YES THIS IS A CRY FOR HELP.

OKAY THIS IS VERY RANDOM AND OUT OF THE BLUE-ISH, AND I KNOW ALMOST EVERYONE HAS GOTTEN MY SMS, BUT -

If you happen to have these books of mine (which have been missing for almost two years, just that I gave up on finding them, but now I'm desperate to recover all):
PLEASE PLEASE I AM GOING DOWN ON MY KNEES AND BEGGING YOU PLEASE RETURN THEM TO ME.

1) Pretty little Liars "Perfect" (a pink hardcover thick book with some plastic doll barbie wannabe on the front) IT COST FREAKING THIRTY DOLLARS AND IT'S BRAND NEW AND ALL WRAPPED UP AND I WAS PROBABLY THE ONLY ONE IN SINGAPORE WHO HAD IT BACK THEN BECAUSE I WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO KINOKUNIYA TO GET MY COPY WHEN THE FIRST FIVE BOOKS WERE SHIPPED TO SINGAPORE
.
2) Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (The first EVER Harry Potter book I ever bought, and IF YOU'RE A HARRY POTTER FANATIC WHO FAINTLY REMEMBERS HAVING BORROWED IT FROM ME A DECADE AGO PLEASE DIG IT OUT OF YOUR MUSTY SHELF AND RETURN IT) And my brothers are scolding me like shit now for destroying the collection.

3) The Sisterhood of The Traveling Pants (My all-time favourite book, despite its chick lit content, it's the most poignant, relatable, touching chit-lit book I have ever read, PLEASE IF YOU HAVE IT DON'T BE A SELFISH BITCH AND KEEP IT FOR YOURSELF)

4) Size 12 is not Fat by MEG CABOT (Lost it in secondary one, after giving it up for some stupid class reading corner thing and I NEVER GOT IT BACK)

So any 2e3/1e3 people, PLEASE PLEASE CHECK YOUR HOUSE AND RECALL WHETHER YOU HAVE ANY OF THESE BOOKS. It would really mean the world to me and I'd appreciate it so much.
THANKS SO MUCH THANKS A BILLION.

SORRY MIND THE RANTING I AM SO PISSED NOW.
Argh.
I am NEVER going to lend any more books out to ANYONE ever again unless I know they can be trusted. Because over the years, I've lost more than TEN books, and that is a big deal because all my books are not cheap and they do contain sentimental value. My book collection is slowly diminishing in quantity.
Lost two of my precious Jacqueline Wilson books back in Primary school (Double Act, Bad Girls) and just recently I lost the Fruits Basket manga (though it's not that important, and I don't read it anymore, BUT STILL) I brought to school to sell, after someone borrowed it without asking me. AND I AM PRETTY SURE ALL MY BOOKS ARE WITH SOMEONE BECAUSE I HAVE COMBED MY HOUSE A BILLION TIMES.
My god I am so angry.
Not so much of people borrowing the book and forgetting to return it, but especially when PEOPLE JUST PASS MY BOOKS AROUND FREELY WITHOUT INFORMING ME THAT THEY'VE LENT IT TO SOMEBODY AND HENCE I CAN'T KEEP TRACK OF WHO HAS MY BOOK.

I just can't stand irresponsibility of that sort, especially since I always willingly lend people my books. AND THEN THEY JUST DISAPPEAR. SO MUCH FOR GENEROSITY AND MAGNANIMOUSNESS.

Okay I'm done.
