I haven't been online in a while. When I mean a while, it means my laptop hasn't been touched by me since Friday night. Yeah sure, one day of avoiding the computer, big whoop!(as dear elaina might say.) But somehow, it feels like so long ago.
Maybe reading 'where the truth lies' just prolonged the seconds... the book was sometimes interesting to the point where i couldn't bear to put it down without groaning out my displeasure, and yet, sometimes a little monotonous that i sped read through that particular point. The plot itself already promised scandals galore to readers, and i sure wasn't disappointed. But it wasn't as if every corner and word in the book focused on these scandals alone. There were a few fleeting moments, scattered and far-in-between, that were really down-to-earth, and even touching per say. Holmes really is a good writer.
Saturday's band was not bad and quite 'fun' as quoted by Lian Ping. Well, the only reason why it was fun for her was because of the lack of scoldings she had gotten. Well, I'm happy for her. Whether it should be an occasion for my happiness on her account is entirely a different topic. Lunch was spent waiting tiredly as we 'tah pao-ed' food from the coffee shop and eating merrily at the void deck. 'Lunch is my favourite part of band,' said Ping happily, still munching on her noodles. When I'd commented that it wasn't technically band, she replied that along as the band was involved, it was counted.
At night, I went for mass at OLPS which was followed by quick dining at the nearest food outlet located at Bedok. In a detailed account, we ate chicken rice at the hawker centre. I almost died because I happened to leave my book unread at a particularly 'juicy' moment and was 'forced' to bear an hour of walking around bedok doing 'shopping'. In the end, I paid for the taxi ride home because I didn't want to waste any time I had to read my book by 'walking'.
I absolutely can't wait for the trip, whether or not the project we have to do (which cost more than $2000 apparently) has put a damper on my spirit.
And I really can't wait for 'havoc' to begin! (:
