The litigators


Finished this! I finished a book, 454 pages!!! 

It's been so long since I last read a book from start to the end. 

For Gaysia, and the family law (both by Benjamin law) I covered 90 percent of it. Since they are not fictional and each chapter doesn't relate to other chapters, I could easily leave out chapters that i did didn't find very interesting. 

It's the first Grisham's book that I read. It's 'ok', not as 'thrilling' as it advertised itself to be ('from the bestseller of legal thriller'). 

I like legal dramas/ stories and real stories from people who are similar to me (gays) and whom I can relate to. 

Any recommendations on what I can read next?

    The first thing that caught my attention was the photo of the book. They way you snap it, the angle, the colour... kinda artistic in its way. Good job! :D

    Before I go on, let me applaud for your success in finishing such a thick book. Hahaha... reading is a good habit and it nurtures not only the mind but the soul. I am an avid reader and I can't live without books. Seriously.

    I am a John Grisham fan but I have yet to read this title. I am currently reading his "The Confession". If you want to read something about LGBT, try Jodi Picoult's "Sing You Home", it's about this girl whom is a lesbian. Or you if you're interested in something that challenges the Christianity belief, try her "Change of Heart",

    If you want more recommendations, you can go to my blog, click the 'ABOUT ME' column above the blog title and click on 'My Favourite Books' to read all the books that I list out. Have fun reading!

My Progress So Far

In my previous post, I made a list of the things that I wanted to do, in order for me to start thinking and feeling positively. I have moved into this brand new studio apartment. I have also been cooking up a storm. I could now simply heat up my food when I get home from work, without having to rely on expensive take-away meals. However, I haven't been able to tick off items 3-5 yet. The apartment could be tidier. I have no one to invite over for meals. And lastly, item number 5, I don't think it will ever happen. Couple of weeks ago, after moving in, I texted Jay. I asked if it was possible to have a conversation. I told him I wasn't being emotional, I simply wanted to talk. He declined. And my last text to him was: "I have given you 10 months". Recently, on Facebook, I discovered videos made by a lady called Xandra Ooi which I found highly helpful and inspirational. She would end each video with ".... be happy, always". Her ideas made tota...

Life Too Gay

Secret Santa. Christmas gift 2013 to one of my housemates.  Had a test yesterday.  Went to the nearby Myer department store to look for a gift for the Secret Santa event at my accommodation. Budget was $10. Saw a lot of cute little inventions, most of them averaged around $20. Could have gotten something within budget but it wouldn't be as interesting so I decided to get this little duckling infuser. It's sightly over budget ($15) but it's worth the while because I think he likes it! (I think he still doesn't know that it's from me, he's also gay by the way) Gay much?  I got a box of chocolates, an assortment of mini mars bars, milky way, M&Ms, etc. To be honest, I didn't like it! I have been trying to avoid chocolates, so that I don't have to take in unnecessary calories. My chocolate quota is reserved for really down moments, when I really need to up my mood. But I still put up a smile la, my secret santa must be looking at me when I unw...

Not sensitive

I am feeling annoyed for no real reason. Actually it's since last night. I was dismayed by his lack of sensitivity and reciprocation. How could he just leave like that. I know it was late, but honestly i felt a bit degraded. Should I tell him? But how? Perhaps it's just a one-off and hence it's not necessary to bring it up unless he repeats it? He probably didn't realise I feel offended, and am still feeling the resentment. He is usually sensitive but why? What's worse is that he probably thinks I am fine and did not even call me until I did so this afternoon. Well I told you I got to do my readings in the afternoon, but you could still ask me out for dinner. Totally not in the mood to do anything. It is tormenting having to guess what the other person is thinking/doing/feeling. I need a stress ball or a punching bag right now!
