Come to think of it, this is the first
ever long period holiday I have after I entered college so it’s kinda awesome
:D
Anyways, I know I have neglected this
whole blog-writing task for quite some time. So I’m glad to say that I AM BACK
, people !!! But I can’t exactly promise that I’ll continue writing when
college classes start again next year…but I shall try my very best to write
some stuffs…But then again, there’s a high possibility that I won’t have
anything interesting to write about rather than attending classes LOL !
Well *cough cough* moving on, I’d like
to share with you what I want to do, what I have been doing during this holiday
season, some thoughts about it. Christmas stuffs and of course, the preparation
for next year, 2013, which I think this whole ‘’the world going to end’’ thing
is nonsense. I assure you, we’ll all have to wake up on the morning of 21
December and find ourselves and the world is still the same as yesterday when
we go to bed >.< But nevertheless, we shall just see what will happen
then. Oh yeah! They too say that the world is going to have blackout for 3
days? Well, I have no idea how to make of that, but as I said, WE SHALL WAIT
AND SEE!
Basically, what I want to do for this
holiday season are read the novels I bought, write my story, A Kingdom of Roses
( which I’d like to make it as a Christmas present ) and also poems and some
Christmas short stories like I did last year. I might also get a chance to go
for a vacation, but that is still under discussion with Mum.
So far, I have finished reading 2
fictions, The Perks of Being a Wallflower and A Time For Everything by Joycelyn
Ong!
The Perks of Being A Wallflower is a
deeply genuine and moving story about coming of age and discovery of new things
and challenges in life. It’s rather deep and thoughtful by the way the author
wrote it and the emotions and thoughts of the main character connect to the
readers in an amazing way. Everyone can relate to this one way or another. It’s
real and sincere and the fear, challenges and problems are all real. The
writing style of the author and the way the story is presented is kinda special
too. It’s presented in letters form throughout the story. Charlie writes
letters that starts with ‘Dear Friend..’ and tell the ‘Friend’ and us, the
readers, his life as being a Freshman in high school and his background,
history and mental health. I watched the movie based on this story, and it’s
beautifully done with the brilliant acting skills of Logan Lerman particularly
and of course, the awesome Emma Watson. It’s amazing how Logan acts exactly
like the way the main character, Charlie in the book would, with all the
innocence, confusion, emotions, deep and it’s just WOW. Charlie= Logan, this is
how I’d put it! Logan is just perfect, 100% perfect for this role. And for
those of you who don’t know, Logan is the one who acted as Percy Jackson in the
movie, Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. So you can imagine my excitement
when I got to know Logan is acting alongside with Emma Watson, from Harry
Potter. Oh gosh, it’s the union of two people I love from the two book series I
love!
Next up, is the story of A Time for
Everything. It’s a story about people from our 21st century travel
into another dimension, another past era, the 18-19th century and
create a wonderful tale. This is one of the stories that I’m absolutely in awe
with the plot and storyline. The storyline just blend together so smooth and
flawlessly and it all make sense in the end with all the exciting twists within
the story. The characters in the story and their relationships are beautifully connected
and everything just seems right throughout the story. And it’s equally
wonderful that the feelings that the author connects us readers to the
characters. I hereby want to say a big THANK YOU to Joycelyn Ong for writing
this story and sharing with us. And I feel honoured to be in this story! This
is definitely one of the best Christmas presents I have received!
I have 3 more books await me to flip
pages with my fingertips! 2 Percy Jackson related books and J.K Rowling’s first
adult novel, The Casual Vacancy! I can’t wait to read them!
But in the meantime, I shall continue
writing my medieval-themed story, A Kingdom of Roses! I’m actually excited to
finish this story and offer it as a Christmas present. In my opinion, this’ll
be one of the most meaningful presents one can give to their loved ones :)
Speaking of Christmas, I’ll also be
writing some Christmas poems and short stories for entertainment, but only if I
can do it, which I hope I can! I’m certainly determined to have those written
out! And well, since it’s Christmas, lets just show some Christmas spirit! I
think I’ll help to put up the Christmas tree like any other past years and go
for Christmas shopping! It’s going to be worth it because there will be huge
discounts in shopping malls, can’t wait! I do hope I’ll buy some amazing stuffs
like clothes, shoes and some necessity back home and prepare for the new school
year! And I think I’ll need to get myself a new pair of glasses…
Preparation for the new school year is
indeed an important section to do during the holidays for me. I’m not the
person who completely let loose during the holidays, but I do loose myself sometimes,
I’m certainly not that uptight, thank you very much! Now it’s always been a
tradition that I’d start revising the things I study for the new school year,
yup, you read that right! I’d revise the things I learn before and start
reading the things I’ll learn soon. I like to feel prepared and be ready at any
time when I go back to college. I don’t want to be confused about what the
lecturers said and I’d prefer to be on line with the lessons and don’t want to
be left out. This is one of the things Dad taught me. He’s the one who mould me
into this studious self and anything that have to do with books and literature.
Therefore, I’m not ready to let him down and I want him and Mum to be happy and
proud to call me their daughter and get good grades, have a bright future and
have a good job later in life.
2012 is really an amazing and memorable
year for me, all in all. It comes with hardships and bitterness, but it comes
with fantastic experiences and success as well. I’d really want to write
everything that happened to me throughout the year of 2012, but then again, I
don’t think I would though. But for the people who have gone through
everything, no matter how hard and sad or how happy and awesome it is, with me,
I hereby want to thank you for being there with me and make everything alright
again and make every wonderful moments even more amazing! I really don’t know
where I’d be if I didn’t get any of the supports, advices and just ears that
willing to listen. I feel that 2012 is a rather challenging year for me to
explore more new things and experiences. I kinda feel like Charlie in The Perks
of Being a Wallflower in some ways, but I know that he had it a lot worse than
what I have gone through, seriously. I’m grateful that I’m given this will,
faith and belief to be better and everything is alright in the end. I have
absolutely no regrets for whatever that happened because everything happens for
a reason and I shall move on and look forward to a brand new upcoming 2013!
Thank you for being you, you are always a blessing to me! Glad that you like the story ;) I love your writings as well! =)
