Short attention span (Wednesday, April 15, 2009 / 2:54 AM)
I remember my love for reading.
I love the feeling of emerging myself totally into a story. It's like watching a movie. When I watch a movie, I am super 投入 one. I would grab the chair when watching "Taken" (which by the way is awesome in my opinion). I felt so tired after that movie session as my muscles were all tensed up. I'll cry. I'll laugh so loudly, even if no one else laughs. I've ever laughed so hard that I rolled onto the cinema floor. I'm not being drama, it really happened when I watched "Welcome back Mr Macdonald", a Japanese movie. Yah, some of my friends are ashamed to watch movie with me.
But movie is not as satisfying as reading a book. It's a quick fix! It gives you all the emotion with a short plot for instant satisfaction. Reading a book is much more than that.
I used to read a lot in my anti-social days in JC. I used to read a lot under the influence of my book-loving closest friends.
But now..... I can't finish any book!!!!!!!!!
I bought at least 6 books from Taiwan. So eager to read them! But I haven't started on ANY!!! I would pick up one book and think, "hmm.... maybe I should read this other one 1st." Then if I pick the other one up, "hmmm.. this seemed a little slow, maybe I should read this other one 1st."
And it goes on....
SO, in the end, I haven't read ANY!!!
The last book that I read was during my last Taiwan trip, and that was SO LONG AGO!!!! booohoooohooo... Where has my patience gone? Why's my attention span so short now??? Nowadays, there's like a thousand and one other things to do. If I had an hour of break, there are a thousand and one things that I can fill it up with, things that I SHOULD do to improve myself as a singer or as a person. I could be practising songs, writing lyrics, blogging, practising keyboard, writing some tunes, practising or preparing for the musical, etc etc etc etc.
In view of all these other important things that I should be doing, reading seemed less important. But I really like to read! Then how?
.......
Then read la! ok, I shall try and pick up a book now. TA!
