I'm currently based in Penang and is in love with her blog, books and camera. Am totally addicted to black coffee (no sugar and cream, please) and nasi lemak makes me a happy, happy girl. When not reading (or working), I’m a shutterbug using mostly my good ol' Nikon D40 (and now I'm obsessed with my iPhone) to take the photos you see here in this blog. The Amazon Kindle, Dell Mini (a Netbook), Loverboy Bear (a hunkish teddy from Vermont), and Combat Bear (a plush teddy from Rhode Island) are a few of my favorite things. RSS me.

Teaser Tuesdays: The Missing Ink

Here's page 25 of The Missing Ink by Karen E. Olson:

Instead, my canvas was alive, soft and moving, and my brush had turned into a machine with a needle on the end of it.

The first time I'd touched that needle to my own skin, I knew this was what I wanted to do.

Book Talk

"Books give us pleasure not because they make us comfortable, though some good ones may, but because they entertain us, they make us laugh, they make us cry; they inform, persuade, disturb, convince, seduce us; they make us think, speculate, see - and we recognize what we see as true, not as the truth but as a truth in the writer's fabulous construction that corresponds to what we have observed in ourselves, or others, or in the world at large, or can conceive of observing."

- William McPherson
