Books
1) A Prison Diary : Volume I (Hell)
Volume II (Purgatory)
Volume III (Heaven)
Classification : Autobiography
In short : Jeffrey Archer writes about his time spent behind bars after being sentenced for perjury. Recommended for those who are interested in mundane affairs ( like what people in prison do and eat to kill time). The three books trace Archer's passage from Category A to Category D prisons and stories of his fellow inmates were included.
Lesson for Puffyrazzi : The difference between 'escape' and 'abscond'. Ahhh, the power of the English language...
Rating : 3.5 stars
2) Angels and Demons : Special Illustrated Edition
Classification : Fiction, fusing both religion and science, also mixing facts and fiction.
In short : Dan Brown churns out another thriller with The Da Vinci Code's protagonist, Robert Langdon. This time Langdon solves the mystery of the secret society, the Iluminati and zips around Rome and Vatican City trying to stop an antimatter canister from blowing off the Vatican City during the cardinals' conclave to elect the new Pope. I love the illustrations that accompany the story. Sure takes loads off your mind trying to imagine what the inside of the Pantheon or Chigi Chapel look like when you've never been to Europe.
Lesson for Puffyrazzi : Few pounds of antimatter is enough to wipe out a city.

Dramas
1) It Started With a Kiss , 惡作劇之吻Classification : Romantic Idol Drama
In Short : Cute and simple-minded girl falls for genius. This drama follows her life for the 4 years she spent trying to win his heart. The Old English Sheepdog ( Xiao Ke Ai ) that appears midway in this drama is too cute! Ariel Lin and Joe Cheng showed some solid acting in this one.
Lesson for Puffyrazzi : Second leads in idol dramas are always much nicer and its sad they don't end up with the chick. *sigh*... poor ah jin. I love you, though.
Ratings : 3 stars
2) KO One , 终级一班
Classification : Gangster flick
In Short : KO One is a class meant for delinquents and rejects. The story revolves around members of the KO chart who possess different fighting superpowers. The drama is presented video gamestyle ( when two characters fought, their strength and weapons are displayed on screen above them). The acting was abit choppy though but i thoroughly enjoyed the cold jokes and the suspense of guessing who KO One ( AKA #1 on KO chart) was. Most hilarious scene was when KO9 was revealed to be a transvestite called Tsai 1 0 (Tsai Yi Ling) and the role was played by Xiao Gui of '100% entertainment' fame.
Lesson for Puffyrazzi : Senseless drama can be so entertaining at times.
