Dave Pelzer was brutally beaten and starved by his emotionally unstable, alcoholic mother, a mother who played tortuous, unpredictable games - games that left one of her three sons nearly dead. She no longer considered Dave a son, but a slave; no longer a boy, but an 'it'. His bed was an old army cot in the basement, his clothes were torn and smelly, and when he was allowed the luxury of food it was scraps from the dog's bowl. The outside world knew nothing of the nightmare played out behind closed doors. But throughout Dave kept alive dreams of finding a family to love him. This book covers the early years of his life and is an affecting an inspirational book of the horrors of child abuse and the steadfast determination of one child to survive.

I really really reeeeeeally wanna read that book. Its something like Torey Haden's type of books about humanity and I lurve reading books about humanities. Torey Haden's story inspires me a lot! I wanted to buy the whole collection of her books but you know what!? Its so costly! A book cost me around RM40? But the book above got 50% discount now! Ok, the thing now is should I buy it? Hrm...its worth buying though. But...I'm saving for other things now. Sighs! Torey Haden's books are only available in certain bookstores. Its so hard to find her books here. Jade promised to borrow me some book about child abuse thingy and I can't wait to read it!

Well, today I went to the Bukit Tinggi Jusco. Yesterday when I called Sina and she was like, "The new JJ is huge! Bla bla bla!!" and yes, I agree with her. It is HUGE!!! Dad woke me and my sis up today which is around 12pm by the time he woke us up. He told us he's going to Bukit Tinggi Jusco to shop. And I was like o.O is dad ok? He DON'T SHOP unless I bug him to take us out shopping. I was half awake when he said he's going to the new Jusco to shop and when he said he's going shopping my eyes immediately shot open and I'm wide awake ready to go shopping! LOL!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
I asked my brother hows the new Jucso and he was like it was big and B-O-R-I-N-G!! And when I asked him why is it boring? He told me THERE'S A LOT OF SHOPS! Ok, the thing is which shopping centre DON'T have A LOT OF SHOPS huh?! So fine, I went today with dad and my sis and I know why he said its boring.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
I'm not saying the new Jusco is boring ok! Its AWESOME!! I mean its full with stuffs I want so much! I went around and go into shops and check out the clothes there. I saw a mini skirt and I'm tempted to buy it. But after looking at the price I think better not ask my dad to buy it for me. I thought of going again with my mom to buy the skirt. I can't buy them since my dad is around!! He'll half kill me if he look at the price of the skirt! LMAO! There's a lot of things there. I didn't get to explore the whole place YET! Remember I'm going with my dad so I can't simply buy things. If mom is around at least I can make a deal with her like I buy that then next month I'll save and stuff like that.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
My brother said its boring cause there's no entertainment for him there. He HATES shopping. Just like my dad!=.= He hates waiting for me when I shop for stuff even BOOKS! Sighs!! All he wants to do is go for movies or hog the computer at home. I'm used to him telling my mom he wanted to go home after spending only two hours in the shopping mall. I pity his future girlfriend larh. If get one he better change cause he have to do the waiting all the time! Its a practise for him when I drag him with me to accompany me when I wanna shop. LOL!! But he suck at giving opinion and making choices for me!! So its no use for me to ask him which top look great on me or which dress should I buy. BLAH!!!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
I went to check out some phones. I am still waiting to get a new phone. I thought of choosing my phone today and drag my mom to the shop and buy me the phone I want tomorrow. And I chose what I want. Only thing now is I have to persuade dad to buy me that phone. Its around mom's budget but I think it exceeds dad's budget. Sighs!!! I bought Christmas presents for my friends ready!!^^ Finally I found something for them!!=p Well, I haven't finish shopping YET! I can't shop in front of my dad!! He hates it when I spend! Urrgh!! But he didn't say anything when I went into shops and check out stuff. Bet he'll nag if I ask him if I can buy the mini skirt!xD
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
I saw a mini Kuma-Kuma...well, its not exactly a mini Kuma-Kuma la. Its huggable and its soooo CUTE!!!!! Was thinking should I get it or not but but...but...ah! I think I SHOULD stop that Kuma-Kuma addiction ready larh! There's NO WAY FOR ME TO STOP THAT STITCH ADDICTION! I saw a Stitch table lamp also!! It cost around RM50++!o.O

This afternoon I watched An American Haunting. A horror movie. Its sooooo DUMB and STUPID! I mean the horror movie is soooooo BORING and LAME! I don't understand what is going on in that movie also! I think they call it a horror movie not because its scary but its HORRIFYING BORING!!!! Come on larh!! There's better ways to scare the people who watch it ok! I so wanted to look at the ghost face but guess what!? All through the movie I only get to get a glance at that frigging ghost's face ONCE!!!!!! BLOODY!!!!! I need something scarier and thrilling! That movie suck and I wonder why Bran said its a true story. The whole things looks fake to me ok! I watched Haunted Apartment last year with my cousin brother. Gosh! That movie suck a big deal! Imagined us laughing so much when we watch that movie instead of "shouting".
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Its ages since I watch something REALLY scary that I can call it a horror movie not a comedy. So any suggestion!? I can't remember what was the most horrifying horror movie I watched before this. Used to watch a lot of horror and got sick of them after a while. I wonder where is everyone....my house is pin drop silent wei!!! Aihs! Bro went somewhere probably his friend's house. Parents? I don't even know where are they now. Sis missing in action. Perhaps I should resolve to my books...*yawn*
