Spinach Mee

Apparently, the youth from my mum's church loved this dish. It supposedly detoxes.
The mee is made from wheat and spinach, has a fistful of spinach leaves in the dish, and the broth is made from spinach juice with too much mint. SPINACH JUICE. I abhor leafy greens (vegetables), but my mum bought the dish for me anyway. Needless to say, I didn't touch it. Neither did anyone else.

Exhibit A

Self-explanatory.

The Blind Assassin

Author : Margaret Atwood
Genre : Fiction
Pages : 538
Notes : Booker Prize 2000

The Blind Assassin is a story within a story, much like a nesting doll. There are three distinct stories, all which will late relate to each other. Summary here.

It was all good, but I have to admit that it was a weary read midway through the novel, where we have a very cynical old lady narrating about her marriage. Maybe I have had too much of a dose of strong-willed characters, which might explain why I was quite annoyed with the novel's protagonist. She seemed so complacent, leaving everything to run its course while her (evil, duh) husband & sister-in-law usurped every aspect of her life.

Needless to say, persevering through the novel had its rewards. Towards the end the paces picked up really fast, as Atwood reveals the connection between all the different story lines and presents really nice plot twists. In terms of writing, it was definitely enjoyable, Atwood's prose was what kept me reading during those dreary middle chapters.

First Post

I had a personal blog at Friendster, but since that's a networking site, and as we know networking sites get outdated very fast, I've decided to move to blogspot. Decided against combining personal blog material with my pure tech blog at n-w-n.blogspot.com

Opinions, events(not much, boring person here), photos, rants(hopefully not much), diary material, you know the drill.
