screwtape, marina bay sands, escargot

thanks to the cg, I now know c s lewis also wrote satirical literature works like screwtape letters. screwtape is a representation of the devil and wormwood is his nephew, a demon in training. though his words and sentences can be a bit tough for me but I think it should make for some interesting read and perhaps learn a few literacy tricks.

marina bay sands or mbs for short or golden sands for the chinese translation, has been around for awhile, everyone else and their grandma had been there and done whatever that can be done. like what? walk through the row and row of atas shops offering made-in-china items at appraised-in-hell prices. of coz its the branding. not many elsewhere you can get upper-class shopping in 1 building. and the rain occulus thing was kinda cool. the infinity pool was rather disappointing and overcrowded.

for perhaps 20 years of my life (36 if you want to get technical), I have avoided eating escargot aka snails aka slugs. not very appetizing just based on the english name. the snails we know are of the garden variety and non-edible. they are mostly crushed by blur sotongs who don't look where they go. so while some species are edible, they don't sound so appetizing. but I took one when we were dining at todai. ate it and here's my verdict. its chewy and probably nice with whatever way of cooking if, you don't think abt it as the garden snails we get in this tropical weather. chewy really. no thanks, I had enough.

so yeah, fun filled 2 days and its not over yet. w00t!

screwtape letters

by c s lewis. not a fan of c s lewis but his reputation precedes him. but screwtape letters? what's that abt? my literacy knowledge is really bad and what's worse is my faithfulness in keeping up with readings. too much LoU I admit. working on it.

but thanks be to God, and the thoughtful CG (namely dickson and allison) for the book. I pray I will be hooked on the book before the game. or games even.
