Don't Forget Me.: Last Week of Summer

Hello all!

Back again. We're finally in the last week of operation for the Summer. Closure in 3 days. Holiday in 10 days. Home in about 80 days. Can't wait! =D

The newest Nicholas Sparks novel that came out last month. Finished the books in just 2 nights. It was long. 177 pages. A4. It made me cry while I was reading it at work. Can't wait till the movie comes out in April 2010. Though I really can't see how Miley Cyrus is able to portray the lead character, "Ronnie". Hmmm. Oh, and an interesting fact. Nicholas Sparks first wrote the screenplay before the novel. And he was told to base the lead character on Miley Cyrus. LOL.

Another Nicholas Sparks novel I read a few months back. The movie's coming out in Feb 2010. I didn't like the ending in the novel so I'm hoping the director made some changes cos the trailer didn't reveal anything. Hahaha.

So, quite a number of interesting news in the paper these days. But the number one on my list definitely has to be the one where a Northwest Airlines plane heading from San Diego to Minneapolis accidentally overshot its destination by 150 miles. Reason: "The pilots told the National Transportation Safety Board that they missed their destination because they had taken out their personal laptops in the cockpit, a violation of airline policy, so the first officer, Richard I. Cole, could tutor the captain, Timothy B. Cheney, in a new scheduling system put in place by Delta Air Lines, which acquired Northwest last fall. It also said that the pilots had heard voices over their cockpit radios but ignored them." -.-' Look at the flight path. LOL.

This second piece is kinda stupid. At least the parents were. "Richard and Miyuki Heene reported their 6-year-old son Falcon had been carried away by a homemade helium balloon Oct. 15; he was later found hiding in an attic at the family home. They caused a public panic when they allegedly knew he was safe in their home." But surprise surpise, all this was actually a planned hoax by the parents in a bid to shoot the family to stardom and have their own reality show. Guess now, the only thing this family is gonna be shot to is the court with fraud charges. Dumbos.

And now for life's updates. Nothing much in these 2 weeks though. We had dinner at the Westbank Grill to celebrate Pei Ting's birthday. Complimentary glass of champage. =)
