First language

  Soooooo.       Malay is my first language and as a way to better my skills in that particular language, I must practice in any way possible. Therefore, I require assistance.

It's the only morally right thing to do. But then comes in the other variables, everything else that makes us rethink our thoughts.        What if the person you are about to kill is someone who has found the cure to cancer. Countless lives could be saved with the help of this v...

I admit; I'm no fan of screaming banshees or ghastly vampires but he changed my view on things. I started reading this fantastic series when I got bored while waiting for my sisters who were scavenging the stores for a toy worth their time.          I went to a bookshop. Browsed the many shelves until two words made me stop dead in my tracks, 'Skulduggery Pleasant'.

Not knowing that I'd soon be getting my head stuck in that bloody book. Every turn of the page is a new adventure in itself and when...
