Now i’m reading Son of the Witch, the sequel to Wicked. The story continues with the legacy of Elphaba, Liir. Here are summarised extracts of a conversation from one chapter that i rather liked.Extract from Son of a Witch by Gregory MaguireCandle, “I have seen those walls among the trees, and I thought perhaps they ...
It was a dark day-less place, forsaken by the sun itself. The rows of willow trees bordering the area only added to the creepiness of the place. The smell of rot and earth hangs thickly in the air, so putrid that even the winds break dissipate against it instead. The taste of staleness in the ...
I’m at my aunt’s house to make this blog post. Normally this wouldn’t be anything special, but this time round, it’s somewhat special. So anyway, what do you think could possibly be the most horrible thing to ever happen to a professional bum? Tick tock, tick tock. Answers anyone?Motherboard spoil.With the advent of the spoilage ...
In Singapore, when citizens reach the age of 30, we have to change, renew rather, our identity cards. Supposedly, there were three chances to renew the card, coinciding with the three reminders that the um.. organization would send out. The first reminder came, i looked at it and forgot.Upon getting the second reminder, being the ...
I swear weirdest things can happen when it comes to me. There are these automatically generated related-posts when you click on the title of any posts on my blog (at the bottom of the post). So the last post i talked a little about condoms and there were three related posts and i clicked on ...
Sigh sigh sigh. Why am i blogging?Anyway, milk ran out again, another cycling trip to Shop n Save, another conundrum. This time round, i had told mom that i was heading to Shop n Save and asked her if there was anything she wanted. She mentioned a couple things like dragonfruit and oranges, all of ...
i’ll cast aside all the cynicism i have for this.. place that i live in and my family call home (well, almost all), happy national day everyone.
The run is next Sunday. Didn’t run much last week and am not going to run much next week. Let’s hope i can make it through the run without walking too much. Or without collapsing for that matter. Anyway, i met up with two of my cousins to collect the race packs today.During the race ...
Some updates. I think the baby nephew is causing an inconvenient lack of sleep in me. Just awhile ago, my hands were trembling of their own accord, without even needing to hold onto anything. Usually they tremble only when i hold onto items.Well, it could be that i was hungry or it could be that ...
I first read about polyphasic sleep when i was working. This occurred during a time when i was working and was sleeping at 12am and waking up at 6am every weekday. Sometimes when i’ …
Omg.. did something change? How come i can say, “I’ve not been working for nearly a year.” anymore? Suddenly, for no reason at all, i have to start saying, “I’ve not been working for more than a year.”. Boohoo.. it must be that i’ve grown old. Now i’m old. Feeble. Useless. Undesirable *ahem*Yawn yawn. I’m ...
No Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince spoilers here.I went to watch Harry Potter today. Yeah, i know, it was supposed to be yesterday. Procrastination rules my life. Anyway, i was queuing for my ticket for one at the counter when i notice a couple (i assume couple) in front of me. They had brought ...
Some poor guy died while swimming in a triathlon. It’s really sad and also kind of scary. With a half marathon (army half marathon) coming up and having signed up for the full marathon (standard charter), i always wonder if my method of going into the night would be collapsing from strenuous physical activity.I know ...
