I've been reading this rather interesting book recently which involves supernatural and car racing...

Title: Love in the fast lane
Pages: 373

Sypnosis: Scott Templeton lives for the adrenaline rush, but when the ghost of a legendary race car driver suddenly appears in the passenger seat next to him, it sends scott literally into a tailspin. Now he can't convince the guy to head toward the light and stop haunting him, not until Scott promises to make a special delivery.

Maggie Cooper has a five-year plan that involves making executive VP with a corner office and a salary that will cause a grown man to weep. What it doesn't involve is a high-speed hotshot who claims her dead father sent him. She doesn't care how charming scott is, or how he seems to devour her with his eyes, or even show her shotgun-toting grandmother is playing matchmaker. Maggie is determined to resist, but Scott is just as determined to convince her that loving him is worth the risk.

Excerpt:
( Scott has been trying to get Maggie's ghost-dad to leave him alone. and Maggie found a book on the different ways to get rid of a ghost...)

He stared at the book, reorienting himself to the possibility of life after riding with Maggie, the opened it to a random page.

"'Ask the ghost to leave'" he read . "Yeah right. Been there, done that. Moving on. Oh, here's something. 'one true and tried method of getting rid of a ghost that you don't want in yout home is to toss rice all over the kitchen floor before you go to bed at night,'"

Maggie snorted. "You don't want to mess with Grammy over her floor."
"Wait a minute, let me finish. 'Your bothersome ghost will pause to count the grains of rice.' "

"Why?"

"Hush. ' Ghosts aren't very good at counting , so yours will repeatedly lose track and have to start over again.' "

Maggie started laughing, but Scott kept reading.

"'Simply sweep up the grains of rice in the morning, and repeat the next night until your ghost gived up andleaves. 'How will this work? Coop doesn't even come in the house."

"How will it work period?"

Maggie was right; throwing rice on the floor to confuse Coop was downright stupid. Now gears maybe ....

But why the hell would a ghost stop to count something? ......

So right now it's 12.06am and my birthday has officially been over...

So my parents and I went out for dinner today to celebrate my birthday. Having decided to have sakae sushi at dhoby ghaut, my mum asked my brother to queue up and reserve places for 7 adults and 2 children. Since it was the official opening of the christmas lightings at orchard, there was a major traffic jam going on and my dad dropped us at plaza singapura....

After a long while, we finally made out way to the atrium at sakae sushi, beside the TCC. Turned out, my brother was already "inside" waiting for us. and he called to make sure we were at PS branch since he already ordered and drank already without money on him... At the entrance, the manager very politely enquire if he could help us, "no," i replied "My brother is inside waiting for us" and we barged into the restaurant, the whole group of us, stormed into the restaurants, making alot of noises in the process. But that's what happen when you have kids with you.

After one whole round of "tour" around the premises, we realised that my brother was nowhere to be found... so i called him. It turned out, he went to reserve a place at Sakae teppanyaki at plaza singapura basement. So we sent a msg to my dad to meet us there instead...

When we arrived, my dad looked at the teppanyaki stove, then at my brother, then asked "only teppanyaki no sushi ar?" and my brother confirmed it. Then, my dad looked at the waitress and asked "how much is this?" as he pointed at the can of lemon tea my brother drank. and the whole group of us, after paying $2.90 for that can of lemon tea, walked out...

After which, we walked back to the branch at the atrium to wait for a seat...

talk about embarrassing...

a little something my cousin nikki got for me for my birthday...
Abit weird actually... I mean it's very nice and everything.. but i couldn't stop laughing when i took it out..

i mean think about it, It's singapore we're living in, not a winter like country.. what am I suppose to do with a furry pair of slippers which says "ooh la la" in front ? And as adelyn aptly term it "eskimo slippers" ...

But nevertheless, it's cute and adorable in my opinion . Take a look... What do you think??

So Adelyn, Jeraldine, Menaka and I went out to celebrate an advance birthday celebration.. Arrived at harbour front at 6.30pm to received a call that menaka "lost"her phone... Well, she didn't (but we shall get to that later). So i headed off to the atm machine first before meeting them at earl's swensen..

Turns out Menaka "lost" her phone was an excuse as adelyn needs to buy some time to carry her very delicate present over all the way to harbour front. After which, we went to chill out at the open deck above vivo and had a drink at Long John Silver much later..

Dinner at Earl's Swensen, Vivo:

So these are some of the presents i received from the trio:

From Adelyn:

Well, after much attempt, these are the few decent pictures which came out. Though it's not very visible, there are 2 fishes in there. One orange one (female, according to them), and a purple one (a male one). And their names for the fishes ? The orange one is called la sashimi and the purple one is called le sushi. Don't ask me why.. but i can say it's the most original gift i've ever received. Although they have a bet going on that the fish won't last past one week with me. Jeraldine says 2 weeks. Thanks for the "vote of confidence" you guys!!

Menaka got me:

I think it's very sweet and the words are so meaningful. Don't you think so?

And Jeraldine got me a set from body shop! I love the scent.. But there's a tiny problem.. I can't seem to pry the gift out of its box. It's well and truly stuck inside!
