, You Generous People!

I did my routine of blog hopping, just to see whats new on the lit blogs when POOF! I saw this title that, literally took my breath away. The Story Siren have decided to give out 10 arcs in honor of celebrating her 100k visitors! I KNOW RIGHT!!

* Coffeehouse Angel by Suzanne Selfors
* Sloane Sisters by Anna Carey
* A Map of the Known World by Lisa Anne Sandell
* Sea Change by Aimee Friedman
* Something Maybe by Elizabeth Scott
* The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan



I know for sure that my chances of actually winning all that is like zero to none, but hey a girl can dream, right? Gosh, just the thought of it. I feel like fainting wehhh.

10 arcs is like wow. I mean I would be glad just getting one book. but this is 10, and its arcs, no less!


Oh boy, here I go again. Lusting over this and get my heartbroken on April 8th when I realize I lost the contest.


THE THINGS THEY DO TO ME.

p/s; arcs is an acronym for Advance Reading Copies.

I knowwwwwww, swooooooooon.

Sebab Dia Spesel sikit, ye ke?

Okay lah. Sebab Adlin sucks tulis dekat blog dia yang Jundullah nak mengangkat langkah, memulakan perjalanan yang baru di syurga ilmu nun jauh di sana terasa macam ada getar dalam hati sebab dulu rapat dengan dia. So dengan azam yang menggunung mengalahkan Mount Everest, niat dalam hati diutamakan.


Mula mula, Adlin? Kita tak ingat pun pasal kita tanya Choral Speaking tu? (garu kepala tanda kekeliruan). Tapi hari bersejarah itu terpahat di dalam memori, umpama kaset lama yang ditekan main dan mula menayang di depan mata. Haha, Jun memang suka tampar orang. Tapi dia takut dengan kita, kan Jun? (Padahal dah tahu Jun tak pernah baca belok ni) Tak ingatlah macam mana boleh rapat dengan Jun ni. Rasanya pada tahun 2004. Cikgu susun tempat duduk kitorang, dia risau nanti semua bising. Al-maklumlah budak kecik kan? Cakap dengan kawan macam jauh sebenua. Masa tu, cikgu suruh duduk sebelah Asyikin. Memang haritu jugak kena ejek mati mati dengan Deeba. Sebab Asyikin ni pendiam orangnya, kita pulak cakap macam peluru pistol Mafia. Tak henti henti keluar bunyinya. Ntah apa ke halnya, Cikgu Halijah suruh tukar tempat lagi. (Cikgu memang, sajaaa. Nasib baik dia tolong kita pandai Math.) Kali ni, kena duduk sebelah Jun. Time tu, dah ketawa berdekah dekah sebab nama dia Jun. Ironinya, kita dilahirkan pada tarikh 1 haribulan Jun. Tak kenal pun si Jun tu.


Bila dapat kenal Jun, memang menyeronokkan betul lah.

Dalam sepanjang dua tahun nasib malang kena duduk sebelah dia,

Dia selalu dengar gossip kita.
Dia selalu kemaskan locker kita.
Dia selalu suruh kita pass surat dekat girlfriend dia.
Dia selalu buat homework Math kita.
Dia selalu buat kita bengang dengan lawak bodoh dia.

Orang cakap dia panas baran, tapi sepanjang kita kawan dengan dia. Dia tak pernah tinggikan suara pun. Dia lah orang paling sabar yang sanggup dengar cerita kita yang berjela lagi panjang dari rekod dunia lagu paling panjang Digg-Longplayer. Boleh ingat lagi muka Jun mengangguk-angguk dengar cerita kita.

Best of Luck!


p/s; Ye Fatin. Kita nak buat pasal awak lah lepas ni :D

This is tailor-made. What's the sense in waiting?

She said "I've gotta be honest,
You're wasting your time if you're fishing round here."
And I said "you must be mistaken,
I'm not fooling, this feeling is real."
She said "you gotta be crazy,
What do you take me for? Some kind of easy mark?"
"You've got wits, you've got looks,
You've got passion, but I swear that you've got me all wrong."


-As Lovers Go

I am aware of my incapability of multi-tasking. Or in this case, multi-blogging. From the looks of it, it seems like I can never fulfill my resolution, but then again when have I ever did?


SO holidays have finally come to aid. Thank you, just when I needed you most. Oh who am I kidding? I always need holidays. Homeworks are pilling up. No thanks to you. GAAAAAAAAAAWD, I need to get a life. I also need to set my sight on Farah Adiba bt. Jahari ( seingat kita lah nama dia macam itu). Gosh, I miss that woh-maaaaan! I should be glad that she still calls me once a week. She's a keeper. She really is.


Its always holidays that's the most stressful, truly. You want to do everything, EVERYTHING!
Which means, waking up early. What an agony! I can't be smiling all the time this week because while others can relax, Ihave to catch up with my studies. Yeah right, like thats ever going to happen. Muahahhahaha.

If there is one thing I'm looking forward for this holiday, its -unless you are living under the stone, you have already guess it so why bother telling you?-. Ya know, reading the lit blogs isnt always fun. I mean, yeah its exciting to find out new ones but when you get all perked up about buying it, and suddenly realise that you are living in the other side of the world - where books which was released 2 years ago is on the new releases shelf, - It's devastating. It, literally breaks your heart. Sigh. The things they do to you. Passion is hard to believe in especially when the whole world is against you.


Keep having faith because faith's the only one who will believe in you, always.

