Finally.

After spending all those back-breaking hours sitting in front of my monitor over the weekend, ignoring all other temptations of surfing, blogging, MSNing….

…. I finally finished Eclipse and Breaking Dawn in one single breath.

I struggled with Eclipse, as much as I preferred it over New Moon, and I fell asleep again half way through(despite the 14 hours of sleep), and clocking a 2-hour nap along the way.

It was dark when I woke up, in front of the monitor, and I stayed in the same position, with my right hand out-stretched for the only movement I allowed throughout the weekend – Pressing the Page Down key.

I was finally done with Eclipse at midnight, and immediately started with Breaking Dawn(no stocks in the bookstores, so.. ebook again!) with a pending migraine. It was almost breaking dawn when I was finally done with reading, and gave my back a rest.

I like Breaking Dawn, and the 3rd and 4th book are perhaps better than the past 2 books, cos Bella’s clumsiness and stubbornness annoys me no end, and Jacob’s immaturity and emotional manipulativeness pissed me off. And what the hell is wrong with Edward’s intensity?!

Maybe auntie Ting doesn’t believe in fairytales. And when the book finally ended… I was actually hooked cos of all the angst that makes me feel like snarling and growling at everyone.

I guess I found the main draw of the book for me.

I could so imagine myself narrowing my eyes, baring my teeth, seething and letting that one little hiss escape when someone tip my piss-o-meter.

Anyway. It has been a long while since I last stayed up so late without the incentive of mahjong. Impressive!

I woke up at 1pm today and shifted a few inches to right before my monitor again. No surprises that I sat there, did my usual surfing, before I sat through to the end of the book, and headed out for my gathering.

I had 2 scorpions and some ants on top of the “Lo Hei” for dinner, and that is another story all together.

I think the flu is healing, so is the stomach flu. I had lemon juice, red chilli, lotsa meat, chocolate cake, peanut butter, peanuts, creamy stuff, plenty of chinese tea, vinegar and blarblarblar in a single day. I ate like I have been starved for eons.

Of course, I wouldn’t know until tomorrow… if I have been truly, absolutely healed.

For one, I am finally off medication today, and that is off to a good start to my resolution for 2009!

Now.. I wonder what should my next read be. Hmm….
