I’m a Musician’s Daughter — but who’s asking?

Friday, June 22nd, 2007

I want to have my rest. Argh. Too much work and school (more school than work). T________T

Why did I ever think that taking 19 units would be fine? With 2 majors and a Chem31 subject? Organic chem, I love you :D Please be nice to my grade!

On other news, I finished reading this book here. I actually like Amy Tan. She’s one of the authors that I really adore reading. Why? Well, cause she knows how to make a story flow smoothly. And she creates conflicts that are so close to heart that I can’t help but continue reading.

I’m Chinese, yes, but my family never really entirely resembles that of any of her characters (should I be thankful?)

Anyway, this book is about Ruth Young, a book collaborator who lives with Art and his two girls. She has a mother who’s an illigitimate daughter of a bonesetter’s daughter (the relation is quite far) XD Anyway, this mother of Ruth’s, Luling, has Alzheimer’s disease and she’s plagued by dementia.

This books is about dealing with family and talks about family ties and the like. It also goes back to when Japan invaded China (back when Luling was still in the prime of her youth) — interesting history, really :) It isn’t pretentious and it won’t overload you with facts (for me, anyway).

By the way, been updating my mail.com blog lately (they have new layouts :D and they’ve improved it yay)
