Of books and cartoons

Ever since the Singapore trip (which I haven blogged about), I have very little personal time. And this Sunday is 1st day of Chinese New Year! Time passes by so fast, its un believable. But I'm glad that I feel that this year has past me by so fast. This means that I had things to do, things to buy, books to read, lami to play, badminton to play...... You know what I mean rite?

I just finished reading this book. "The Lightning Thief" by Rick Riordan. Its a great book......for children or otherwise. It certainly kept me entertained throughout. There are some books which started out great but my interest waned before mid-book. So yeah...if I have time tonight, then I'll definitely start reading on the 2nd book tonight.


This series of books is something like Harry Porter except that its more about the greek gods, like Zeus, Hades, Poseidon. Greeks mythologies are one of my greatest interest. Even from a young age, I love to read about how the Earth have different seasons. It is Summer becoz Persephone is back with her mother and for the rest of the time she is with her hubby Hades. Its very interesting how the different elements are explained by the activities of the different gods. No caps for G coz this is not "God", the almighty.

On another note altogether, I accompanied Bi to eat Soto last night. No, I only drank apple juice, din eat anything at all. Anyhow, while we were there, the TV was switched on to Nickelodeon and the cartoon is gross.

It has a monster which hold its eyes with its arm stretched up and got hairy armpit some more. Sigh!

I just found out that the cartoon series is called 'Ahhh!!!Real Monsters' Wiki link here.

See that flesh coloured monster on the right? Yeah thats the one with the hairy armpits.

I wonder how did such programs get aired and kids actually watch these type of cartoons? Same thing like that cartoon from Cartoon Network 'Cow & Chicken'. Its horrible! What are the kids learning from these shows everyday?

If I have kids, I'll lock them up and not let them watch TV till they are like of legal age.....haha, just kidding. But seriously, the cartoons (or animes) that I watched from before are like Dragonball, Sailormoon, Poli (the super pig). I find it all a bit educating, coz its essentially teaching us about good and evil. (to me la)

There have been so many instances where I came by my blog and I want to blog about so many things in my life. But there were also as many instances where I just gave up and kept my thoughts to myself. I am 34 years old in 2017 and soon I will be another year older. I am getting more jaded every year because of the things that I have seen. I also feel aimless. I feel as if I am meant to do something more than this. I do not want to wake up and go to work Monday to Friday and so happy when its Friday and becoming depressed when its Sunday (coz the next day would be Monday) It's not like I want to be a millionaire or something like that. Even though money is still important (Hey, I still gotta eat, cant very well grow my own food), it no longer hold the same position as compared to a few years ago. I do not care very much for status as well. Its all so fleeting. After being married in 2013, I am still childless at the moment. Its not by design but I dun mind it all that m...

Unveiling

I was so excited yesterday. Someone called and told me that it was ready for pick up. What is ready for pick up? What makes me so excited? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . What else would make me so excited other than cars? Woo Hoo!!!!! Subaru Impreze STi !!!! How cool is that? Bi fetched me yesterday around 5pm to pick up the car. I could not sit still at home. Was feeling so excited. STi has 3 settings, Intelligence, Sport and Sport Sharp. I read an article online saying that the Intelligence mode makes the STi crawls like a snail. Hmmmm, their exact words not mine. So Bi and me took the car out for a short drive. We were kinda disappointed with the power. It was then we realised that the setting was at intelligence. OMG!!!! When we changed the settings to Sport Sharp, the power is unbelievable. Its like 3 times faster and more powerful. We hit 180 km/h in less than 2 minutes (mite be less if not for those few turtles on the road). In the past S15 will need quite some time to hit 16...

After you by Jojo Moyes

After I read Me Before You by Jojo Moyes  a few years ago, I was waiting for the sequel. What would happen to Lou after Will left? What would her life be? If I am Lou, I will constantly ask myself 'Why am I not enough?' 'Is there anything that I could have done to change his mind?' 'Was it all just me? Just in my mind?' In this sequel, Lou was a wreck! But it's understandable though, she had just lost the love of her life. She has lost someone who had shown her the different aspects of life. Showed her that the life she have had is so unbelievably small. There is so much more to live for. Showed her how she could have made a difference! I couldn't put the book down and I finished it within 1 and a half day. It was strangely compelling. You will be rooting get for Lou all the way. Although there are times that you can't help but get angry with her! 'What was she thinking??????' There was a part in the book that addresses the length of ti...
