I nv thought I'd said this but Jing Wen, you have good recommendations.. Muahaha.. My world has officially been struck with the addiction to Twilight! I just bought the novel today and have read about 3 pages thus far.. Haha.. It's the newest fictional thriller romance about to hit screens in Australia on Dec 11 and in Singapore on Dec 18!
If you have no idea what Twilight is about, lemme give you a little brief about it.. It's originally a novel written by Stephanie Meyers and now being made into a motion picture..
"Twilight" is an action-packed, modern day love story between a vampire and a human. Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) has always been a little bit different, never caring about fitting in with the trendy girls at her Phoenix high school. When her mother remarries and sends Bella to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she doesn't expect much of anything to change. Then she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), a boy unlike any she's ever met. Intelligent and witty, he sees straight into her soul. Soon, Bella and Edward are swept up in a passionate and decidedly unorthodox romance. Edward can run faster than a mountain lion, he can stop a moving car with his bare hands and he hasn't aged since 1918. Like all vampires, he's immortal. But he doesn't have fangs, and he doesn't drink human blood; Edward and his family are unique among vampires in their lifestyle choice. To Edward, Bella is that thing he has waited 90 years for a soul mate. But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy. But what will Edward & Bella do when James (Cam Gigandet), Laurent (Edi Gathegi) and Victoria (Rachelle Lefevre), the Cullens' mortal vampire enemies, come to town, looking for her?
Find the guy familiar? It's becasue he previously played Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and The Globet of Fire.. Haha..

Anyway, something which I think only I find LOL-ish about when I bought the book.. I headed to Borders to find the book.. Embarassingly enough, I couldn't remember the name of the author.. =p Therefore, I couldn't find the book.. So I went up to the info counter to ask the two staff (trainer & trainee) where I could find the book.. It all started like this..
Me: Hi there, I need to find a book but I've forgotten the name of the author.
Trainee: It's ok. What's the title of the book? (Proceeds towards the computer to start typing)
(I held my breath as I was really embarrased at that moment and I'm not sure if they've heard of the book before =p)
Me: Twilight.
(At that moment, both the staff did the exact same action.)
Trainee & Trainer: (Points at the bookshelf behind me on the right)
I LOL-ed silently on the spot.. Haha.. I must be blind.. It was such a gigantic bookshelf completely filled with Twilight books.. I realised two things after this incident..
1) The two staff probably think I really was blind.
2) Twilight must be so popular that even the staff react robotically identical to any enquiries on it.
Ok.. I'm off to read my lovely new novel! Haha.. Tomorrow's the food fest.. I hope nothing screws up.. Good Night!
