♥ reading
Now that I am sort of packing to go back to singapore. I have started reading all the storybooks that I have brought over since the start of the year. Every time I go back to singapore, I bring back like 3 storybooks, so now I have about 9 storybooks? Finished a few last week, am now on the last book. Haha I love thriller and mystery stories!! I love reading, sad that I have not read many storybooks this year. But I am glad that my reading speed is more or less the same. I would hate it if I suddenly slowed down... Sooo, right not I like jeffrey archer, james rollin and andy mcdermott. I do not like dan brown anymore, I felt that his latest book was really boring and tedious to read.
I wonder how good authors are able to make their readers get so into their stories. Is it just some really good well-chosen words that describe the scene and what is happening, or is it having a good plot, a great storyline for the reader to delve into. It is probably a combination of both right? Plus our ability to imagine stuff. I think our imagination makes all the difference. Reading a scientific journal is in no way, in my opinion, same as reading a book like "Twilight". I could fall asleep easily, reading boring stuff like journals, while I could hardly ever fall asleep without at least completing the chapter of the storybook I am on. We probably have more to imagine when we read stories as compared to when we just read facts or reports of other people's experiments etc. So does having a good imagination mean we can get more from a storybook? I don't think so. Like I said before, the combination of good words and a great plot make up for all our lack of imagination. I am not a very creative person, so actually, my imagination kinda sucks. But when I read, I can still imagine stuff, this I would say is the skill of the author.
It is so often that we watch a movie that is based on a book and after we have watched the movie, most of the time we say, "The book was better." The stuff we make up in our minds are probably how we want the story to look like. This I would say, is undoubtedly different from person to person. Just like how no two people have the same fingerprint, I am sure you would agree that the imagination of any two people would never be absolutely identical. Hence, what we make up in our mind will never be the same as what we see on screen. So how do we make a comparison as to which is better? Well, too bad, I don't think we can. The movie was probably based on the imagination of many other people, the director, the script writer, the actors who read the script etc. In our mind, everything goes the way we want it to be, we set the standard. The movie then hardly ever lives up to the book as everything gets all muddled up by all the different ideas.
I just misplaced my storybook! Shit, gotto find it.

I've shopped all my life and still have nothing to wear.
Why is the price of designer clothing so high? Have you ever wondered how much something actually costs to make? I'm not saying that everything that has a brand name is overpriced. But for example, apparels which are of good quality would be expected to cost more and it follows that brand names sell good quality merchandise. But really, I think the price really makes a brand a brand. If brands like Salvatore Ferragamo, Marc Jacobs etc were not expensive where would they be? I doubt they would exist. Is it not true that expensive clothing from a well known designer would be viewed as superior to cheaper clothing? Knowing that the item is expensive and above the reach of others just makes the pull to buying such items so much stronger, is it all about exclusivity?This looks nice, oh wait, it's mine. Ralph Lauren leather jacket 895, Ferragamo shoes 690. Wth....
