I still didn't managed to get my Mango Mousse cake! 。・゚(´□`)゚・。

But I got my novel - "The Virgin Suicides" by Jeffery Eugenides☆
On my way home while reading the book, I thought to myself:
"I'm already depressed and reading this will probably make me feel worse..."

I have also seen the movie adaptation.
In my opinion, it was a little draggy and a lack of adrenaline to keep you focused on the film.
Plus, I can't stand seeing Josh Hartnett in that shaggy 'do.

Also, I am gonna stay away from romance novels for a little while. (。・-・)


我还是买不到我最爱的芒果蛋糕! 。・゚(´□`)゚・。

不过我买了新的小说 - Jeffery Eugenides的《The Virgin Suicides》☆
回家的路上,我心里想 "现在已经心情低落了还看这么消沉的书..."

有没有看这部电影呢?
我觉得有缺少了一直想看下去的那种吸引力...

还有,我会暂时远离爱情小说. (。・-・)

Lookie!! My 7th book from UK Publisher Little Black Dress.
I've been wanting to get this title and found it yesterday! \(●^口^●)/


I've got the Harry Potter audio books in my iPod.
That way I won't need to bring my books out.
I'll just visualize in my head as the narrator read the book.

But listening to it, I can't concentrate on my new novel.
My brain can't process 2 stories at one time.
So I decided to put the book in my bag.

On the way home still listening to the audio book, I felt sleepy.
I'm pretty sure it's got to do with me just having had my lunch.
Plus, I felt that the narrator was telling me a bedtime story


你们看看!! 这是我从英国出版社Little Black Dress买的第7本耶~
这本书我瞄了很久,昨天终于买到了! \(●^口^●)/


我把《哈利伯特》的有声书放在iPod里.
这一来,我就不用带书本出门了。
讲演人在讲述时,我就会在脑海里把故事拼凑出来.

但是我一边听,我无法专心读着我刚买的书.
同一个时间读2个完全不同的故事,我做不到啦!!
所以,我最后还是把小说放回包包里.

回家的路上还在听有声书, 感觉有点困.
大概是因为我刚吃午餐吧.
再加上,我总觉得讲演人在跟我说睡前故事呢

I finished "Singletini" 2 days ago.
I quickly went to buy another romance novel "Confessions of an Air Hostess" yesterday.
This marks my 6th book from UK Publisher Little Black Dress.

I can't stop myself from reading this novel so I had to find something else to do.
I don't want to finish it so soon.
But I couldn't sleep last night and right now I'm reading it like there's no tomorrow.
I'm already at the middle of the book. (´・ω・`)


2天前把《Singletini》给看完了.
昨天下午又买了另一本浪漫小说《Confessions of an Air Hostess》.
这是我向英国出版社Little Black Dress买的第6本书哦.

我一直放不下这本书, 一直想读下去...
害得我一直在找别的事情做.
我不想那么快看完呢~
但我已经看了一大半了! (´・ω・`)

PS
Yes, that's Wannie's butt. 那就是万万的屁屁.

I could cry non-stop when I watch movies. The same applies to books.

- When Sirius Black died in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, I sobbed. (/。\)
- When Dumbledore died in Half-Blood Prince, I cried like there's no tomorrow. (ノ_・、)
I realized that I had used a huge pile of tissues after finishing my book.
- When Dobby died in Deathly Hallows, I cried again. o(´□`o)
He had just saved Harry and his friends only to be killed by Bellatrix Lestrange.
- When Harry used the Resurrection Stone, my tears rolled down my cheeks on cue. 。・゚(´□`)゚・。

Why do I get so sensitive and teary-eyed so easily? (´・ω・`)

Yesterday on the way home, I took out Marley & Me to read.
I kept fighting back my tears but I couldn't hold back no more.
So I had to put my book back in my bag and stared at the scenery on my ride home.
When I finally got home and continue to read, I just sat on my bed and sobbed uncontrollably.

・゜・(ノД`)・゜・。

I had stopped at the part where Marley had slipped into old age.
Marley had gone deaf, eyesight going blurry, teeth rotted away, fur shedding in vast quantities & arthrities had struck his joints.

One day, Marley's stomach swelled really badly which had been diagnosed as gastric dilatation-volvulus. According to the vet, it's a life-threatening condition. Thankfully, Marley survived.

