"Waking up begins with saying am and now. That which has awoken then lies for a while staring up at the ceiling and down into itself until it has recognised I, and therefore deduced I am, I am now. Here comes next, and is at least negatively reassuring; because here, this morning, is where it had expected to find itself; what's called at home."
That is the first starting paragraph in Christopher Isherwood's novel - A Single Man. Upon reading that, it immediately made me want to buy this book. I have read a couple of pages now and I think the author was simply ingenious in his way of prose writing. And what's more? The movie adapted from the book, directed by Tom Ford is going to be released soon in cinemas here. I can't wait to watch it! I heard rave reviews of the movie, and definitely think it is going to be good. Then again, I hope to finish the book first before I go watch the movie.
Here's the trailer:
Yesterday, after tuition in the morning, met Daniel for lunch at jp. It has been one of our routine meet-ups on Sundays, though not every Sunday. Had lunch at Pizza Hut. Ordered so many chicken meat. Haha.
Roasted chicken salad plus chicken soup plus chicken wings plus cheesy mushroom baked pasta with roasted chicken!
The cheesy mushroom pasta I had. Quite yummy!
Yeah, we had 10 drumlets in all. Nice!
Due to Daniel's lack of adjusting skills to this photograph when it was taken, the salad looked too bright to be eaten. Lol.
I guess Sundays for me are usually one of the most busiest days in the week. First of all, it is usually jam-packed with tuitions. Sometimes up to four tuitions! But in between, I like to take breaks and go to JP to relax and unwind. Sometimes I will have lunch with family. Other times, I'm usually with a friend or alone.
Looking at my schedule now, I seem to be really busy. Juggling with work, tuition and the school assignments that kept pouring in, it tends to get a bit stressful.
Luckily for me, dearie has been very supportive of me. Now that she's busy with her examination preparation, we meet lesser. Jiayou ya, dearie bun. Let's look forward to our holidays at Phuket in April!
Phew. I definitely need to unwind.
