Are u lost?

I know it's weird but getting the news first thing today when i woke up marred my spirits. I feel kinda.. lost. hm. not that I know what songs there were in the best-seller Thriller, but i know a few lyrics of Heal The World, okay.

We all grew up in his era. He is a pervasive culture. Just like MacD.

if u wake up 1 day with news that MacD has gone bankrupt, and closed down overnight, taking away all the secret-reciped french fries and nuggets, how'd u feel?

Lost, right? Ya lor..

From Dusk til Dawn

It has been a tumultuous journey with Edward and Bella.

From Twilight to New Moon to Eclipse to Breaking Dawn. It does help tremendously my imagination fitting the images of the beautiful on-screen leads with those in my books, especially - as if timed perfectly - I saw the poster for New Moon the week I began the book on this 2nd installment of the series outside Lido. And I visit Orchard perhaps 3 times a year. Or lesser.

I started to wonder how long more the story can have my attention as I ventured into the 2nd book. The focal injection of Jacob Black ( the name always reminds me of Joe Black dunno why ), whose on-screen persona I had imagined can be more delicious (contrary to reviews), had certainly upped the entertainment value of the series.

Like the usual story-telling gimmicks, New Moon was a tad boring as compared to the other 3. It was meant to be a build up. Think Harry Potter episode 4.

But once you get through it, expect a whirlwind.

Bella continuous humanly cockups get you frustrated. Her discovery of the love for Jacob makes you perplexed. The involvement of the Volturi sends chills down your spine. The reveal of Alice’s, Jasper’s and Rosalie’s backgrounds opens your eyes. The relentless pursuit from Victoria causes u anxiety.

And then, the annihilation of Victoria brings relief. The warming up of Rosalie to Bella stirred feelings of affection. The engagement of Edward and Bella sends love.

Reading becomes unstoppable.

You want to know whether Jacob gets unrequited love (even tho u know the answer in your heart). You want to know whether Bella becomes a vampire (even tho it’s obvious the direction towards the middle of the 4th book). You want to know if the baby gets birthed (even tho you bite your teeth and shake your head on the torture Bella went through). You want to know whether the Volturi gets defeated (even when you had caught a glimpse of the last chapter that says Happily Ever After).

Now I just want to see how Carlisle and Esme and Jasper and Alice and Rosalie and Emmet and Sam and Emily and Leah and Seth and Aro and Jane and Alex and Tanya and Eleazar, AND RENESMEE (whose name I’ve tried mind-mouthing it to not very good success) look like. Cant wait.
