Finally!!!!U and i are back again!my dear dear blog!
...err...umm...well...i'm sorry.
Should have been more careful...err...caring.
I didn't at all want to desert you.I couldn't even if i wanted (mind i never wanted), i forgot the password.
:( yes I know! That's unpardonable.'How could i?'...indeed...i knowwww.
Let's talk about something else ,shall we?
I picked up two Enid blyton books from the BCL.:) The twins at St.clare's and The O'Sullivan twins.The connection is obvious to people who know me personally.:).
I can't remember when i last read Enid Blyton, but i remember the day i started reading Enid Blyton.The first book of the 'Malory tower' series was given to me as a prize honouring my academic excellence in class 2(biiiiig deal!!!!), and then there was no looking back.The Famous Five, The Secret Seven, The Five Find-outers and dog, The 'r as initial letter' mysteries...and the Adventures of the Wishing chair.
Ah!!Those wonderful days!The simplicity!The wide-eyed wonder!And the undying faith in magic,in beauty, in good's victory over bad.
And then those days vanished,got blown with the wind and time,but left back with me their melody and rhyme.
An attempt to recreate the magic and charm again.
Not the only reason why i picked up those books.
The children's fiction section is warm compared to the rest of the library room!gawd!!I bet u the temperature must have been near 18degree celsius.And i had to wait till 6p.m to bag a comfortable seat in my dad's chartered bus on its journey back home free from the sweaty smelly shoving crowd. And then nostalgia of course!
Alas! the cold won!drove me out exactly at 5:08,when i started shivering like a candle flame in the wind (only it trembles).
crowded bus!smelly sweaty shoving crowd!expletives! yuck!!
back to home! a shower! Good old Enid Blyton again!! after soo many years!!

Ah, the innocence and awesomely sweet storytelling of Enid Blyton!
How I miss those summer holidays when I used to stay at home and read and re-read all the Famous Five adventures.
I must admit, though, that I had a crush on George, strange as it may sound. :-)
Hm... the good old days!!!
I've since moved on, and got hooked, to Agatha Christie, though... :-P
hey! BCL never lets me take books from children's section. I know there is something called small and cute stature, and sweet and innocent expression, but there is also something called ethics
*waaaaaaaaaaahh*
aah..i still loveeeeeeee enid gal!!!.i will still grab it if ne1 gives it to me!! :P
