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 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.
