What to update? Hmmm.
Nothing much going on, but to prevent the blog from being stagnant and breeding mosquitos, I'll make a post full of trivial stuff.
Recently, I've thought up of a phrase, "7 hours is long enough, 1 month will pass fast enough, 2 years will come soon enough". Funny how time works.
I'm not kidding when I said I'm going to Orlando, Florida, USA when I graduate from Poly. I don't know if people will take me seriously for what I say now but wait and see. Never had I been this determined to do something for myself, not even to get a higher-than-average GPA. This time, I'm perfectly serious and I've plans to show it.
Technically, it's not even 2 years because I'll graduate by Feb 2011 and there's only 18 months left. So far yet so near.
Already, I'm counting my finances but ultimately, all I can do is to earn and save. A trip to USA will be a bomb and don't even talk about the valuation and exchange rates when 2011 rolls in. My predictions is that US$ rate will go up and I deeply hope that S$ will strengthen in value by then.
One more resolution that I made today; to go for driving test in the next long holiday which is Feb 2010. By any chance, I'll get my driving license on the first attempt and will be free to drive my father's car. Oh, how I wish.
In the midst of making plans in the next 2 years to come, I've been sleeping, working, complaining, and of course, reading.
I just can't get enough of Lynn Kurland's novels! They are one the few great things that I discovered while on the hunt for good books. First is Twilight by Stephenie Meyer, second is Spirited Away by Cindy Miles, third has got to be Lynn Kurland's.
I remembered browsing at the Romance section at Borders and found one of her novels by chance. I didn't bought that title then but decided to take note of the author and searched for her books in the library. I wasn't certain if her books will be great and all.
Went to the library and only saw one the titles on the shelves. Ahh well, better than nothing. Sebsequently, I borrowed her other titles, one at a time. Frustrating but rewarding and makes things sweeter.
Then, came a time when I can't find the other titles besides the 3 I'd read. Went to Borders and Kinokuiya and ended up buying 3 titles over a period of time.
There are still many to look forward to! Recommended Stardust of Yesterday to the library and am pleased to say they took it into consideration and the title is currently in transit, whatever that means. I've already reserve it and am the first in line. Hopefully, I'll read it soon. Hahaha, what a fine chase it has been. I've checked Borders, Kinokuiya, contemplate whether to order from Amazon or Borders...
Unfortunately, the other remaining titles are not available in the library and in my school library as well. I've thought up of the what was at first a good idea I didn't consider. TP's library. Alas, there are only a few titles available and most of them I've already read.
Plan C will be to order in with the aid of Kinokuiya. At least, they don't change freight or extra costs, or so they tell me. I'm still thinking about it. If my longing gets worst, I'll do it.
For now, I'll wait impatiently for the next coveted novel: Thirteen Chances by Cindy Miles. It's really bad that people get to read it weeks ago but I'm still left hanging.
Back to Lynn Kurland's novels. Her novels are that wonderful and sweet with time travel romance! There are so many characters that inter-weave that it gives me a headache and I have to refer to the genealogy chart all the time. What made it worst is that although the books can be read independently, characters from other titles will make cameos and appearances. It's only one's nature to want to refer back to their stories and to know more than what they summarised.
As a result, I find myself borrowing the titles that I've read for a second time. Such is the workings of me. I'll need to re-read a book to check on details.
All in all, there are like 6 titles left for me to read, 1 of which I'll borrow when I go back to school, the others' futures are unknown. Possibly, I'll just go with Plan C. Makes everything easier.
It's hard to find good romance novels without all the explict "scenes". Lynn Kurland has got to be one of those rare authors who does that. Very PG rating. I highly recommended her titles, to be read in the sequence.
Gosh, I can ramble on and on about trivia.
F1 season is coming to town, yes! I may not be the greatest fan but I certainly enjoy F1 and its drivers.
