The tallness...

Whoa... I bought so many books, they cost me nearly 150... But it's worth as I bought SIX BOOKS that include novel and story and all are very thick like a mini dictionary. I only finished one book, that's Matilda, written by Roald Dahl. It is so nice that I read it twice!! I vow I will save up my money to buy his collection. I feel GREAT when I was devouring after one book and another with my hot oval tine by my side in my air-con room. Yesterday I started the second book which is also very NICE. THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HERE, by Cecilia Ahern. I'll write its brief story later. Let me tell u something, something I agree so much and I read it TWICE. Because I've been through that, and even feel bored of it. You know what's tat? It's a description that written by Cecilia Ahern.

"First, I'm six foot one. Ever since I was a child I've been towering over just about everyone. I could never get lost in a shopping center like other kids, I could never hide properly when playing games, I was never asked to dance at discos, I was the only teenager that wasn't aching to buy her first pair of high heels. Jenny-May Burtler's favorite name for me, well, certainly one of her top ten, was " Daddy-longlegs," which she liked to call me in front of large crowds of her friends and admirers. Believe me, I've heard them all. I was the kind of person you could see coming from a mile away. I was the awkward dancer on the dance floor, the girl at the cinema that nobody wanted to sit behind, the one in the shop that rooted for the extra-long-legged trousers, the girl in the back row of every photograph. You see, I stick out like a sore thumb. Everyone who passes me registers me and remembers me. "

She had described what I had experienced in my entire life. Her height is six foot one which means is 185.42 cm. It's much more than mine. I am 175 cm. But it can considered as TALL already. Many girls admire my height, but I always tell them think twice!!

Since Sandy Shortt's childhood classmate disappeared twenty years ago, Sandy has been obsessed with missing things. Finding what is lost becomes her single-minded goal--weather it's the sock that vanished in the washing machine, the car keys she misplaced, or the graver issue of finding people who have vanished from their loved ones. Sandy dedicates her work to find these missing people, offering devastated families a flicker of hope.
Jack Ruttle is one of those desperate people. It's been a year since his brother Donal vanished into thin air, and he thinks Sandy Shortt could well be the answer tho his prayers. But when Sandy goes missing too, she stumbles upon the place--and her loved ones and the home she ran way from so long, Sandy so resorts to her old habit again, searching. This time, though, she is desperately trying to find her way home...

Ting Hui, I think being tall is a good thing. At least no one dares to show their fists at you. XD

Secondly, you get the chance to be a model. So please don't hunch your back. Stand straight and be proud of your height.
