Touché, Alchemist by Windhy Puspitadewi

Puspitadewi, Windhy, Touché, Alchemist, (Jakarta : PT Gramedia Pustaka Utama, 2014)

This 224 pages of story is very interesting. The cover is much MUCH better than the first book that I read. However, when I saw the advertisement of the first book on the last page of this book, it has a different cover than the one that I read...Hmm...

Seeee??? Very different from the picture I posted before at Touché (here's the link), right? If this is the cover, I LOVE IT! And THIS cover perfectly describe the content of the book! LOVE IT!!!

Anyway, back to the second book. Here's the cover and the back.

The cover makes me think the main character is super cool and super genius! But while reading the book, I fell out of love... Well, it's not because of his personality, but because I have very very little description I got from the book....about his looks. The description is mostly about his super messy hair. Though the super genius part is not wrong and the super cool part might not be so far off, but still....I fell out of love. That's all there is to it.

Picture of the back of the book is still with the bookmark there just because I L.O.V.E it. Did u notice the pattern? Oh wait, you need to touch it to FEEL the pattern. Oh my, so addictive to touch (bookmark and the whole cover [both the front and the back] of the book).

Anyway, the book. Hmm...It gave me a needy feeling to finish the whole thing in a day. It has a very fast plot, which entertained me most of the time. 

The second book is much more interesting than the first one, although...the main mystery in the book is actually easily solve in the middle of it. Maybe that's the author's style...? Different from most mystery book, which authors always try to make the readers confuse, Puspitadewi is pretty much very to the point. 

The characters....are not my type... Hahaha. I usually like a cheeky genius brat, but this guy is not really one that I like.. I think it's because of the lack description of him. However! I like his cynical comments. Other characters didn't catch my interest. 

All in all, if there's the third book of this Touché series, I would love to read it. Why? Because Touché itself is a very interesting idea. The fact that the author use some real famous person here and there contribute to my reason too. The kind of book that connect itself to real world around us is the kind of book that pique my interest the most. So...yea. This book is in the list.

Touché by Windhy Puspitadewi

Puspitadewi, Windhy, Touché, (Jakarta : PT Gramedia Pustaka Utama, 2011).

With a total of 204 pages, I finally manage to finish this novel in two days. Thank you, E, for lending me this book! Reading for free is fun. Lol

In this book, I can feel the brotherhood clearly! The brotherhood between Dani and Indra is to the point of an extreme level, but still enjoyable (I use the term brotherhood instead of friendship here because their relationship is too deep to be describe as friendship).

Move on to the next topic... I honestly dislike the cover.... I think the front page does not describe any of the book's content. The cover is like giving the readers (us) a hint that there is deep romance going on in the book. However...., the romance. OMG.....the romance......is too forceful! I cannot see the love anywhere. I mean, please.....in some measly weeks or months, you can fall that deep to someone you just met??? Deep enough to go over your brotherhood. Oh my, oh no. I can't understand it. Bzzz (or maybe it's because I don't believe in love at first sight or love at a few sights or love blooming in a few weeks). I get the author's feeling to insert a bit of romance in the book and how she wanna make it the strongest romance between the best pair or whatever, but still, I can't feel that much love you know. On a side note, of course different people will have different opinion. There are people out there who understand their romance.... Not me though.

Now, then, about the story. It's more like solving the code, rather than uncovering the mistery... Furthermore, the ending is a bit......how to say it..... A bit too happy? Hahahaha. Yea. Well, tht's all~

H&M

H&M just opened in my town! The store is very very big, using more space than I expected. I mean...it's almost as big as ACE Hardware...or bigger..? Lol. Anyway, very spacey indeed. 

There are two locations, one in Sun Plaza and the other one in Center Point. 

I went to the one in Center Point and bought sooo many clothes. Shopping feels endless there. I found so many pretty and cool clothes! Unfortunately, I can't buy all of them *obviously* not only bcos I dont have enough money, but also bcos not all of them looks good on me whn I tried them on..(mainly the cool looking ones). People, nver buy clothes if u can't try them. Well, except if they're t-shirt which are super cheap, which u won't mind if it bcome ur pajama.

Among those clothes which I bought, there's this white top that will go so well with my dress. I'd say I like this knitted top most compare to other clothes that I brought. Mainly bcos I can match it with many dress and tank top. Well, back to the dress that I got reminded of whn I saw this this white knitted top in H&M. Here's the dress.

Here's the dress with the top. How is it? Better? Worst? Hahaha. Though, it'll still come down to personal preferences.

Well, personally, I like both! The first ver. can be used for dinner and the second ver. can be used for lunch. This top cost me 249.900 IDR. For a knitted top, I'd say...worth it!
