i'm thinking...

English is so much better. i mean, when i want to vent my feelings, i can't possibly rack my brain to find some chinese words that don't come as quickly as english words tat can express myself perfectly, can i? i mean, when i start to think, all those feelings--happy, angry, frustrated--they all desappear, leaving me blank and eventually, nothing to write.

anyway, i'm just writing to say that i've found another great book! by little black dress, it doesn't have the usual things we all expect, but it's absolutely fantastic. very different from singletini, and incredibly british, with words like sort of, i suppose, would you care for a crust and all that! and of course, not forgetting an incredibly handsome, rich aristocracy who seems to have perfect manners and isn a bit like the arrogant mr. darcy everyone expects him to be (well, at least i did, sort of, just thought he might be the darcy kind.).

it's just another cinderella story with a cute little kid inside, plus a common girl and that irresisitable guy. very british writing, i felt as if i'm hearing their words in that accent and had me smiling all the way. i have to say this though, i'd never thought it might be good. i guess what they said was right--you never try, you'll never know.

i was reluctant to read it at first, after reading the summary. you see, the guy--the Earl of Arden, Edward, was married before, but the wife died. i don't usually read books about guys with wifes already, i mean, they sound so OLD. but, something came over me and told me i must read it, so i did. i was hooked from the very first page. it was nice, coz the wife was actually a , in short, a bitch and the whole marriage was just a sham. a lie. so i guess that's okay.

after all, who wouldn't fancy a rich handsome guy and a cinderella? a girl can dream, and it makes her happy.
