BTT: Disaster!

Today's question for Booking Through Thursday isn't out yet so I'll just answer last week's.

You’ve just dropped your favorite, out-of-print book into a bathtub, ruining it completely … What do you do now?

My answer:

Feel bad about it, I suppose. In the meantime, I'll just be really, really careful! And never bring such a book anywhere near the bathroom.


School: Best time of my life

It’s no secret that education is becoming more important by the day.

Choosing the best school to go to isn’t that easy. Will your child enjoy their time there? What kind of friends will he mix with? How are the teachers? So many questions but they can be answered if you do some research of the schools you’ve got on your list.

I remember my primary school days as fun and carefree. There were almost no problems except the occasional scolding from teachers and the childish arguments with friends. But those were trivial stuff.

My teachers were great. They were really dedicated and cared a lot for their students. They would go to great lengths to help us understand our lessons. When we did well, it would be nice to see their remarks on our behaviour in our school report.

Besides, I had friends from different walks of life. Okay, so we were still kids and haven’t seen much of life yet but in any case, we were all a mixture like different-coloured M&Ms in a bag. I studied in a national school, which has students from different races and our medium of learning was English and the Malay language. So we were a diverse lot and by all means, we learnt a lot from one another.

So I think that the kids who attend Ross Global Academy may have the same experiences with mine. I visited their website and was happy to know they aimed to serve students from diverse cultural backgrounds.

The students of Ross Global Academy would also learn about history, current events, and technology. They have to wear a school uniform too. Hey, I wore school uniforms for almost 14 years of my life. At least I didn’t have to worry what to wear to school every day.

So if you’d like to enroll your child in Ross Global Academy, take a lot at their website or find them on Facebook.

Book review: Shopaholic & Baby


I'm happy to have written a book review today.

Check out my review of Shopaholic & Baby by Sophie Kinsella! Wow, I've been absent from the blogging world for like three weeks? Or was it a month? Oh well, I've been terribly busy with work. It sucks the energy and time out of me. I'm so happy that I have today and tomorrow off! Man, I really do need a break.

What to read next? Oooh, there's plenty to read, no worries! :)

Welcome to this week's Book Blogger Hop which is hosted by Crazy-For-Books. Go over to her blog for more information and to leave your links to your post.

This week's question: Tell us about the book you are currently reading!

My answer:

I'm about to start reading Shopaholic & Baby by Sophie Kinsella. It's the fifth and only Shopaholic book that I haven't read yet. Well, the sixth book in the series will be out in September this year. Can't wait for that! :)

I love these books because they are extremely fun to read with hilarious bits in it. Becky is such a silly and yet kind-hearted person. Hmm, can't say I like her but I enjoy reading about her boyfriend, Luke and best friend, Suze!

1. Hi, I'm Josette, aged 22 and from Malaysia.

2. I've been book blogging since December 2006 and it'll be four years of blogging for me come December.

3. I enjoy reading contemporary, YA, and historical fiction. Sometimes I read thrillers, fantasy and classics. Graphic novels are great too!

4. I have two book blogs. You're reading one now and my other one, Books Love Me - Reviews is only for my book reviews.

5. Last book read: Shopaholic Ties the Knot by Sophie Kinsella

6. Now reading: Shopaholic & Baby by Sophie Kinsella

Teaser Tuesdays (Shopaholic Ties the Knot)

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

1. Grab your current read
2. Open to a random page
3. Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
4. BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
5. Share the title and author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

Current read: Shopaholic Ties the Knot by Sophie Kinsella

Christina reaches for a T-shirt with spattered dye and rhinestones on the front, and as she runs her eye up and down it, I hold my breath. Lisa and Tracy raise their eyebrows at each other, and although Danny is motionless, I can see his face tightening with hope.
