Born in the wrong era? No. There is no wrong era.

the wait has ended! the package arrived today! :)
got me mgs 1&2 ost's from gk world! hehe. it's been at least 4 long weeks of waiting since it was ordered.
only thing is...fatty was the one who discovered it. sian. wanted to come home in anticipation, find a package on the table and rush over to take it.
he had the privilege of experiencing that... in the end let him cut open the box also.
but that's ok. went up to my room, opened it up to examine and everything...and then...played it.

ahhh music to my ears. read, and finished, the rest of 'til we have faces' while listening to the cd's. on the whole, it was a nice read. sometimes, it's almost as though he's writing poetry in prose or something like that. the only problem i had with the book was that at some parts, the story was unbearable...too ughh...wished those parts would end faster. like when orual 'confronted' psyche and stabbed her arm that part...couldn't tahan(problem is me lah. if i feel like that means the man did a splendid job). but of course there were also parts that kept me glued to the book(the happier sections generally, or those bits that had some mystical revelation about them). i particularly liked to imagine how that prince fella was slain by the queen. cool.

sat i bought 2 more books. arrrr more money out of my pocket! but i couldn't resist. saw the titles(and the thickness(thinness actually)), stuff i've been interested in for quite a while(and i neglected the price tag) and i rarely saw them too, so buy loh. i have decided that there is an order in which i shall read them, but first i need to get my hands on "through the shadowlands". now all i got is some screen adaptaion, which i will probably read instead seeing how "tts" is quite unobtainable (at least, i haven't any cheapo ways to acquire it). oh well then..

today it rained quite heavily.
which is good. =D
it also reminded me, as i looked out the window during physics pratical trial, that i've not played in the rain for quite a while liao. remember how i used to try and get sick(obviously to miss school) by playing in the rain when it was a heavy downpour. how i'd go down to the playground and jump about in the rain(i'd be the only one there though, unless the ball came along) and play on the especially-slippery-slide and just do all sorts of nonsense.
think i should play in the rain someday. take a bike and cycle around. get off and jump up and down. step in the drains with their rapid water flow. maybe run around in a field and get muddy(wah this really never do for how long...). all i need is a day with heavy rain, and some spare time. that'll do fine.

just showed the ball some videos of metal gear solid on youtube. he says he should play it someday. watching those scenes again, i've decided that within this year, i'll borrow the ps from james and cheong through the game in one sitting. just wait for it!
