Living.....

So far, there are about roughly three weeks left of the school holidays.... Not much has trasnpired-that is, in the eyes of people who can't sit still. I-being perfectly capable of sitting still-find it quite eventful. Lately, even the simplest things in life feel monumetal. They in turn make me feel content, despite not being able to go to Istanbul or Jakarta with camera and diary in hand.

First of all, it is my honest opinion that New Moon sucks. This is in no way meant to hurt the gazillions of The Twilight Saga fans out there. I do understand though that by saying this, I have signed my death warrant. However, I'm not afraid of dying or mobs of crazy, love-lorn people- whose very lifeblood is now dependent on the story of Bella, Edward, Jacob and the rest of their jinbang all rolled up into one ball drenched to the bone in promises of everlasting love, stiff acting on Robert Pattinson's part and superd emotion on Kristen Stewart's, and a bit of action between werewolves and vampires -chasing after me with silver pitchforks and wooden stakes wrapped with garlic. In fact, I truely hope that Eclipse will indeed exclipse the dull experience that I had on opening night on the 26th of November.

Moving on to brighter things, I am now dragging my mother at every opportunity that life presents me, to the bookstore. By some holy miracle of Allah, she buys any novel that I ask for. This is indeed a rarity. Nonetheless, I welcome it like a jab of morfin after surgery. I have two new books in my possesion now; My Name is Red by Orhan Pamuk and The Gathering by Anne Enright. I have finished the former and am now steadfastly savouring the latter word by word, meaning by meaning.

Truth be told, my back, knees and backside really hurt. The muscles are sore. This is due to several reasons:
1. My lack of exercise
2. My sudden and fast bouts of badminton with my brother
3. Helping my teacher clean up the Text Books store room.

In simpler, lay man's terms, I am enjoying my holiday. Despite the percieved sparseness of it. Make the most of life... because you only live twice...XD
