Books

For the lack of stuff to write here...

Lookie at the books I bought the other day when I was back in Malacca!!! WHOOOOHOOO!

I got them all, except for Garth Nix's Superior Saturday, at a sale! About RM16 for each; I catapulted to the seventh heaven, man. And all in one day! TvT

Of course I've devoured them all; I only brought 3 back with me to KL. I love Nightseer by Laurell K. Hamilton. =D I think Lothor is too smexy =P ... & Keleios should be thankful, that dratted, lucky woman. >=(

Dune; House Harkonnen was slow in the beginning... but I was patient, and it paid off. All the seemingly seperate stories ended up so interwoven with each other, leading to quite a satisfying end. =)

The Mark of Ran, The Beasts of Barakhai and Flightless Falcon were okay, I guess. Not much to gripe or scream about. But the sequel to The Beasts of Barakhai should be worth checking out, though the book was a little slow... but I've read worse.

And I went to Midvalley last Saturday, and could almost break the wall with my head, I tell you... I saw 3 books that I was waiting for (for like almost 2 years) in paperback and saw another new one I was really really interested in... and I didn't have enough money! T_T I'm such a spoilt brat.. =_=" But I don't spend on much, and only books are my poison. So I guess that's kinda justified in my case (to go ballistic over books)?

So I only got the latter and it turned out pretty good, actually. ^_^ I'm gonna go back to MPH and get the other 3 soon. I KNOW. >:D So just you wait, Drizzt and Wolfcry; I'll be back.

And I wanna add another rant here. I've actually never been to those cafe which specialize in coffees, like Starbucks and what not. I went to Coffee Bean to kill time that Saturday and, wanting to save money for more guilty pleasures-coughcoughbookscough-, I chose the least expensive drink they offered : Espresso, single. It was RM5. So there I was, waiting for my drink, when the guy placed a saucer on the counter and a reeeally tiny cup. You know, the ones we played masak-masak with when we were younger but this was made of glass with the Coffee Bean logo. That BLOODY tiny. And I thought it was empty, but no, I peeked in, and saw it was only HALF-BLOODY-FULL. WTFF?

So there I was, sitting at the lonely table with my spit of coffee while all the other ppl had like jumbo jets of coffee at theirs. =_=" And I had to make mine last for like 3 hours. WTH. What was I to do? Lick at it? =_="

Oh jeez. Longest 3 hours with a cuppa ever.

Sleep Travelling

Meet my sister, Denise.

Yes, we do stuff her in the car boot when there's no space for her to seat. What..? She's happy.

She likes to do weird stuff. Like putting her head outta car windows-

Sorry wrong picture; this is my dog Shadow. She used to be a cute shaggy doggie. Now she's a cute shaggy lazy bear. =_=

Okay this is Denise. Probably the shortest prefect in her school.


Denise has a well let's say, unique habit. This is why I don't sleep with her on the same bed; I surrendered the whole thing to her after several nights; How do you stand it, Beatrix??? D:<



She so does not look like this asleep.

Denise 'goes round the world' when she sleeps. She will travel from her pillows to the end of the bed, to the other end and back again. Heck, once she scared my aunt who was sleeping with her on the floor (on mattresses) by pulling a disappearing trick; rolling under the bed. Still asleep. My aunt woke up to find her gone, and had to drag her back out after finally spotting her under the bed. So dun play-play with her awesome 'sleep-travelling' abilities. =_="

On the other hand, if I'm not sleeping with her and having to fend off her flailing arms & legs, she, when asleep, can offer some interesting sights/poses. She does it all herself, mind you. No arranging limbs or anything on my part.

Closeup. She looks real comfy eh?

I'm sorry for the blurriness; I was laughing. This pose took place a few minutes after the first one.

Damn stylish sleeping pose there...

HAH. This is proof of her 'travelling' abilities. Note the faraway pillow...

There was another funny pose but I didn't snap a shot of it. It looked like she was worshippping some god for something... or like an upright, curled up prawn. =_=

Anyways, I will stand clear and in awe of her abilities. I wonder sometimes 'where' does she 'go' in her dreams that inspire such poses?

1st pose : modelling for a photoshoot? =_="

2nd pose : the ruler of some land? sitting on her throne?? on Narnia's?!? O.O looks like an evil monarch though...

3rd pose : ... your guess is as good as mine...

All I can say is; sleeping with a Sleep Traveller is never boring. =)
