Time travel

I was so intrigued by the book that I finished it within a short evening, and a night. Was up till 6am, and it kept me pondering till 7. Then the weird dreams started invading. It was like a movie of short films playing in my head. I could remember certain screen shots vividly but it's too complex to elaborate.

So, about the book. It is raw, random, and a lil' confusing, only to be redeemed by it's intelligent concept and idiosyncratic style. I guess I like whatever that makes me mull over, or muse upon. Or maybe I'm just a sucker for time traveling. When Heroes came about, I always imagined myself to be Hiro Nakamura. So there, I guess that explains why I like 'The Time Traveler's Wife'.

I had a hunch that it would be made into a movie to I wiki-ed it. And sure enough, this is the first thing I see, "For the upcoming film based on the novel, see The Time Traveler's Wife (film)." They should use the main cast of 'Ensemble, c'est tout' though. Audrey Tautou always feels right for warp films.

Please be gentle with me

2 sci-fi/fantasy books for the neurotic lil' sis, who will cringe at the sight of dog ears and whine the entire night over untidy creases (almost like me, minus the whining). 3 psychology books for the other sis, who collects ALL books from any one author she likes. 2 fiction/literature, 1 non-fiction, and another business book for myself, who hasn't the time in the world to spare.1 shared makansutra. 5 other books, ranging from finance to survival guide, for one who doesn't quite like to read.

The days seem so long and dreary this week that my time, or rather my date came to a halt on the 26th of October. I very nearly miss saying HAPPY BIRTHDAY to someone special today. Worse, I got her to proofread an almost negligible report for me. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! and I'm sorry.

By Your Side

As I was laying by your side on the hospital bed, I secretly wish we were somewhere more familiar, and more comforting instead. Somewhere like home, where I could watch the overplayed teochew (or hokkien) show with you. So that I could pretend not to know what is going on and ask you rhetorical questions in exchange for your nodding in agreement and grinning in amusement. More so, I wish for you to remind me of how you would call my name, because it seems to be fading with time. Maybe I could even get a chance of walking next to you again, holding your hands in mine. Just maybe.

横行霸道

Because we wanted 馒头(mini buns),

we decided to order one humongous chilli crab,

and it amounted to $48.00.


So the bestie, witty as she is, came up with an excellent story.
The crab moves sideways, therefore it is 横行霸道, so you channel all the anger you can garner on this single outlet by cracking its already broken armor and devouring the flesh within.

She, the moral center of the universe, has saved the day again.

Sidenote: Black pepper crabs highly recommended at 螃蟹之家(behind Bedok 85).
If I'm not mistaken, the chef is from Eng Seng restaurant (Joo Chiat Place). The taste is too similar.

Regress

Child-like antics and spitefulness, what do they have in common? That's right, they possess this annihilative power which has the potential to ravage what seemed like an almost indestructible bond between two loving souls.

I'm not too happy.

because it's abominable.
ugh.

Catharsis

On hiatus for slightly more than a year now, since the shanghai stint. I decided it could be rather cathartic to leave some rambling on webspace, so here goes nothing.
