Of books, movies and .. a haircut heh

Its been 3 weeks since my op, and after endless medication and rest (here and there), I think I'm recovering quite fine. Last week was quite an eventful one for me. On Saturday, after visiting Dr. Chen, I went to Borders and bought a copy of Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child's Book of The Dead at $17.95, after trying to get the ebook to no avail (and being put on the local library's waiting list for months. Yeah, months.) Not even Benny nor Rildiz could find any proper ebook of that, only audio books. I was thrilled to find the only copy on the shelf (Borders should have an alphabetical index for their books!) and promptly completed my first reading late into the night.

Also, I pre-ordered Stephanie Meyer's Breaking Dawn, which I will collect tomorrow after work; supposedly I'll get 25% discount off the retail price if I pre-order. I can't wait! Below is the convo I had with Elodin, my old friend from EL over in the U.S:













His font is a wee bit small, sorry if you have to squint to read, basically he says Kim (his gf) is reading BD already .. and I am so awfully jealous! Dang. But no matter, tomorrow night I will be one happy fan :D

Fast forward to this week - I've been trying to get the mp3 for this particular D.Gray-man theme from Episode 93 entitled "The 14th's Song/Musician by Yumi Moitora". So far, fans are going gaga over this particular piano piece (because ITS AWESOME and it really is) and like them, I've managed to source out the MIDI files, Benny helped me with the music sheets (I haven't gotten around to tinkering on the piano yet but I will soon) and a yummy-licious pic of Kanda <3~












Whee he's alive! I know that from the manga but still .. Kanda to Lavi: "Baka-usagi!" is teh lols

Just yesterday, we had another HR outing! Who went: Jaslin, Clement, Erik, Qing Wei (Vongola), Joseph (uthinkleh), Shaun (Onggy), Spinelli, Jerry, Stephanie (Arielite), Francis (cyctoo) together with some Legends members, whose names I forgot already. Anyway, the plan was to have dinner first then watch The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor at Marina Square. But it was a Saturday, plus NDP preview was going on, so it took a while before we found seats for 18 at The Cafe Cartel. (I think the Legends people had some private agreement to wear black .. all or-lulu at their table ROFL)

I shared St. Louis Pork Ribs with Jaslin (very big portion, very value-for-money and yummy!), and the boys had some Crispy Platter or something. We wanted a waffle ice cream for dessert but were too full to eat anything more. After that, the movie .. I won't give spoilers away for those who haven't watched, but it's decent even with a tad too much CGI effects, still worth watching. But the O'Connells' speaking Chinese cannot make it and the yetis .. twas a bad idea to put it in the movie, methinks. Maybe I shall catch My Sassy Girlfriend (the U.S remake of the Korean original) and Space Chimps next, if time and my wallet permits.

And then today, cycled with my parents to Marsiling, where I had ba chor mee for breakfast before heading to the hair saloon. 5 hours later, I emerged from the saloon with a 'soft' rebond done and my hair neater .. but I think the time was worth it, because Lily, the hairdresser who attended to me was very detailed and she really did a great job with my hair.

Phew, lengthy blog post. Off for a nap before dinner and CW at 8pm. Ciao~
