Sorry to disappoint you but I couldn't find neither e-book nor audiobook for this title which drove me mad & alas I have to order from Kinokuniya & waited half a month to finally flip the pages. The ending is kinda happily ever after but not the usual kind that you'll expect. True... external beauty is ephemeral, short-lived, skin deep... beauty differs for everyone, as the saying "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder", how very true that is even for me....& the prince o_O woops. Anywayz, this book is not bad, I would even say it's a good read & I got to know more bout Western European women's clothing. =p

You might wonder why the heck is she always reading all these books meant for teen/young adults bla bla... well I love fairy tales and reading em makes me happy! ^^ & I'm a kid at heartz!

Initial purpose of going to AmCorp Mall is to accompany Mr Dino to the Sony Centre Warehouse Clearance. Since it's the last day, all the good apples have been eaten & we're left with the leftover skins and the accompanying Mr. wormies. Well anywayz... that's not the point here! I'm here to kepochi bout' an interesting place I accidentaly discovered while I'm roaming around with my fiance! I couldn't believe my eyes! Excitement meter gone up from 4 bars (meaning partialy excited) to almost 9-10 bars (uber excited... like I can't believe it's butter!). I can't believe places like this ever exist here in KL, first hand books with prices that make you say "Biar betik" or "You gotta be kidding me" or "arghhhhh" or just make your mouth drop with utter disbelieve, your eyes dilate & fill with exhilaration & you just feel like bouncing all over the place... metaphorically speaking that is. hehe. I'm so excited my eyelashes fell down (not that I'm wearing any fake eyelashes... ). I present to you . . . .

I don't hate books... as a matter of fact I could even say that I love em but the problem is I can't find a good enough time or setting for me to actually sit down & savour the feeling of being immerse in reading a good book. I love hearing to the audiobook of this one! Worth the hassle of downloading em I'd say... Not gonna put any review watsoever, you can find that from the linkies above! :D This is for all you retelling-of-fairy-tale lovers out there!

Creativity @ Workz 2 : Let's Make Ketupat!!

Work without break will kill you, trust me on that! If it doesn't kill you physically it'll damage ur brain... Since 'Hari Raya' is just around the corner, most of us if not all r just sooo ready to just ditch our work & celebrate but that's just wishful thinkin' and instead of opting for that... I've decided to make 'sarong ketupat' ... for fun ya know... to deco my cubi (yeah... & neighbours=p) ... I love seeing people get involve in sumthing & actually enjoy doing it... sux doing fun stuff alone :/

Items Needed:

1. Scissor
2. A piece of A4 paper (cut into small strips & then glued together..make that 3 - 4 small stripz)
   
3. Magic Colors
4. glue
5. ...Craziness
   
6. ...Creativity (actually... it's not compulsory... heck just draw!)
   
7. ...Freetime (or at least I think it's freetime...)
   
8. ...Patience... (Where there's a will there's a way...)
9. ... hard surface? @_@

Too bad I can't show you how it's done coz we're lacking of visual aids here... I kindda forgot to ask someone to take picture, so maybe other times. *sheepish smile* There were quite a number of enthusiastic people involved in this project... Some stayed until the end... some drew and left the premises... & some just took a peak or merely watched for entertainment sake.

Abstract... smiley... animals... cartoon... basically anything we can think of...

The final product of our coconut leaf substitution...

Clockwise from upper left, Yee, Hafiz & me, Joshua, Hairos... and me again!

One artistic homemade...or should I say officemade? *chuckle* 'sarong ketupat' weaved! ... & It dint stop there... after lunch hour (I was fasting OK... dun get any funny ideas... =p) , thanks to Soshua & Song See Sung we can weave 'sarong ketupat' easier & faster... this time we use 2 different rolls of colored ribbons... (Light green and White...)

Craft, arts & hobbies can unite people... & include foods in that!

Holophonic Sound...

Most if not all of us have an idea on what Holography stands for. Lets just Wiki/Google that for now... & it haf sumthing to do wif 3D. =3 That's visual 3D for you but in this case we have auditory 3D instead & it's called Holophonic a.k.a holophony a.k.a holophonic sound recording. This is a form of binaural recording ,binaural roughly means it is intended for both ears so the best & most efficient way to really experience it is with a really good headphones! I've uploaded some samples collected from all over the net, dl & enjoy! One thing that bogs me is that I dun really know what's the different between Holophonic & Binaural...
