A Singapore Love Story by Low Kay Hwa, Review.

Hi all beloved readers.

I am going to blog about A Singapore Love Story written by Low Kay Hwa.

Some of you may heard of Low Kay Hwa, some may not.

Some may like him as a person, some may not.

However, this doesn't affect the quality of his novels. 

Some people who have read his novels may say that they are very ridiculous, how can such things happen, this is just nonsense of someone who imagines too much or whatever.
I would like to say something about this concept.

I believe that the reason why you feel like this is because Low Kay Hwa is a Singaporean.

He is so close to us as Singapore is so small.
There will be people who don't like him, & don't read his books because of that fact.

However, take a look at books like the Twilight Saga, Harry Potter and other fictional books, 

they all don't make sense too. 

How can vampires exist, how can there be a magical world that exist here that wizards warps there to gather and study the magical books. 
These are fiction too. Some people may like them some may not.

It's really unfair for some of you that judge him & say nasty things about him just because of that.
I don't know him personally, but I like his books.

I like the storyline/plot/the whole freaking novel, I like how they made me cry out loud,
I like how his imaginations hypnotise me. 

Low Kay Hwa is a Singaporean, someone who once studied in Singapore Poly then to a University.
Someone who lives in the same country as us. 

There's not much Singaporeans who writes novels. He inspired me.
People may say that Singaporeans can't write but he really proves some of us wrong.

He uses simple words that the Singapore's majority understands, he uses languages in his book that we commonly hear in our society.

This makes us feel so close to the characters in the story.
This makes us feel, understand and imagine so well that we may even think that whatever he wrote is a true story.

Even to overseas readers, 
his books will make you understand in what kind of society do Singaporeans live in.

Nonetheless, the stories are still fictional.

That's all for the introduction of the Author. Haha.

-A Singapore Love Story by Low Kay Hwa, Review by Kiyomi-  

The chapters in this book is really interesting, the author used the stations of the green line of our MRT stations as his chapters in this book. 

From Joo Koon to Pasir Ris.

It's about a story of a girl named Valerie.

This book writes her thoughts, her experiences, her love life.

This guy named Michael in the book, sacrifice so much for her.

The difference in their socio-economic status.

The difference of their education levels. 

The different family environment.

& how they were brought together by"Fate". 

In this book you will read,

How much they loved each other.

How cruel reality is.

All the challenges a couple can face,

even till death, couldn't, tear them apart

Even death couldn't break them apart, 

then how did they break up, how did their love story end?

It was reality, it was their LOVE for each other that tore them apart.

And love is like a rubber band,

& reality is stretching it.

"No matter how much two lovers love each other, reality will stretch that love.

Whether it holds or breaks doesn't just depend on (only) how strong the love is. 

It depends on how aggressive reality is stretching as well."

Once the rubber band is broken, there is no longer any way to fix it. 

I was confused when I read the book, I thought Valerie died.

I thought the story stopped once "Valerie died". 

*I stopped reading when I thought Valerie died, till I sms-ed Low Kay Hwa...

& realised, I was wrong, Valerie didn't die.. everything didn't end when death was announced.

I was wrong. 

I continued reading after knowthing this fact : 

Michael died.

However, death DID NOT do them apart. 

Michael once said, 

"Because ever since I held your hand, 

I've been trying my best to ensure that I will support you and protect you. 

"I don't want to just be your boyfriend.

I want to be someone you can depend on; 

someone you turn to when you have problems." 

& someone like this left Valerie's life?

To know everything that happened, to witness whatever that happened between them.

To understand Michael's point of view.

To know why they were torn apart.

Read this book till the end. 

Read this book untill the very very end.
