Hello!!!
I can feel the stares of daggers on my blog now...With the kind of feeling like, why the hell did this guy not post anything up since he is so free nowadays?
Ok la...I admit I am rotting at home...but recently I've been more busy with packing my house readying for renovation ma...
But these few months have really been good for me...Everyday do nothing except facebook and reading fiction, comics etc...
And of course, commencement...
Finally a paper to proof that I have completed 4 years in NUS...
It seems like only yesterday morning when me, william and jeff went for matric fair together...
It seems like only yesterday afternoon that we passed year 1 and Kelvin joined our ranks...
It seems like only yesterday evening that we were having loads of fun during analytical lecture filming videos of 'Stabilo Boss' with yy joining our ranks...
It seems like only yesterday night that weiliang completed the sextet that is G6 today...
It seems like only today morning that I finished my last paper in year 4...
It seems like today afternoon that all of us attended commencement...
It seems like...erm...ok...I guess you get my point...
But you know what makes the countless boring lectures and projects and stressful life bearable?
G6...which really mean alot...
Graduate loh!!!!

I am really glad to have so much free time to myself because I had the time and priviledge to savour and read countless books...Which you should know by now is my favourite pasttime...Kinokuniya is like a haven to me, and I would feel upset if I did not at least buy one book everytime I am there...haha...
So if anyone of you have the free time for some light reading...here are 3 fantastic novels which I would strongly recommend...
The first is The Ninth Circle by Alex Bell...The Ninth Circle is Alex Bell's debut work and I like to read debut works because they give you an introduction on the mindset and writing style of the Author without the hindrance of commercialisation, hopefully...So that at that point you will be able to make a decision as to whether you will continue buying his books or not...The story is interesting as it dealt with religious issues ala Dan Brown in Da Vinci Code...But it is an altogether different approach and more Fantasy than Fiction...I am very impressed with the way he churns out the story line...Although I am a little disappointed with the ending but the suspense is fantastic! I will definitely support his further publications...
The second is 6 suspects by Vikas Swarup, the author of Q&A, or what is now titled, Slumdog Millionaire...6 suspects is a wonderfully crafted storyline based on 6 characters in the story and how they are all connected to each other...Wonderful plotting because the more characters you have in your story, the harder it is to weave all of them together...2 or 3 is hard enough...but 6...I am impressed...Although the twist is quite predictable...
The third one, is not a novel, but a comic titled Watchmen...I know alot of people slammed the movie and I have not watched it but I can only say the comic is very very entertaining! Most of the superheroes depicted are very human, unlike your superman, hulk etc...What makes the comiv interesting is the intense storyplot and wonderful portrayal of characters...Especially Rorschach, whom I think is my favourite...

Ok...I am blabbering nonstop now...One of the faults of mine whenever I start to blog...So its either a very long post, or a very short one...no in-between...
Before I stop writing, there is one thing that I want to say...Tevez Sucks!
