CNY EVE

Whooooo.. it's Chinese New Year Eve already! That's pretty fast, considering how the first month of 2006 is already ending. Tonight, would be the first night

Alright. I know hexane doesn't cause brain damage. I went to do some slight research.

Bought the Just Like Heaven novel yesterday. It's a pretty good read, just that some major parts of the movie didn't tally with the book. So.... it was somewhat disappointing. I shan't go into details, I know loads of peeps who didn't get to watch it. No point me ranting about the storyline.

All I have to say is, the way authors depict their characters are really awesome. You can imagine yourself living the life they're living, down to the very sock colour you're wearing. Walking in the streets of London, Manhattan, NY, wherever. And doing the things they do - in this novel, the dude's an architect - and getting into the situations they find themselves in.

That's my temporary high; living out someone else's life. But in books only, of course. Trying to escape from reality... and hoping some miraculous situation would happen in my own life so I don't find living my own life boring.

Message From God: You have to live your own life. What I gave you. Be appreciative, instead of trying to run away from your life because you think there's too many problems in it you can't solve. And wishing you had another's cause you think he's living off much better than yourself. It doesn't happen like that. The only reason why you think your life is boring is because you don't try to make it interesting.

So who have I got to blame? No one.

Sometimes I wish I don't think that deeply into matters. I wish I was less emotive (if there's such a word), then I wouldn't string so many problems out for myself. I would burrow deeper and deeper and deeper under the skin of things, just to WISH I find something wrong with it.

As usual, I'm writing alot more horse-nibblewitty-radish than usual. So ta-ta! Enjoy your reunion dinners! I'm thinking steamboat with abalone and dumplings. Mmmmmmm...
