the past few days....

...has been pretty normal. the all familiar pattern of wake-up - work - home- eat - sleep. nothing unusual. well, maybe my working life s changing a bit or at least i feel it's changing a tiny bit. just found out that one of my neighbours has just got posted to WCP. funny thing is that i've never seen him before when in fact both of us have lived in the same block of flats for the past 15 years. i'm pathetic.

anyways, i just coped me the latest title from the HON series, Awakened. :)


i have already done reading it hours after i bought it since i'm such a freak reader and i must say i'm not disappointed at all. the series gets better and better. almost reaching it's climax i think. anywho, the next book, which will prolly be the last title in the series, will be out come November 2011. oh, the title of the book is Destined. i'm putting really high expectations on this coming book in the series.i hope it doesn't disappoint 'cos it's predecessors did well.

well i'm still looking for new titles and new series to get my hands on. i think i'd prolly stick to the same genre of books 'cos ALL of my books are the same genre ad concept. thanks to the Twilight Saga, all my titles have to do with myths, legends, witchcraft and fantasy. i really let my imagination run wild when i'm reading my books.

and if anyone of the series get turned into a movie i'm hoping it will be the Wicked Series. the content is just AWESOME. the author is just AWESOME. the series is just SO AWESOME!

okay, i'm done :)

busy day

woke up early... yadayadayada...

went to Prudential's office, which is next to Singapore Shopping Centre which i didn't know existed, signed up a savings plan. i'm happy that i made a decision, and a pretty grown up one at that, for signing my own insurance plan. it's a savings cum insurance plan. which will reach maturity when i turn 46. may seem long but i plan not to touch the money at all, in case of emergency only.

i'll be canceling my savings account with POSB this Friday. it defeats the purpose, for e at least, when they decided to attach our my savings account so that it can be easily accessible via atm. that step just made the money too accessible to me since i've finally realised that i'm actually a splurger when it comes to shopping.

i made new financial decisions after finalising the insurance and savings plans details with my Prudential Agent.

the decision that i made few months ago about wanting to continue studying has been shaken up quite alot, i might add. but that is for a later day. once i've settled the muck in my head that is.

'sides the trip to Prudential, went grocery shopping at NTUC for rations for work and other important stuff with the voucher i received for my birthday which i received from work. whew! long sentence aye?

and i bought 3 new titles, one was for brother, another Percy Jackson book. glad that i got him hooked on to reading a book. 'cos that's how i improved my english and hoping that it'd help him like how it has helped me.

the other two titles are;



i'm prolly gonna be done with the books before the week ends. and then i'll get bored again.the 8th book of the HON series will be out Jan 2011 and i'm psyched to get my hands on it and devour it in one sitting like all the other titles before it.

i'm still deciding if i want to get my hands on the Immortals series by Alyson Noel and the Night World series by L.J Smith or get the Inkheart trilogy. if i do, the big problem is, where do i keep them all??

i need wall to wall book shelves *groans*

new books! but too bad i've done reading them. ..

i bought these 2 titles just two days ago, and i'm already done reading them. if i'm going to be buying and reading books in one day, i'll have a library collection by the time the year ends. definitely going to be needing new bookshelves pretty soon.


anyways, the two books are addictive and the writing style and content of the books were nicely put in place. i'll be buying the 2nd and 3rd book of the Wicked series prolly by the end of the month and will be waiting for Awakened, which is the 8th book out of the HON series to be out in stores.

not wanting to sound selfish, i also bought a new title for babybro. he's, recently, into the Percy Jackson books. i think he got interested in it since he didn't get to catch the movie with me. so i bought him the 2nd title on account that he passed his mid year's exams.

i also promised that i'll buy him the whole series next month. actually i made a deal with him, if he can finish wrapping all my 13 books i'll buy him the series as soon as he's done wrapping.

i guess i'm done. i would have wanted to blog about how much i hate work - fucking hate it!, and how pissed i am for not getting my leave approved - fucking pissed 'cos i'm not over it yet but i know it will prolly do me no good 'cos apparently they won't know how much we suffer unless they do what we do every single day.

i'm done, no sense getting angry when there's no one to vent it on.

Update(s).

hello world, i'm back again. though i don't know when i'll be back blogging about my oh-so un-exciting life.

well anyways, i had a movie date with Khai. we watched Alice in Wonderland, in 3D! okay, ignore my excitement about watching Johnny Depp in 3D. it was my first time watching a movie in 3D. so, again, ignore my jakun-ism.

the movie itself was okay, the graphics were beautiful but in the end the plot just went dry. if it wasn't for Johnny Depp being n the movie i wouldn't have watched it, so yeah, i have this super big crush on him. now i'm sounding just a tad bit like a crazed fan girl.

i had major fun with Khai, we talked about almost everything. and we did alot of stupid stuff. and because of that, i'm totally excited to meet my girls this weekend.

by the way i watched Alice in Wonderland again with my siblings. not that great watching it w/o 3D. then we went to Popular to browse book titles. found a few titles and a few series of books to get my hands on with my next pay packet. I have this sudden need to read other vampire type books after and other than the Twilight Saga.

this is a heads up for those of you who want some other vampire related book to read other than the Twilight Saga, it's called the Hose of Night Series. i find it more believable than Twilight 'cos Twilight is more fantasy/romance based whereas the House of Night series to me is more realistic in a sense 'cos the way the authors included how it feels to be a teen and having supernatural powers like the main protagonist has.

I've read the first 6 books, in 5 days cos i'm a freak like that, and am waiting excitedly for the 7th book to be in stores.

so yeah, these are the books i'm talking about.

bye everybody. :)
