Midnight Marathon

Last night, me and hubby went on a marathon

to see who can last longer throughout the whole night. It was not my intention but every 15 minutes after midnight, he came to my cozy corner and exclaimed “Wow, still awake?” and smirked himself to his China History series on DVDs. Quite exasperating if you asked me…..

 

 

I was in the midst of my new book which I bought last night. Came back and started reading from 10.30pm onwards. To be frank I made a pot of hot Green Tea

and gulped down 2 mugs. There you have it, I blamed it all on the tea….What was I thinking of?? Knowing the effect of tea drinking at night….Still do it. DUH!!

 

 

Anyway, I was actually too caught up with the book and forgot about time, not to mention, hardly felt a yawn or any sign of sleepiness coming…Happily stuck in my own world until my hubby comes in with his silly grin …”Not sleeping yet?”…He is on his crazy chase with the China History DVD almost every night but he would usually conked out by 1am….Last night it seems he has some competition and as long as I can stay up all night, so can he…But I just don’t care….Finally finished the book at 3.15am. Went out of the room and kissed my hubby good night and lingered to my wonderful bed…I bet I’ll be groggy the next morning but never mind, I got to finish my book in peace…. THUMBS UP!!!

 

 

It’s been a while since I had this speed reading session. Books are my prize possessions

and once I’m on the track of a good book, there is no saying how many days I could live without food, water and sleep.

 

 

Wonder when will I be able do this again?? ….Got another 3 new books on my shelf…..I can feel it coming 

 

Shopping Spree

Haven’t been shopping for a long, long time…So 3 weeks ago, I had myself a shopping spree. There I was, in the bookstore, grinning from ear to ear, just thinking what I had in mind. It’s as if I’ve just been released from a desserted shack on an island with no shopping to do.J 

Let’s see. First, I bought 4 Winnie the Pooh Bear activity book for my little girl. Trust me, I was more excited than her…hehehheh… Then gallivanted to the adult session to get myself something humorous. Voila!! Got 2 love comedy books, Hex and Single in the City as well as The Bachelorette Party. What an imagination!! The writers had me tickled all the way. Well, if you must know, I have many books- the “SERIOUS” stuffs kind that can make many snoozed 24 hours. So, what the heck!! From now on, I’m getting books for fun reading and not too much of mind boggling. When it’s time to unwind, these are the right books for me..hahhaha.. Yeah…too much of work can cause hazard. Well, you don’t want to look 52 when you are only 25, right??

Picked the last book, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince- children’s edition. Nah, it’s not for my daughter but ME!! I need to get this into my collection before the last book is out. Imagine how much the price dropped after the first time being released into the market, about 50%. Wow!! Amazing just how much the bookstores are reaping out from us, the poor readers……

My most priceless purchase- “The Duet - Tony Bennet”. If you like jazzy classics and oldies, this CD is the most value buy. It has 20 songs, duet of Tony Bennet with the reknown singers these days on his 80th Birthday. Cool man!! Even Wang Le Hom was featured in the last song with Tony. When Le Hom sang this genre of song, it sent shivers to my spine….Really, I can feel goosebumps on my arm. Boy oh boy……Frankly speaking, he is the most gorgeous Chinese guy who can sweep any ladies off their feet with his voice and his charming smile. He smiled to me once, 7 feet away….I nearly sprouted wings and sang with the angels….

That night, I went home happily with my purchases. This was no shopping day like any other for such a long time….Hmmm…..Nice!!
