Breezy beautiful spring is here

Today is Sunday. And I get up late. It is not so late. 8.00am I guess. I manage to finish a DVD by Wong Kar Wai. It is really good movie. I intentionally am not sharing the title of the film over here. I want to keep the suspense (as if anyone cares, haha). And then, I clean up the place while listening to best of Andrea Bocelli.

By about 4.00pm, I decide to leave the house. Simply to get some fresh air. I go to the mall where I want to check out the Nikon DSLR D90 Kit camera. Wow, it would cost me around Eur1,000 to own one (Dzan, for now I will give it a pass. I will once I have a fat pay-check! But I still love taking photos!). On top of that I want one with a class to go with it. Like Dzan says, I just have that pair of eyes that will land on nice setting worth photographing. All I need is a spanking brand new advanced camera. Which, of course comes with price tag that I can't afford for now. Haha.

+ I buy the bag too, for only Eur1.75c. Not bad, ay?

+ The books that leave the bookstore with me

I hit Hughes Book-store (Luke: When I see a bookshop, I JUST HAVE TO stop. I will at least need to buy ONE book [Sorry, private joke]). Haha. Well, I buy two books. One by Aravind Adiga entitled The White Tiger and the other one, Junot Diaz's The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, which have Man Booker Prize 2008 and Pulitzer Prize respectively.

+ Isn't that nice? Pt1

+ Isn't that nice? Pt2

I pace my steps to the pier (read: ocean) immediately. I start reading The White Tiger and it is rather engaging. It reminds me of the book by Mohsin Hamid ("The Reluctant Fundamentalist"). I rather quite like it and it is very fast-paced. Hopefully I will finish that as soon as I can and I can move on to Diaz's.

+ Isn't that nice? Pt3

One of the line that's stuck in my head from Adiga's is "My whole life, I have been treated like a donkey. All I want is that one son of mine - at least one - should live like a man." Balram's dad utters this angrily to Kusum, Balram's grandmother. Anyway, that is that. I still feel the first 50 pages are very engaging.

+ Gorgeous tulips in People's Park

+ More flowers

As it is approaching dusk, I make my way home. While leaving the People's Park, I snap some pictures. Breezy beautiful spring is here. Don't you just love it?

Note: I receive a call from Frank, organizer of Squash Tourney that will take place on 25th April 09 (Saturday, next week). I agree to participate. I did really well last year. I hope I will do great this time around and able to attend the prize-giving ceremony (post tourney).
