South of the border, west of the sun (国境の南、太陽の西)- haruki murakami

this is a book i bought for myself using the kino vouchers i got as birthday present, as ser recommended it to me.. cause she think i would like it.
i did enjoy the book.. it's interesting enough till the end, i like the idea of Shinamoto-san being such a mysterious lady and till the end of the story i was really wondering were did she go to, who is she, what kinda life does she lead? the idea of his little jazz bar at aoyama is nice, wish i could visit there and try one of his cocktails :) she likes diaquiri (like ah tan n me). this book being a translation of a jap novel, sometimes i could just imagine how bits of their conversation would sound like in japanese.. haa maybe i should find the jap version to look at the choice of words..

i've just got home not too long ago from a judogirls night out.. first time i'm drinking w all of them! from fajitas to burritos to chimichangas tt i tried today, i enjoyed my chimichanga! ;)altho it's kinda pricey.. and we drank to our fill w margaritas, and tried the la cucaracha and mars bar!! yummy hee
then we head off to LUNAR haa.. the red chairman mao upstairs is real cute! :) oh my tian.. my first time in a mandopop place.. it was q an interesting experience, and we kinda converted it to a mini kbox session by singing along w all the concert clips they screened before the shanghai-night performances started.. damn cheena.. the drinks are pretty jialat but i shant complain, cause free entry and one free drink for each of us so we hang out there w/o paying a single cent..

it's been such a long time since we got such good attendance.. too bad huiyi cudnt join us.. realize hope much i miss my judogirls.. must go out soon! :)
