The weather is better today so in the morning we bring the DVD back to the video shop, then go to our friend's house to pick feijous. Those feijous are great green fruit, nice and sweet. It is a fruit that you can enjoy before winter comes.
Dad takes the old gooseberry plant out of the vegetable garden today and we are left with heaps of gooseberry in their pods. They are nice fruit as well. I like them, but like all food, you cannot have too much.
We watch Sin City in the afternoon. It is a very graphic film, a dystopia city where wrong things happen and nobody uphold the law. There's a lot of killing. The imagery is very comic-book-like. Personally, I don't really like it. Pure, the other DVD we watched tonight, is about a young boy who helped his mum to quit her addiction. It is a very reflective movie, and more positive. I like this movie better.
Contemplating about applying for a job. It is not easy. I will think about it, then send my CV. Let them decide.

Follow the Easter Bunny to Garden State
This Easter holiday we kind of stayed in most of the time, but the time that we spent out was great. Fuzzy and I went shopping together in Chartwell Square and in The Base, the new mall that opened in the north of the city.
I saw a really pretty sweater made of mohair in Chartwell, but I didn't buy it because you can't wash it in the washing machine. It requires special care. Fuzzy bought a pair of really pretty shoes. We chose a dark blue shower curtain with water drop pattern on it. It is pretty and hanging in our bathroom right now. It can be washed (easy cleaning), it is not made of plastic, and I will try using it tonight.
We went to Burger King and both had Whopper meal there. A great dinner. We drove home and forgot to get DVDs for the rainy days, then left home again to pick them up.
This time we chose National Treasure, The Mindhunters, Garden State, Sin City, The Sisterhood of Travelling Pants, and Pure. We watched The Sisterhood of Travelling Pants yesterday. It is such a nice film! The four girls are unique in their own way, and the young girl Bailey's part is a real tear jerker.
Garden State is a beautiful film. I like the soul searching and the music. Mindhunter is quite weird, and scary at times.
I have also borrowed two books from the library to read today. It had been raining, and some people had come to check out the house next door. Wondering when they will sell and develop the small piece of paradise into another concrete monster.

Woodland Wonders preliminary days
The hot air ballon festival has started and in the morning I could hear the sound of the ballon pumping not so far above my window the day before yesterday. However, today I have only seen them flying in the sky, getting smaller and smaller in one instance and a red one taking off in a nearby park in another instance.
Walking around the block is becoming a daily exercise for me, and I have notice that the building activities around our community is blocking some drainage system. Just wish when they finish building the new houses, they will take the dirt and rubbish with them. The developers have taken away the grass, the trees, and the old houses with memories, but I try not to feel sad about these things. Just wish they will take care of the environment after they have changed it.
On a brighter note, it is near the weekend again. I plan to make the most of the ballon festival, and do more housework.

This weekend I went to watch a movie: V for Vendetta. It is a great movie, and I don't know how to describe it. The whole concept is good, and being an adaptation from a graphic novel (comic book), it is one of the good ones in 2006.
However, mood is sliding down the slope lately, possibly due to having no job and not studying. I think I feel a bit lost. Family is supporting me all the way and I have got many good advises from my parents and friends and sister. I need to get my acts together. Starting from today, I will have a more regular life and the pretend holiday is over.
Walk up the hill to the hospital close to home and down for excersise. Already feel better now! So many projects at home that can be done still.
I can learn to cook better, how to knit properly (with winter coming), read more books, and live a healthier life. All those things take the backseat if I found a job and become very busy, so I believe that in-between-job is not so bad after all.
Give myself a smiley face.

A stroll in the city
It is getting colder and colder everyday. I have started to knit again, just wish to complete a scarf before winter really sets in.
The sky is full of grey cloud right now, and before it was very stuffy and warm. What a weird weather! Just rain already.
I drove into town in the morning to do some banking and buy groceries. Delibrately parked the car very far from the bank in hope of doing some exercise, and the road is practically empty, not so much petrol fume. By the time I get to the bank, I am already saturated! Then spend a little while in the air conditioned supermarket, and take cool soy milk, tofu, and some frozen breakfast for a stroll in town.
I have read the Amelia Peabody book (Children of the Storm), and now reading Phryne (pronounced fry-knee) Fisher (Death by Water) book. Also, I have started to keep a Commonplace book, hope it will come in handy.
