I went out with my mom, just to have fun. Which explained why I had poached samlon and chives sauce, although I swear I could taste some milk in them. But that’sok, this is my third week, small amount of milk is allowed
Breakfast – Yogurt
Lunch – Buckwheat noodle
Dinner – Poached salmon with chives sauce
No exercise but hey I walked for 5 hours straight, that can be considered as exercise isn’t it? :P
I was craving for fried rice and I had some lean chicken left so I decided why not? Apparently, brown rice is not so appetizing as fried rice :P
Breakfast – Yogurt
Lunch – Fried rice- brown
Dinner – As per lunch
It was raining so I didn’t get the chance to jog. I know nice excuse right? Hehe
I seldom read books these days. Correction, I seldom read. Salah satu sebabnya I found myself tak boleh concentrate, I will have to reread one page for few times and that’s quite disappointing.
Yet I did try to read some books jugakla, mostly yang tak heavy – chic lits as people put it. Coz usually this type of books senang sikit, tak banyak benda nak kene ingat and absorb. Wahh tetibe macam baca buku kimiala pulak nak kene ingat semua [I hate chemistry by the way].
When I was in Jakarta, I wanted to buy My Sister’s Keeper tapi aku rasa harga dia tak berbaloi [taik idung masin] but when I saw the book here tetibe tak jadi beli. Hmm maybe because of the rave kot. Ntahla aku pon tak sure.
I bought another book instead, The Lace Reader.
Aku tak pernah dengar pun pasal buku ni but the first page caught my attention
My name is Towner White. No, that’s not exactly true. My real name is Sophya. Never believe me. I lie all the time
I am a crazy woman….The last part is true.
The crazy woman part got me.
I always love cerita pasal crazy woman, just story ye kalau bebetul aku tak sukala, menyemakkan otak aku je.
Mula-mula aku dah letak buku ni balik coz I saw “Eat Pray Love” tapi hmmm, I needed something less menonjol yang tak quote nama popular person like Julia Robert, so I went on and bayar.
Sikit punya panjangla intro. Heh
Okla finela, let’s talk about the book
The title speaks for it self, it’s about a girl who can tell the future by reading lace. Weirdkan, camanala pulak nak baca lace. But fret not, in the beginning of each chapter she will put a note, more like a guidelah how to read lace -which I found interesting. Not the readingla tapi the style that she used.
Reading this book somehow telah menyemarakkan minat membaca aku yang kian pudar. I can’t help but wonder
a) What actually happened?
b) What will happen next?
c) Does she really have some special power?
It’s magic bercampur witchcraft bercampur psycho and lots of other elements.
And I love the way she describe each characters and surrounding. I can actually imagine macamana yang dia describe – the place, the people. Eh tapi mungkin jugak sebab imaginasi aku terlampau-lampau kan hehe
The story adalah diceritakan tidak mengikut urutan so you really have to watch for small details supaya tak lost, sebab cerita ni juga diceritakan from few people’s perspectives.
You might tak paham certain things in the beginning but that’s ok, keep reading because it will be divulged one by one, chapter by chapter
But
What shocked me, was the ending.
Twisted 1
Susah jugak aku nak suka buku yang bukan bimbo-ish ni but I love this piece.
In fact, I am going to reread it tonight :)
