All about LOVE!
It has been a wonderful month off from the store, celebrating Christmas, the New Year then now, Chinese New Year. From the turkeys to the presents. To the lovely homemade repertoire from aunts and grandmas alike, to the mouthwatering baked goods (personal favourite: Kuih Karpet aka Love Letters) that seems to be a regular fixture in every household, it has truly been a wonderful occasion for all! Not forgetting the many "Ang Pows" (red packets) collected and winnings from the gambling table for the lucky few, this Chinese New Year certainly makes for a great transition to one of my all time favourites: Valentine's Day!
Last year, I showed some Crashing potential. This year, The Remix: 
I have been scouring both stores for some Valentine's Day gift ideas. Here's what I found at CzipLee:

I devoured his book, page by page in just one day. In specific? 4 hours! (And worth every cent I paid for the book!)
It was such an easy read, with the big print and a catchy storyline. Best of all? It was well researched and based on a real life story. More like? Iit was Albom's way of telling us to appreciate what we have right now. His style of writing is easy - straight to the point, bits and pieces of adjectives to paint you a picture and you can see his love of sports jumping right off the pages. I would think one of his reason for choosing this tale above the rest of "unnatural" or "supernatural" tales was because this was very much - sports related, and Albom is a true blue sports journalist. It is a fantastic read with Albom recounting the life of Charley page by page, the many times his mother stood up for him, and the times he never stood up for his mother. It’s bittersweet to think that a child has to choose to "love" either his mom or his dad from young - and even when he turns into an adult - he still yearns for his dad's approval. The twist or rather, the surreal element of the book is when he tries to commit suicide, and once again - in just that one day - he meets his mother once more. He talks to her, tries to right all the wrong - talk about his hurts, his appreciation for her (finally) and how he tries to come to term with his failed marriage and daughter's rejection of him. His ma tells him that his relationship with his loved ones is still salvageable and when he finally wakes up and recovers - he does make right his wrongs. People talk about the "light at the end of a dark tunnel", "supernatural experiences", "out of body experience", well this is once well-researched story where a credible name like Albom who puts forth his evidence for such occurrences. It is in part, quite eerie and yet - surreal (sorry, I love this word!) - because the three people his mum helps to "prettify" are actual people, who meet their Maker right on the day (or close enough date and time) to when he was experiencing that one more day with his mum. Overall, it is a very good book - with a well written ending to the tale, and certainly, a book which you want to get for people who just don't have the time to appreciate their loved ones whilst they are still around. 'For One More Day' is availabe in CzipLee.

My Favourite Roald Dahl Books
 From chocolate rivers, oompa loompa's to Big Friendly Giants (BFGs) and little girls that possess great psyhic powers: there is only one man we credit all this to
Mr Roald Dahl. And what's more, there is actually a "Celebrate Roald Dahl Day" which is today!
September 13, 2006! There's certainly much to thank Roald Dahl for. I remember him for:  Matilda:
She was an inspiration to me, when I didn't like school and wanted to ZAP all those bad teachers away.
 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory:I loved the way Charlie cared and loved for his family, and how everyone ate cabbage soup everyday and slept in the same bed (his two sets of grandparents).Who could forget the amazing glass elevator, the notorious kid that kept picking his nose and the rather eccentric owner of the chocolate factory. It was magical!
 BFG:
To my horror, giants stole kids sleeping soundly in their beds to gobble them up in giant land. But Big Friendly Giant gangs up with a young orphan (whom he also quietly steals away while she sleeps soundly) to help him! Heroism personified with Roald Dahl always battling for the orphan's plights!
 Witches:
A bittersweet tale of a little boy orphaned from young, and brought up by his grandmother who often warned him about witches (like how our parents would warn us of not speaking to strangers!). Who can forget the dramatic tale of a witches conference being held during his holiday getaway with his grandma and how the the little boy gets turned into a mouse! And poor grandma has a mouse for a grandchild!
 Boy:
I loved it. From the sweets he ate - gob stoppers to liquorices to quaint English meals and his games; his accidents, his very, very honest accounts of life. It was surreal.
Suffice to say, Roald Dahl is one of my favourite authors - so 3 cheers to celebrating
"Roald Dahl's Day!"

(the unique language created by Roald and most commonly used by
the BFG).
4. Swap a Roald Dahl book with a friend.
