a place where she always goes

Monday, December 08, 2003

after getting broadband i've developed the habit of coming online every morning, afternoon and night, having a lack of interest for the tv and radio (except when SEA games is on channel 5) -- which was something i craved for during prelims and Alevels, and -gasp- not bothering to go on icq. not that there's anybody online usually actually.. i wonder if this is a healthy sign at all. hm.

yay, gloria finally replied, saying that she welcomes me back to do comserve with the kids at bukit ho swee. sheesh, i sure miss the times playing with the kids. wonder which school did logan get into... that guy, always told me he wanted to go ACSI.. even if he had the results to go RI, he'd rather go ACSI.. such a pesky little kid.. haha, but i was his sole trustee... how honoured. haii. miss the times doing com serve.. i sure hope they dont clash with my working times..

busy looking for jobs nowadays for a source of income and to occupy my time.. realised staying at home can be quite a bore after spending 3 full days at home. now i crave to go out but as my pockets empty themselves, it's quite a tough decision to make.. whether to stay at home and bore myself or to go out and torture myself by seeing stuff i wanna buy and eat but i've got no monies in my pocket.. wonder which is the better choice? come to think about it, i'd rather stay at home and bore myself.. at least i can come online and blog, or hide in my room and read books.. oh i love woodlands library.. such a big and nice comfy library, think i can hide myself in there for one whole day.. went there with my family today and i borrowed 5 english novels (consisting of 1 michael palmer, 2 robert ludlum, 2 other book titles i cannot remember..) and 1 chinese wuxia xiao shuo -- JUE DAI SHUANG JIAO!! (also known as the twin heroes..) finally i found that precious wuxia of mine.. haha... but one problem is that it is in the form of chinese traditional characters and the words are aligned straight down from right to left.. the old kind of chinese printing.. what a torture.. i nearly wanted to put it back, but then again, i decided to challenge my chinese standards (which should probably suck by now...) to the limit and try to read as much as possible.. my dad laughed at me kay, says he cant even stand such printing, and who am i to try reading such printing... and he's the one who survives only on chinese wuxia xiao shuo.. maybe i should stick to jinyong next time, whose printing is in simple chinese and moves across like english words... goodness. just realised im gonna have a hard time adapting from my chinese novel to my english novel.. *grin* but such torture is all worthwhile when i get to immerse myself in the fighting scenes of the twin heroes and the thrilling excitement of the thrillers i borrowed. okay. i think im going waayyy off the initial topic... *grin*
