20 March

Hi guys, seems tat i haven't updated my blog like, in a month... XD

I focused on my exams and it seems that all my hard work paid off.
I've got great results, excluding my forever-bad-Chinese subject. Well, at least its a 70%..

I was also engrossed with these books, The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes and The Return of Sherlock Holmes.
It came in a set as 3 books in 1.
It is the first time I read Sherlock Holmes' stories, and I got to admit that the author, Arthur Conan Doyle was very creative and has a sound and intelligent mind.
He managed to make the characters alive and are full of character.
But, Sherlock Holmes is not famous only by sitting and thinking. No, for he is a man who loves disguises and is observant, which helped him succeed in solving many mysteries.
The plot of the stories are somewhat twisting but could be a drag sometimes for the topic of the stories are somewhat related to the criminal.
And when I haven't even read a half of the story, I knew who it was who commited murder of so-and-so or who stole the pearl necklace of the Queen of England.

But overall, it was a book which managed to keep me preoccupied for a whole day, ignoring hunger pangs and sleep till I've read the last chapter.
