Ba Chor mee

Been reading classics lately. Their use of language never fails to turn me into a romantic. Currently i am reading "Woman in white" by Wilkie Collins. Its like a suspenseful victorian love story. Sigh i feel for all the characters and how the author manages to portray them each with their own unique and powerful personalities. The book was written in a first person narrative and so each person has their own way of putting their words down. How the author could assume each and every person he thought of... comes down to an overactive imagination or deep down desire to be someone else. Ha, what i enjoyed was the gentlemanly ways of that period and how people choose honor and faith as the utmost importance to keep. Or should i say how authors like to portray people of that time? I would not have known. I was born too late, in a world which has done away with much of these and for the sake of convenience? i really wonder.

Just letting my thoughts wander since i could not get to sleep these few days.

Now theres a knot in my heart if i should go back home or stay in UK. Above all i miss toa payoh kuay teow.

Its an interesting time to be in!
