Hey readers!
I'm here to introduce a novel, which is rather or the bestselling
novel in Singapore.
It has been since 2005 since the publishing of it starts, and till
today, about 49k fans on the Facebook author fan page, with 7
titles of his books (8th title to be released on Aug '10), was
reprinted many times, over 31,000 copies were sold in Singapore
alone.
Who is that author?
He is, the youngest and bestselling author in Singapore, Low Kay
Hwa.
Yea, heard of him before? (:
If you never heard of his books before, no worries! The
introduction is just seconds away!
Basically, for his novels, filled with Singapore Reading taste, it
is recommended to youths all the way to young adults (:
His books are meaningful, touching in times, filled with excitement
once you start your first chapter with a perfect suspense.
Some questions might be in your mind..
"Eeww, f*** it, i hate reading books"
You know what, his books are awesome and thin. His thickest book,
"You Are Here" is only 177 pages. Its not like other authors who
has a novels with more than 200 pages?
And to tell you the truth, i hate reading right from the very start
of me. After reading his novels, i was inspired and loved reading.
I don't know why, it kept so naturally (:
"What is the genre for all his novels?"
Romance, Thriller, Fantasy, Singaporean [It means, maybe only
Singaporeans will be able to understand the story (:]
Here is the list of books he has now:
#1: Destiny's Cries
#2: I Believe You *TOP SELLING BOOK*
#3: You Are Here
#4: Journey
#5: A Photogenic Life
#6: To Forget You
#7: Lilith
#8: A Perfect Story [Aug '10]
Here are some sneak peaks of the books:
#1: Destiny's Cries
Destiny Wu, 23, has never believed in true love: She thinks that
true love is when a guy is willing to sacrifice everything for her.
As she is about to end her life on that notion, she meets Alan
Nah.
Alan Nah, 17, does not know what love is. He does not know how to
love someone for he has never loved anyone before, until he meets
Destiny.
When they fall in love, Alan learns how to love, and Destiny learns
how to be loved.
#2: I Believe You
Joanna Fung is the envy of many girls: She studies at a top Junior
College, has a girl-next-door look and has good results.
However, deep in her heart, she holds a secret: She believes that
she has a curse. She believes that every bad thing she said will
come true.
Jacky Wu is an ideal prince charming: He is good in his studies and
has girls waiting to hold his hand. He smiles every few minutes and
often cracks jokes. However, he, too, holds a deep secret.
When their paths crossed, an unexpected romantic love story takes
place...
#3: You Are Here
Zhou Jie Lun has everything in his life: He has a stable career, a
loving girlfriend and a good live ahead. However, when he
encounters his teenage first love, Lara Wu, in a coincidental
meeting, his life changes forever.
He falls in love with Lara again and their romance blossoms. Just
when they think that their romance is a testimonial that a love
story can be a simple "boy meets girl, boy falls in love with girl
and they live happily ever after", Lara starts to act strangely.
Her mindset begins to shrink younger every two weeks: At twenty-two
years old, she cries for burgers and plays with Hello Kitty soft
toys.
Jie Lun has to make a choice: Either to abandon her and live
happily ever after with another girl, or to stay with her and live
in despair ever after. How far will his love for Lara stretches?
Till the end of time, or till the end of his patience?
#4: Journey
When I was ten, my mother called me "ah girl" and I had always
responded to her. When I was fifteen, my mother called me "ah girl"
in front of my classmates and I scolded her. When I was twenty, my
mother still called me "ah girl" aloud and I ignored her
completely. I know that, from her point of view, no matter how old
I am, I will always be the "ah girl" who calls her "mama".
From my point of view, my mother is just an old woman in the house
who lives with me. Her responsibilities are to make breakfast for
me in the morning, give me money to spend in the day, do the
laundry in the evening and switching off the lights at night. For
all those things that she did, she will have the authority to scold
me or ground me.
Until one day, she calls me and says, "Ah Girl, I've got cancer. I
may die within the next six months"
That is when I realize that my mother is more than that.\
#5: A Photogenic Life
Dear Diary,
Why must I always wear different masks wherever I go?
I am so sick and tired of my life. Who can help me tear away these
masks of mine that are lingering in my skin? Why must I play the
role of a strong daughter in front of my parents, a smart student
in front of my teachers and a contented girl in front of my
classmates? Why must I Keep on telling everyone around me that I am
the best, by putting on the multiple masks of disguise for
different people?
This afternoon, I looked into the mirror and realized that I could
no longer recognize myself. My reflection was of a faceless girl,
awaiting the next mask to be placed on.
Why are we always trying to pose for the best posture for the
camera, when we know we can never change reality?
#6: To Forget You
Before I met you, I wondered why all the lyrics in love songs were
so exaggerated: Why do lyricists create such mushy and
overemotional sentences? Why can't they just write a good melody
without those melodramatic lyrics? That is plain
exaggeration.
Before I fell in love with you, I thought romance novels were just
so silly: Why would a person cry for another person for hours? ow
could a person wait for his lover for years? That is plain
silliness.
Before we became a couple, I thought romance movies were just so
stupid: How could a person love another person so deeply that it
became an obsession? How could one sacrifice so much, even to the
extent of his own life, for his lover? That is plain
stupidity.
When I realized I had fallen so deeply in love with you, I finally
understood that songs, novels and movies are just reflections of
life inspired by the writers' true stories.
Because when I decided to end our relationship, I realized our
story mirrors a love song that I once heard, a novel you once read
and a movie we once watched.
#7: Lilith
In the Oxford School Dictionary, "Justice" is defined as "being
just: fair treatment".
Bullshit.
In my dictionary, Justice is not about giving that terrorist the
death sentence.
In my dictionary, Justice is not about jailing that rapist.
In my dictionary, Justice is not about punishing that boy who
bullied the girl.
In my dictionary, Justice is about fighting for yourself: Just
yourself.
In my world, Lady Justice doesn't do her job; I do her job.
If I am born as a deer, I will hunt and kill tigers.
If I am born into a poor family, I will rob the wealthy of their
riches.
If I am born without legs, I will break everyone's legs.
If I am born hearing impaired, I will slice off everyone's
ears.
That is Justice.
My name is Lilith Ng and I am HIV-positive.
