Dear diary,

It’s kinda late…long since I’ve got the freedom the to stay up late and still have enough sleep. Bliss!
Just finished reading a book titled A Concise Chinese-English Dictionary for Lovers by Xiaolu Guo

No,it’s not a dictionary. It’s a love story between a Chinese lady and a British guy in London.

Who Where When What How? Read the book.

Didn’t know it was award-winning until now after I finish reading the book and googled it.

I bought it because it’s unique – it’s written in broken English.
I’m amazed how the story touched me just by a set of broken, literally broken language.
Eg. “I fearing future” – one of the phrases from the first chapter.

It seems so real, so original, cos of all the…language incompetence.

Just by this, it’s worth the read, if you’re not too particular about good English.

Writing style can be learned, good ideas cannot.

Sometimes, it’s so hard to judge whether a book is worth buying or not, just by reading the brief on the back cover.
You only know after you start reading it.
I don’t usually go for mainstream/bestsellers (well,maybe sometimes).
I don’t know who’re the famous authors, I just know my favourite authors.

Dear diary,

Since I’ve moved to my own domain and paying a fixed fee to maintain it, i better blog more often! To record as much stuff as possible! If not I wouldn’t have much to read 30 years from now.

The other day I was in KLCC, guess what I found in my favourite bookstore – Kinokuniya! New section – Japanese books Section. A big area of it!

Straight away came into my mind are a few friends like azaria, cheeserland, fourfeetnine etc. They might love this section as much as I do!

Lots of Japanese Magazines!

The fact is… i can’t read Japanese at all, but I love their culture very much!

So much that I can feel happy just by looking at their books without understanding a word of it.

I love the fact that Japanese people appreciate cute, pink stuff. I always got the impression that they sell the most Hello Kitty.

And I love their food! Salmon Sashimi, best!

Maybe I should visit Japan someday!
