New BFF

One word - Lazy.

What have I done? What have I been doing all these months and being so lazy to update our blog.


Well, I just don't feel like blogging. Have been just being with myself a lot. Hm... may be too much. Yes, being with myself but no one else (of course except my husband. We still try to keep our schedule to meet every other weekend. Either I fly or he comes). I didn't see any friends or relatives. Just wanna go home straight after work or stay home alone on weekend. O, but I found a new friend...

Now I found out when a person HAD to BE alone, with nothing particular to be busy with (another word - no goal to pursue. Unlike when I was immersed in our wedding planning. Woke up every morning with only one word "wedding" in my mind), one would discover something new that he/she had never realized such thing could be so interesting before. In the past few months, I had finished the Twilight saga (yes, all four books in the series. And yes, I am now a fan of Robert Pattison. Oh, should I claim myself fan of Edward Cullen instead? Will that sound less crazy?). I had also read Wuthering Heights as well as Revolutionary Road. These two books were both finished in one weekend respectively. I kept reading and reading. Suddenly realized there were too many books I could read. Too much to finish in one's life.

I never like reading. Before the last few months, reading was like a task to me. Basically I read because I had to. Usually for school or exam. When I was still a student, I didn't find reading a hobby like lots of other people did. School had already given me too much to study. I rarely picked up a book unrelated to school. Time didn't give me a chance to taste the fun of reading.

Now I found it an enlightenment. Besides pets which are the general options, I think books are another dependable form of companions to humans. There's a lot of time in a person's life when he/she has to be alone. When it comes to a point that loneliness hits the bottom, and there's no power to turn on your computer/TV/video game......books may be your true friends.
