fuck the time
went downstairs for a midnight drink. found a cursed book outside my door.
a very thick volume. an equally thick bar of unholy black on its jacket design.
from which 2 words taunted... deathly hallows.
no doubt to the credit of my Dear and Thoughtful cousin?
i came back, i opened it, next i looked up, i was 4 chapters in. chapter 5 simply looked too interesting, "the seven potters", so i continued. very deceptive title if any, belying the breakneck pace and murderous action. so... i've had this initial insane thought of queueing my reads and savouring this incentive (hell, still got 1/2 a mockingbird to go, as well as 1 black swan green) but nonononono. it's overtaken me: the book, the plot, and that fickle reading urge. gotta jump it while it's there, gotta love the curse.
so fuck it! look at the bloody time on this monday morning! so what i'm reading fuckitall!

a Weird exchange
i'm not in the habit of doing this chat-log thing, but i'm not in the habit of getting a real O.o at 4am either.
i mean, if u knew this fella back in high school...

3 fridays
every time i'm told of a new inductee into the growing camp of hp7-finishers, i feel a very personal jab at my capacity for reading. fuckers. i simply do not have the drive anymore, to finish a book in one sitting, or even keep the eagerness from bookstore to home to start an interesting book. which Has to change pronto, becoz seriously, no input how to have output?? and i really need that output becoz
...i've been confirmed!
just written a ponderous thesis on my creative lacklustre, on how i shun reading, on how i think i should draw more, as well as on juggling, but rather than bore u with that crap the point of it all, is that i just Have to read. or first, rediscover my reading passion. will find a way, will get there, somehow.
meanwhile some of the funner things in life. i'm learning a couple of beyond songs. hopefully by rote while it's on repeat. but of course in due time i'll be looking at all of them in chinese with a tutor becoz really... i don't like not knowing what i'm singing.
so. after trying to see if i could be normal and failing, i'd vowed at least a normal friday. totally smoked my normal friday pledge. was still getting briefed at 8pm. missed eun's 2nd farewell (okla wasn't a farewell as much as a those-were-the-days purnama session, but the girl came back for a part-time week! that's dedication! salutes!). got turned off by unproductivity, watched robot chicken with hamyu, napped, got home dunno what time. normal totally down the drain.
next friday Will be different. i've a 7am saturday flight to tawau. yeaaaaa it's sipadan, baybeh! ok not exactly sipadan, we're staying in seaventures which is a bloody oil rig in the middle of the blue, meaning no beach, not that i care anyway, and it's more like a landing hub for such places as mabul and kapalai besides sipadan. so... 5 days of blue bliss and turtles, and sharks and rays and spikes and fins and reefs and cyclones of barracuda. and turtles. remember the barge incident last year? fuckers. along with this scare i've also learnt from my 5-year interval between 2 redang trips... nature is dying year by year. u can go, just GO. it's half of my savings - and my first self-financed holiday, weeeeeeee! - and i'm GOing.
leaving u this time, with a pic from last friday. the random weird, absurd and surreal moments in life...
and also take note of the url below and "a year's supply of mcnuggets"! maaaan i can pop nuggets like m&ms, what with new sauces. always wondered how they define "a year's supply" but ahh... u learn something everyday... it's actually 365 vouchers x 6pcs nuggets. and the game looks real interesting too: www.trackdipjack.com.

there are TEN.
it looks like part of a notoriously-planned traffic campaign, but it's not like we've ever suffered major accidents in my area. not that i remember anyway. they've added a couple more on the main road. which is a couple too many, really, so out of indignant curiosity i counted them out loud yesterday. TWO on midah 16. SIX on midah besar. and another TWO sharp unpainted ones on midah 1, that give us a real doubleuteeeff grand total.
TEN speed bumps from my house to the friendly neighbourhood bank.
to and fro, twenty.
what a way to start august.
