Crucified

For your information, I fried my laptop's motherboard during Christmas. Since then, I've been waiting for a new one to arrive for almost a month now. Waiting for my new Dell. During this period of pure agony, I've taken books as a substitute.

According to Lydia Teh in her book 'Honk! If You're a Malaysian, Malaysians' favourite pass time is eating. And the average amount of books read by Malaysians in a year is 2. However, during this I-almost-die-because-I-don't-have-a-laptop period, I have read...let's see, Shopaholic Ties The Knot, Shopaholic Takes Manhattan and Shopaholic and Sister by Sophie Kinsella, Angels and Demons by Dan Brown, Twilight by Stephenie Meyer, Honk! If You're A Malaysian by Lydia Teh and is currently starting another book - Life's Like That, also by Lydia Teh. So that will be 7 books in 1 month. Gonna raise the record single-handedly!!

I finished Honk! If You're A Malsysian by Lydia Teh in a day. Expecting the latter by Lydia Teh to be the same. So I have done a to-read list, coming up next will have to be one that will last, the Old Testament perhaps. I tend to only pick up books that is in English, including Bibles though I'm not a Christian. I have an Old Testament at home, no idea how it got there. However, hope it is still there.

In the meantime, I would also like to thank my dear friends - Leong De Lon, Lai lee, Zi Siang, Chin Siang, who brought me out for CC sessions, and my housemate - Leo and my cousin Tan Kin Yau and his brother Kin Thien for lending me their laptops. They have been my lifesaver. It is like I've been crucified and they are a strong dose of analgesics injected into me, temporarily relieving my pain. Thank you!

P.S - I'm still waiting for my laptop. Sigh....
