Happy Days #2913728 and counting

It's been a wild week. Despite the whole whirlwind of crazy action, very stressful indeed, there have been a couple of happy days. Well, one happy day. It's suffice I guess, I mean, I made it to Friday? I went out with Jingwen and Peiling on Tuesday to watch Harry Potter, straight after the o level chinese listening paper (which was really easy!). Harry Potter was pretty good, I enjoyed it! It was a neat closure to the whole sequel. I love Harry Potter, ever since the very first movie years ago. A pity that I missed Deathly Hallows Part 1, so it took me a while to get certain parts of part2. Nevertheless, it is a great movie! A little sad that Harry Potter is now over though.

Been reading quite a lot lately. Which is a good thing, most definitely. It is nice to get this reading momentum up once again. I read Fahrenheit 451 about a week back, and that got the ball rolling. I love F451, its an amazing book. Ray Bradbury is a GENIUS, truly a huge fan of his writing now. His words are simply beautiful. Have set my mind to go and borrow a couple of his other books from the library; I wonder how long it would take for me to finally do so!

I guess all the book burning action in F451, and Montag's search for answers have inspired me to start reading regularly once again. I realise I have the tendency to think a lot after reading, especially about the themes and morals shared in the book. Take F451, it made me think a lot about our lifelong quests for answers, the abundance of knowledge and the self-imposed limitations that prevent us from getting the most out of it all. I wish I had a friend like Clarisse from F451, she sounds like a lovely character! Similarly, when I was reading Hunger Games, it incited a lot of thought about the theory of Survival of The Fittest, as well as human instincts and nature.

I like to think. I think a lot. And lately I am once again gently reminded, I like to read. How could I forget so.

I GOT AN A1 FOR MY LATEST AMATHS TEST!!!!!! I am very happy indeed! For I know, I got it based on merit and I worked super hard for it myself. Totally deserving I say hahahaha.
