So finally, I got my hands on the book, Water for Elephants. Thanks to my mom, she's willing to buy the book and let me borrow it. Well I was not supposed to buy any books as I have tons of them to finish at home plus I was on a tight budget that time. LOL. That's fine. I just need to read it that's all. And it'll be in the house so yeh.
But just when I started to read it, one guardian angel actually invited me to join her to watch the movie - for freeee! Apparently when she bought the book it was really a good bargain because that's how she got the free movie tickets, AND a discounted price for the book. It's like you buy 2 movie tickets and you'll get the book for free.
She's one lucky lass.
Anyhoo. I think the movie is a bit torturing in a way, BUT only in some tiny parts. If you know me well, and you watch the movie you'll figure out why the movie is a torture to me :P Apart from that, I just love it. Okay, NOT JUST because Robert Pattinson is adorable and awesome in that movie, and also NOT JUST because Christoph Waltz is in there, as usual taking the controversial antagonist character. I love the storyline, the settings (Its a circus people. Its always magical to me!), we can see how the circus is run, the amazing elephant, the forever graceful Reese Witherspoon who potrays the character Marlena, and of course, the guys mentioned before :P. And it made me realize on how people won't care much about other people, or other beings especially during the desperate times.
..and somehow you have to take a huge step ahead to make a change. Well that change? It gives us hope. You just have to work hard for it.
But I have to finish the book first then only compare with the whole thing :) Like Never Let Me Go? Yes I've also watched the movie finally. Apparently the movie doesn't really affects me as much as the book. I like the movie nonetheless.
Anyhoo, thanks to Yasmin for inviting me. It's like one of our long-delayed-hang outs plus farewell hang out as she's going away to Ireland to do industrial training there. How cool is that?
If you are reading this, I wanna thank you for the free passes, and your time. Its always fun to hang out with you :) and please take a good care of your self, and don't forget to have fun while you are there. Take some time to appreciate the place, the people, the thing you're doing there, basically the life you're having. Oh, and stay awesome. Can't wait to see you when you get back so we could catch up more :)

I fold the letter and think of a million and one things that I could have done different
Currently listening to Snow Patrol's Please Just Take These Photos from My Hands.
Thanks to my friend Zaty, I discovered this. Its a compilation of feelings from all around the world since 2005. I think I can spend days clicking through this thing. Somehow it makes me feel normal.
Anyway, they published a book too, looks really interesting. Well, I love coffee table books. I have one on colorsplash, and every time I go to a play/musical I'll buy the program book and put em with other coffee table books in the house. I think if I have this one would be awesome. Kinokuniya is selling them for RM120.
I'm adding this up on my wishlist (category: Books). Its an imaginary wishlist though, never wrote it down anywhere. lol.
I also want this book:
They have it on Apple iBooks but only for US market. Have to find the hard copy - Kak Nysh told me she saw a copy at MPH. Yet to pay a visit. Actually, it's been awhile since the last time I went to a bookstore. The last time was a few weeks ago (to Kinokuniya) but that is just briefly cuz I wanted to check out pricing for stuff. That is all. Didn't got the chance to sit down and cuci mata. I admit, I don't read books so much but I don't know, I just love bookstores. Especially Kinokuniya. They definitely inspire me to do a lot of things, Gave me ideas and stuff. It's also a good place to daydream you know =P
There's quite a long list of books that I'd love to buy. However I think I should be concentrating on what I have/borrowed (I notice some I just took from Adam, which belong to his friend - whoops will try my best to read them first!) and finish them all.
But the movie is coming out (for Water for Elephants)! Hurm... think, think, think *in Winnie The Pooh's tone*

Okay I read half of the books on this rack, so another half to go.
