Book 5




I’m currently very busy at the office. Peak period of 2015 just started. And it will last until August. So, I’m trying hard to keep my pace of reading, watching my favourite Korean show, eating and sleeping. Hehe. And to be honest, I’m a little bit behind the schedule.

It’s ok though. Work comes first. So, before I read this, I actually read Dorothy Koomson (The Rose Petal Beach). Halfway through the second chapter, I realized I already read it. I don’t remember where I read it though. I guess I read it while I was very keen on reading e-book. Same case like House Rules, Jodi Picoult. I think that's why I already know what the ending of the book was. It’s because I already read it in e-book version. E-book is so hard to keep track to.

I read a lot of e-book during this one time and I can’t even remember what I already read and not.

So yeah, back to the book.

This book is quite interesting read for me. Basically it’s about a married man, Paul Macelli who fall in love with somebody’s wife, Annie O’Neill. Then, one night, Annie die. And the person who treat Annie at the hospital that night was Paul’s wife, Olivia Simon. Annie have a husband (Alec O’Neill) and two children – Clay and Lacey.

After Annie’s death, Paul decided to leave his wife who then found out she’s pregnant. So, Olivia being curious with what makes Paul fall in love with Annie, decide to learn about Annie. She started doing things that Annie was doing and found Annie’s husband, Alec.

There are so much happening in this book and its definitely worth to be read once again.

I want to write some more but I need to go. Write to you soon. I'm reading Dorothy Koomson other book, The Cupid Effect. This one though not really much, might take me some time to finish just because I'm too busy. So yeah, talk to you soon!


Bye!

Book 4


To be honest, I don't really like this book. I spent a week to finish 200++ pages. Its basically a story about a mother, Olivia who lost his autistic son, Anthony. 

After her son dead, she and her husband divorced so she move to Nantucket, a small island where another woman name Beth is living. Beth is currently separated from his husband because her husband is cheating on her.

Beth is a writer. While Olivia is working as an editor before she moved to Nantucket and she loves photography.

So in the event of all thats been happening, Olivia take up on photography business for some cash during her living at Nantucket while Beth takes up back writing.

Beth write about an autistic boy and when Olivia read it, she knows that its her son voice.

So yeah, that basically it.

2014

It’s already been a week of the New Year – 2015. I’m here to write a little bit of what had happened to me for the past year.

The thing that I remember the most would be how I lost my sense of taste for about 8 months post tonsillectomy. Well, having tonsillectomy is actually a blessing. The last couple of years, the condition of my tonsils deteriorate so fast that it affect my health so much. I spent a year (2012-2013) going to hospital for check-up and various tests just to make sure that I’m fit for the surgery.

And I am thankful that the surgery on December 2013 went well. It’s just like yesterday it happened. I can vividly remember every steps of the way before I went for surgery and after. How cold and very bright the OT was. How fast I fell asleep after the anaesthesiologist told me take a deep breath when he put the oxygen mask on me. How suddenly I was woken up by the OT nurse when it’s finished. How sleepy I feel after that.

My mom was the only one who was there with me in every step of the way. And for that I am really thankful.

After I recovered from the surgery, I lost all my sense of taste. I was very frustrated with all that but relieved when I get it back later approximately before Ramadhan which is last August.

A lot of happy things also happened to me last year. Spent a whole lot of time at home when I am not working, with family. Went to ice skating with darling siblings and favourite cousins in the world for the first time in my life. Managed to fall twice or is it three times? HAHAHA.

With Allah’s will, managed to go for real oversea trip (Bandung) for the first time with family on March. Then, we went to Pangkor on June. And my sister and I went for a short holiday to Sarawak on December. Alhamdulillah. Allah have been the best to our family last year. May He always bless our family with health and wealth. And may He always guide us to the right path. Amin.

I was very upset and sad when no one remember my 26th birthday last year, apart from my family. I kept saying to myself, never mind, it’s ok. It’s just a birthday. You see, I didn’t expect anything on my birthday except for a nice birthday wish. My family is not really big on birthday. But we still wish each other and it’s really nice to receive that wish. To be honest, I wait all day for that birthday wish from my dear friends and when I didn’t received any, it broke my heart. I know it’s childish. Anyway, I took quite a long time to recover from it. I’m ok now. It taught me a very good lesson. Which is not to expect anything and people have their own life which obviously is more important. So, it’s okay. I’m okay now.

I deactivated my twitter account last year. A friend ask me why. I can’t really answer it. I read my archives and realized how stupid I sound. I cringe every time I went through the archive and whenever I want to write something on twitter I cannot find the right way to wrote it out. So I thought, I am better off without twitter since it didn’t really help me in daily life. And I am honestly sick of reading other people thoughts too actually. HAHAHA. So now, I am solely on Instagram. My facebook account is still there. But it basically for family. So yeah.

I am truly happy at work. Well, not very happy until I want to laugh and have fun every day at office. There are ups and down at office. But I am happy with the kind of work I’m doing now. The flexibility of it. I am happy to be doing what I love most since I was young – anything IT related. And since I don’t really have any issue right now at the office, I’m envisioning myself to be working here for at least another three to four years? Insyaallah. May Allah ease. Amin. 


So yeah, that basically it, my 2014. I don’t have any specific goals to achieve this year. I just want to have as many fun and happy moments as I can this year. I also want to travel to as many places as I can and may Allah permit. I will be 27 this year. 3 more years before I hit 30. I always wanted to travel the world and I hope I can achieve this. I hope I can be more positive and livelier person this year. I hope my family will always do well in everything they do. And I pray Allah will guide me to the right path. Amin.. Amin.. :)
