a fine day

so friday finally came and work became easier and faster. Time passes faster too. Little samples. And just like every other fridays, we went further to eat lunch as we have like 2 hours break. So went to McD one station away from our workplace, using the LRT, at PWTC. ( don't ask what it stands for as I never knew and didn't bother either). So let's just leave it at that.

Today, I finished my book! John Grisham's ' A Time to Kill'. As expected, the case was won, but with much hardship and lots of patience. I felt the beginning till around the middle of the book was a bit draggy (couldn't blame him since it was his first book, as mentioned in the Author's Note) and he was just writing for fun, then. But it got better when the court began and there were countless confrontations during court sessions between the defendant and the plaintiff. I knew the main character was going to win the case, what I am curious and what prompted me to purchase the book was how was he going to win it? And I wasn't disappointed. I'm glad the author didn't make the main character a full head strong guy with confidence. Instead, he made him as vulnerable and real as a person who's trying to win the case and save his client from the gas chamber. And it was fun how the friends around him were not perfect either. His boss was a drunkard, another friend always with a huge appetite and was always getting on his nerves with his never ending bullshit (he was divorced 4 times xD).

Anyways, 30 bucks was worth it I guess. It's a good read. And I bought another book, Danielle Steel's Changes for only RM15 at this bookstore in PWTC. Seriously, I think it's cheap! You'll only see novels like these for sale at MPH, Kinokuniya or Borders for over RM25, at least RM30 i think. So it's worth buying i think. The only thing that I felt a bit sad was not being able to get the Archie's comics. They were sold for like RM12.90 EACH...that's expensive. but they bring so much memories! I remember reading them and addicted to them last time! we got quite a lot actually. I think they're still in my room, chucked safely somewhere. They were entertaining, just like the Shin Chan comics. xDDD

This weekend, we have no plan to go anywhere. There's no movie to watch, at least nothing good. I don't wanna watch Nightmare at the Museum 2. According to a friend, the first one was a flop.

Thus, it will just be a quiet and peaceful weekend at home. Oh I started watching Shiroi Haru, I think I will continue this series. Abe Hiroshi never disappoints me before. But line's really slow these days. ah, we'll see how it goes.
