I have been staring at a big fat case of writers block for the past few days. I have started at least 4 blog posts which I have abandoned after starting because I couldn’t go on. So here are some flower photos to brighten up your and my day!
The Cinderella Murder – Mary Higgins Clark & Alafair Burke
Television producer Laurie Moran is delighted when the pilot for her reality drama, Under Suspicion, is a success. Even more, the program—a cold case series that revisits unsolved crimes by recreating them with those affected—is off to a fantastic start when it helps solve an infamous murder in the very first episode.
Now Laurie has the ideal case to feature in the next episode ofUnder Suspicion: the Cinderella Murder. When Susan Dempsey, a beautiful and multi-talented UCLA student, was found dead, her murder raised numerous questions. Why was her car parked miles from her body? Had she ever shown up for the acting audition she was due to attend at the home of an up-and-coming director? Why does Susan’s boyfriend want to avoid questions about their relationship? Was her disappearance connected to a controversial church that was active on campus? Was she close to her computer science professor because of her technological brilliance, or something more? And why was Susan missing one of her shoes when her body was discovered?
With the help of the lawyer and Under Suspicion host Alex Buckley, Laurie knows the case will attract great ratings, especially when the former suspects include Hollywood’s elite and tech billionaires. The suspense and drama are perfect for the silver screen—but is Cinderella’s murderer ready for a close-up?
I felt that this week just flew by, without really doing much.
My eyes are really much better and the redness is all but gone. I don’t even have any more bluriness in my eyes and the sensitivity to light is also gone. I have another appointment with the doctor later today, which I hope is the last one.
Something happened to me earlier this week which sort of reinforced my belief that humanity is still alive. I had an event in the middle of the week and then had to go to the hospital pharmacy to pick up a medicine that was out of stock when I last went there. Since I had some heavy things in my hand, I decided to take a taxi. After getting down and queueing up to get the medicine, I realised to my horror, that I didn’t have my phone with me. I was sure I didn’t drop it while walking from where I got off to the pharmacy and quickly went to the information counter to see if there was a phone I could use. There was none there, but the nice lady there offered to call the taxi company (I had taken a receipt which was a good thing as we could identify the driver). Between the lady and the taxi company, they were able to get in touch with the driver who offered to drive back to the hospital with the phone as long as I paid the fare. I agreed immediately and used the same driver to get home too. The time between when we called the taxi company and they confirmed that the phone was still in the car was pure torture! I was wondering how I will manage without a phone and what shall I tell everyone at home. We spend so much time on our phones, it’s only when we lose it, we realise how important it is for us.
Next week should be another boring week with me trying to be on top of things on the home and work front.
Have a wonderful week folks!
This week saw the start of the school holidays here in Singapore, but for BB & GG, it was school as usual. Both had to go back to school for some intensive lessons so that the teachers can complete the syllabus.
The children also had a combined study session with BB’s besties. Since BB and his besties are pure science students, they were able to help GG with some of the issues she had in science which was a win-win situation for all.
This week also both have schools on different days and after this week, they can finally start their holidays. But this holiday (and all until mid November) are only reclassified as study breaks so it’s back to hitting the books for them. They also need to work on their EAE statements for the courses they are interested in.
That’s all for the week, have a wonderful Sunday!
The Window – Amelia Brunskill
Anna is everything her identical twin is not. Outgoing and athletic, she is the opposite of quiet introvert Jess. The same on the outside, yet so completely different inside–it’s hard to believe the girls are sisters, let alone twins. But they are. And they tell each other everything.
Or so Jess thought.
After Anna falls to her death while sneaking out her bedroom window, Jess’s life begins to unravel. Everyone says it was an accident, but to Jess, that doesn’t add up. Where was Anna going? Who was she meeting? And how long had Anna been lying to her?
Jess is compelled to learn everything she can about the sister she thought she knew. At first, it’s a way to stay busy and find closure . . . but Jess soon discovers that her twin kept a lot of secrets. And as she digs deeper, she learns that the answers she’s looking for may be truths that no one wants her to uncover.
Because Anna wasn’t the only one with secrets.
