I realised that if you stayed home the entire day, there are only two things you can do. It's either you're mugging or doing something totally unproductive. I think I achieved the latter today by picking up a novel to read, and actually completing it which is something I haven't done in over 8 years.

It was, gratifying I have to say. Like the sense of satisfaction when you finish your homework, just that this one has a ton of visualisation and emotions involved. Oh and for a book that appeared to be unwanted by its owner (yes, I found it), it had quite an engaging plot and chain of events. It brought out some aspects of teenage life or life in general, with a tinch of philosophy as the story went on. Kinda brought back memories of our dreaded TOK lessons. The ending was rather good, because firstly, it wasn't a cliff hanger and secondly, it wasn't a cliche ending. I found it just right, not too abrupt and not to idealistic nor was it the lived-happily-ever-after ending. Simple, reflective, refreshing, nice.

Then again, maybe I found it a refreshing novel because I haven't been reading much, which really is an understatement. As a lit student I should be reading like what, ten to twelve books in a year. The last book I actually completed was Harry Potter, which was in primary 5..

Anyway, last paper of prelims coming up on tuesday! Lost a little bit of steam along the way, and since there's a five day interval from the previous paper to the next, the drive to study seems to have been lost.

Online mahjong on viwawa has taken up much of my time this weekend. Which reminds me, I'm off to play mahjong, bye.
