CNY Week

So, it's been a while, maybe more than a while. Lots of things to tell you, my friends, but if I were to do it my usual way, it's gonna be hours. So I'm doing it the Unusual Way.

In reference to my previous post, the surgeon agreed to help me in breaking the bond once I've secured a place in the university, so I'm taking all the necessary tests this year to apply for Fall intake 2012.
I'm still on annual leave. Another week to go. =)
It was great to meet up with my high school friends for barbecue the other day, the other raining day.
New Year Resolutions failed. Zero adherence.
CNY, as usual, not much going on. I'm not really that type of person who goes door to door. Been staying at home, rotting, in a good way. (Don't ask me how)
The increasing waist line's been a concern.
Been leading the ultimate sedentary lifestyle. I do feel guilty.
Watched ShaoLin on CNY eve. Not bad. I like 大师兄.
Watched The Green Hornet two days ago. 3D. Disappointed. ( It's out of courtesy that I did not use capital letters for that.)
Been watching Wong Fu Productions videos. They are hilarious.
Had reunion dinner with my extended family, mom side, yesterday. 7 tables, Chinese style. You can imagine.
Do you know that every 19 years, your Western and Lunar birthdays are gonna meet? I didn't. I do now. But mine doesn't meet.
Bought myself 4 books today in Popular while waiting for my sis. I know, it's her fault right?
Anyway, the first book that caught my eyes was Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer. The other three were by 蔡智恒 (回眸)and 藤井树(十年的你,寂寞之歌). Reading 回眸. There are actually 3 stories in there. Finished the first one already. Nice. More than nice. There are so many cool lines and paragraphs that I wanna quote to share with you guys, that I might as well copy the whole story. So I recommend that you read it. His first novel that I read was 第一次的亲密接触. That was years ago. I'm glad that I came across his books again. As for 藤井树, my first from him was 我们不结婚,好吗?

Gonna get back to my book.

  4. Jae,
    Happy Chinese New Year! Ang Pao ar? After you la.
    Green Hornet is seriously that bad. Shaolin's better even though it's really barbaric and almost everyone died in the end, including my beloved 大师兄.
    Giddens? Never read his books before. Will check him out. Yeah Hiyawu rocks! Finish reading all three already. Still, I prefer 蔡智恒.

    PeiXuan,
    I'm gonna start collecting their books too. Love them so much! Already feel like racing over to Popular to get a few more, when I still have one whole stack of some other books to read. Deep breath....
    Haha Happy Chinese New Year to you too. Waiting for your post!
