READ
I didn’t finish the great gatsby, didn’t like the storyline, but i certainly like his way of writing. Maybe left for another day.
Instead i finished another murakami ~ after dark. This about what happens in tokyo during the time when i suppose to sound asleep.
Storytelling take place from 3rd eye viewpoint. Music, food & heart 2 heart filled this very hour. Chapters alternate between 2 seemingly unrelated characters initially but gradually connected via series of events ~ a style which is similar to 1Q84 but of coz this is hjs earlier short stories.
Again there are some bizzare incidents which seems to pull me into the story, keep me interested to purse an ending. Unfortunately, there weren’t any ending. Perhaps that the way it was meant to be which left to readers own further exploration.
Gotta admire his attentive to details, and allow me to catch glimpse of tokyo night life which we don’t experience normally.
Having previously working in 24×7 IT i can certainly relate to sleepless frustrated deadline work which happens at some point of the book.
Again, i find his novels usually depicts thd moody, dark & at times mocking at this sick society of ours ~ something which any positive mindset fellow wouldn’t recommend u to read.
Still his story never fails to delight me. Perhaps i’m moody person, maybe living in the darkside as well & enjoying music, food, travel & slowlife.
Perhaps i’m becoming too murakami? Is that bad? Hmmmmm ………

FOOD
I’m not too sure why I get so workout when I have to pay $5.50 for a plate of hainanese chicken rice. It used to cost $4.50. Alright it’s 22% more than usual but still not a reason flare up.
I had ask for a plate for 1 pax, a “big” plate of chicken arrived. Big in the sense that it looked more than serving for a pax. Also, “Big” in the sense that I know, underneath those regular pieces of chicken are just heaps of sliced cucumbers making the serving looking misleadingly “BIG”. Still, that’s no reason to get angry.
Perhaps I was very happy that I’m getting all my daily essential much cheaper earlier. And so, perhaps, this sudden swing in price expectancy had burst my initial euphoria of happiness, sending me back to this damning reality on earth.
Inflation or no, I better get ready sooner!
p.s: Anyway I had ask them to combine them to a plate, this just cost $3.50. Of coz it comes with less cucumbers as well LOLz
