Disappeared for more than a month. Too many things to ponder upon and simply afraid to voice it. Perhaps i've been too angry or upset to say stuff, afraid to reveal what i think. Today, this two weeks, i guess i've decided to take a light-hearted stance towards some of the shit that bothered me.

Apart from all that ... i've caught Pratchett Fever!!!!

It all began with a nice and coveted parcel of books as a belated birthday present, one of these being Terry Pratchett's Thief of Time. i've always avoided buying Terry Pratchett or even looking at his books because i thought, Man ... look at his body of work, the Discworld series is this entire two rows of a shelf at least! Quite scary, just thinking about it. In addition to that, i also tend to get huge headaches reading fantasy fiction. Because just imagining it, entire worlds, brings about migraines.

So i guess you could say i had my doubts. And the first few chapters of the book didn't help either. Cryptic and confusing. However, his satirical wit shone through too brightly. Therefore i read on, and got trapped. Then i went and bought Thud!, and The Wee Free Men. i decided to take a break from so much Pratchett and so very little money kinda forced my hand. But last week i bought the second Tiffany Aching book, A Hat Full of Sky. Itching to read it now ...

Hmmm, should i read today or leave it till next week when i go on holiday? Or buy another Pratchett and read this one now? Aiya, too little time, so many books. And believe me or not, i do intend to eat up all the Pratchetts. You think i haven't caught anything serious?

SONG FOR A MOOD
Hard Life / Meng Ngang - Justin Lo. There he was, belting out Leslie Cheung's song with Gary Chaw at Gary's Welcome to My World concert. I still prefer the original version of that song. And this one ... one of his nicest. It's romantic. But it also makes me think about my working life, quite tough, babe.
