Why Men Don't Have A Clue and Women Always Need More Shoes...

Thought of writing a bit about these books. I got the chance to read these 2 books while I was in Bintulu last year ... well, what can I say ... I had a bit of high expectation when I grabbed these 2 mini books frm the shelves as they were written by the #1 best-selling authors.

Oh, how disappointed I was.

Each book is unmotivational at all, in fact, it never answered the question posed in the title itself. If you are having any relationship problems or need something to read on relationship improvement ... please don't read these books, unless you are searching for something humorous or just for your reading pleasure. Having said this, however, the writers did write something that Encik Mon sometimes say to me, for instance, he praises and fascinated by how I am able to multitask almost everything while he says most men can only do one thing at a time. I was like, uh come on....everyone does that, right??? And here what it says in the book:

"Women appear to be somehow genetically related to octopus. She can talk on the telephone, follow a new recipe and watch television at the same time. She can drive a car, put on make-up and listen to the radio while talking on a hands free telephone."

Octopus??!! Auwwwwww ~

Remember me? by Sophie Kinsella


i finally finished reading the book last week sedangkan dah bertahun lamanya beli buku tu ... kekeke ... dulu dah start baca sket then ni nak sambung balik, dah tak ingat dah ape cite...kena start dari mula balik.

Well ... this book is a classic case of 'All That Glitters Is Not Gold', the protagonist is Lexi, that had woken up to the dream life, but is she happy? She suffered from amnesia after a car accident and her memory for the last 3 years up to the accident was lost. She found it hard to adjust herself to the loft style living, carb-free diet, wearing designer clothes and accessories and also .... her husband! Her husband was helpful but a bit of controlling, though, and he made her a marriage manual with their entire life listed (including foreplay details!) and said things like her arm should be higher around his waist when they kissed, just like it used to be before her accident. adoi, ader ke orang macam ni betul-betul wujud?


i think the book was well written by Sophie Kinsella, though the ending was too abrupt. The storyline dah cukup bagus .... but in the end, that was it. yep, that was it! i do not know if Lexi will ever gains back her memory ... and whether Deller Carpets finally realized they made a mistake by terminating Lexi ... adakah happy ending for Lexi and kekasih gelapnya ... what happens to Amy?
