i'm up at 6.30am! on a saturday!

ok never mind that. the point of this entry was triggered by a picture of this book:

i had the most random flashback when i saw the picture on a stranger's blog.

i was of primary school age, maybe about 10 or 11? i was at the mcd's near my place eating and reading it when this lady next to me leaned over and said, she read it when she was younger and had enjoyed it too.

i think i was a bit astounded by the fact that a grown up was talking to me about books while my peers couldn't even do that. plus the fact that it was quite the random encounter made me quite happy

why can't random encounters happen more in sg? they make life much more interesting, dont you think?

anyways i feel like i should talk about the haze a little, since everyone is. sort of like a sporean blogger obligation thing to hop on the wagon and jump right in.

dont lynch me for saying this but i kinda liked it. it lent this dreary, kinda sorta romantic feel to everything it shrouded. i liked looking out my window and not being able to see the other blocks clearly. like all the hard lines of the blocks of concrete we all live in were momentarily softened.

but of course, this is just me.

the textual siege.
