The curiosity enlarges, like a rapidly-spreading miasma. Now, I would like to peek into her head too. Because I see a certain behaviour in her actions, her laughter and her voice, which is familiar, all too reminiscient. Of myself. And I wonder, could it be?
Could it be?
I should think so, it could very, very possibly be.
For the first time in roughly 2 years, I'm actually reading avidly again. It's like the end of the mid-years opened up this whole new craving for books, this ravenous hunger to read as much as I can. Talking to Mark today about books made me realise I haven't been reading, and can't read, like I used to when I was young. One of the blessings of childhood is the minimal distractions, and I don't mean physical distractions. I mean the distractions in your head. In a way, when you were young, you don't think much when you read, you just absorb the story like a dry sponge. Now, when reading, you find yourself questioning a lot of things, being critical, or pondering over a million other things which preoccupy you, which have absolutely nothing to do with the book. Now, I feel like I have a deadline, like I must read as much as possible before the end arrives. Which I assume to be the A levels. In about two months, it'll be our prelims. And in 3 months plus, it will be the A levels. I'm getting quite scared, because I have no sense of worry or urgency. I know midyears just ended, but it's hardly an excuse to completely put aside my work. I'm sure getting back my results tomorrow will set that straight though.
Watched my very first M18 movie today, muahaha. And technically, I'm not even eighteen yet. "Thank You for Smoking"- awesome movie. No special effects whatsoever, this is a movie which is a smash because of pure wit and radical perspectives. I don't really think it warrants an M18 rating, but it was probably cos of the sex scenes. Not that you could see anything, but it was rather vigorous. Haha. I really like the film, especially how it didn't become all preachy and morally upright. Instead, it focused on Nick Naylor's extremely fascinating personality. Do catch it if you can, at the new Cathay cineplex if you can! It's a lovely place.
I should think I'm gonna sleep soon, World Cup finals made me suffer with barely five hours of sleep, and so many weird things happened.
Anyway, I saved the best for last.
Happy birthday, Dari sweetie!!! LOTS OF LOVE! To Chingy, Bel and Dari, I know we haven't celebrated your birthdays properly, but soon, alright! Expect the unexpected :D
