I've just finished Angels and Demons. Not as good as Digital though but it's still readable and a rather good book.

My sis is reading Digital fortress too. Hah.. She said it's very addictive man.. haha surprising a barbarian like her can read that book lol.. (Oooi Can Don't tell her ah.. if she knows i kick you).. ahh well it's a good book what that's why many pple can't stop reading see??

Am reading Da Vinci's Code now.. It's Dan Brown's Blockbuster and my friend's been recommending it to me.. So err, we shall see ya? but i am still in the beginning of the book so the introductions are always rather boring, ya?

Some tips while reading Angels and Demons by Dan Brown.

1. Arm yourself with a map of Rome. (The book itself has it but it kind of irritates me just to flip it back and forth)

2. Sit in front of a computer with an internet connection. (It will be more interesting while searching and admiring the Sculptures hehe.)

3. Get a Italian Dictionary. (There are are Tonnes and tonnes of italian phrases in this book. The only phrase i know is 'figlio di putana', it's son of a bitch in italian. What can i say? That's the only thing i remembered from Massimo and gang when i was in England. hahaha)

What I listed above(only 2 though), i find rather interesting doing them while reading the book but well i am still struggling with the finishing of the book. I think i will read it again just to read and see those sculptures hehe. It's the art of ancient artists and how the author ingeniusly made them into clues in his book. It's like amazing race.

It's better to try and fail now than not to try and regret for life.

This is what my friend told me just yesterday

*sweeps off dusts*
It's been quite some time since i last updated my blog haha.. and my fans are already making a lot of noise already hahaha.. Ok la this one's for you lol *BhB*

Actually i have written an entry earlier but the blogger just crashed on my sigh so i LL have to redo another one hai...
Time really flies and i have worked in CS harbourfront for almost 3 months. Well, i must say it's a good experience working there. Get to meet people and see the ugly side of so called 'educated' people and what nots. Along with some really giam ones and so good pple over there haha..
There are people who always question me 'Why the hell are you doing in CS when i can work in an office?' sometimes i really feel like punching these pple and kick them so hard that the next person who is thinking of asking that question will feel it.
Firstly, I have made a final decision to go back to books in July (YES!! it's starting soon). so it makes totally no sense in getting a perm job and leave after just 6months. Not fair to the company who employs and trains me. when i get adjusted to the company and their policies, i have to leave.
Secondly, this i thought of it after a few unsuccessful interviews, (Yea. FAILED interviews. I am proud of it. It makes realise something though), i am learning as many things as possible in CS (stupid, some may say, but read further, it may just save your sorry ass a few years down the road lol). I am doing this just in case i totally have no decent job offers after i finish my studies i still have a path to go though not that glorious but it can still support me. And funny many pple just despise these jobs sigh and ironically, some of which are just 'O' Level fresh grad. Some pple just don't understand the position they are in. but hell i know what i am doing anyway so don't question me.
Lastly, This is just to let pple who thinks office work is better wake up. What difference does is make when you work i an office as a Data Entry clerk. You don't get to learn anything except Those MS office software which is so idiot proof now. You are just another underling there also.. now when pple say they want to work as a office clerk when he's holding an O level cert i'll just sit and laugh my head off.

Recently, I have picked up a GOOD habit of reading.. hehe.. My Proudest Moment? I just finished Digital Fortress in a week haha (sounds very bimboic, don't I?haha ) haha but that's my first ever novel ok?! except for those unfinished biographies and don't know what crap book. Now i am on another book by the same author, Dan Brown. the book's Angels and Demons. This book i took a lot longer to read because of the Facts and boring introduction but things are beginning to pick up now hehe.. After this Da Vinci's Code. hahaha.. All thanks to my song and book recommendor la hahaha introduce me to good songs and arranging the sequence of Dan's book haha.. I like those deciphering codes and stuffs hehe.. So if there's any just recommend to me. and if you have any good books (regardless of genre) pls recommend them to me.. I'd like to read more.. haha..
