I hate Taxis. I hate Singapore Taxis especially. They drive like mad man, sneak around like bajaj and brake anytime like bus. Furthermore, they have this kind of smoky smell.
And I hate myself for having a very low tolerance for motion sickness, especially for Singapore taxis, I would prefer walk, bus, motorcycle and even bicycle.
Those unavoidable moments are those like midnight hours and unfamiliar places. We visited our friend for an opening ceremony in his new office and ended up taking taxi. Although I was safe from motion sickness, the ride left spooky pukey feeling whole day long.
I admit I have been waiting to watch Da Vinci Code, the tickets were sold like crazy in front of my eyes on the first opening day. The next day, since we were free, we bought a late show. It was scary, we bought the ticket for the next three hour show, in far far away unpopular theater, and yet it still ran out like hot cookies. The unfilled seats were filled the moment I chose it, so I had to change it again and again.
Anyway, imo, the movie was better than the book. Because, I didn’t really understand the book! He… I think they chose excellent casts, and Paul Bettany looks good. : )
By the way, I just want to say I was so happy that I still could catch the late night train, the last train to home.
Sunday, we did half a day spring cleaning. Took care of the gears, laundries and…books.
I can’t believe how many books I have, and how many more I want to have. But still, my favorite ones were the ones in pictures, for children, comics. Comics last forever, while novels can only be read one time, maybe two times, after a very long span. So we moved half of the book to the storeroom, the new bookrack Hubby just built few weeks ago, and another half, those comics I like to read before bedtime, between TV advertisement, when doing business in toilet… to our room, for easy access, and actually, because our original rack is over overloaded. We cleared up a whole stack of magazines, including some wedding magazines I used to refer to for my wedding gown etc. Sniff sroot.. they were bloody thick, and we threw away one Pre married book, it was a book we used when we attend pre marital course from church, the cover was a wedding picture of a couple with sixties, maybe fifties gown and hairstyle, with pinkish and purplish background, while the groom had thin scary moustache and high hair enough to hide Mickey mouse and family. So if you need some chuckle, you are welcome to see it, we still keep one.
The other half of Sunday was consists of lazying around, we don’t know where to go and we haven’t gone back to our previous life routine. We hardly touch computer at home, and we sleep nine hours a day. It was only yesterday I stayed up to twelve and realized, "Hey! Black Sky!"
