I woke up quite late today, but instead of heading for the shower immediately, I grabbed the book I borrowed from the library called
Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte and started reading it on my bed. It's a really interesting novel that I couldn't stop reading until noon. The author wrote this book in 1847, and it's amazing
how famous she'd become although this was the only book she'd ever written (along with about a dozen poems). They say that she wrote this story as an indirect reflection of her own life. It is about love, obsession, hatred, sadness, solitude, and revenge. I love Bronte's use of language in explaining the story. Anyway there are already thousands of scholarly essays and book reviews out there about
Wuthering Heights, so go google it if you're interested! I'd give 4 out of 5 stars for this book.
Anyway, I was browsing for a new blog layout in
Blogskins (but then I decided to stick to my current layout as I couldn't be bothered spending a lot of time implementing a new one and making it pretty -- at least for now). Then I forgot how I ended up in a site that was full of cat stuffs: cat desktop themes, cat cursors, cat icons, cat wallpapers, etc etc, including cat Mozilla Firefox themes!! So I installed one theme which was this one:
I really love the cat icons at the top! They're so cute, cute, cute, and most importantly: they're cats! (As a human being who's overly obsessed with cats, I could ramble for paragraphs about them; considering its unnecessity, let's move to another topic.)
Meanwhile, it's been almost 2 weeks since the end of my final exams, yet until now I still haven't managed to clean up my house. That's probably one of the biggest weaknesses in Leo people (like me and a lot of my friends and some of my family members and my ex): they're completely lazy unless they have a REASON to do the things that they need to do. So beware if you're marrying a Leo! Hahaha!!
Anyway, early in the evening I went to Courtenay Central to meet up with my brother as well as my friends. I was browsing in the bookstore when I accidentally bumped into Hannah, so we had dinner together while waiting for my Indo friends to come (biasa laa.. pada hobi ngaret, hehe). At around 8:30pm we all walked to an area just beside Frank Kitts park to watch the fireworks (it's Guy Fawkes night tonight). This is the first time that I ever watch the fireworks from the seaside. Last year I saw it from Wisma with the other KBRI people, and in the previous years I normally had an exam or something that I could only watch them from home (luckily the fireworks were still visible from the dining room).

Finalement, I got my brand new contact lenses. This is the very first time I've every tried wearing them, and oh God I was struggling on trying to put them in my eyes! But then it was even harder when I tried to take them off that I almost gave up. Whew!
Yesterday I finished reading
Love on the Dotted Line by David E Talbert. I don't normally like chick lits as the plot usually bores me, but I have to admit that I enjoyed reading this one. I'd give it 4 stars out of 5. It's about a
broken-hearted woman who got sick of men who luv to play games on women. Anyway, this woman's a lawyer, and she became frustrated up to the point where she decided to create a "pre-prenuptial" contract that would secure her relationships with men. So she started dating a new man, and a few weeks later when things got "hot", she made him sign the contract under duress. A few months passed, and she found out that he cheated on her, so she took him to court, and that's where the excitement begins. If you want a more detailed review about this book just google it! I can't be bothered to type a lot right now.
Anyway, I'm sick of
manja girls who are sooo dependent on others! It's like they'd rather not go out unless someone picks them up. Sheesh! Unlike them, I'd catch the bus, take the train, and walk through rain, thunder, and storm if I really have to!
Dah ah, lagi males blogging nih sebenernya.

Seems like it was yesterday when I saw your face.
You told me how proud you were, but I walked away.
If only I knew what I know today...
Gemma Ward and Josh Hartnett
I would hold you in my arms. I would take the pain away. Thank you for all you've done. Forgive all your mistakes. There's nothing I wouldn't do to hear your voice again. Sometimes I want to call you, but I know you won't be there.
I'm sorry for blaming you. For everything I just couldn't do. And I've hurt myself by hurting you.
Sometimes I feel broke inside but I won't admit. Sometimes I just want to hide cos it's you I miss. You know it's hard to say goodbye when it comes to this.
Would you tell me I was wrong? Would you help me understand? Are you looking down upon me? Are you proud of who I am? There's nothing I wouldn't do to have just one more chance, to look into your eyes and see you looking back.
If I had just one more day, I would tell you how much that I've missed you since you've been away. Oh it's dangerous. It's so out of line.. to try and turn back time.
