Now my holidays have officially started, meaning i've got nothing much important on my calender, except for a few meetings with friends, old acquaintances.

Will probably read a few novels and to study them thoroughly to understand the dynamics of their writings and creativity.

Like i always say, "you've got to start somewhere". The oft-repeated phrase of mine.

A dose of Mikhail Bulgakov. Few tablespoons of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson. Dozens of Don DeLillo. A pinch of Chuck Palahniuk. Kurt Vonnegut. Maybe a few drops of Murakami.

Dan mungkin, jika berkesempatan, "Tenggelamnya Kapal van Der Wijck" oleh HAMKA.

I really enjoyed Haruki Murakami's short story, "On seeing the 100% perfect girl one beautiful April morning."

I will be guided by "how to write and speak better" by Reader's Digest.

And i'm trying to learn Arabic slowly. It's chronically slower than a tortoise with 2 fractured legs.

[Insert my favourite quote here]

Thought of going to Kelantan, but as usual, time is of the essence here, and in this moment, time is envious of me.

Now. Hopefully i will fare better with my self working hours. More discipline.

I used to be associated with that word. But i would love to be associated with much more meaningul words.

Like, "handsome". Or "Good looking".

Ok now. Start.

The short story reminds me of a paragraph of a Thomas Ford's poem;

There is a lady sweet and kind,
Was never face so pleas'd my mind;
I did but see her passing by,
And yet I love her till I die.

(I never intended to leave a comment all this time I have been reading your blog -in fact, I couldn't remember how I got here at the first place, you're just there in my 'Favourites'- I am a random reader, just fyi.)

To peremuan beremosi tinggi, thanks a lot. i really appreciate your leaving a piece of Thomas Ford's poem in my humblog (humble-blog), a nice paragraph too i have to say.

And i'm pretty flattered to have been amongst your 'favourites'.

Thanks a lot.

And please, don't be afraid to leave comments here. I can't bite your in cyberspace. LOL

By the way, it would be interesting to read your thoughts. A blog perhaps in the future?

I do have a blog. :)

But I'm afraid it's nowhere as matured or insightful as yours. Reading blogs like yours is quite a different side of me, my friends would have laughed their asses off if they found out I quoted a Thomas Ford on a random blog.

(But then again, I'm weird like that.)

Which is why, I'd like to remain anonymous (though it's not really that hard to find my blog even when I hide it from my profile -.-').

Er, happy berkenalan (?).

Would you care to give me the address of your blog?

matured and insightful? I found that statement rather funny.

Maybe later. :)
