The Beginning of the End
Hey everyone. Still alive. And kicking. Was stuck in a rut a few days ago when I was caught out in the cold and rain, all wet and shivering in my goretex jacket in the vehicle travelling for hours at end. But that's done and over with. Will be embarking on another similar journey tomorrow so wish me luck. Hope the weather's on our side this time.
The weather's here finally beginning to turn warm again. For once, it's a welcome change. Can't believe I was shivering the whole of yesterday, and the day before. That was a pretty trying time. Trying to look comfortable to others while writhing in freezing pain within.
At the moment, I'm trying to finish this blasted book called "Lolita" by Vladimir Nabokov or something like that. Love love love this book. The subject's a perverted old man who never ceases to think highly of himself and is diseased with a natural inclination towards small little girls or nymphets as he calls them. It's a fascinating read and I can never put the book down once I start reading it in my free time which is not a lot at the moment. Damn funny. The prose is excellent and the author never fails to draw your attention from the cruelty or pervertedness of the act to make it look or sound like an extremely applaudable or innocent act. The author's really damn good. Right now, I'm stuck at the part where he's thinking about killing his wife to see whether he can go further for his incestuous lust for his step-daughter. It's disgusting and revolting but I really cannot put this damn book down! :P
I'll be back in about 2 weeks and I've officially prob spent about 3 weeks already here. Things have been crazy but everything I guess has to be taken with a pinch of salt and by gritting the teeth. It's been crazy and I'm still loving every moment being here. Almost feels like home here and it's damn frightening.
Cheers from me,
Raffli.
PS: Managed to get to McDonald's a few days ago!!! And never has fillet-o-fish or french fries tasted like heaven before!!! Now I'm just waiting for my Tandoori chicken and Indian cuisine later on at Kaohsiung. :P
