Later, Suk Chee and Tien Pao arrived. Tien Pao has a "great" parking skills, apparently her car hit a bunch of bouganvilla bush opposite my hse. LOL..We then played mahjong. Nancy was lk winning most of the time. Lucky, we din't played with money, if not I'll be hutang keliling pinggang. Haha..Dad helped us to set up the fire and my bro help to 'cucuk' the chicken wings. My bro was with us while my parents went out to my uncle house. I couldn't believesd my bro was so helpful..lol..he reminded me of someone. I din't realised that before, maybe I'm not a good sis after all. Started barbequing at bout 8 pm. We had sausages and fish balls too. Played around for a while, but its too hot so ended up my bro helped me to grill the chicken and sausages. My friends are capable to make silly jokes even using the sausages and fish balls (who started it arr? Grace?). We joked something bout stomach.We are saying that skinny ppl have bigger stomach. Grace siad that Gylnn has a abomasum. There's joke that we called Grace "cow". Its just a joke so dont ever get angry ya! I forget how we gave her this gelaran. Note the following conversation:
Grace: "Glynn, you got an abomasum. I think you ate 4 pieces of pizza that day"
Glynn: "I'm not a cow lar,pls. I thought you suppose to be are one? haha"
Suet Huey: "I can imagining Grace regurgitating her food now"
*everyone burst into laughter*
Grace: "At least I'm are not a rabbit. If not I had to eat my faeces"
*still laughing non stop*
Wenyin: " Ei Grace, if you are a cow, then we all drinking "your milk" now"
*Laughing even louder*
Wenyin: "Breath, everyone breath!"
U see, there's a lot of joke went on yesterday (even dirty ones).Lol..Bout 9.30 pm, everyone was so damn full that we cant move at all. AND Tien Pao is still grilling chicken there with my bro. She was suppposed to grill the chicken for us to eat but we are too full, so the chicken ended up in my bro stomach. Not to forget both of them improvised some method to grill the potatoes. Haha..good job Tien Pao! We called her our big sis yesterday night cuz she has her birthday earliest. Sorry ya you have to do all the jobs! We sat around, chatting and eating some jellies and "Guai Ling Gou" both made by Suet Huey and Jia Wern. I was so stuffed up that i think I gained bout 1kg overnight. Nancy, Grace, Jia Wern and Glynn went back bout 10.15pm. Left me, Suet Huey, Suk Chee and Tien Pao continue to talk. Asked them bout their preparation for college and everything. Tien Pao an Suk Che went back bout 12 cuz Suk Che's mom called. Suet Huey's parents was downstairs talking to my parents until bout almost 1 am before they left. So, I had a good conversation with Suet Huey. It's sad to think that most friends are going apart now. After they left, I continued onlining, chatted with Yi Liang for a while. Couldn't believe he stayed up until so late which is a rare occasion. He was typing a letter..A LETTER?!! Lol..he's full of mysteries (opps..don't get angry ya!). Anyway, I respect his privacy so dint asked further bout it. I lingered bout my blog for a while, slept at about 3 am. Managed to continue the novel for 30 pages..couldnt wait for the ending.

The cover
The review:
The evolution of psychiatric treatment is explored through the intertwined lives of two 19th-century men.Faulks's epic is as daunting as the path of his main characters. Frenchman Jacques Rebiere, fascinated by science, is brother to Olivier, whose slow descent into madness from middle childhood drives Jacques's search for answers. Englishman Thomas Midwinter is desperate to escape the life planned out for him by his domineering parents. Early in their period of discovery, the two cross paths in a chance meeting precipitated by Sonia, Thomas's older sister. The men's conversation through their language barrier is the start of a long and productive partnership. Faulks (On Green Dolphin Street, 2002, etc.) takes great care in constructing his latest work to fit the narrative style of the period of which he writes. He uses lengthy scenes and a vast array of characters. Perspective shifts occasionally seem awkward: third-person narrative, letters, journal entries, first-person perspective, speeches. The story tracks the nascent profession across Europe and around the world. Each man is on an individual search for meaning, and their experiences run the gamut of dramatic moments. There are loves lost and found, career successes and failure, times of camaraderie and of estrangement. Behind the players, Faulks explores the evolution of thought about . . . thought. The time period covers the shedding of the old ways of thinking and the shift to a new respect for the power of the human mind. The change was arduous at times. The central theme for the author seems to be the delicate balance between the strength of the human spirit and the frailty of human emotion. Logic and reason will be challenged by love in all its forms. Though the work is somewhat confined by the period framework, Faulks paints a tableux of 19th-century life that is remarkably revealing.Epic in scope, this is an imaginative look at the rise of medicine for the mind.
