Handle with Care

I just bought and finished my first Jodi Picoult book last week. I must say, super super sad story. She specialises in novels that questions morals.

For example, the book with the same blog title which I bought, it's about this young girl named Willow who was born with a brittle bone disease. The family is already struggling financially as it is. So the mother, Charlotte decides to sue the doctor for wrongful birth., meaning if she had known earlier about the disease, she would have aborted the baby. Even though everyone will judge her and hate her, if she won, she would have enough money to ensure that Willow would be able to have the best care she can afford in the world. But the doctor she is suing, is Charlotte's best friend.

What would you do?

It's such a case of, I wouldn't know what I would do if I were in the situation type thing. Throughout the whole novel, the characters kept going playing the 'What if?' games. Life is so unpredictable and full of challenges. How does one really cope when you're already burdened with problems as it is?

Anyways, on a lighter note, I downloaded Jason Derulo's new album and I must say, it's pretty good. There's a song in there titled 'Riding Solo' which totally suits people who just got out of a relationship. This song celebrates being single and being able to go through the phase after breakup.

Hope you enjoy it!

Movies

Sorry for the lack of posts but I've been catching up on a lot of movies, both old and new for the past 2 weeks.. =)

Staying at home is one of the downside of being broke. Lucky for me, I have the internet, which means.. FREE MOVIES, right in the comfort of your own bed. =P

So, here is a list of the movies I watched:

Kick Ass - Awesome movie, imo.. The story itself was with good intentions, but was a bit twisted. But I somehow really really enjoyed it. Funny too.. Haha.. I really recommend this show.

The Mighty Ducks (3 movie series) - I love old skool cheesy movies like these. Back then, all movies were so simple, enjoyable and totally non-sexual.. Haha..

The Private Lives of Pippa Lee - I liked it, the story-telling was very interesting. Hopping from the present, to the past and back again. I also like the people in it. Keanu Reeves was so hawt with that tattoo, and Blake Lively (from Gossip Girl) was really good in the movie.

The A-Team - Hmmm.. I have mixed feelings about this one.. I thought it was alright.. A very macho man/explosions everywhere type action movie. Not my cup of tea..

Girl, Interrupted - I enjoyed it. Left me wanting more though, wondering about the individual characters.

Despicable Me - This one, I caught in the cinema. Surprisingly very funny and good. I usually steer clear away from animated movies unless they are from Pixar, because most of them really sucked in terms of story and humour, but this one here, is a winner! Lame and cute and sometimes, makes you go 'Awwwwwwwwwww......'. Must watch!

Anyways, that;s about it I guess. I'm not a very good movie reviewer, as you can tell from the above descriptions, but I hope it helps.. Haha...

Till next time! Take care!

Major sucks...

Sigh.. I failed my driving test today.. Major major SUCKS!

I had a cry over it..

No one to blame I guess.. My own mistakes, brought on by nerves and lack of sleep... Oh well..

Better luck next time...

Lazy weekend!

So, like the title says, nothing much done for the weekend. Except for the usual relaxing stuffs, like laundry, movie and cooking. =)

Went for yumcha on Saturday with Baobao and finally satisfied my 2 month old craving. Haha.. After the yumcha, went to watch RepoMan (starring Forest Whitaker and Jude Law). The movie was not bad, lots of action.. The ending is a bit twisted though. And lots of blood and gore.. Jude Law is pretty hawt too, lean and tattooed.. Too bad he's a cheater.

Went home after that and slacked in front of the PC till it's time for bed.

Woke up this morning and had another lazy day too, spent in bed, rolling around like a slug in a cabbage patch. Haha.. Did the laundry and some cooking.

Ever notice how time flies when you are having fun or not doing anything, just relaxing? Sigh, this awesome weekend just flew past.. Bleah, back to work for me tomorrow..

My driving test is this Friday, I am starting to get the jitters.. Sigh.. Help! Gonna have lessons scheduled for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday morning. Really really hope I pass first time.

That's all from me today. Hope you guys had an awesome weekend, and a great week ahead! Take care!

MilkTea

So, here's a post about MilkTea. 1 of my new hammies, the female..

She was born on the 12 Feb 2010, and I got her from a home breeder. She is super cute and fluffy.. She is also super energetic and loves to eat! Her goal in life is to become an explorer, which she does quite often when I take her out of her cage to play with her. She also likes to chew on wires and bra straps.

She has this little cube toy that I bought for her, made out of ceramic and has a hole cut out on each sides except for the bottom, which she likes to sleep inside and pop her head out of the top hole just to look at you when you walk past.

She has a really keen sense of smell because whenever I feed Mantou first instead of her, she will hang onto the side of her cage, eagerly awaiting her nomnoms. Although she is younger than Mantou by 6 days, she is heavier and chubbier than he is.

She has this trick, whereby she tries to act 'cute' so that she will not get into trouble, or try to beg a treat from me. I love this tiny fluff ball of trouble, because she is such a joy to me.

Here's some pictures of her.. =P Enjoy!

On the first day I got her. In this picture, she is grooming herself. Look how soft and fluffy her baby fur is... SO NICE!!


I grabbed her really tight, so that she would be still for this picture. Same first day, and she is still trying to get used to me as her owner.. =P


A week after being with me, in her nice new cage. Here, I just gave her a carrot slice and she's happily munching away.. She doesn't do this anymore, cause she just stuffs food into her cheek pouches to eat later..


Here, her cheek pouches are full of broccoli. Haha.. I love this picture, cause she looked like she got caught stealing food!

These series of pictures were taken just last week.

Having a blast manuvering in and out of my blanket.


Oh no, I got spotted!


Look at that cute furry butt!


Noooo!!! I did not chew the wire!! I swear!!!

Lol, that's all the mischief for now. =)
