Eradication of those quizzes from my blog has already happened. Sorry to all who wanted them on, but I thought they are pretty ludicrous, saying that I am KIND and INTELLIGENT and God-knows-what... Well, insanity reigns. I damn nearly bought the movie 'Big Fish' at A$19.95, but stopped myself only because I'd remembered that I could borrow 3 movies for $5.85 at Video Ezy on Monday, or just simply save my money up and go back to Singapore to get all the things that are on my current wishlist. May put it up later. Why wait till December to get the things I wish for so dearly? Hmm... No. 1: The exchange rate is S$1.30 to A$1.00, so I'd be able to buy more things in Singapore than here (when did I get so intelligent?). No. 2: Books and DVDs etc are more expensive here, since Australia is at the other end of the world. No. 3: Simply put it, lack of freedom of choice. To elaborate on the 3rd point: Mom and bro's nagging about how useless books are after you've read them. Apply that to movies, and you'd get the explanation of point no. 3. That's all I guess. Wishlist (Please, do not mistake this for what I wish to get for Christmas/any day and go all the way to get it for me. I seriously don't deserve that). Books: 1: The lovely bones by Alice Sebold 2: I'm the King of the Castle by Susan Hill 3: The Zahir by Paulo Coelho (I am still thinking about this one...) 4: Sophie's World and/or Solitair Mystery, both by Jostein Gaardner (dependent on how full my pockets would be). 5: One flew over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey (once again, dependent on how rich I am) 6: Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger (3 words for this: Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps.) 7: Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell. 8: All the Dilbert books I can lay my hands on- by Scott Adams (not Scott toilet paper). 9: Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden (I may be getting this soon...) All the books done, let me go on to movies. Movies: 1: Big Fish by Tim Burton. 2: Saving Private Ryan by Steven Spielberg (now, I need some help here since it's beyond my age...) 3: Gone with the Wind by Victor Fleming, book by Margaret Mitchell (If I can get it, or to simplify it, if I can even find it... It's quite old, the movie, so I dare say it'd be quite a feat to get it...) That's all for now, and I'll be constantly looking out for more books/movies to add on. Oh yes... I missed a bookshelf for all the books coming my way. 10:08 PM
