Trying to make time to read: Hard Times by Charles Dickens
Miss having the time and 闲情逸致 to do nothing, stay at home and read a book. Meanwhile let me think happy thoughts about Hongkong to keep myself going!
Splurged on this huge backpack today. The first step towards my becoming a real hiker/trekker/backpacker! Wah these things really don't come cheap. I tried begging the lao3 ban3 niang2 to lower the price but she wouldn't budge. Shall bring it to Hongkong and Alaska :) So big... I tried putting a sleeping bag in it and it miraculously disappeared into the cavernous depths :p Bought this so I won't repeat the mistake of having to drag a piece of luggage all over the place. That gets irritating after a while, especially on self-planned trips like mine where I don't get any airport transfers and such. Poor mah!
Watched a really enjoyable movie today! Pride and Prejudice is the first movie I've really enjoyed watching in a long time. I actually started out watching Perhaps Love (only watched it cos of Takeshi Kaneshiro), but it turned out to be pretty weird and boring. So I left the cinema halfway and went in to watch Pride and Prejudice after a trip to the loo. It paid off! The movie is intelligent, humorous and well-paced, and doesn't depend on fancy CGI thingies to make it good. But then again, I'm not sure its the kind of movie everyone would like. Heh. But I loved it anyhow! The English countryside looks so beautiful :)
Happy! Just got myself a new toy with which to amuse myself for a few days. Okay so I got the phone cos its pink. I admit it. But I'm quite happy cos its just like a Japanese cell phone, and I've wanted one for so long. I tried getting one when I was in Japan but they were all incompatible with our sim cards so couldn't. The screen is really excellent. My only gripe would be that there's no expandable memory. There's no Bluetooth but then again Bluetooth isn't that important to me. VS stands for visual slim and this is the first GSM handset to sport a 16 million color QVGA display. I was always a little resistant to clamshells cos I thought they'd be hard to open but this phone has a button you press and it pops open heh.
Nuah-ing was pleasantly satisfactory today :) As I mentioned, I didn't quite stay at home all day. I went out once in the afternoon to meet the Sembawang Sec Sch teacher and once to go exercise in the park below my house. I also read a book. I am happy!
I have decided to stay at home and not go out for 2 days starting tomorrow. I haven't had a real break since the exams ended. Dunno doing what also, meeting friends, going to work, going to school for teacher aide training and to meet professors. Is this what holidays is about? Though I say I won't be going out for 2 days (beyond that I have commitments once again), I actually have to meet the teacher I'll be working with from Sembawang Secondary School tomorrow to talk about the projects we'll be working on. To see things from a positive viewpoint, that means money! I really hope the students won't be too tough to handle. Though intelligent students are good in the sense that they don't make your blood boil by making terribly stupid statements, they can give headaches if they ask too difficult questions also.
