Author: Cecelia Ahern
First Published: 2005, New Paperback Edition: 2006
Elizabeth Egan is too busy for friends. As a reluctant mother to her sister Saorise’s young son Luke and with her own busines to run, every precious moment is made to count. But with Saoirse crashing in and out of their lives, leaving them both reeling, Luke and Elizabeth are desperately in need of some magic.
Enter Ivan. Wild, spontaneous and always looking for adventure, Ivan changes Elizabeth in ways she could never have imagined. With her newly open eyes and heart, Elizabeth sees what she’s been missing all along.
Comments: A very touching story. This is not the usual romance story that you expect to read. For one, Ivan is not a ‘real’ person whom everyone can see. Down the road, one just need a ’spiritual soul’ to help you find your way and to see deep within yourself and this is what this story is about. If you like this book, check out her earlier two books – PS I love You and Where Rainbow Ends.
La SENZA October 28, 2006

Went to Vivocity yesterday. The place not as big as I thought it would be and I couldnt find anything nice in GAP (when I was previously so excited that we finally have GAP here).
Fortunately, me and my friend ’spotted’ this lingerie shop call La SENZA and manage to find some nice bras there. For a person who is particular like me, I was surprised to find bras that are able to fit ‘me’ on a 1st try. Besides Wacoal, this is the only other brand that fitted me best so far.
Unless you are going for cotton bra without padding (cost about S$40 for two pcs), the usual bras are about S$55. Not that it’s v v cheap, but compared to Triump and Wacoal whose prices are increasing every year (from 40s to almost 70s to 80s now), it’s still quite a steal. If you are keen, may check out their outlets at Vivo, Suntec or Plaza Singapura. 
DBS IB Security Device October 26, 2006

Check this out. If you hold a DBS/POSB account and have not receive this device, this is the latest 2nd level Internet Banking security device that will be sent to all existing POSB/DBS account holders by end Nov to ensure a ’safer online transaction’.
It’s a pretty small device that comes in 4 skins (or stickers as per their term used) for you to ‘beautify’ it with. Obviously I have chosen the pink skin… swee… it looks like a thumb drive from far. The red logo that u see on the device is actually a button for you to press for the 2nd level code. Besides keying in your standard ID and login password, now you need to key in another set of login code that is automatically generated by this device each time. This would mean that you need to bring this device around in order to access the internet banking. Have just done my registration… can start using already…

Downloading Files October 21, 2006
Posted by agnesang2207 in Thinking Moments.add a comment
Cant believe my patience… but guess you just have to put in extra effort to get things that are free. Not sure if this is considered illegal but since it’s published in magazine as an option, they should be equally guilty as an offender if it’s illegal isnt it. Gee.
Have managed to download MV from YouTube through Keepvid.com. But the files downloaded are flv files and I have to search for almost an hour to find a free converter that can convert flv files to avi files. And that’s not the end. My player cannot accept the usual avi files, I still have to further convert using the creative converter. Haiz. After a few hours of fidgeting, finally manage to transfer 5 Rainie’s MVs into my player. Yeah! Big accomplishment for me. Ha.

Look at this, isnt it cool? This is my latest gadget, just delivered via courier to me a moment ago. Was surprise to see that it’s so small (ordered by friend online, so didnt get to see the actual product size before).
Despite it’s small size, it’s really cute and rather easy to use. The file transfers are rather hassle-free as well (similar to a thumb drive). It comes with all the required functions such as MP3, videos, radio, recording and photo viewing… Now my only issue is to find out where I can download videos and songs LEGALLY (dont mind paying a little fee for it). Let me know if you have any recommendations!

Luckily, she met Li Lu (Jin Zhengxun) who was the Prince before his father died in an accident but was sent away together with his mother shortly after his father pass away. He is also the classmate of Caijing. His care and attention to Caijing helps her to get by all the sad moments. Soon, he develop feeling for Caijing and the relationships starts to get complicated among the 4 of them. At the same time, Li Lu’s mother is planning her moves to make sure her son gets back his position as the Prince…

After Thoughts: Another cute show with some funny scenes in between. The show starts to get draggy in the last few episodes when Li Xin & Caijing keep throwing hurtful words at each other due to some misunderstanding though they really love each other. I find the characters too young for my liking. But still, Zhou Chixun & Yi Enhui have fairly good chemistry and have delivered their roles well.
Rating: 4/5
