Merde! Scheisse! Shit!

OMG...I'm so rushing into finishing up that Merde book. The fonts are big though, so I reckon, if I give my complete concentration, I can finish it up in a whizz. Nothing much to report here actually. Pigging session is up tonight and hoping I only meet strangers.

Just to shout out here, I really envy those people who opened up that online clothing line. Actually, I love those online boutiques and am itching to buy most of them and dreaming to have one of my own with my type of clothings you know. Merde! Online shopping is so bloody in. I will soon, order and order and burn only tiny bits of credit from the bank account.

I shall end this ridiculous post with less Merde, no more Scheisse and of course no Shit!

*Merde is French while Scheisse is Deutsch for that word calls Shit!

I love Chic Lit!

Have you ever thought that a walk in the 'forest' can bump you into super bargain price of fabulous Chic Lit books? It never crossed your mind at all , am I right? I was one of the luckiest people to bump into a book stall where they sell 'new' second hand books for only 5 bucks a piece. That's MYR5 not USD5 okay!

My only other book buying competitor was this extremely fair skinned lady. She looks pale actually. She was the one who started the books grabbing frenzy by getting her hands on books after books and best of all, most of them books I happen to like too. Damn. But thinking again about the possibility of getting too many books merely for collection purposes, I grabbed 3 very awesome books. Oh well, at least it's awesome enough for me.

The selections are :
1. Shopaholic Takes Manhattan by the very famous Sophie Kinsella.
My first read on her book was Shopaholic and Baby. Bought it for something way cheaper than Malaysian pricing while I was in India. Since there's nothing much to do there other than working, most of us simply resort to buying lots of books while we were there.

2. The Nanny Diaries by Nicola Kraus & Emma McLaughlin.
I remember buying this book for my friend for her birthday present cum gift exchange present that we all had to give. That was like a year ago I think. I also read a couple of chapters of the book before wrapping it up in the gift wraps. Hehe.

3. A Year In The Merde by Stephen Clarke.
Thanks to Weng for introducing this 'Merde' book series. Although it took me close to a year to finish reading Merde Actually and returning it back to the rightful owner, nevertheless, I'm so looking forward to read this edition of the bloody Merde. Oh in case you all didn't know already, merde means shit in French. Like Scheisse in German. Haha.

Since I have these 3 books with me, that means, my collection of 'unread' books have accumulated to more than 5 books. I had 3 books which I bought from MPH early this year that I've yet to finish reading. Hmm... in case some of you are interested to get your hands on these books, once I'm done reading, do let me know. I may be giving away them for half price or whatever the price you bargain for. My other books will be :

Angels and Demons by Dan Brown - still struggling to finish reading it although I already watched the movie
Hannibal Rising by Thomas Harris - watched the movie too like ages ago but the book is nicely placed on the shelf waiting to be opened and read.
Everyone Worth Knowing by Lauren Weisberger - I'm done reading this
Chasing Harry Winston by Lauren Weisberger - Done reading this too. Bought this one in India.
If You Could See Me Now by Cecilia Ahern - Done reading

p.s: getting rid of all these books will help for me to get other books to stock the shelves again! Ain't that wonderful. Drop a line if you are interested in any of the books.

Eat, Pray, Love

Eat, Pray, Love. Three simple steps of life. Well at least that's how simple it seems when it's written in a book.

Eat, Pray, Love is a book written by Elizabeth Gilbert. I had a chance to skim through the book somewhere at MPH. Man, I was hooked on it and I was literally standing and reading for nearly 30 minutes until my feet got sore . Every strategic sitting corners around the area was occupied with other bookworms alike and I simply settled for the standing-reading mode. Each one them sitting-readers are enjoying free reading of 'pricey' books and yours truly included. Hehe.

Initially, I was contemplating on whether I should buy the book and read it at home. But, I had to make sure it was worth the buy so that got me flipping from the Eat chapter, to the Pray chapter and finally the Love chapter. Oops, fyi, the book is divided into three main chapters:Eat, Pray, Love. Thus, explains the title of the book.

