ok, forgive me for my piece of crap that nite. i was reading hard times, this novel by charles dickens and i was so inspired by the language used in the book that i began to be flowery with my words, oh what a failure! ok so it wasn't exactly that bad, but still, man what happened to my la's and ha's and wah lau ehs. haha.. why do i write something that even i, when i read back..dont hell understand what crap im talking about. its really funny actually, to be so contradicting in my writing. not really contradicting, more like an attempt to sound realistically charming, and i.. couldnt carry it out! :p

anyway the novel really is a good book, boring and tedious to read as it may seem, it actually has a substantial plot that creates little sub-plots along the way and somehow or another finds its way back to the orginal plot! get what i mean? its details are so intricate that even an ant on its way home to an ant hill would be so gloriously described! the way dickens plays with his choice and use of language is interesting, choosing to make use of accents and actually writing it out in an authentic way, which makes the story an interesting read! the first part and the introduction may kill u for awhile becos it is oh-so-boring, too many facts, too many details, but as the story slowly unravels itself mysteriously, u begin to see the importance of the first few boring chapters!

i have no idea why im writing about this but i was just so terribly impressed with the language used in the book that i read the last few chapters over and over again, while simultaneously replaying each scene in my head, creating the characters in my mind.. so refreshing! i can hardly wait to start on Jane Austen's sense and sensibility as she is sensationalised as being a true-blue thought-provoking writer! and her language i bet will be equally up to standard! time to take writing classes!! hehe.. oh now i so want to be a writer!! yay!! :p haha cannot make it ah! :)
