LUST

weekend yang agak membosankan (except, i finally have time to sit and relax, reading my long forgotten "the history of Tom Jones, a foundling" by Henry Fielding) and really, i almost forgot that i have this book. you see.. i bought this book at discount price (2 books for one price) and actually i wanted the other book, ie: The Rachel papers (labeled as vintage classics: LUST). The 'Rachel' was good. the element of lust was there and was written in  a very rich english vocab. 

as for the 'Tom Jones', it was first published back in 1749 (so, its  avery 'thou' , 'thee' thing). but, the story was good or at least, the description was clear..(not halfway reading it yet...) bikin mengantuk betul dia punya thou and thee..(aiyak). 

if i have to recommend any book worthy of attention yang boli kasi masuk dalam siri LUST ni, (and putting aside all those romance novels by mills & boon or the harlequin-betul kah tu ejaan?). i think Irving's "a widow for one year" and yeah, Steinbeck's "East of Eden".. will be on the top of my list. (Eventhough, i have to admit steinbeck a bit too dark for me... bikin takut!).  but ya... lust nontheless!

apapasal sy cerita pasal lust pula nipagi-pagi? ooo.. last week, i fasted for few days (doing it for the sake of doing it) and rediscover the pure good taste of simple food, of how delicious  a food can be on empty stomach. that's when a basic need to be filled fulfilled (but, still i cant chased away the need to feast on Famous Amos cookies- i looooove 'em, or my longing for a cup of Earl Grey... sorilah sabah tea, you're no where compared to this trusted label)(and greg... jan ko ckp sy urang putih, tea murah dari kupi bah..). lusting for something (or someone, as in the case of tom jones and rachel and steinbeck's) carry a deeper need than just a mere need. (or... macam tu lah yang sy faham)

uppppssss.. (gulp!). i try to google the term "LUST". bah! nah kau...(try sendiri lar.. mau kasi add link pun malas sy!). but my microsoft words synonym bagi ni arrr...yearn, desire, long after, etc. so, in this context i prefer itu yearning sebagai lust. 

there are big difference in saying "i love my cup of Earl Grey" and " i lust for my cup of Earl Grey". dia punya anticipation berbeza, and that longing itu beza.. (dapat rasa kan?.. heee.. itu LOVE jadi macam timid, down to earth longing. while LUST jadi exploding need yang tidak boli tidak, mau juga..).. bah, that kind of yearning lah juga tu yang paksa my sis (once upon a time masa kami muda) rode on her motorbike to the nearest 7E to get a gulp of vanilla coke in the middle of the night! phew!!

bikin takut ini cerita pasal lust..yeah, Lord i knew that king David and his lust story.. and that for a man of Your own heart..