Months later, Marley suffered another relapse; this time gravely serious.
The author, John and his family decided to let old Marley go.

I walked back inside and asked the doctor if I could have a couple of minutes alone with him. She warned me that he was heavily sedated. "Take all the time you need," she said. I found him unconscious on the stretcher on the floor, an IV shunt in his forearm. I got down on my knees and ran my fingers thorough his fur, the way he liked. I ran my hand down his back.
I lifted each floppy ear in my hands and felt their weight. I pulled his lip up and looked at his lousy, worn-out teeth. I picked up a front paw and cupped it in my hand. Then I dropped my forehead against his and sat there for a long time, as if I could telegraph a message through out two skulls, from my brain to his.



As I was trying to fight back tears during my ride home, "Unchained Melody" by the Righteous Brothers was playing on my iPod.

I love that song (and the movie Ghost) and it can make me cry instantly. No exaggerating there.

Before I began to type this entry, I had turned on the radio and the love song is on air!
And I started to cry again as I start to type... o(≧ヘ≦o)

Right now, my eyes are red and dry.
My eye cream is totally ruined.
I'm gonna look terrible when I wake up tomorrow. (T^T)

看电影能看到哭得稀里哗啦. 阅读书本的时候也一样.

- 当Sirius Black 在《哈利伯特 ・ 第5本》被杀的时候,我哭了. (/。\)
- 当Dumbledore在《哈利伯特 ・ 第6本》死的时候, 我又哭了. (ノ_・、)
- 当Dobby在《哈利伯特 ・ 第7本》被谋杀的时候... o(´□`o)
- 当Harry用复活石的时候, 我的眼泪不由自足地流下来了. 。・゚(´□`)゚・。

我为什么那么敏感、又容易哭呢? (´・ω・`)

昨天在回家的路上,我继续阅读《Marley & Me》.
一边哭、一边强忍着眼泪.
最终投降,把书本放回包包里.
一回到家就不顾一切地读着...
我就坐在床上,痛痛快快地大哭一场

.・゜・(ノД`)・゜・。

Marley已经到了年老的年纪了.
聋了、眼力一片模糊、牙齿坏了、严重脱毛、关节疼痛.

一天,Marley的肚子严重红肿.
兽医说这是个会致命的病情.
谢天谢地, Marley活了下来.

数月后,Marley的肚子又肿了起来; 这次更严重了.
作者John以及他的家人决定该是时候让年老的Marley走了...
John跟Marley共处的那最后几分钟,我更是泣不成声.


在回家的路上,我的iPod开始播着Righteous Brothers的"Unchained Melody"
我超爱这首歌(以及电影《Ghost》), 我能一听这首歌就掉眼泪. 不吹牛哦.

在我开始写这篇文章的时候,我开着收音机 --- 这首歌正在播映耶!
我又哭了啦!! o(≧ヘ≦o)

现在我的眼睛红、肿、干.
明天一早我一定很难看. (T^T)

Too engrossed oi(^-^)

I've been wanting to get this book but I don't feel a rush to buy it.

It was announced last week that a movie will be filmed based on the book starring Owen Wilson & Jennifer Aniston!  Woohoo!! (σ^0^)σ
I told myself that I'll get the book once I'm done with "Accidentally Engaged."
Well, I spent the whole of yesterday's afternoon finishing up the book!

Today, I headed straight to the bookstore at the mall & bought it!
"Marley & Me!!" ε=ε=ε=ε=ε=(o・・)o
I wish I could get myself a dog too...

Speaking of which, I need to go pay attention to my Nintendogs.
Been busy reading that I've not fed or bathe them for weeks! m(_ _)m


太沉迷 oi(^-^)

我一直很想买这本书可是觉得少了一股冲动.

上个星期有公文宣告这本书会拍成电影呢!
而且会由Owen Wilson和Jennifer Aniston主演!! (σ^0^)σ
我就告诉自己,看完手头上的小说才买吧~
嘻嘻... 昨天我花了整个下午把书本看完了哦!

今天中午,我第一时间就走进书局,买了《Marley & Me》! ε=ε=ε=ε=ε=(o・・)o
其实我一直很想养只狗耶...

说起养狗,我应该去看看我的Nintendogs.
我一直在看书,已经有几个星期没有喂、帮他们冲凉了! m(_ _)m
