In The Midst Of Rest

It's a one week break.Thank God for one week breaks.If they didn't exist, I probably wouldn't exist as well.Soooooo................
This is good, all my friends and I are home with the family, and our agenda is mostly the same:-
1. Eat a lot(of stuff that don't remind you of cafeteria food)
2.Sleep a lot
3.Be happy

My list would include also the following:-
1.Shop till I drop for Chinese new year clothes.
2.Watch plenty of VCDs
3.Read a lot of good story books borrowed from library
4.Go to bank.
5.Play computer games
Generally, my list includes stuff that don't require a lot of brains.However, I did help my brother Sam with add math homework just now, wonder if that counts against me.
Talking about shopping,
It's so terribly hard to get decent clothes nowadays.I scoured the whole of Mahkota Parade yesterday, and only managed to find one blouse.Everything is either too revealing or too 'old' looking.Wazzup with fashion? most of everything I saw either has plunging neckline, too little cloth, too transparent , etc. It seems that the theme this season is " Let's -just-cover-the-essential-parts".*exasperated moan*
Currently, to kill time, I'm reading this book called 'Scarlett' which is the (not too good) sequel to 'Gone with The Wind'.You see, Margaret Mitchell wrote GwTW, but died soon after ,so the (pumpkin headed) members of the Margaret Mitchell foundation hired another lady to write the sequel, which I now(hesitantly) read.the review can be given in the form of a make believe dialogue between the lead characters:-(Note: All conversation in Southern American accent)

Scarlett: Oh,Rhett
R. Butler: Oh' Scarlett, we meet again, in this horrible sequel.
Scarlett: oh,Rhett, the horror, the horror.. why couldn't they just leave us alone?
R. Butler: Darling, can't you see...... they did it for the money
Scarlett: Oh.. those heartless fools.They've killed off some favourite characters
Mammy: Like me.
Scarlett: Oh. Mammy, what are we to do?
Mammy: Nu'thin miz Scarlett.The public ain't no airheads.T'hey gonna figure dis out,and this dumb sequel ain't gonna see the light of day.

Note: Ze author iz an advocate of ze thing called Free Speech.
