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).
