I finally got myself to do something to occupy myself during this period of time. My mind is filled with nothing but muses of what is there to do at work, which customer happens to be taking what medication (weirdly enough, if I see them on the street, I could make a good guess as to what they are taking), and the neverending complaints and politics of the pharmacy. The effect is multiplied and compounded with having Wooi Lynn as a colleage when she shares the same sentiments as you do. Anyway... I decided to download a heap of movies, and one of them was the highly talked about "Twilight". Turns out it was a love story between a human and a vampire, as for the movie, it felt choppy to me in parts. Later on I found out that it was an adaptation from a novel, and so I got on to it. Little did I realise that I missed out so much about the story, had I just watched the movie. It definitely is always a big disappointment when you read the book, only to find that they try to condense a five-hundred page novel into an hour and a half. The book to me brings about so much intensity and draws the reader's attention to what this story portrays. There was so much about teenage angst and sexual tension between the both of them that you could feel. After reading it, I realised that there were a couple more books about it, and I didn't know if I should continue on. Apparently the other books were not that well-received, and I didn't do myself any favours by reading the synopsis of what the other books were about. So the dilemma now is whether I should read the other books. But otherwise, a fair attempt.
I've been feeling quite restless lately. I'm surprised that I've mellowed with the hype of the Nintendo Wii, given that there aren't many new games to really follow up with. The newest game to be on the market, Street Fighter IV, which happens to be something I would love to play, does not exist on the Nintendo Wii platform! So that is definitely off-limits to me. Sigh. The one thing that I am looking forward to is to watch the Oscar-winning "Slumdog Millionaire". Whilst I wait for that, I'm still in pursuit of a new place to live. Wooi Lynn and I are earnestly looking for a dream place to live in after some of the dreadful things that have happened while we're in there (ants, crazy druggie neighbour, bitchy landlady who refuses to fix shower), and to be given more news today that they are intending to increase the rent by forty dollars. So we are definitely looking out now. If only I could really have some time off work to take my mind off the craziness that's going on, that would be swell. Oh well... time for bed!
