An awfully long post

Share my JOY. i just completed a book. Before you start rolling your eyes, lemme first impress this fact upon you, which i'm not exactly proud of: I've NEVER really completed any books (including my A'levels Lit Texts, thanks to the wonderful existence of Sparknotes & PinkMonkey), well, except for "a walk to remember" and "pearl habour". Oh, and please just forget about all the random books i supposedly told you i was reading because i don't even know where to find them now. Must have collected too much dust for me to even recognise.

This Book, there's just something about the story....and i could go on forever. The point is, what a great book was that for me...ME, a sucker-reader to have finished it in what i reckon a record period of 2 weeks? FYI, it took me like, what, 3 years to finish Jude the Obscure? and i'm sorry to say, i didn't complete it after all. my bad...and it still confuses me how i got a B for lit. if there's any remotely good reason, it has to be the art of crapping.Quality crap, that is. =D

"This Heart of Mine". not a book for the iron-hearted; a perfect get-away for the romantics and sissies. Haha. I'll be passing it to my FAVOURITE jm soon. I hope she finds "Dedication" a decent read, because i lost interest in it as quickly as i made up my mind paying for it.

Was i bored? maybe. i think i was more like looking for a romantic escapism (if there's ever a term for it). Don't all single young women at this age do? i like being honest. =) a little revelation of honesty won't hurt...once in awhile. For the first time, i felt good, consoled and glad after reading something. I'd love to maintain it as my hobby, but only if i find the right books.

There's this list of things i gotta do. Firstly, i'm gonna try to draft a nicer resume for my internship applications. I hate this. Everytime i think about it it forces me to think about my future. I think a lot people misinterprete me. I don't deny that i already and most certainly have a job waiting for me once i graduate, but it's not what i want. i want to do something i want to do. i hope this explains it.

This is why, i need a resume. I want to be good at something and earn myself credit for what i enjoy doing. Of course it's the easiest way out to work for my dad, like who don't want easy money? Sure as hell i do, but i also want to prove a point. Only if i really cannot make it, only if i know i've tried.....My point is...i'm gonna go perfect my resume later and send it out. Hopefully i can get it, and hopefully the kids' mom will allow me to change tuition from twice a week to once for the coming months.

I have an unpublished picture post. Nothing pornographic so snap out of your filthy lil' mind! i have a string of pics to show you all. Random nothings, but i figured pictures don't just speak a thousand words, they're simply far more interesting than my writing. BUT, you know why you don't see them yet? that's cus (like you don't already know) blogger has quite an inadequate capacity in fascilitating extensive picture uploads. i really don't see the challenge when i already painstakingly resized each and every of the 40plus pictures.
Okay, till i overcome the annoyance, i may actually go about uploading them for your amusement. cus some pics are really amusing. =D so stay tuned.

I just had a wedding dinner on Saturday. I love going to wedding dinners. Not because of the food, the location, or that i get to dress up...but because i can take note of what i don't want for my own wedding. HAHA. oh yes, i think far.
i don't want people popping poppers at my ears or spray party ribbons on my perfect hair or even throw rose petals on my face. dumb things. i don't want cliche round tables and 7 course meals with sharksfin soup. i don't want lousy MCs....and i cannot emphasize more on how much i cannot stand the "yum-seng" part.
I want: long tables, everything snow white, champaign colored roses generously lining the golden carpet, a life band on the stage....i want my best friend to propose a toast, my dad to give a speech, i want to share a dance with my other half while the band plays "the way you look tonight" by Tony Bennett.....
Oh how i wish this selfish wish of mine won't be compromised. haha~

Finally, i met Plain John (PJ), and shook his hand. =DDDDDD He's about as plain as pancake and maybe your Pajamas. =DDDDDD There's just something about his plain-ness that keeps me smiley all day. Something's telling me i shouldn't be too hopeful. But at least for now there's something. An acknowledging smile, a polite greeting, a subtle wave....that's quite enough.
Minnie reaches for a branch and waved it like a magic wand. Too bad, it broke.
