Book Review: Warm Bodies

-
Warm Bodies
Okay. Here's another book that I want to share today. The title is 'Warm Bodies'. I decided to read the novel because I saw a promo video of this movie somewhere and I kinda like the humour in it. So, I try to read the novel. Though I kinda like the novel, it didn't have the humour that presented in the movie (not that I've watched it already).
“I am Dead, but it's not so bad. I've learned to live with it.”  R, Warm Bodies.
        Anyway, this novel is about the love between a zombie guy and a human girl. Before anyone get skeptical about this, I know the theme is kinda strange and outside of the box. In fact, I love the differences. You've seen vampire love-story, werewolf love-story, and even an alien love story. This time, it's a ZOMBIE LOVE STORY. Yeah!!

         This story is about a zombie named 'R' which likes to eat the human brain because he can feel the emotion that the human had in his particular brain. One day, during his hunting trip, R killed a guy and ate his brain, thus relieving that dead guy's memories and emotions. This guy had a girlfriend and in some way, R falls in love with this girl, Julie.
“I crush her against me. I want to be part of her. Not just inside her but all around her. I want our rib cages to crack open and our hearts to migrate and merge. I want our cells to braid together like living thread.” -- R, Warm Bodies.
“But I'm not afraid of the skeletons in Julie's closet. I look forward to meeting the rest of them, looking them hard in the eye, giving them firm, bone-crunching handshakes.” -- R, Warm Bodies.
         I have to say that the movie and the novel's plot is quite different and since I haven't watch the movie yet, I can't comment on anything about it. For me, personally, I kinda like the way this story is presented. I didn't love it as crazy I did with Fifty Shades (nothing can top that), but it does leave me with a nice feeling at the end of the day. At first, I thought it was going to have a tragic ending because, let's face it, the male lead is a zombie. He's dead. Nothing on him works like a normal human being. So, when I found out that's not the way it ended, plus it ended in a brighter note, I found myself liking it more. Though, you have to admit, for a zombie gets to turn back into a human again is something that too impossible to happen. But I like it. :)
“But it does make me sad that we've forgotten our names. Out of everything, this seems to me the most tragic. I miss my own and I mourn for everyone else's, because I'd like to love them, but I don't know who they are.” --R, Warm Bodies.
       That is all that I can share for today. I have a lot of things to say actually but I can't seems to get into that right mood. I just don't want to reveal anything personal yet, for now. I'll be back for more. Laters!
“There is no ideal world for you to wait around for. The world is always just what it is now, and it's up to you how you respond to it.” - Warm Bodies.
Petrified By Zombies,
Liely

P.S. I have a lot of things coming next week. It's going to be another week of hell! Wish me luck!

Shopping Trip: Part Two

I just got back from another shopping trip of mine. This time, I went to buy some pens and my school bag. I just realized that this would be my last school shopping because next year I would be in my last form. I had no idea what to do next. I'm reconsidering to take Form Six somehow. Hmmm... Faber Castell pens         Anyway I bought a lot of pens. I love pen. It is my favourite thing to buy whenever I went into a shop. If I'm not mistaken, I bought 21 pens and one mechanical pencil. I feel satisfied! My favourite pencil brand is Faber Castell. I've used it since I was very young. My first story, ' Fairies and Warriors' was written by that pencil back in 2005. I want to keep using it until I'm dead tired of it!          Actually, that is not my real attention when I start to write this post. I'm actually want to talk about MANGA (what else?). When I was roaming the mall alone, I encountered a secluded section where there was many MA...

Nodame Cantabile: First Impression

Yes. That's what I'm reading right now. Nodame Cantabile had been in my wish list for more than a year before I decided to read the manga (though I did watch some of its anime). But, to compare the manga and anime, I think the anime deserves it better. Why? Because when I'm reading the manga, I can never know the sound of Mozart's, Beethoven, nor Liszt. But I do appreciate the humour. In fact, I love the humour. Nodame and her Ship-wrecked Home          Before that, let me tell you a little bit about Nodame Cantabile . It is a story about a girl named Noda Megumi a.k.a. Nodame that is a quirky character. She's very good in playing the piano (but she can't read the notes). Her house was like a shipwrecked and she loves to eat. Next door, there was a handsome guy (Chiaki) who also went to the same music academy as she did. Due to a fateful coincidence, they managed to become a good friend, except for Nodame's straightforward confession to him where Chia...

First Week In KMM

Hi there, peeps! I'm back from Kolej Matrikulasi Melaka (KMM) after a torturous week of orientation. (well, it's not that torturous, I'm just exaggerating.) You know, on the very first day of orientation week, everything was still seemed so unreal to me. I can't grasp the idea that I will be living on my own and there would be no more television or lying on my bed while reading books on my mobile. It wasn't until the second day that I suddenly felt homesick. Anyway, I'll get back on that later. In the car, on the way to KMM.         On the very first day, we went to KMM around 10 in the morning and the traffic was horrible. There were so~ many people there. Oh well, everyone from the whole peninsular Malaysia went there, so of course, there were thousands of people.           The registration process went kinda well. There wasn't any big trouble on the way. My family left me there around 3 in the evening. By the way, my dorm block i...
