Finished ‘Wicked’ by Gregory Maguire a bit earlier will depress me for some time to come, I’m sure >_>;

I mean, since picking this book up for the two books for HKD100 value buy at HMV, I had known the ending of the story already. Like duh who doesn’t know that Dorothy followed the yellow brick roads ended up killing the Wicked Witch of the West in The Wizard of Oz? But reading the story of The Witch as spinned by Gregory made me feel damned sad and sympathetic for her ( and yes, I’d always wondered why the hell the story is called Wizard of Oz since I was a kid since Dorothy was the one that had to do all the awful tasks. The book gave me a whole loads of other reasons to hate the Wizard now)

Which reminds me to question myself why the hell did I start playing FFVII : Crisis Core to begin with as well. For I damned well know how the story ends for SOLDIER First Class Zack Fair. ORZ I’d been stuck on the final chapter of the game since before I leave for HK and is really dilly dallying in finishing up what may be the last hour or two of the game BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT TO BE DEPRESSED.

And then I went on and read Wicked. Brilliant, just brilliant >_<

ANYWAY.

I'm back from Hong Kong since last Tuesday ( duuuuuuhhh ). The trip was fun and my darling L'Arc~en~Ciel was awesome. Pure awesome. Had a super duper long entry about the concert experience posted here if anyone is masochist enough to wade through the barrage of text diarrhea there *coughs*

Will probably post up photos from Hong Kong and Macau later but currently is too LAZY. Ta, people. I’ll probably go dig up some Terry Pratchett’s books after this to cheer myself up. I don’t think I’m in the state of mind to appreciate Tim Burton’s The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy at the moment ( another part of the bargain buy from HK. WHY YES, I BUY BOOKS FROM HK. From HMV nonetheless. Don’t judge me )
