A review by:

Mr. Chan Bing Fai

Former school teacher, Headmaster and educational technologist

Lynn Wong's latest book is SMILE though your heart is ACHING. This is a much awaited book, a worthy sequel to her first book "As Time Goes By" published five years ago. Both her books are generally about life and living. They are not autobiographies.

Her first book is centred more on childhood memories and growing up pains based more on events, observations and her responses and reactions to them, with the innocence of a child. Her latest book, however, is about the adult world with its ups and downs.

It is also about fighting corporate battles.

The words she has chosen carry her thoughts succinctly. They are warm and friendly without being pretentious. The topics included in both her books cover a broad spectrum of subjects and events. Some are more hilarious and many are focused on a more serious note.

Her approach to life is spontaneous, governed by prudence and common sense. It appears lighthearted and easy. Being a keen observer, even trifles, will not escape her scrutiny. Her response to these is largely based on common sense and knowledge; laced with wisdom.

Her thoughts flow through smoothly from one idea to another and the transition is gentle, methodical, tidy and logical. Lynn's philosophy appears simple and yet very profound and thoughtful; gracious and tinged with a lot of human skills and understanding.

Her books are very personal and subjective; unique, highly perceptive, intimate and reflective. I have enjoyed reading both her books and excitedly look forward to her next one which I hope will not take too long to come to fruition.

Her artist -illustrator- is equally talented in bringing out the many encounters and experiences of the author through her drawings; depicting expressions, moods and emotions subtly and with precision. Congratulations to both of you for complementing each other perfectly!

The typography and layout is attractive and designed for easy reading. The book is available in major bookstores.

It is priced at RM27.90.

LOVE LETTER (4)

Darling,
 
You don't reply my sms or answer my calls.
I just called you again 10 minutes ago.
Why are you doing this to me?
 
Are you mad at me?  Please don't be.
I can't bear it when you don't talk to me. 
I have searched everywhere for you but you have .... disappeared.
 
Please forgive me , darling,
You know I love only you and there is no other woman in my life.
I adore you, my love.  You know that.
YOU are my life.  How can you imagine that I would even look
at another woman the way I look at you.
You are my only desire.
It is you I love and it is you I want.
I need you so much, babe.
 
Please don't be so cruel.  Answer my calls, please, Darling.
Where are you?  I miss you so much.
Please come back  I promise I'll treat you better.
I will do anything you want, anything.
Just don't leave me. 
I will die if you won't speak with me or see me again.
 
Please, please don't torment me anymore. 
I am in agony.
Darling, darling, darling, please.. I'm going crazy without you
 
'R'
