Entry: Today I woke up at 6+am because the Boy burst out laughing after catching me SMILING BROADLY while sleeping. Saturday



Ok ok, it's 7.25am now.
Why the hell am I up so early right?
Refer to Title of post.

Well, last night, the Boy K.O-ed at 10.15pm.
10.15 la machaaaa!
He just simply.... 'died-ed'.
So, still unable to sleep yet, (can you blame me when I normally sleep around 12.30 - 1am?!) I continued reading my book.

Wally Lamb's I Know This Much is True is truly engaging and hell, sometimes while reading, I'd burst out laughing because Wally's sense of humor is simply amazing.
Story revolves around Dominick and Thomas, whom are both twins.
Thomas, being the schizophrenic twin, cut off one of his hands in hopes that the war in Kuwait would stop.
And Dominick... is simply being Dominick, how Wally depicts his character is just way too hilarious.
Please get the book.

Eversince last time, I hold a special interest and passion for stories with characters suffering from Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD) and Schizophrenia.
No, this book doesn't really focus on Thomas' schizophrenic condition.
So please don't misunderstand that this is one of those psychology thriller books.

Mary Higgins Clark's All Around the Town is one classic novel that I still remember up till now.
I read this book wayyyy back, when I was in my teens.
It touches on the life of Laurie Kenyon, a child, who suffers from MPD eversince she was kidnapped and abused by a creepy couple.
Laurie develops MPD eversince then and that sickness follows her through up till adulthood.
I won't go raving how truly engaging that book was when I first read it (finished it in a few hours, skipped lunch and almost skipped dinner Tongue) because you have to read it yourself, really.
Watch out for the ending. IT TOTALLY BLEW ME OFF!
I remembered staring at the last page, not knowing how to react.
Got totally caught off guarded.

And there's also Sidney Sheldon's Tell Me Your Dreams.
Not really one of my fav authors but this book is worth mentioning.
Another great story depicting the life of a MPD patient.

I shall dedicate a separate post on Multiple Personality Disorder and you'd understand why am I so intrigued by it.
For now, just read it here

On a different note, remember how I bitched about this hotel in Taiwan that screwed up my bookings?
I removed the post la... too much negative vibe in it Tongue
Ok, then as I moved on to another hotel and was about to book, the Screwed Up Hotel called me back, apologizing profusely and told me there were 2 rooms available.
So my boss and guests are currently staying there.
From RM500++ a night (the available hotel that I was about to book) being reduced to RM230++ a night - money well saved I'd say! Tongue
So, always remember, if you know you're right, just screw away!
I did and I got cheaper rooms for the boss Tongue

Ok, I must go now.
The Boy has been pestering for breakfast eversince Ice Age.
Ciao ciao!
Have a GREAT WEEKEND!
