3 more books.

david gemmell's quest for lost heroes, and waylander
michael crichton Next.
david gemmell's books has a lot of old men and dying old men who were or are legends in the land of nadir, drenai or somewhat.
after i've read like 3-5 books of his. it has some certain similiarities. but then again . it's what keeps me spellbound to what he wrote.
it's inexplicably linked to the previous books but then it can be read on its own. so no biggie. but it would be nice to follow the storyline and the timeline on the novels.
can't give away much because what can i say... it's brilliant ! :P

crichton's next. read it yesterday. i thought it was gonna be something nice. but this book had some different ways of bringing the stories across.
it had like printed excerpts of newspaper, magazine clippings(fictional ? ) in the book.
and as well this one had a whole series of different storylines which combines to 1 singular ending which inevitably makes it interesting.
i find this book quite similiar to the discovery channel's 2057. it talks about the future of genes.
how they get patented and how it would affect our lives in the future.
humm... it's not as engrossing as i thought it would be.. too little action ..i think. my personal opinion it's almost too close to the truth.
but then again .. who knows what experiments run without the knowledge of the general public.

bah humbugs..
okays enough of book synopsis.
i packed.. and i found that i could only fill 1/4 of the backpack. LOL
fingers cross nobody looks at me funny.

today tube strike means i'll see alot of ppl walking home today or the buses will be full.
and it's gonna end at 6th of sept. hopefully everything goes back to normal though after that.

i cooked rendang and daging taucu yesterday. gonna last me for this whole week. yummy. i feel fat. again .

today will be a bit earlier as i hvae something to say

. last nite went back. threw the rubbish outside the flat. i think the collectors come at about 8pm-ish. and was trying to think of what to cook. i contemplated against making fish fingers with salad. but it turned out my fridge died again.. i dun understand it.. it just turns off. grumbles. and then my salad went bad. so there's no salad to be eaten. and then i thought wth, lets cook spaghetti, then i washed the pot. and then suddenly realized that it was awfully quiet, and the water was running cold. GAH!! the heater was not working. and that would mean we ran out of gas. and the feller who tops up the gas ( we use a gas card) not in. so cannot cook anything. then i was thinking should i go out and buy food. then i remembered that i havent had rice in AGES. so out came the steamer. and + 4 eggs + canned tuna + half a can of corn. steamed rice + steamed eggs + the rest of them. finished it off. phew.. i wouldnt hvae cooked rice if there was gas. bah i guess it worked out all good...
