I was feeling restless yesterday morning and decided to surf Amazon.com

...where I came across Albert Camus's best-selling novel The Plague.

The reviews given by other readers were enough to convince me to get it.
And so I did, that very afternoon☆

Now I'm trying to finish The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic,
reading it at every given opportunity.


Today marks the first Death Anniversary of the late Heath Ledger.

Nominations for the 2009 Academy Awards will be announced in less than 48 hours.

To win the most prestigious award for his performance as The Joker in The Dark Knight,
it's time to get Serious ヽ( ゜ー゜)ノ


昨天早上觉得有点懒散,就索性到Amazon的网站去逛逛

...就在那无意中看到了Albert Camus的畅销小说《The Plague.

其他的读者给了很高的评价呢~
小女子,就是我啦!! 下午就跑去买咯☆

现在我一有机会就看《The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic》,希望能快点读完.


今天是已故Heath Ledger的一周年忌日.

2009的奧斯卡奖的提名名单即将在48小时后揭晓.

能凭在《The Dark Knight》饰演的The Joker一角,能得到演艺界最高荣誉的奖,要加油哦!!

The upcoming movie Confessions of a Shopaholic is based on Sophie Kinsella's besting selling novel The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic.

Having seen the trailer, it just doesn't appeal to me.
I would prefer Amy Adams as Becky, though.

Flow of the writing isn't as smooth as the previous novel that I'd read.
And I'm gonna read it slowly, like it's possible (lol)

At the cashier I got a free bookmark, containing loads of great quotes☆

"A room without books is like a body without a soul" - Cicero

"To acquire the habit of reading is to construct for yourself a refuge from almost all of the miseries of life." - W. Somerset Maugham

"Books are not made for furniture, but there is nothing else that are so beautifully furnishes a house." - Henry Ward Beecher

"We read to know we are not alone." - C.S. Lewis

Don't they sound meaningful? oi(^-^)
I have a habit of collecting quotes; these are quickly up to my Top 10 list~.


Confessions of a Shopaholic》这部电影是改编自Sophie Kinsella畅销原著小说《The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic

看了预告片,好像不怎么好看呢...
我比较中意Amy Adams来饰演Becky这个角色耶~

故事的写法不像我读上一本一样的顺畅...
不过,我还是会慢慢看,你说有可能吗 (笑)

在付钱的当儿,我拿了免费的书签,有很多金字物语呢☆

是不是很有意思啊? oi(^-^)
我有收集金字名言的习惯,而这些很快就上头10名的榜上咯~.

I have never been one to believe in fairy tales.
True, I love "Snow White" and especially "The Little Mermaid,"
but these are just stories to keep little girls entertained.

Recently Tim Burton announced Alice in Wonderland as his next project.
I had never really know the story, nor care to watch the 1951 animation when I was younger.

So I went to get Lewis Carroll's novel~.
It's never too late to get myself acquainted, right☆

The film will feature Johhny Depp, Alan Rickman & Michael Sheen as the White Rabbit



After a month-long of pinning, a new episode of Supernatural airs tomorrow!

Hooray!! o(^o^)o

I seriously can't wait for the "After School Special" episode!!


我从来不相信童话故事.
我个人很喜欢《白雪公主》和《美人鱼》,不通过这些只是陪伴小女生的故事罢了.

最近Tim Burton宣布拍摄《Alice in Wonderland》.
我发现我对该故事不熟,小时候对1951年的动画也没兴趣看.

所以我买了 Lewis Carroll先生的小说~.
虽然是迟了一点,但总比不看好吧☆

电影里的演员包括Johhny Depp, Alan Rickman 以及饰演白兔的Michael Sheen


苦苦期待了一个月,新一集的Supernatural明天即将播映咯!

哇呀呀!! o(^o^)o

好像现在就看"After School Special" 这一集哦!!

I got it!

I finally got it!! ヾ(^▽^)ノ

The Tales of Beedle The Bard only have 105 pages...
I'm definitely able to finish it this afternoon~.

It's closely related to the 7th book Deathly Hallows, if you don't know.

