Hols..

Tuesday, May 31st, 2005

   Holidays are getting very very boring… So far, I’ve done nothing except study, sleep, watch TV, online, read books, eat and waste time. Mostly, wasting time. The only interesting company I’ve had lately compile of elves, dwarves, kings, wizards and hobbits. (Well, that is excluding the short breaks I’ve had in church, those bits were interesting.) After reading Tolkien, I am starting to despair at my own sparse vocabulary.. He is such a genius, to come up with maps, languages and whole histories. I believe that his family must have felt neglected in comparison to his writings. I think he lived his life more in Middle-earth than Planet earth. He must have spent all his waking hours dreaming, planning and plotting. He has tremendous imagination, I truly admire him. Neway, Im rambling.

   But did you know that he was friends with C.S Lewis? Good friends even. And even the great Tolkien worried over book sales when he saw how succesful his friend’s Chronicles of Narnia was. Wow. These 2 authors have my respect. But C.S Lewis catered for a different audience, on hindsight. His books were much easier to understand, written for children. Tolkien, on the other hand, was for a much more matured audience, adults/teens who were young at heart. But strangely, LoTR feels real, it doen’t feel mythical or magical. Its more grounded on reality. Definitely much more than Harry Potter Enid Blyton and whatnot.

   Haha, hope I’m not being a bore. All book and no play will make Liz a dull girl. Farewell.

Me!

   Now, this post will be all about me!!! =P Hehe, firstly, I must apologise for the negative moody first post. Sorry peeps. Okie, I woke up at 11.30am, thanks to chen yang. He called me asking me whether I was going to his party. Umm, sorry but I can’t go.. Happy birthday, neway! Hope you had a great fun party, I still owe you a bible, promise will give it to you soon. Remind me ya?

   Oh ya! I removed my braces last tuesday! Hah, isn’t that wonderful great superb news! Ehehehe, so extremely the happy to have straight teeth. But trust me, be thankful if you dun need braces cos having braces in your mouth is pure torture. Ugh, a mouthful of metal, cement, rubber and goodness knows what else.. And the pain! Ouch! And the plaster mould thing made me choke, I couldn’t breathe, felt like gagging. And plus it hurt like crap.. So, thank God its finally all over. Yippee!

   Okay, I hafta go to bed now. Parents bugging me again to go sleep again. Again. Again.

   

Birth of my Blog

Friday, May 27th, 2005

I am grieving!!!!! Being an experienced blogger (having abandoned 2 blogs), I shud have realised the dangers of reloading the danged page. My effort and my lovely masterpiece lost forever in the vast cosmic webspace. Argh, sniff….  Let me explain, having perceived that this will be my first post, I spent long minutes stringing beautiful sentences and vocab together to provide a delightful read for you. However, due to stewpid circumstances, the page reloaded and poofed the whole long 4 paragraphs gone forever. Never ever to be seen, read, or heard of again.. I am grieving deeply over my unborn post. Ugh, the wit and effort I put in all gone. Gone! Bah!

Okay, having unloaded. Lets try to smile and give you a nice happy start to my blog. So, this is my second post. Ugh.. *force a smile* *deep breath* =) Birthed 2 blogs I have, abandoned 2 blogs I have. (yes, master yoda’s influence you detect) This is my third. Lets hope and pray that this will not suffer the same fate as the other two. Or at least manage to survive longer. Please remind me to keep a featherduster handy and chase all cobwebs and spiders away. Abandon this blog I shan’t.

Et advised me to write it in Wordpad first to avoid losing the post, I tried a few lines with Microsoft Word. But its different somehow, the creative juice and inspiration wouldn’t flow. So, lets make do here. Ugh,writer’s block…….. I give up. I’ll leave the happy bubbly witty introduction to another day when I’ve ceased grieving over my poor unborn virgin post.

Thank you I must for enduring with me throughout this mainly depress(ed/ing) post. What a start…
