chasing the da vinci code

this weekend sibei zor bor le. blading kakis got stanchart run so saturday bor blading. so went for my regular swim instead. started reading The Da Vinci Code by dan brown since last week, so at least travelling to and fro the pool got something to read hor, wont get bored.

had been chasing the story eversince last week. story started slow slow la, but gradually picked up pace. now sibei gan jiong liao. think today alone i probably read abt 40-50% of the book. had to charge my TT3 (mine is ebook version, more convenient) twice so as to continue reading.

because of the book hor, i...
  • watched The Real Da Vinci Code (actually i watched the documentary before starting on the book);
  • went to Wikipedia to look up info on Leonardo da Vinci;
  • went to Wikipedia to look up info on Age of Pisces;
  • went to Wikipedia to look up info on Knight Templar;
  • going to Google Earth for the Temple Church;
  • edit this entry 5, 6 times because i dunno why keep getting the formatting wrong...;
  • more to come...
its a pretty well researched piece of fiction la. nice. friend says his other book, Angels & Demons also nice. that shall be my next read la.

Update on December 05, 2005: read finish liao on the cradle-bound TT3 (ran out of juice mah!)
