<3 My Sweet Escape...

I spend so much money on movies. The funny thing is, I can't seem to remember what the movie is about after I step out of the cinema (ok maybe that's an exaggeration but you get the picture). Sometimes I can't even remember if I've watched the movie or not (but that's after some time). So why do I do it? Why do I spend so much on movie tickets?

Because it's my sweet escape. For 1.5 hours I completely lose myself, I am completely immersed in the movie. I can forget about assignments, deadlines, the up-coming examinations, how lonely I am in my tiny apartment, how much I miss that little girl, everything just goes away for that short period of time.

Sara used to live vicariously through me and all my shenanigans but at the moment, both our lives are so uneventful. So now I live vicariously through the characters in the movies, I feel their pain, their excitement and their joy. I know how sad that sounds but all our lives can't be so exciting all the time right? Now is just a low for me, I'll get out of this slump soon.

I've even started reading. For all of those of know me, it's a well known fact that I was "allergic" to books. "Kimberley Ong reads one book a year" was probably an overstatement. But now, I find that I can lose myself in books too. It gives me another form of escape so I read.

I've just finished reading "Chasing Harry Winston" and "Everyone Worth Knowing" by Lauren Weisberger. I'm actually putting off reading another book because I'm afraid I won't enjoy it as much as those books. That and the fact that I probably should study.

So here I am, waiting for something/someone exciting to pop into my life and take me on a journey...


XOXO
