Reading too much...

A small update on life before I disappear again, for work purposes.
The past months have been a whole mess of fun. I travelled, played, travelled, tried out food and went for a job interview, played somemore, waste my days away and finally tomorrow, my work training! Okay, confession, I'm not particularly excited or anything. It helps me pass time before school starts and it gets my mom off my back. Because, money. I ought to try paying for my own tuition fees. Relying on others almost always gets you nowhere.

So... I've been reading ebooks which I've downloaded on my phone. I'm addicted to mystery, horror, action and comedy genres. The stories are awesome there. I'm sure you've heard of wattpad right? It's like a whole library collection in there. They have every genre you can think of, even recommending stories for you. It's perfect. I spend most of my time reading stuff from there.

Then, I have no idea what came to my mind when I decided to search for fanfics. Please note that the last time I read fanfics was when I was 14 or 15? It's been years. I stopped because... there's no point, and I got fed up with the bad English. I tried Chinese but it turned out that Chinese is... uh... I do read Chinese slower than English, so I got fed up with myself. But it was a pretty weird experience. I didn't know fanfics existed until a friend told me about it, so I tried it out. Hmm. It's the same as reading normal stories just that they use names of celebrities instead of fictional characters. It'll be weirder if they do something explicit and because the name used is this certain celebrity that you know of, their face will pop out in your head, and you'll just be like NO. OH NO NO NO. But mostly, it's the bad English that drove me away.

However, it did seemed like fanfics written nowadays by KIDS, have a certain quality to it. Unlike years ago where actrocious English is everywhere, I did found some stories that are just... Let's say that I sacrificed sleep in order to finish the story. It was that captivating. Mainly because it was a action and mystery genre, not some random nonsensical romance. I usually do not read angst stories, because I'm secretly a big softie. But then, wow, angst might just be my thing too. I read some that people recommended and then I found myself either in tears or punching the walls. The characters are just so pitiful, it makes me wanna cuddle them and tell them everything's okay. That kind of feelings. So painful! It makes me feel stupid crying over a few paragrahs of words. As if crying over people moving on a screen isn't silly enough.

Enough of this! I'm pretty sure everyone gets the idea that I've been reading already! Let's move on.

Oh. I have some pictures, no, actually tons of pictures from my Cameron highlands and Ipoh trip, but I'm lazy. So, let's move on again... It's in my FB. Probably.

Suddenly, my mind is blank.

...........

I'm starting work tomorrow so I should probably go iron some clothes and order more clothes online. Smart casual wear is just not my style. I think my dress sense improved but when I wear dresses, I feel too girly. When I wear pants, I feel too manly. I don't know what to do with myself. Someone help me!
