Appreciation For Writers....

I just finished some net surfing.. And I just found out that my favourite author :
Robert Jordan, or his real name James Oliver Rigney Jr. has actually passed away during the year 2007..

Now I was actually quite shocked to learn that.. Very shocked.. You can say that his Wheel of Time Series means to me what Harry Potter Series means to some... A lot... Maybe a lot more even. Given the choice of picking between Harry Potter and The Wheel of Time Series, without a doubt I'd say I pick The Wheel of Time over Harry Potter... That is not to say I dislike Harry Potter.. I like Harry Potter.. But that is just my way of conveying my sense of which stands higher in my regard...

I was quite relieved to learn that another writer would be taking the reins of the Wheel of Time Series... "Why?" You ask?? Simple... The Wheel of Time Series isn't complete yet.. Far from it... As no doubt any avid follower would attest from the storyline... It seems that the new writer was chosen by former author's widow... That would lend some weight to his credibility.. Most widows would like to honour their late husband's or wife's greatest endeavour... As for me, I can't give any comments due to the lack of reading materiel on the new author's writings.. Maybe I'll give his novels a try if he do justice to Robert Jordan's endeavour..

Anyway, I just surfed his blog to check out his take on his newest endeavour... And seriously, I was humbled by the amount of effort expended on books.... Be they writing or publishing... I never thought about the effort needed to put a single book on the bookshelf of a bookstore.. And I doubt most you did either... Seriously, the new author is already burdened with his own books.. And to think that he was nervous of the reactions of fans of the series towards his decision regarding the remaining books.. as for me, this is what I have to say towards him...

BRANDON SANDERSON, REGARDLESS OF OTHER FANS, ONE FAN HERE SUPPORTS YOUR EFFORTS AND THANKS YOU FOR IT....

This series was one of the series that defined my life n reading habits.. This series was the catalyst that helped me develop my speed reading skills, n by extension, my fast typing skills... So having someone complete it, I'd say is as big a boon I could have, especially since I've been waiting for some news about it for quite some time now....

Thats all for now...

Awake...

I awoke at the crack of dawn...
My conciousness flit in and out of me...
I can feel my body struggling to master itself...
Yet, I finally succumb back to false death...

I awoke at the first ray of sunlight on my face...
My spirit clamors for me to welcome it back...
I can feel my limbs pulsing with life...
Yet, sleep claims me for its slumbering domain...

I awoke at the first pound of bell...
My mind screaming at me to awake...
I can feel awareness seeping through...
Yet, a stupor overcomes me again...

I awoke at the first slam of the door...
My friends hurrying to prepare...
I can feel the inevitability of a new day...
And now, I am finally awake....

A New Beginning

hmmm.... Today I'm at the library of Politeknik Sultan Idris Shah @ Poli Sabak Bernam.

Right now, my morning classes was cancelled due to d lecturer having a workshop or sumthin...
So went fo breakfast n a bit of loafing around...
After dat, decided to come to d library n register as members... and also use some internet...


Zzzzz....
The wi-fi service here is quite limited.. Therefore, I can't use it... Mine being a pc n all... Heavy man..... Lousy.... If I need an anti-virus update, god knows how I'm going to get it.... Zzzzzz.... My friends who have laptops can rest easy, but not me, oh no.... zzzzzz


Anyway, d first few days here are quite normal.... Relaxed even... But then, thats without the assignments.... Let those roll in and its a joy park ride I'll bet....

Hmmmm.... Sometimes I think about what a waste I've committed.... If not, likely right I'd be waiting for my final sem to finish n study.... Or even working already.... If not attending interviews....

But then, water under the bridge.... It's all passed.... I can no more regret that than I can regret that all d good people in d world died early...... What I can do is to move on... And catch up with others in my life....

That is the best recourse available to me now...
The best and ONLY recourse.... I have to do this... I must do this... I want to do this....
And I pray My efforts this time are a lot more than half baked...
May god help us all.................
