You guys and gals, seriously, the chatbox messages make me wanna cry (in a good way la, k?) :)

Chee-v kor, Mr Anderson, Stephanie, Sara, and many more... thanks for not giving up on my blog even when I did.

Tadaima! (I'm back)

KF pretty much forced me to update XD

... And I came back and realized the last post was a really misleading cliffhanger.

So here's a new one =P

Lately:

I found out Lady Gaga once did burlesque... wohoo! Makes sense, as she shows off some burlesque-ish moves in Eh Eh's video.

I love the vid! It's so colourful! XD

Purposely put a link instead of embedding as that version of the video is one of the clearest I've seen, with lyrics at the sidebar.

I also finally made the leap and bought preloved/books online! ^^

Quite a number of books coming by post... *bliss*. I love getting goodies in the mail :)

Books 'N' Stuff

Kit's having a clearance sale bcoz she's moving house, and I got some reads from her.

.All pics by Kit.

The Stone Menegarie, The Dragons at War, and The Once and Future King are pretty much standard stuff for me - magic, fantasy, etc XD

Kiki Strike got astoundingly good reviews on Amazon ;)

Susuk as I'm plain curious, lol.

Right now I'm pretty much waiting for the parcel to arrive, hope everything will turn out alright. Kit's been nice to deal with though :)

I'm such a hoarder. I'm moving house too by December, and exams are very near.... but I'm considering it as a pre-post exam treat =P

Wohoo Adele, hehe.

Ok la, this post's stretched wayyyyy too long.

Ciao for now! Finals in 8 days' time.

Gee >.<

It's the hols!

My aunt who's currently living in Germany will be back for two weeks, along with my cousins Erik and Vanessa. Can't wait for their arrival on Thursday! =)

In the meantime, I took out some books from the Monash library. I know, I know. What am I thinking? XD I'm behind in my Law and Comm reading, and here I am happily reading fiction. Oh well.

Out of that list, I probably won't want to go near Anna Karenina again, unless I'm having trouble sleeping XD

Whoot! I passed my undang test with 46/50. I know, I know. Probably almost everyone in my circle has taken it AND got their driving license... but I'm so relieved my one day of studying got me through =)

Laziness has got me engulfed in its rather tight folds. I regret to say that even the simple task of plugging my camera into the USB port and enduring the slow and torturous process of uploading my holiday pics and posting them up is hard.

How I spent approx. RM 40 today:

RM10 - Picture for my L license (horrible shot *shudders* )
RM10 - Lunch at A&W
RM20 - Letter from Father Christmas by J.R.R. Tolkien

Got that from XCESS bookshop at Amcorp Mall. Great place. Prices are not as good as Atria's book warehouse, but ambiance for a bargain bookshop is 'wow!'. Went there together with Joann from G14, while we were waiting with two other girls to sit for the test.

That's another book for the Tolkien section of my bookshelf! and thankfully one that I actually want to read and not just to collect because it's a Tolkien XD

P/S: Adele is watching Yamada Taro Monogatari... and loves the show so far =)