I Love You But I've Choosen Darkness

I was true as the sky is blue
I couldn't soon say the same for you
So now I find denial in my eyes
I'm mesmerized by the picture that's in my mind

Cause I've seen your act
And I know all the facts
I'm still in love with who I wish you were

It ain't hard to see
Who you are underneath
I'm still in love with who I wish you were


-- Kate Voegele

Celebrity Updates Tadaaaaaaa!

It is no shocking news to learn that I am always interested in celebrities.

This is the all-time top three list for celebrity couples (girlfriend and boyfriend, not wife and husband) break up which I've mourned over.

1. Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams



2. Michael Buble and Emily Blunt



3. Mark Ronson and Daisy Lowe



TEARS!

On a much happier note,

the cast of the Gossip Girl spin-off titled simply Lily is out!

Brittany Snow, Krysten Ritter and Andrew Mccarthy are among those who have agreed on filming this show.

Andrew McCarthy won me over as Blaine in Pretty in Pink

When I Feel Like I Can't Go On

I don't think my March resolution is working that well, but pergh who cares? I don't think I even have a loyal reader. Although I secretly yearn for one. Yes, that is a clue. Anyone?


I have been procascinating too long and I must go on with the endless tasks I have ahead. I've completed the introduction of that 'thing' I'm doing with Aiman but still unsatisfied so I might modify it a bit before forwading it to him. Don't worry, Aiman. You'll get it. Someday. Haha

What's new on books? I've been thinking about email-ing kinokuniya regarding the books out on March but haven't found the ideal time yet. Perhaps tomorrow, or I'll wait until its Tuesday because they only reply on working days.

I am thrilled to exclaim that there is a Book Contest that I might be entering! It's open to everyone around the world! ARGHHHHHHHHH. Amy commented on my erh, "secret blog" so I decided to pay her's a visit. I was gobsmacked to read the word contest. Perghhh, isn't it just fate? She's going to give out 5 books.

1. Bloom, Elizabeth Scott -- read it
2. Wake, Lisa McMann -- bought it and read it
3. City of Glass, Cassandra Clare -- looks interesting
4. Tithe, Holly Black -- heard about it,interested to know more!
5. Cracked Up To Be, Courtney Summers - SHRIEKS! The book I've been waiting for!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I desperately want to win this contest, but hey we'll se whose side is luck on right?


Before I forget, I have trucks of homeworks I need to unload. Why do you do these things to me?

I have to go, before I'll end up doomed for life.

Ooh, WISH ME LUCK FOR THE CONTEST! AND DO VISIT HER BLOG TO HELP ME GAIN MORE POINTS!

hehehe, just kidding. No peer pressure.

I'm So Sorry But I Can Do This No More

If there is a machine that could capture everything I have on my mind and write it automatically as a blog post, I might probably be on my 200th. Ah well, if there were such a thing. But there isn't, so you find my blog dead, with updates once a week. If only you know the truth.

If, If, If!
I'm sick of IF's! Why can't we make what we dream of happen? Is everyone relying on my generation to do all that? Why not set up an example? Why all the talks and no action? You cruel exterminator of castles in the air!

ARGHHHHHHHH! My brain is about to explode.


Yes, the above paragraph is necessary, as I am on the brinks right now. There is a highly huge chance that I might fall and never wake up. And then what? What? You're going to cry at my funeral? Is that going to bring me back? Its not. I'll be dead by then! I'll be in the casket all pale and no rosy lips of mine no more! You're going to be sorry then?! Huh?! Huh?!

Oh god, just humor me. I am very sensitive at this time of the month. Or week. Or day. Or hour. Shit, I am always sensitive.


I shall blog like there's no tomorrow today. I didn't get the part for my school's magazine, news received without any heart attacks or in this case, aches. I guess I know I'm not cut out for the part. Duh, it is so ob-vee-us. Who would want a girl who craps all the time? And shamelessly criticized the past year's works? Haha. I was very jittery and wasnt in control of blurting out the truth. Yes, I am such a blabbermouth. But oh well, what is done is done.

Lets be more serious, shall we?

I personally don't get people who dress too hard to impress. I mean, I do try to impress people but I don't think I actually try too hard. Or maybe I do try too hard but Ill get so worked up thinking about what people might say, I'll end up wearing my comfy clothes. I don't blame my paranoia. Its a good thing. At least I won't be a fake in the eyes of the crowd. Seriously though, I figure why don't just be yourself, or in my case ; look like you just woke up from sleep, and see if people like you. I have found quite a number of people who likes me no matter how scruffy I look like. At least I think they like me or maybe they are just really good pretenders. What do you get, really from wearing high waisted skirt, tops that shows off your cleavage, and 5 inches of make up just to go to the cinema? Everyone would be too busy to actually see the movie rather than spending their time complimenting your outfit. At the end of the day, you are the one who'll end up devastated. And that my dear is not good for your self esteem. Also, I seriously cant understand people who always seems to rebel against their parents? I know, teenagers are supposed to be rebellious but to actually over-do it is in no way negotiatable. If your limit is long sleeve and you wore short sleeve, that's acceptable. If you're wearing a knee length skirt when you must cover up until your ankle, that is still acceptable. But if you are supposed to be wearing a scarf covering everything up, and you are wearing a micro mini skirt, I mean hello? Do you need me to book you an appointment with the neurologist? I am not pointing fingers here, I am just stating it the way I see it. What pleasure does a mini skirt brings? Is it the way guys look at you? Or does it boost up your self confidence? What is it?

Enlighten me, oh wise one.

Simplicity is how you go,because life is already complicated.

My resolution for this month is to blog more than 10 post. We'll see if I can make it happen.






p/s ; Why do I only have 4 followers? Is my blog not worthy of followers? Come on, COME ON!
