Hauling Sunday XXXIX

I hope everyone had a very nice week-end! Me, it was the week-end from hell :( This Wednesday, I have a 7 minutes presentation and I had to work on it the whole week-end. Even had to go to the lab, because my boss will not be in for the next two days. Ugh, nothing worst than having to go to work during the week-end, really :( As a result, not only am I tired (because I waited till the last minute to work on the presentation), but my reading has suffered greatly as well. I don't think it'll recover till after the presentation :( Luckily, beginning of the month was great.

All right, all right. The whole week-end wasn't too bad LOL. I did find a new manga that I'm really enjoying. It's called Bartender and it's about, well, a bartender LOL. Seriously, mangaka can make everything interesting. I've also started watching TVB new series, Relic of an Emissary. Yes!!! Finally some decent fighting scenes!!! It's really cool to watch, because it's really about the choreography of the moves. I wished they'd have taken out the special effects completely, but at least, they've kept it to a minimum. The costumes are okay, looks a bit too fake, and the story is quite interesting :)

What about you?

On the book buying front, I was once again a good girl. Okay, not totally true. I did only get one book...


LOL, I don't need to tell you why I got this, right? :) The only thing is I had already pre-ordered a copy online... but it didn't arrive on Tuesday and for some reasons, I was really, really, really in the mood to read Chasing Fire... so I bought a copy at the store ^_^; Yeah, I know, I have absolutely no patience... but hey, it was kind of justified, since I finish reading Chasing Fire before my pre-ordered copy arrived on Friday. In any case, I was a good girl and did go and return the pre-ordered copy...

Totally me, right? LOL. Just because I've been through all this trouble, expect my review for Chasing Fire this week! :)
