Shopping In Popular Bookstore

It has been a long time I didn't buy any book. Yesterday, I went to Popular Bookstore, Gurney Plaza to buy some books.

I saw 'Life of Pi' and I bought it.

The movie was being screened in cinema few months ago. I thought the movie is a boring one. I never thought of watching. But yet, I watched it. I never regret. It was a great movie. There are a lot of meaning behind the story. I love this kind of movie. And so, I thought of buying the book. Finally now, I bought it.

Besides 'Life of Pi', I bought other books as well. But most of them are books relating to investment.

Well, I actually still have a number of books that I haven't read. From now onward, I think I shall spend more time on reading. Or else, I will be wasting my money in buying books.

Trend of Reading In Malaysia

These few days, when I went to bookstores, most the time I will be seeing the counters were having long queues.

Is it something to feel happy about?

The rate of reading in Malaysia has been increased?

If the answer is yes, I believe it's a good news to our nation.

However, I notice that a lot of people were there just because of this.



Yea, the book vouchers given by government under Budget 2012. The vouchers are expired end of this month. That's why a lot of people are rushing to buy something in bookstore as it's going to be expired soon. I wished I could get it, unfortunately, I graduated a little bit earlier.

We can see that the number of teenager buying book has increased. But the question now is on the reading rate. Does this plan help to increase the reading rate? Does this plan help to increase people's interest in reading? Does this plan help to enhance the knowledge of the people?

It takes a period of time to judge whether is this plan effective. So, let us wait to see it.

You Are the Apple of My Eye (Novel)

You Are the Apple of My Eye (the movie) is the movie that I have been recommending to my friends recently. I like it so much as I rated it as a 5 stars movie.

Thanks to my cousin. She saw my blog and knows that I am planning to read the novel version. She has the novel so she lent to me.

I have just finished reading it just now. Well, although I have read it, I am going to buy the book as well I think.

It's a very nice novel! It touches my heart, especially the last few chapter. It's so nice and touching. And I think, I am going to read it again and again.

The story.....
makes me think of a lot of past time.
makes me even love my girl friend even deeper.
makes me appreciate my girl friend and friends even more.
motivates me towards my dream.

One question, is the movie and novel similar?

It's quite similar and quite different as well. (am I telling rubbish? Hehe)

Well, there is an interesting part in the novel which doesn't have in the movie. There is another important girl in Ko Ching-Teng's life besides Shen Chia-Yi.

On the other hand, the novel doesn't have famous blogger, who acts as the best friend of Shen Chia-Yi.

Previously, my friend asked in Facebook on how people think on books written by Giddens. I initially rated 7 marks out of 10. That time, I read only 1 book of him before only. After watching the movie, I told my friend I wanted to take back that 7 marks. I am going to give the rating again after I read more books of him. Now, here is my re-rating, I am rating him 9 marks out of 10!

And now, Giddens Ko becomes one of my idol!

You Are the Apple of My Eye

This is a hot movie at this moment right? And a lot of people are giving great comment on this movie, right?

My colleague and my friends kept praising on this movie. They made me to have a strong desire to watch this movie.

Well, I managed to get a free movie ticket from 1st Avenue. Thanks to 1st Avenue!





Yea, I watched it with my friends yesterday. I was watching with a high expectation as so many people are saying this movie is extremely nice! And I actually worried something. Always, when we are expecting too much on a movie, it's hard to meat our expectation, perhaps we have put an expectation too high. I worried I would disappoint on this movie because I have put my expectation very high this time!

So, how is it?

Does this movie meets my high expection?

Surprisingly, it is more than satisfying me. It's awesome! It's extremely nice! I rate as 5-stars movie! It's the second love movie that I rated as 5-stars! Which is the first? Secret, the movie of Jay.

If you like to watch Secret, I can say, you will be loving this ones as well.

After the movie is over, I was feeling like I want to remains in the cinema. My heart was totally in the movie. It's really nice, sweet and touching.

Seriously, I might go to cinema to watch again. It's too nice! It's a movie that you not afford to miss! It's too nice.

And now, I understand why so many people are rushing to buy Giddens' books. My colleague also bought a book of this movie.

Well, how about me? Yea, I am planning to buy it as well.
