The Day Talos Gets His Books

Chinese New Year is just around the corner and my work schedule is like amazing. Morning shift all the way for three weeks. Off day this coming Saturday, in which I’ll be a busy little bee. But I’m free Friday night. So if anyone want to ask me out for dinner to catchup, especially those mentioned in my previous post, please do so. And of course SiSter and Sea Hum.

So like I said before, I’m planning to take up art again, specifically painting. But somehow I doubt that my brother will take it kindly with the sudden appearance of an easel at the corner of our room. Nor the stinky paint smells. Guess I’ll have to find an alternative. Or start when I get my own place in the future.

So in the meantime while I hold my horses on the arty farty fancies, I need a new hobby. I’ve read my books over and over and over and over that I’m in serious need of some new materials. Thankfully, my brother will be, once again, generously picking up some books for me soon. But seriously, other than jogging and reading, what else can I do to unwind before I start turning sadistic? Any suggestions?

And this CNY, surprise surprise!!! I’ll not be working! Whoo!!! And if I may, I’ll add a Hoo!!! Apparently they gave me a whoopin’ three days off starting from the first day of CNY even though they are open for those days. Working on the eve from opening till closing at 5pm.

Guess I’ll be going out on the third day for some movies. Would it be too evil to sit at my workplace while they are slogging and watch them work while I relax? Probably.

Most importantly. My pay day is coming. At last I can use my hard earned cash to go relax. Like a movie. I wonder what would be nice. Hmmm.

Ok such a random post for today. And I’m wondering what to title this post…

[update]

OMG!!! I’ve just gotten my books from my brother. A whooping 6 titles including…

Hannibal Rising by Thomas Harris
The Associate by John Grisham
Anathem by Neal Stephenson
The Hour I First Believed by Wally Lamb
Duma Key by Stephen King
The Terror by Dan Simmons

I’ll post pictures below later. A whooping 5.6 kg total weight of glorious paper and ink. I can’t wait. I’m feeling the low right now. And no, you can’t exhange brothers with me.

And here are the photos…

The last photo shows the total books weight on the scale at 5.6kg. I’m calling those books my baby for the time being. My baby weighs 5.6kg. Oh God, I’m so proud. *sniffles*

See. Sometimes you don’t need fancy gifts to make someone happy. Especially for me. I’m fine with books and all. Currently looking for the book Stardust. Although if someone wants to give me a Nintendo DSi, I wouldn’t say no. Which reminds me of a joke.