All my Harry Potter novels are UK editions.
I told myself to get the same edition, though I don't see the US edition..

The illustrations drawn by J.K.Rowling are marvelous☆

Recently I've been too absorbed with anime Skip Beat!
The Taiwanese adaptation starts production this month, starring Jerry Yan.

I can't wait~!! σ(^。^;

PS
Happy Wedding Anniversary to my parents!
They are out enjoying their lone time right now (lol)


买到了!

我终于买到啦!! ヾ(^▽^)ノ

The Tales of Beedle The Bard》只有105页而已呢...
这个下午应该看得完哦~.

若你还不知道的话,该本书跟弟7本《Deathly Hallows》息息相关.


我所有的哈利波特的小说都是欧美版的.
所以我告诉自己不用再多虑了,不过美国的版本我没看到耶...

书里的画画也是由J.K.Rowling包办的,很美哟☆

最近沉迷于《Skip Beat!
台湾即将在这个月开拍,言承旭也有参与演出.

我迫不及待想看~!! σ(^。^;

PS
今天是我父母的结婚周年纪念日!
他们现在啊... 正在享受二人世界 (笑)

Saturday - 2 hours before closing time, only a couple of breathing souls in the Post Office.
Do you know how annoying it is to queue for 30 minutes, just to mail out 3 gifts which only takes me 5 minutes tops? And I'm peeved that I have to pay 10 cents extra for each [Air Mail] stickers, which I never need to pay for before.

I still have yet the courage to get those cards which allows you to voice-record, though.
Maybe next time☆

Next on my agenda was to head straight to my bookstore, the one I buy most of my books (lol)
I went straight to the Young Adult section, grab my book and made my way gleefully to the cashier. ヽ( ゜ー゜)ノ

It doesn't disappoint!! σ(^。^;

I spent the night reading till my eyes turned moist from too much yawning.
And when I start rubbing my eyes, it's an obvious sign that I should go to bed whether I like it or not.

Sunday - Starting from Chapter 16 at 10am, I read it all the way till 1pm.
I ended up with a bad flu, my nose looking like Rudolph the red-nosed Reindeer.
After 3 whole hours of sobbing (it's not exaggeration!), my chest felt extremely heavy that it's hard to breathe. I'd kept all the weeping sounds inside me that they cluster & form into a huge rock, sitting on my chest. (ノ_・、)

It's not the first time that I'd cried while reading, but I have never done so for 3 hours straight!
The last few times I've cried so hard when when Marley the dog had died & the ending of "My Sister's Keeper." Also when Dumbledore died and the Hogwarts gang talked about it in the hospital wing, and when Dobby died! (つд⊂)

Thank God I found this novel, another gem that I've read this year!



星期六 - 在邮局关门之前的2个钟头,幸好没有很多人.
你知不知道排队半个钟头有多么难受,尤其我只是要寄出3份礼物而且只需要短短的5分钟呢!
现在每一张[空邮]贴纸要加付一毛钱,以前都不用的! 气不气人呢?!

我还未有勇气购买能录制口信的卡片...
下次吧☆

接下来我就直奔到书局,直接拿了小说就兴奋地到柜台付钱. ヽ( ゜ー゜)ノ

真的没令我失望耶!! σ(^。^;


晚上开始阅读,一直到眼睛变得湿湿的,大概是哈欠打多了吧.
当我开始搓揉眼睛,那表示无论喜欢与否,是时候睡觉了.

星期天 - 早上10点从第16章继续阅读,一直到下午1点.
看完后,伤风就来了. 鼻子搓得红肿肿的.
哭了连续3个小时(我没有骗你!),胸口闷闷的,连呼吸都很困难.
泣不成声,把声音都埋在心里,貌似结成一块大石头压坐在胸口上. (ノ_・、)

边看小说边哭,不是我的第一次. 可是我从来没有哭了整3个钟头呢!
之前苦的原因是当那只狗Marley死的时候,以及《My Sister's Keeper》的结局.
还有,当我读到Dumbledore和Dobby死的那一刻... (つд⊂)

很庆幸发现这本小说,是本年度另一本很棒的哟!
