Feeling nice

Tonight, I went to MPH bookstore, Subang Parade after taking my dinner. At there, I found a few interesting books, Modern China, China Style, The Chinese Garden, and Japanese Garden Design. All are about China and Japan. Actually, for me, there is a strong relationship between Chinese life and Japanese life, lying based on the ancient history. Still, there are a lot of similarities between these two cultures.

Wonder why I read those books? This is because of my adoration to Chinese style, Japanese life and maybe my conviction to the beauty of these two cultures. Without denying the beauty of other cultures, the aesthetics of these two cultures are much more easily to touch my heart and evoke my senses. Maybe it is because I am a Chinese. Honestly, I do not know much about Japanese, and even Chinese. This is because there lies a very long history behind them. A very beautiful history.

I did not actually read those books due to the lack of time (approaching 10pm when the bookstore will be closed). I just "scanned" the pictures in those books. Enjoying the pleasure of appreciating the beauty and aesthetics of Chinese and Japanese, I felt so excited yet comfortable. Besides, i felt the impulse to renovate my room (like what has been done by Dave) to become modern chinese style. But, my dream won't come true la, i think. It will only be reality when i become an architect ^_^ . And I realized that I really like reading, to gain knowledge and perceive senses, but not to study for tests -_-''' . And I do really like history (especially Chinese and Japanese history), to know the origin, identity and way of life, instead of memorize the context deadly for tests.

Today is a nice day. Reading, like meditation, brings the comfort of life, the spirits of soul, the senses of living. ^_^

(I have the strong desire to buy books in MPH, but the prices are really scaring. Any good suggestions? Don't tell me to on9 look for the info I want, this will be tiring. Holding a book and read is much better than read in internet. Don't you think so?)
