yes zong, laugh at me. haha. im trying to wait fer daylight again so i dont have to leave my lights on n sleep. lazy to blog sth interesting so just bear with me. whatever random rants again.
i finished the book "For one more day" by Mitch Albom, author of "the Five people you meet in heaven" and "Tuesdays with Morrie". it's equally nice, if not nicer. spend 3+hrs and gobbled up all the text (last night from 430am to 630am then today 1230am to 140am). Books like his always make me take a second look at things/people around me so that i wouldnt take 'em for granted. Somehow, it makes you appreciate the people around you, and life, more. (actually i think my past 2 lines mean the same thing. haha) Books about life, death ecetera might seem morbid to some, but i find them really erm... hmm.. cant find the right word to describe. deep? it actually helps you more than pull you down into darkness.. dont know how to explain.please try to imagine what im trying to tell you and nod along in agreement.
Books are wonderful i tell you. no, im not a geek. but i absolutely adore books. i love to read (literature/life/romance/archiecomics/magazines NOT txtbks/news/etc). Throw me into the library or a bookstore for 1 whole day! i dont mind! OK suddenly i thought of the whole Borders with just me and books. little lights on. dark night.omg, freaky. not like that. its 423am, i shall not think about such scenes, or even talk about them. ya... what i find so great about books is that.. hmm.. they draw you into another world. you become somebody else, you focus on other peoples' stories. when i feel negative, i read a book and will get totally imersed in it (not physically LA, i dont think 1 book is big enough) and my negative-ness comes to a standstill, even if it's just for awhile. like a lil escape you can always turn to. doesnt tt sound liked drinking? but THIS way, you dont get a hangover. so you see, reading is so much better than pubs.. or clubs... or drinking..... ERM. nono. they're not.. i mean.. they are.. er...
ANYWAY. you might argue that tv has the same effect and you dont even have to read! what happened to Imagination, people? WAh, my thoughts jumped again. i remember my brother told me ydae "sis ar, you know Imagination is a scary thing?!" and i asked him why. he said his friend's younger brother was out with 'em and when they were about to leave, he turned and smiled and waved to... NOTHING. he was supposedly doing that to his 'imaginary friend'. i told my bro he would grow out of it. We touched on this in Early Childhood too. but now that im thinking about it at 433am, it really DOES seem scary. oh no. the after-effect of horror movies haven worn off me yet. let's go back to what i was talking about earlier on.
uh-huh. i was saying i would prefer to read more than watch a story as i could get to imagine the whole scene myself from the author's descriptive writing. "She really enjoyed the movie and I told her to read it instead, it was so much better that way." (quoted from another reader in Mitch's book club. lol) most of the time la. unless the actors are hot like Adam Brody. you know, shows like OC just HAVE to be watched. speaking of which, im still stuck at episode"the Sister Act" ): i want the dvd ): yep. SO, reading is good. ok enough 'bout that.
late nights leave me feeling empty all the time. the world's asleep. i'm awake. maybe that's why. feel like saying some things and furthermore, posting certain pictures here but i feel funny. guess this picture is as close as it'll get. i havent photoshopped the brown part yet. looks fake when i tried it the other day so i dint save.
