Don't know what I wanna write. The better part of today I spent on working. I've just finished work, and my mind is quite groggy now.
Hmm...ok, let's talk about the book I'm reading now. Like I said, today's been a busy day, so I didn't get to read a lot, but enough to talk about.
On the Island is the book I'm reading and the one I'm gonna devour right after blogging.
It's about a 16-year-old boy with cancer (T.J.) and his thirty-year-old tutor (Anna) whose schedule had been to fly to a certain island by seaplane where they would spend summer together with the boy's family. Things never go as planned. The unexpected thing happened. The pilot suffered from a heart-attack. Without driver, the seaplane crashed down into the sea. By some sort of miracles, both T.J. and Ann survived without being shark's luncheon and got carried by the sea current to an uninhabited island. At first, they suffered from extreme dehydration due to having no container for rainwater. So far they've adjusted to their new life and things are getting more interesting between T.J. and Ann.
The premise is quite like that of Robinson. Personally, I think things are rather too convenient for two people who've lived all their life in city to survive. But then, if it wasn't, there would be no more story because the protagonists would have died due to dehydration, food poisoning, bug allergy, scurvy...All sorts of things that could kill you when you are on a totally uninhabited island.
Haven't gotten very far, so I don't know what more to talk about, except one thing, I'll ever be so thankful that I've got a fully-equipped bathroom and access to anyplace that sell shampoo, shower cream, medicines and such.
Today I spent a long time thoroughly scrubbing away dirt on my body and enjoyed every minute I spent on shampooing my hair and washing. You never know when you would get crashed on an island where there will be no toilet, no bathroom and no shampoo for you. Right? *teasing*
