letters

i went to colbar just the other night and it's really the chillest place to hang out at! (colbar is this ancient coffeeshop that used to be located at Jln Hang Jebat... anyway, it's somewhere arnd wessex estate) The plus point about the "cafe" is that no one bugs u, the curry chicken is yummy and.. there is a book corner! anyone can borrow or park their "unwanted" books there... no rules about it, except that boring old computer manuals are banned...

btw, u noe how i choose most of my read? from the covers! the more colourful the cover, the more likely i will pick it up. ok... anyway, from the pile of yellow-ing books, i one that looks kinda new and interesting - Feeling Sorry for Celia. And i tell you, it's GREAT! i finished the book in just one day! and now, i think i will do what the protagonist's mum does to her - write notes and paste all over the house for her to read! (they have this weird relationship where the mom is occupied with everything else but her daughter, and Lizzy is this perfect daughter who goes to a nice private school... etc etc) Anyway, the story is told not in the usual way, but via letters... letters from Lizzy to her best fren, her mom and vice versa, and letters to Lizzy from "The Association of Teenagers", "The Association of Creative Correspondents" and even "The SOciety of People Who Will Fail in High School (and most probably Life as well)"... just read it & you'll find it funny too.. i am bad at this.

anyway, the book inspires me to write to my [future] daughter. and one of the notes will sound like this...

[name of daughter] !!! [smiley]
i hope you are home as I expect you to be... i am away at work and will be stuck in a meeting. before you embark on your important homework, which must be done in due diligence, do grab the laundry and dump them into the machine for a speed wash. as for lunch, i have cooked rice for you, although the broccoli and carrots will need to be boiled. I think you might like to have creamy mushroom basil salmon so i have opened up the recipe book and ingredients are in the fridge. Just follow the instructions and voila! Have fun with your lunch! I am sure it's gonna be great!

p/s: what do you think of my new red shoes? [polaroid attached] Lovely huh?
p/ss: I might be home late tonight as i think i will need to grab a matching bag to go along with the new shoes
p/sss: dad will be home late too, as i am bringing him along to pay for the bag [smiley]
p/ssss: don't forget to hang the clothes, once machine is done! [smiley]

love,
your mum (who adores you so much)
[and i am sure dad loves you loads too!]
