Change of Heart - Jodi Picoult

I have decided to get myself one book per week for my reading hobby, starting from this month. And the first book that I picked is this one book that I bought long time ago, but has not get the chance to actually finish it. (Actually, I read the first 10pages out of 447 and never touch it anymore).

"Change of Heart" - Jodi Picoult
I realised later on that most of Picoult's novel has got illness or tragedy happening in the story. I will need to get myself a happier kind of book for next time, so that it boost my mood. But this book is not that sad afterall, infact, it gives me a lot of new knowledge about religion, a bit of law, and bits of health explanation included as well. I will rate this book a 3.5 out of 5, simply because i think Picoult's way of thinking is amazing.
Surprisingly, i found this video from YouTube where Picoult herself talking about her new book (at that time - 2008).

She looks a lot bigger than I expected from her pics at the back of the front cover in the book.
Overall, this is worth a read, i'll say..

Eat Pray Love - favourite parts

I finished reading my "Eat Pray Love" book around last week,
but just got the chance to blog freely again tonight.
Its been a busy "slacking around" week for me..

Anyway, i would give the book a 7 out of 10,
and i would recommend the book, but not to everyone..
I personally think that this book is a bit too details in terms of description,
which i think can be really boring for some people..
but i do still want to go and watch the movie..

Oh yes, i managed to note some of my fave parts in the book,
since a friend of mine borrow my book atm, i can not cross check if its the right page im referring to,
but i do know the roughly part or chapter...

1. what i love about the story is: the 3 countries she visited..
Italy, India and Indonesia.. it concludes a "triple I's"

2. chapter 15 about description of why Italian is the most beautiful language in the world

3. the theory about every city (in the world) has a word that can fully represent the its life (Rome's is "sex")

4. Richard-from-Texas's explanation about why we should be careful when praying (he asked to God repetitively about "opening his heart", before he finally got an accident and get his, literally, heart being opened =D)

well, there might be a lot more, but i just cant remember..
anyway, go and read it if you like,
its a worth to read book when u have much spare time,
but not if u r a super duper busy kind of girl, i think.. =D

Eat Pray Love

I've heard about this book since a long time ago, from friends and when i get to any bookstore at that time..
but it is not until when I watched a movie with my BF when i saw the trailer for its movie..

and guess whos staring the movie?
Julia Roberts
~the most old looking but stunning woman in Hollywood~
hahaha..

anyway,
i asked my friend who's suppose to be on vacation back there in Indo,
to buy me the book,
the one trasnlated to Indonesian already (lazy lazy lazy)
but seems like this book is out of stock anywhere..

so, just yesterday when i got my tutor training in Clayton,
i saw a bazaar in the common lawn,
and one of the stall is selling old and rare books..
not that im expecting anything to get my interest from it,
but then i saw the "eat pray love" book on the corner of his stall..
i asked him, and he said "RRP $25, for you i give $15..
and once you finished, and lets say its in same condition, you can sell it again to me, for $7.."
and he smiled..

oh.. i wont sell it back to you..
but yes, i buy the book because:
1. its cheaper
2. his smile is so warm and he looks nice
3. i feel like the book is destined to be sell to me

so far im up to page 47 out of 345..
and here's is the trailer..
hope i can finish it before i watch it..

lets go green - sliding walls

I adore the angel spirits of many green activist since I moved to Melbourne..
And for me,
really this one is quite unique - or crazy, maybe?

Gary Chang, an award-winning Hong Kong architect has managed to squeeze 24 rooms which includes home cinema and even 'spa'- into 344 square feet of apartment space
He converted the tiny space apartment into this marvelous 24 different rooms apartment using sliding walls..

Gary Chang has renovated the flat four times, converting the $45,000 (US $) property into luxury home worth around $1.3 million (US $). Through his book titled “My 32m2 Apartment: A 30-Year Transformation” he wanted to influence new housing architechture and offer a new vision for better usage of limited spaces..
just another way to get "green - er"

bravo Chang~

Got a spare time to read?
