thou shalt not conform when thou could blaze thy own path..
Persuasion By Jane Austen
Northanger Abbey By Jane Austen
Emma By Jane Austen
Mansfield Park By Jane Austen
Sense and Sensibility By Jane Austen
The story is about marrying the appropriate person.

To Read
Opinion:
Another messed up stories by Jane Austen. It's mostly bout having good heads when falling in love.
I'd still prefer Norah Roberts.

Pride and Prejudice By Jane Austen
A story bout how pride and prejudice can make a man's proposal gone wrong.
Finicto.
To Read
Opinion:
The story's a little messed up for me. Too many characters interwined with one another. Boring.
I saw the movie Bride and Prejudice, which is also pretty messed up for me. Hate it.
Which explains why I hate reading Jane Austen's books. Hate it hate it hate it..

Classic Stories
I've read classic stories more towards the Greek Mythology and the Brits during my free-spirited teenhood.
Hercules
King Arthur and the Round Tables
Twelfth Night
A Midsummer Night's Dream
The Tempest
King Lear
Much Ado about Nothing
Romeo and Juliet
Hamlet
Macbeth
The Merchant of Venice
The Taming of the Shrew
Othello
All's Well That Ends Well
Unfortunately I was never a fan of Jane Austen's works.
I really need to polish up on my classics.
Will upload the story and their summary and my opinions of em.
Cheerios.

The Three Pigs
My sis asked me the other day about the story of the three pigs.
And for the life of me, I could only remember two of the houses built!!!
Oh, such classic amnesia for such classic story.
First pig made a house outta straw, and the big bad wolf huff and puff it away. So he went to the second pig's house.
Second pig made a house outta sticks, and the big bad wolf huff and puff it away again. So they went to the third pig's house.
Third pig was industrious and made a house outta bricks, the big bad wolf couldnt huff nor puff it away.
So the wolf tried the chimney and fell into a heated cauldron, thinking the pig was trying to eat him, the wolf fled and was never seen near the pigs again.
The moral of the story is..erm..do read em yourself. *sigh.

2008
Looking back at all my blog links, I've kept this blogsite for more than 2 yrs.
Wow, a feat considering I'm never much for commitment (another nagging issues from family).
So, wat do I hav for year 2008?
APlenty.
But aint sure gonna realised all of it, last year's been a drag, didnt realised much cos was bz finding excuses for other pending stuff.
This year, I'll try to find more time for personal hobbies.
There's some empty walls at home, I might zooz em up with some colors.
Also been aiming to do some wall murals, the design's been sitting in my head for months, and I still havent decided. *sigh..the curse of being a pisces.
Saw the Brattby cabinet with one shelf holding all my empty bottles. Also sis been asking for favor to paint some shirts.
Now that I've got coffee table and dining table, I want to buy some glass containers for the flowers or other colorful home accessories. Still thinking.
I know I know, I think a lot, but once I'm gonna do it, I wun hold back. So, let me think to my heart's content.
2008, will be a year for self-discovery, more towards the creative realm.

Thursday Morning
Yesterday was Thursday. It was holiday in Malaysia.
I was so excited the previous day that I couldnt sleep, cos I was thinking of the many cleaning ups I can do.
Yes, I've finally gone insane, overboard with cleaning. No, you nincompoop. I just procrastinated on loads of cleaning up, thus it's a good day to catch up (also to shut off sister's nagging).
So on wed nite, I did 3 laundries, cleaned the room while sis slept, till 4-5am, while watching The Mummy.
Partly also my mind was clouded by smtg n my brain wouldnt shut down. Like tat guy I used to hav a crush on, well, a friend showed me his latest photo (one photo) and I was back to highschool. Darn..*knock-head-over-imaginary-wall
Next morn, I went w sis to morning market to buy some vege and meat produce, and off we go to IKEA to get that Brattby I've been aiming.
IKEA was jam, sis went to the hotdog counter to get that dog I wanted, while I went to get that bookcase (asked an employee to drag the box towards the trolley, he was smiling when he saw me asking cos I was female and alone, perhaps thinking how the heck I'm gonna drag it to watever transport I was riding that day) and paid.
The cashier counter was a drag, the lane was extremely slow. I saw the lane next to me, feeling cranky cos I didnt get enuf sleep and I was hoping to get home by now, who knows everybody wanted to go IKEA shopping thursday morning. Darn.
With two female loading two boxes into Kenari, not a pretty sight I must say, off we go home.
Using the trolley my mum got me 3 yrs back, we moved the shelves back to the condo.
While I was excited going thru the leaflets of how to install the bookcase, my sis busied herself with carrot cake recipe.
So I spent the whole day going thru the installation booklet, and by 2pm, I had it finished installed, all by myself.
Then when I asked my sis to help me to move the bookcase, she said, "You shuld know it's a one person's job" without even glancing at me!!!
Shit, so being less feminine and every bit as tired but still excited, I pushed the bookcase to the wall all by myself, not a light feat I might add.
So there it is, Brattyby bookcase, as storecabinets. So I put all the kitchen wares that we never use to the shelves.
Then as I cleaned up, I saw a bunch of small nails that I didnt use. And I went to the bookcase and tried shaking it a bit. It holds. So I just put away the nails and the thought of the bookcase falling flat in the future into the back of my mind.
House is looking better, but still can be improved.
Cant help thinking tat I was being feminine by reminiscing bout past crush while at the same time hammering my arse off in the most masculine manner while my sis was doing feminine chores like cooking, I'm so stereotyping right then.
Now listening to Half Life, crooning onto "cause lately, something here don't feel right, this is just a half life, don't you see i'm breaking down, is there really no escape, no escape from time of any kind"
*sigh..the mind is a mysterious little bugger.
