Literary Gems

aye.
after tuition today, went to TIMES with xiaoxuan
her sis's workin there
and i used up my $20 voucher.
i bought a book called the teenage textbook, written by a local writer called adrian tan.
there are two different books, i think i read one of them when i was in sec1,
and now im readin the other one.
it's about life in a JC called Payar Lebah Junior College which obviously doesnt exist in reality haha.

anyway, a movie was even made out of this book.
and it's friggin hilarious i laughed out loud in the train
i bet the other commuters thought i was crazy
besides that, i also bought shopaholic takes manhataan!
adding to my collection of the shopaholic series x)

i still cant find the gatecrasher by rosamunde pilcher though,
after searching citylink mall's MPH and tampines mall's TIMES.
:(

anyway, lemme show u an excerpt from the teenage textbook:

Okay, here's an easy question for you: What is the most important day in February?
That's right, it's the fourteenth.
Valentine's Day had always been a pretty big day in the life of a student.
As the days drew closer, posters and poems would appear in romantic locatiions (e.g. school garden, the hostel block, the music room, the biology lab etc) declaring open love for so-and-so.

Examples of such passionate poetry includes:

The Usual Ones

Roses are red
Violets are blue
My darling ____ (insert name)
I really love you.

The Casual Cynical Ones

Roses are red
Violets are blue
That is why this poem
Is put in the loo.

and even,

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Some poems rhyme
But this one doesn't at all.
