I’m a Musician’s Daughter — but who’s asking?
I want to have my rest. Argh. Too much work and school (more school than work). T________T
Why did I ever think that taking 19 units would be fine? With 2 majors and a Chem31 subject? Organic chem, I love you 
Please be nice to my grade!
On other news, I finished reading this book here. I actually like Amy Tan. She’s one of the authors that I really adore reading. Why? Well, cause she knows how to make a story flow smoothly. And she creates conflicts that are so close to heart that I can’t help but continue reading.
I’m Chinese, yes, but my family never really entirely resembles that of any of her characters (should I be thankful?)
Anyway, this book is about Ruth Young, a book collaborator who lives with Art and his two girls. She has a mother who’s an illigitimate daughter of a bonesetter’s daughter (the relation is quite far) XD Anyway, this mother of Ruth’s, Luling, has Alzheimer’s disease and she’s plagued by dementia.
This books is about dealing with family and talks about family ties and the like. It also goes back to when Japan invaded China (back when Luling was still in the prime of her youth) — interesting history, really 
It isn’t pretentious and it won’t overload you with facts (for me, anyway).
By the way, been updating my mail.com blog lately (they have new layouts and they’ve improved it yay)

I have heard a lot of criticism for Amy as a writer, but I love her books. Have you read The Hundred Secret Senses by her? It’s really good as well.

Yeah! I’ve read it too
I like her books. I don’t know why… I don’t love her books but I can’t stop reading them once I’ve started. 
She doesn’t write stuff that’s so cliche

Wow, sounds interesting. I think I will try to get hold of one of her books. I have never heard of her though, at least not that I remember. By the way, Raein, I got the Anne Frank’s book. It’s a gift. I am still at the first part of the book.

Try hard not to fall asleep! XD *mean of me*
