Saturday, February 17, 2007happy chinese new year! =))
i'm currently in a delirious state.
four uninterrupted, peaceful, stress-relieving days of break from school is more than what i would bargain for. to whoever who made this happen... thankyou thankyou thankyou! <33
anyway yesterday went for an early celebration of ying's birthday, cos it so happens her birthday falls on her study break which implies that she's suppose to be studying instead. =x we wandered aimlessly about tampines, the original meeting place. but ended up at parkway, visiting poor kenneth at isetan crocs where he was dilligently working, and it seems preordained that we would then proceed to indulge in our favourite activity -- kbox! i practically sang like a frog but it was fun! =))
after that we met ngeow for dinner -or supper, since it was late- at simpang bedok. throughout the meal, we were all assiduously contributing cold jokes, to increase our own collection, while trying very hard to swallow the spicy
mee goreng we ordered. *gulps* i guess the excitement took a toll on me and i just collapsed in bed the moment i reach home.
the next morning i went with yan to far east to get her top and also mine. saw this fabulous skirt selling at 19.90 and they don't have my size! ugh. i've reached the zenith of my unluckiness.
i've finished reading
papa hemingway. by my own avowal, it had really taken a ridiculously long time for me to finish this book. and i can't say how relieved i am to have finally completed it. the book started out from when hemingway was a vibrant and strong man who had his own forceful opinions about life and relationships. but as the story progressed (the story consists of the last 14years of his life) you'll see the change in him. a gradual shift towards the weak, vulnerable person that was so contrasting from his younger days, you helpless to feel the impact of ageing. knowing how the story would end, knowing that hemingway committed suicide didn't lessen the blow of that particular scene at ending pages of the biography. there's always this little twinge of regret.
oh well. shan't elaborate much. just that those looking for a good biography should probably give this a shot.
i'm suppose to wake up real early tomorrow. so that's all for today.
ciao!
