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.

Merry Christmas (in advance!) and Happy Holidays!

Photo Source: istockphoto.com

I'm officially on a blogging hiatus until January 2010! With all the reading challenges neatly wrapped up and new ones selected, and all compulsory posts done, I will not be blogging until then. This also means I may not be making my rounds at your blogs, but please know that you're in my thoughts always.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for being such wonderful friends and I thank God for you. I wish all a BLESSED CHRISTMAS and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

P/S: If you've not subscribed my blog via RSS or email, please do so. You'll be the first to know when I start blogging again in January. *GRIN*

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
