One-liner Synopsis
When Katie Pickard, news reporter, interviewed a psychic, Jim Gabriel, she was told she is going to marry him by the end of summer …

Review
The synopsis is sure catchy but don’t be fooled by those alluring words. That’s because the story is not like what you expected it would turn out to be—unfortunately.

The story turns out to be slow and not much of a twist in the romances. It begins with the author showering a little of Katie’s past relationship history after she met Jim. And the process of feeding her readers like me made me frustrated because the motions are slow since there are too many not interesting dialogues. You just feel like fast forwarding the pages. The characters developed at a frustrating slow pace and they seem to be dull, nothing attractive that makes you remember them for good. And the romance parts are just too predictable and bland.

Wee interesting?
There are some bits of witchcraft and insights of communicating with the dead.

Good news people.

I just came back from my blood test - not the results - from the clinic and the doctor told me to take care of my health. One of the things in maintaining my health is obtaining a license to KILL people. Haha. Why? Because of my condition - most likely is hyperthyroidism, I would experience mood swings and I cannot be irritated and annoyed. So a big NO NO in making me mad. If you made me mad, I would lash you back with a guarantee. I would TRY my best in containing my anger. But do it at your own risk.

I also cannot be stressed. But the main contributor to that is irritation and annoyance. Ho ho. Yes you know who am I talking about right? Ha Ha. Wish yourself luck when talking to me.

So now the jerk in my office ... I now officially can take the plastic knife in my own to transform him into eunuch since I received information from a reliable source he now has a girlfriend already.

Oh well before executing that. I still need to get my blood test result first. So all those dreams are not OFFICIAL yet.

Lucky you guys!

This is based on a true story. Don't try this in your real working place.

Boss: Ok Meow. Now try finding for second opinion over these fruit prices since this supplier's price is a little too expensive based on the price quotation.

Meow: Ok boss... don't worry my friend is working along this line.

Meow went to talk with her friend about the fruit prices and realised that her company has been charged with an expensive price. But according to her friend, this is the price freelance suppliers usually charge.

Meow wanted to minimize the supplying price her company usually being charged, so she asked her fellow fruit sellers about the price they are paying.

Meow: Ne Pumpkin. Usually how much the fruit supplier is charging us for those fruits?

Punpkin: The supplier usually charge us by quantity each time we want.

Meow: I see. So how much is she charging quantity of one fruit each time it is delivered?

Pumpkin: Sorry you don't have to know that.

So you saying ... I sell fruits but I don't know how much is the supplier charging me? So why am I given such a task in the first place?

Woohoo~ I had lots of fun today since I met up with jolenesiah and an ex-classmate which she was named "S".

I treated them to a movie called Hairspray as my post-birthday present. Yes I know... they should be giving me presents but hehe .. according to Chinese traditions the birthday person is supposed to treat people. Haha.. never mind la since I also just got my salary which will be depleted soon after I pay off my debt to my mum. Haha. The movie was good. I had lots of laugh though the plot was simple. One fat girl made changes to the entertainment industry and championed for integration of the white and black. Simple, short and sweet.

Later ... we went to the Garden... the new high end mall like Starhill. Wow. It exudes the smell of "brand new" and we shall see how long does this brand new feeling could last. We got so many buildings that are called malls in Kuala Lumpur one by one they are becoming useless and ending up as slums... places no longer people want to visit anymore. How sad it is. Once this happens, we never say "Hey we should fix this problem before moving on" but we often say "Hey let's build a new mall since we got so much land to develop... why bother fixing the old ones?" I managed to get a jeans for RM 39.00 from a high end place. Not a bad price!

We had Indian food for dinner. I would love to eat more but I was sick so I just had one round with second round of dessert. Haha. I love their bread pudding. It was so good! Each of us paid RM 10 because it's for charity purposes. And it was funny that we were one of the first diners to be there and we yakked until 8.30 pm. We were there for like 1.5 hours. Just sit there and chat. S was sharing with us her naughty yet intriguing experiences on snorkelling/ diving in Malaysia. Pretty scary when she said she met sharks and being drifted away by the current.

To end our fun day... we took photos. I will only post one here. The rest, see jolenesiah's blog.

I was on sick leave from work today. I thought I would b creating a free sick month but unfortunately I was not determined enough because I got throat infection and flu and you name it. How do you know you got throat infection? Easy ... if you have ever feel your throat is itchy and you just feel like scratching it with your tongue, it is an indication of a virus work in your throat. How I know? The doctor told my mum. In fact my whole family gets on with our doctors pretty well so we get to extract tonnes of information like how they met their wife... what do they download during their free time except all of them don't want to give me sells. Haha.

Getting to know I have throat infection for the past few days is really bad already but the doctor today really gave me a second heart attack after my first one from reading Naruto chap. 371 at 8.30 am. I learnt my lesson not to read manga in the morning.

The second diagnose I have is I'm likely to have goiter. My eyes nearly popped. he was massaging my thyroid area and he asked me why is my thyroid swelling. It's abnormal. I was shocked. He said it wasn't normal unless I'm having some hormones discrepancy. Worse come to worse is I would be on long term medication because it's also a hereditary illness. I was simply dazzled by the word "hereditary". My mum was screwing her head to remember which family of hers has thyroid problems other than dying from all kinds of cancer. Yes... my family has a string of death due to cancer. I was listening to my aunt and mum saying this and that aunt died of dunno dunno what cancer. Pretty scary.

Doctor said I need to take a blood test soon because the last time he saw his patient who has the same problem as me ... her eyes were potruding. I said "Wow.. her eyes pop out?" Doctor replied "Yea popped out and cannot masuk balik." I GASPED with my eyes potruded! So now this patient would undergoing surgery to fix her eyes soon.

I was speechless. Why do I have so many illnesses? Next month ... I'm going to see another specialist for different health illness. That is also a very serious problem. The last time I had stomach discomfort, I had needed a jab to ease the pain. Doctor advised me to see a specialist soon.

OMG. I want to be strong and healthy... I want to live longer to achieve every dream I have. And who the hell said "Take things slowly?"

It is too short to be ordinary for GOD SAKE. Stop telling me "You so young take your time to do things"!!!
