Bits and Pieces

This is one of the roads that I usually take when I go for jogging. Note that on the left side of the photo there's this long stretch of wall. (Probably you can't see that long stretch, but it's there.) The other side of the wall is actually the LDP. See, I'm jogging along the highway! =P

Went to Books Kinokuniya again today. Bought my SAT Prep books. RM170 gone. And that was just two books. And I'm not done buying yet. (I am in a very passive position here, because I have to, need to buy those books. Guilt free? Oh Yeah!) I was going to take my reusable bag out when I paid for my books, then the girl took this nice paper bag out. I'm sorry, but I'll definitely reuse it!

This is a scene from 'Whisper of the Heart' by Miyazaki Hayao. Watched this a while back. Love it. The boy and the girl were initially strangers, then they noticed each other's name on the same library cards of the books that they both had borrowed. Isn't it just so sweet? But this kind of thing will never happen again, because technology ruins romance. (I'm actually quoting this from a series of videos on Youtube by Wong Fu Productions on how technology, ruins romance. Check them out. Very nice.)

Random

I was in a pet store today. While I was looking at the cute puppies, someone beside me said 'poodle' with perfect enunciation, so I paid him a little attention.

First off, get this. A big guy, bald. Macho? Maybe.

Then, to the dog that he had on leash. Shih Tzu. (In case you have no idea, it's a tiny dog.) Well, that's his preference.

was going to walk off, but something caught my eye. Man, it's not just any Shih Tzu. It's a Shih Tzu on DIAPER.

Yea, I know, like what the ... ...

The last day...

读着蔡智恒的《雨衣》。 一句‘咖啡的香气弥漫整个房间’让我冲动的放下书本到楼下泡了杯姐姐从云顶带回来的草莓味即溶咖啡， 想感受一下故事中的情景。之所以冲动，是因为我并不喜欢咖啡，总觉得会让人上瘾的东西不太好。淡淡的草莓味，其实还真的不错，但香气并没有弥漫整个房间。遗憾。或许是从窗户徐徐吹来的风将它打散了吧。

纵使少了咖啡香，好书相伴，依然是个悠闲的周末下午。

... of the longest break I've had in years.

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.
