Knock, knock. Who's there?

Met up with Daph today for lunch and as well as to collect and do free labour for her for Teachers' Day. We had lunch at KFC and head to the library because, I wanted to borrow books to read. My dad has been complaining that I'm not reading as much as i used to, and that, i totally agree.

When it comes to reading, I'm very picky and fussy like how some girls are towards clothes. I love stories that:

1. Based during a historical period
2. Have a twist in the ending
3. Something unusual
4. Mysteries
5. True stories
6. Family Relation

So, around 80% of the fictional stories in the library are love-base. I'm quite bored with reading love stories unless they have twist or a special ending. But most of them are usually with predictable ending. I mean, I'm alright with love stories but sometimes they just get quite dry because they have the same story plot. So in conclusion, it took me quite a while to find a story to my liking, and Daph too was complaining about how she hard it was to find storybooks for other people - ME.

Anyway, before i left my house, i grabbed a storybook from my shelf. I read it on my journey to AMK, while waiting for Daph and later on Guan You and later on the way to the Bees house.

Repossessing Ernestine

It is about this actress/writer, Marsha Hunt, who went found her long lost grandmother, Ernestine, who had spent 52 years in an asylum & nursing home. She then started tracing the background and the history of her grandmother's past and the reason why a perfect and intelligent woman was diagnosed as mentally disabled. As the title suggests, she got to be with her grandmother in the end after much challenges faced.

However, the question to why her grandmother was put into the asylum and other questions like, "Why were all her teeth removed?", "Why were there false records written under her background information?" etc. But then i feel that the author might have thought that it was better to enjoy the time she had left with her grandmother then to continue pursing the past, after all her grandmother was with her. Her grandmother was 97 years old at the time.

So, in all, the book is good and touching.

I met Guan You, who was late, at interchange at around 6.30 plus and took bus 136 down to Punggol for house visiting at the Bees'. It was an 1 hour ++ ride. Had lovely food, fruits and drink.

Btw, i attempted with Photoshop to adjust the brightness and contrast. Gosh, so proud of myself. Hahas. He's really cute. Especially when it came to food. He does a split and lies on his tummy - a sign for "please give it to me"

Hui Min No.2

The wheat-grass plant was named after Hui Min because of the spectacles. Haha. We stayed till 9.30 p.m. Uncle Bee fetched me home. Thank God for that, if not I'll reach home by 11 plus p.m.

The Bee family is my model family.

Okay, this has been a rather long post i think. Good night ")
