my entire 6 hour + plane ride came to a culmination of vampires, werewolves & forbidden love. yes, instead of my usual diet - cosmopolitan, SHOP and celebrity gossip magazines, i decided to pick up stephanie meyer's critically acclaimed saga "twilight". (and NO, she will never be the next j.k. rowling.. sorry, just had to get this in here somehow.) i have to say, despite all the mixed reviews online, i would go as far as to say i fell for 'twilight'. it's that bad of an infatuation that i even have a song that i listen to every time i get to scenes of edward & bella. exactly as a friend of mine mentioned, it is very much a reminiscent drive down memory lane to books my 14/16 year old self read. it's been a while and i must say, it felt nice. and as silly as this sounds, i appreciated the fact that the book could paint me the familiar feelings of 'young love' again. the naivety, the stubborness, the eargerness, the 'i-don't-care-if-the-world-is-against-me,-i-love-him-and-i-would-do-ANYTHING-for-him, he-is-the-reason-i-breathe'. so, next thing i did?
... bought 'new moon'. the verdict: i wasn't too fond of it. in fact, 1/2 of the book became a wee bit tiresome to read. maybe i was biased, considering edward pretty much disappeared 3/4 off the pages of the book. i don't know. i was on the verge of regretting having purchase new moon, thinking perhaps i should have left at my most satisfied- 'twilight'.
... but damn you, curiosity. next thing i knew i was googling the saga's ending. i was again.. left satisfied. well, i will say this: i will be completing my saga collection. one way or another, that is, because damn you, bookstores here in KK for being incompetent at restocking popular collections. how is that possible? sigh. i should probably blame myself for being joining the twilight scene a tad bit late. everyone i asked merely responded plainly, "wasn't that last year?"
fine.
oh, and happy chinese new year :)
