The Girl Who Read :p

TGIF!  But I've nothing up my sleeves.  :)  Probably some work-out session, finish up the book I am currently reading, then watch the story in movies.  I am currently reading the third book (The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets' Nest) of a trilogy by Stieg Larsson, a Swedish writer.

Love the story line of book 1 & 2.  Very interesting.  Am halfway into the third, a bit boring on the first half cause it explain a lot on the bureaucracy of the Swedish governments.  Who wants to know about Swedish bureaucracy??!  We want complicated plots and exciting story lines.  Not some boring red tapes or procedure or laws.  Hehehe.... I think it's gonna be pretty interesting soon.  Another thing I love about these trilogy is, its book is freaking thick.  Can last pretty long for leisure reading. ;)  

Was at the DVDs shop last night and saw that they already have the movies for book 1 & 2.  Bought it and maybe I gonna have cozy movie night tonight!

Have a great weekend!

What a good night staying in watching movie.  It's raining heavily outside.  Nice!

Queasy Queasy (No. No bun in the oven.)

Finally, some free time to blog and in the mood to write too. So many things happened over the last few days that I was missing in action (that is, in blogsphere). To start with, I am still feeling queasy from food poisoning. It was the aftermath of beer + over spicy kung pau chicken + exhaustion from walking too long under hot sun. The worst part of my food poisoning is, there was no 'outgoing'. Meaning, no lousai (purging) or vomitting. Just stomach full of gas churning around like the inside of a washing machine and the constant urge to puke. You know, the whole motion of puking minus the substance? Like that la... wtf... If only something is out, I would have felt much better. But then again, I am feeling much better today compared to last night. Last night was terrible.

Naturally, with all the queasiness, I dont have the mood to upload pictures yet. :p Though we got back from K.Kinabalu almost a week ago, mom only left KL for Kluang yesterday. I am sure she had had a great holiday this trip. She stayed over at her cousin's place last Thursday and joined them for a 2d/1n trip up Genting. She kept reminising to us the great fun she had with all her favourite cousins when she got back. Hehehe.... I guess that's how a senior citizen life should be.... hehehe... carefree & easy and surrounded by good company/love ones always. No point wasting time on unwholesome company. :p

When mom was at her cousin's, I took the opportunity to meet up with my best buddy from school days, Ann, before she goes back to US tomorrow. It has been a yearly ritual for us for the longest time I can remember. We will hangout as much as possible every year that she is back here in Malaysia. Unfortunately, this year, we only managed to hang out once due to her's & mine tight schedule. There will always be a next year. ;)

I've finally finished reading my Christmas present from Terri. The Time Traveller's Wife. A sad story in a nice way. Quite a good read nevertheless. The story started off pretty boring and confusing due to the many different years. When you thought that it will never have any 'high-point', it begin to get interesting (3/4 into the book). It is about this guy named Henry, who is a time traveller due to some cacat-ness in his gene. He is not able to control where in time to travel to. He will just vanish and reappear somewhere else and return. So basically, he met his wife when she is 6 and he is 36 and subsequently married her when she is 22 and he is 30. He died at 43 from an accident while time travelling. His wife continue living on and met him again for a short while when she is 82 and he is 43. Romantically sad but sweet. Sigh...

There are still some things I wanna talk about, but I gotta go out already. Just realised my credit card bill is way over due. Shoot!

Dancing Again & The Twilight Saga

Finally able to stuff the foot with the hurt-little-crooked toe into the dancing shoe after 3 weeks and able to dance without causing further damage (I think) though it still hurt (but bearable). Had a great time last night catching up with several new moves. At least, some form of exercise. To save the need for my doc popping a champagne to celebrate my gaining of weight. You know how it is like when it comes to weight and old people. They always seems to think we never put on enough weights. I should be able to hit the running track soon or even hiking (keeping finger crossed).

Other than the usual stuff like t.t. sessions, dinner outings, photography, farmville, houseworks, QM revisions & etc, I've also finished reading the Twilight Saga which comprises of 4 books by Stephenie Meyer. Am now beginning with 'Midnight Sun' (a digital/softcopy format), a story from Edward's perspective (the vampire). I still prefer reading books the old fashion way and that is in it physical book form. Not digital/softcopy format. That's why taking my own sweet time. Read only when I am in the office and have nothing much to do. Just to act busy.

Like I've previously reviewed, I still think Stephenie Meyer's writing style sucks. A little too long winded most of the time. The newly recruited vampire-wannabe (Terri) felt the same way too and so does Mr Viknesh, my QM lecturer (as I am naturally fast with my works, we discuss reading material sometimes while awaiting for the rest of my classmates to complete theirs). I guess that explained the thickness of the 4 books. The stories are pretty good but it does get kinda bored sometimes especially in New Moon. Nevertheless, worth reading.

It's all dark outside & drizzling now. Can hear a constant thunder growling from a distance for quite a while already. A big storm on the way. For those of you on the road, be patient & drive safe.

Twilight

I just finished reading 'Twilight' and now into 'New Moon'. I don't like Stephenie Meyer's style of writing. But I love her story though. And now, I inspired to be a vampire - enternal beauty with grace and special ability. Sigh...

***

It's sad how Edward (the vampire) decided to breakup with Bella (the human) all of a sudden for her own good and cut of all ties with her as if he never existed. Now am reading how Bella surviving the break up in the next sequel, New Moon.

I told the man of the house that I wanna be a vampire. He said, he too and he will bring Rumba & Husky together. Then I asked, what about Sunshine? He said, no. Sunshine very boring. So I said, nevermind, I'll bring her. These are just the gist of some of the intelligent conversation that take place between us. Lols...
