It had been quite a few days that I wanted to write something and hadn't been able to...until today. They say good things take time. So true.
I started buying books again. Once upon a time I told myself I am never gonna buy books again, because they were mostly expensive textbooks, and it took tons of money ( well...tons to me back then) to ship them back home. By home I mean my parents' house. Now I am married and have my own house. We have TV and internet. I couldn't figure out what was missing until I started to fill it with books. Ah. That's what is missing. It almost feels like after being forced out of my comfort zone for so many years, I am back into it finally. Don't get me wrong though. I am not a book/reading fanatic. It just feels nice to see them laying every where in your own space ready to be opened.
I started reading English out loud again. OK, maybe not that loud, merely live broadcasting on Kaola FM. I guess I didn't give enough credit to the daily one hour of reading out loud during my university life until I started exploring why so many people just can't say it right. And then I started reading books out loud, initially as an example/guide, which turned into something I just do every day for fun. It is surprisingly relaxing ( it completely relieves your mind from all sorts of stress) and beneficial ( reading out loud helps me understand what I just read so much better).
I have missed me. So good to be back. :D
