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.

Horizonal Life Wish

Yesterday was a wonderful day for me. First Von chatted with me on whatsapp and I realized that I truly, deeply miss her.

Secondly, bestie Serene came down to visit me at my workplace. Even though it was just a wave hi and an SMS bye, it was good to see her again and her smile. I’m constantly amazed that she can smile so brilliantly after being through so much and I admire her strength. It’s also good to know that her current Beau is so supportive and that they are happy together. I hope that we’ll meet up soon to catch up since it has been ages since we’ve met.

Another friend that I miss would be Mr. Voldemort who is currently holding my book hostage as I’m holding his. Voldemort has begun a new life as a student with a new group of friends and I’m sure he’s having fun. But I can’t help but miss him.

So far my life has been less than flowery for me. At least not to what I can achieve. Feeling constantly under-used and getting used to a new culture has been whoozy for me to say the least. But for the time being, it’ll have to do. Awaiting to rebuild my life block by block.

Sometimes I just wish I had a clear vision of my future. To know my purpose in life. And to be able to live it without judgement. Without having to deal with the expectations and ultimately disappointments of peers and others. But I guess I’ll have to grow into my own skin to feel comfortable in it. And to be confident in life.

This year, I hope to be able to live life. To do what I really like. To read and to enjoy art. To take up painting again. Maybe in future to travel. To live.