Eat - I didn't read so much on this part. It's more about her journey to Italy and indulging on loads of pasta. And I skipped to Pray.

Pray - Her journey to India where she found herself praying and meditating at the ashrams. Seeking for her spritiual journey in India. I skipped this part too. I'm not particularly interested in learning about Hinduism. If it's Christianity, Jews, Islam - I'll be reading for sure!

Love - This is the most intriguing part of all and this is where I'm hooked. Hehe. She had her bout of 'love escapade' in Bali. In this chapter, she explained how she had been maintaining celibacy since her divorce. And story cut short, she met the love of her life, a Brazilian guy and they made lotsa passionate love making. Until one day,due to too much love making she contracted a urinary tract infection. She decided to seek medical treatment from the local Balinese healer to get some traditional local remedy which works surprisingly fast and well for her. Her visits to this lady healer enfolds more interesting, true story about a Balinese life.

From her stories, I've learnt that Balinese men cannot accept the fact that some of them may have issues of being impotent and in order to solve issues of making babies between spouses with impotency, it's normal for the local healer to invite young men who are generally cabbies around the Bali town to casually sleep with the wife's of the 'problematic' husbands without any fees. It was just the healer way of helping Balinese men to procreate their clan. Haha. Or in other words, the healer is helping to heal impotency issues by inevitably becoming a pro at pimping. LOL! I was shocked reading that they take it so casually and there's nothing wrong to doing it as long as the husband didn't know anything about it of course. Oh well, I guess it's just how life is in certain parts of the world.

Having read all those, I decided not to buy and keep the book. It was a fun read though. And yeah, they are making a movie out of this book and perhaps we should go check the movie out soon!

The Last Lecture

I got a hold of this book and had a quick sneak read of the entire book. Frankfully, I wouldn't have known about Randy Pausch or wouldn't even understood why people posted YouTube clips of Pausch giving a last lecture. Thanks to Oprah, my all time favourite show, and on a little note, I think everyone in Malaysia should watch more of Oprah among other things. Okay I got a bit derailed from topic. Okay thanks to Oprah, I finally got introduced to the late Randy Pausch through one of Dr. Oz's shows in Oprah.

A quickie on Randy Pausch :
"On September 18, 2007, computer science professor Randy Pausch stepped in front of an audience of 400 people at Carnegie Mellon University to deliver a last lecture called “Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams.” With slides of his CT scans beaming out to the audience, Randy told his audience about the cancer that is devouring his pancreas and that will claim his life in a matter of months. On the stage that day, Randy was youthful, energetic, handsome, often cheerfully, darkly funny. He seemed invincible. But this was a brief moment, as he himself acknowledged.

Randy’s lecture has become a phenomenon, as has the book he wrote based on the same principles, celebrating the dreams we all strive to make realities. Sadly, Randy lost his battle to pancreatic cancer on July 25th, 2008, but his legacy will continue to inspire us all, for generations to come. ". - Quoted from http://www.thelastlecture.com/

It's totally inspiring to have someone who battled their last feat in life out of cancer and in the end left the world with an excerpt of hope from his book for everyone to ponder and hopefully mend that little defects they are doing right now in their life. As I flipped through the pages, I was glad that I am pretty much on the right track when it comes to having the right attitude in life so that life is totally lived and not wasted.

The Last Lecture is yet another excellent motivational read and if you happen to go to the mall, do take a quick pit stop to the bookstore and read a bit of this book and it's a whole lot better if you just grab and buy it!

and...

To Randy,
Thank you for the inspirations and May God Bless you!

Merde Actually!

Hon Weng! Dude! It's taking me forever to finish up that "Merde (Shit in French) Actually" book. The only time I'm spending time to read is while I'm in the toilet doing my business. Reading it that way makes it more 'page turner' than usual. Thank you.=p
