I don't like it when people try to insinuate that there's something going on when there isn't. irritated.

sleepy. and have to wake up early tmr cos of family sessions. haha. my travel lust has returned though, but i suspect it's more of a result to wander off somewhere without having plans, rather than wanting to escape from something. wanna explore places more thoroughly!

okay. i think i do feel a little hesitant on travelling to Japan in a group of 3 :\
i feel like my own retreat time is kinda taken away.

recently was talking to a brother, and because long time ago (at another wedding), I've asked for updates, he shared that he does have someone in mind now. haha. and that he's going to ask her in the coming week!
quite excited for the brother (and the sister). keeping them in prayer that if this is the person and the right timing, things would go on well :)
and i guess that's one of the blessings of being in Hope, that one really does feel like one has brothers even though i may not have any in the family :) like oh... can talk about this kind of thing. or can come up to me directly and remind me not to be perfectionistic in a brotherly way. haha. appreciate it:)

lol.
recently has been sensitive to the dynamics and behaviours of the people around me.
interesting to have my observations confirmed .. again and again and again and again. 

November is busy for me because:
a) my daily work is still on-going
b) my prison casework has started (means prison visits, home visits, case meetings)
c) drama rehearsals
d) 9 hours of Japanese lessons every week (normal pre-advanced lessons + preparation for N3 exams)
e) preparation for weddings of people

I'm actually quite alright with the load of things at this moment, but am looking forward to December when my daily work and preparation for N3 will finally cease and I can have more time to do preparations for all the other areas in a more detailed manner (e.g. preparing for hen party, cleaning up my room to a certain extend, doing the preparation for drama and homework for japanese class...).
and of course, not to say that i don't miss the days when I can have time to watch movies and read books and eat sushi in a leisurely manner. haha.

tonight's a good night to listen to classicals and read Kafka on the shore :)

Agatha Christie books I've read since the last time I've updated on this (I think):
1) Nemesis - very hard book to read cos it's full of political implications. i took like a whole month of mornings to struggle through it :\
2) One, Two, Buckle my shoe
3) Ordeal by Innocence
4) Passenger to Frankfurt
5) Peril at End House
6) Sad Cypress
7) Sleeping Murder
8) Sparkling Cyanide
9) Spider's web

Reading "Taken at the Flood" now. I have 29 books to go before finishing the whole collection. haha. so far 43 have been read (woohoo!) So she's written 73 books in all. wow. that's a lot! and it's quite refreshing to read through the collection cos the style is rather different in each book. haha.

I still have lots of books left unread T_T like christian literature, haruki murakami books, borrowed books... ah.

you know you're busy when you sporadically update your blog, and only remembers that you have a blog on a slow monday morning (which is turning into the afternoon).
but even when you want to update your blog, there might not be much to update if there hasn't been enough time given to think. lol.
November is too busy. i'm missing the days I can just sit somewhere and read my books.
