The Time Traveler's Wife Review
0 bird(s) chirped
This book is the best romance novel that I ever read. It has changed my perception of love which can be very powerful in one's life. The best phrase that I read from this book told by Henry to Claire, "I love you because you can't see my imperfection." Wow, my heart skipped a beat. There are many love phrases and lovey paragraphs written in this thick book. It has given me inspiration about being in love and being able to live together throughout the joy and pain in life.
Henry summarized his love for Claire in a letter to her after they've been for married for many years:
Claire, I want to tell you, again, I love you. Our love has been the thread through the labyrinth, the net under the high-wire walker, the only real thing in this strange life of mine that I could ever trust. Tonight I feel that my love for you has more density in this world than I do, myself: as though it could linger on after me and surround you, keep you, hold you.
I would recommend this book to anyone who loves romance novel. This book will make you happy as they share their love, will make you cry when Henry time travels while Claire waiting patiently for him, will make you feel pain when Henry injured during time travel, will make you tear when Henry appear again (he was dead) when Claire was 70 years old woman.
Well, I will treasure this book together with my favourite DaVinci Code and Angels and Demons. I guess once in a while I will read this book again to get inspiration about love. :)

Lumut Lomo photos
I have been quite busy with my personal issue, meeting up with friends, lomo-ing while travelling and adding more creation to my Etsy. I hope that I'm able to update my blog as often as I could in few days more. Anyway, I have added many lomo photos of places that I went in my fb. I will still blog about it although it happened about 2 months ago.
During last Merdeka Day, I went back to Ipoh for a long holiday. Since I have nothing much to do at home, Bobby, his cousins and I spent time at strolling at Lumut and had sumptuous seafood meal in Pantai Remis.
Here's are some photo that are taken from my UWS. These photos are taken with Sensia films.
I especially love the last photo. It's so breathtaking and vivid with colours. I'm thinking of printing it and make a postcard out of it.

Lomo photos
Wow, i haven't been updating my blog last month...oops, I was too busy.
Ok, a little updates on what I did in last August. I bought White Slim Angel Ultra Wide Lens Lomo camera and a few rolls of negative and positive films. Initially I find it weird using film camera because I can't view back after capturing photos. Anyway, that's the best part because just shoot and don't worry the rest.
Here's the first negative roll that I used for practising UWS camera
More pics in my facebook. :) Btw, I used Kodak Ultramax 400 film.On the 2nd weekend in August, Kelly, Ooi, Bobby and I went to Tg Sepat for seafood and photography. It was fun and enjoyable trip. I like seaside view and of course, the seafood. Here's some pics taken with my lomo camera.
~~~~Tanjung Sepat seaside photos ~~~
All the above photos are taken from Kodak EBX roll.
Next, we proceed to Morib Sepang Gold Coast.
The famous pau shop in Tanjung Sepat
All these photos are taken with Velvia 50 film.
I will post more updates in Aug soon..

Butterfly Earrings
I have been procastinating of making a pair of earrings for my friend as her birthday gift. Seems that she has seen most of my crafts are from paper work, hence I ponder that I should try something new.
How about earrings that are made from Swarovski Crystals? I like Swarovski Crystals because it's very glitters under light and it's very attractive to wearer.
Few weeks ago, I read about tutorial of Butterfly Earrings from Beading blog and would like to try making it.

Analogy with weather and life
Every morning, while standing in a packed LRT to work, I always gaze outside the window and view the densely high rise buildings in KL from far. That is the time that my mind would be wandering around with full of imagination or nonsense dream. Sometimes when I am too tired, I will catch a wink though I m just standing while holding on hand rails.
This morning while on the way to work on LRT, I was quite disappointed with our gloomy sky. I pondered about our polluted air and our worsen weather and created an analogy with our life.
When it's hot and sunny weather, we complained why so hot and hoped when the rain drops.
When it's rainy weather, we complained why so wet and hoped when the sun will shine again.
When it's neither sunny nor rainy weather, it's haze and we complained why haze and hoped that rain will clear the sky.
When it rained during hazy day, it's still hazy and stuffy. Isn't it ironic?
Same goes to us, we will never satisfied with what we have and what we wished in our life. We wished and dreamed for perfect life but that will never happen. Life will never be smooth journey or else that will be a dull and a boring journey. Hence, we should cherish what we have and make full use of our strength to overcome our weakness.
There goes with a quote "It takes both rain and shine to make a perfect rainbow."
By celebrating the joys and enduring the heartaches that we encounter throughout our life, the more wisdom we will gained and the more we are able to accept challenges confidently in life.
Btw, I would be telling lies if I said I'm satisfied with my life or I lead a perfect life. For the past years, I used to complained for many petty things and had dreams and wishes that I have been chasing. However, after going through many challenges, I realised that it wasn't goals or dreams that satisfied me. It's about the lessons that I have learnt from the process of pursuing the dreams or goals. Frankly, I didn't achieve most of my dreams which I guess that my dream doesn't suits me and I myself have limitation or just run out of luck. Anyway, I have stopped complaining of minor things that bothers me and accept with an open heart. I just live my life to the fullest with realistic dreams. And I will never stop dreaming. :)
Coming back to our changed weather.
Global warming had started to occur and it had occured quite long time ago. I hated haze very much as my nose is very sensitive to smoke and I will be dizzy after inhaling polluted air. It is very stuffy as well. I hoped that everyone in this world should be responsible to reduce carbon dioxide emission to save our environment. There goes with the Kyoto protocol.
Haha, I'm blogging about philsophily and serious issue this time. I can't remember when was the last that I blogged about serious issues. Last year, I think? Hmm, let me get some inspiration while going to work in LRT, then I will blog about it, heh?
