THIS evening recently, i've bought confessions of a shopaholic novel written by famous english author of all-time, sophie kinsella. soon, i'm going to watch the motion picture as soon as it come out in cinemas, if i could. haha ! the novel costs me about 34.90 but since mph is having a book fair, the price was cut down to 27.40 - it's good bargain, really because i assumed this chick-lit novel cost above 40. i've not read it yet, maybe tomorrow. normally, i don't buy these kind of novels because i tend to not read it, might as well shove it into the trashcan and also because of a terrible incident too.

i think it was 3 years ago, when i just turned sweet, innocent 15 - i bought the devils wear prada novel by american novelist, lauren weisberger after the movie came out a few weeks later. my memories of the description of the novel seems to be fresh like it was yesterday - thick, larger than the palm-sized confessions of a shopaholic novel, has a red cover with a cartoon image of the devil, miranda priestly herself, if i'm not mistaken and of course, expensive - above 40. i wanted that novel so badly because i told myself, i won't watch the movie if i haven't read the book yet. i brought the novel to school so that any free time is used to read the novel. i can't remember whether i wrote my name in the book because i thought people won't steal it judged by the thickness of the novel. big mistake ! that one day, i was helping mr khalid's paperwork for the form one orientation. i left my bag outside on the table infront of the office, the book is inside with a white roxy bangle : a birthday gift from my ex-friend. there were not many students in the school that day because the it was examination week, of course - the students are taking their exam. i still remember that there a few student bags on the same table too. after maybe 3-4 hours, i went to take my bag after finishing the paperwork with my friend. we were both walking on the school field on the way to the primary school next door, i felt funny because the bag felt so light, before - it wasn't heavy but you can feel the a small amount of pressure on the shoulder everytime you carry it. i quickly checked my things, found out that i've lost the novel AND the gift. i was so nervous, i've never lose any books or presents in my entire life - checked it four times. it wasn't there in the bag anymore. i felt extremely devastated not only i've lost my novel which doesn't cost cheap indeed and my birthday gift, i did broke down - you know, sobbing tears. it was a terrible trauma, i mean i haven't finish the book either - i've just started a few pages. i felt really really sad, i've called my ex-friend and told about that incident and apologize to her 10 times for losing that birthday gift which i really love it A LOT. she forgive me but i felt that i'm unforgivable. it took about 3 days to lose that trauma - my mom didn't know that i've lost the book until today. i felt that it should be kept in secret and never been revealed - i don't know why. only my close friends at that time knew about it - i didn't tell anyone about it. if i did tell, nobody's going to care either. it's just that i couldn't believed that someone would do something so horrible to me, i still didn't catch the thief until today too, yeahh, after i left high school. he/she still remained anonymous - if i ever caught the thief, i demanded him/her to return back my book and my gift too ! there's also a reason i didn't report to mr khalid too - there's no suspects or witnesses during the time it happen, that's why i kept the secrecy to myself. moral of the story is - NEVER EVER FORGET TO WRITE YOUR NAME AND ALWAYS KEEP YOUR BELONGINGS AS FAR AWAY FROM THE HANDS OF CUNNING THEIVES ! i did learned my lesson - that's why all my twilight book series are all written with my initial so that i'm easily to identify my book.

so, there you have it - my sad confession. anyway, i don't intend to dwell too much about the past, i learned from my mistakes and promised not to do the same mistake again.

well, i don't want you guys to feel too sad nor bore either. please, continue reading .. the continuation of the story below get's better now.

my mom bought the twilight soundtrack - ridiculous is the best way to describe. oh yeahh, i didn't mention to her that robert did sung in the soundtrack. she found out herself that robert can play musical instruments and sing from the internet. when she found out, she was like 'robert nyanyi macam orang mabuk !' and i replied back 'well, i told you not to buy the twilight album right ?' and she said 'no no, ada setengah lagu dalam cd ni best best !' she love muse's supermassive black hole, paramore's decode, carter buwell's bella's lullaby and of course THE iron and wine's flightless bird american mouth. probably after many people read this, i would say 99.9% want their mom to be like mine just because my mom infuses alternative rock music easily and reads and watch - let me remind you, BOTH at the same time - twilight and the saga too.

then, my family and i did some grocery shopping - all the food in the house drains away easily like a 7-year drought. i know i'm kind of telling too much but who cares ? i like being me, people always say you don't reveal too much about certain things to the public but you would say, i'm against to that idea, this is my blog and i can talk whatever crap that i want.

anyway, back to the story.

we're about to queue at the counter to pay the groceries and i went to get some cereal from the aisle, left my mom, dad and brothers for 2 minutes. when i came back, i couldn't spot mom - i've asked my dad and he told me that she went to the bookstore infront. then, i saw her flipping the pages of hello! magazine. i pretend to ask her although i already knew the answer.

me : what are you doing ?

mom : what does it look like ? searching robert la !

me : omg !

mom : you help me okay ?

me : alright, fine.

we both search him on every tabloid magazine the bookstore sell. finally, she gave up - she took in style magazine with kate winslet in this gorgeous kind of indigo dress posing as a covergirl. i've got to admit - dang, she look's hot and i'm not even gay. for a woman in her 30's who work really really hard, you've got to give her credit, man ! i'm not a fan of her since titanic because she looks a bit chubby with that fiery red hair ala rumer willis but time has change and so did her. she dyed her hair blonde, got slimmer and look more fabulous than ever. okay, so i caught mom flipping the pages when suddenly, my eyes caught at people magazine. i'm a short-sighted but when i saw that magazine, the image was a bit blurry. i squited both eyes to get a clearer view and guess what ? right at the corner of the cover, there he was 'twilight : robert pattinson'. i told my mom, pointing my finger to that magazine - a reaction that i really regret doing it at first. she quickly grab the magazine like there's 20 people is going to steal the magazine before she does. and just because of robert's photo on the magazine, she would gladly pay 8.90 just to see his face. ughh, dealing mother's obsession over a vampire is hard to deal with. then, i saw american's teen vogue with emma robert on the cover of april 2009 issue. it is quite expensive but i don't regret buying it - it was my first time i bought an non-cheap magazine but i totally have no worries about it. it's thick, medium-size and kazillion fashion spreads in the magazine is wayyy better than cheap, large-size but thinner than teen vogue cleo. i fell in love with it but of course, i won't buy it every month - imagine 15 could do : buy one makeup brush and an eyeshadow, duhh ! then, there's another magazine which i can't remember the name - robert on the cover right infront of my face, mom seem to don't notice it yet. another big mistake - i stupidly, showed the magazine to her, she delightly squealed and amazingly, took out another 10 to pay for the magazine. stupid stupid me, why on earth would i ever do that ?

luckily, people magazine has robert's poster while the other magazine has a poster of twilight cast ; mr pattinson, miss stewart, mr lautner, mr gigandet and miss lefevre all in it. my mom gladly took out both posters and handed to me, telling me to stick it on my bedroom door so that everytime she comes in to my room, robert's face is the first thing she notice .. hmm, good point too. the best part is everytime before i sleep or wake up, robert's face is the first thing I notice
EVERY SINGLE DAY. it's kind of creepy though, it's like someone is watching you sleep and it's not in an edward cullen way, i might not be able to sleep well tonight and the other night and the next night and the following night ..

currently listening to : 19 times of a good spin of twilight soundtrack, thanks mom.
current mood : truthfully honest =)
