Stress MODE

Today was in particular a rather stress day for me.

I was searching high and low for a story; a story that was of meaning and relates to me in my daily life.
Hours have passed, but the stories I found just could not 'link' to me.

Thanks to Hanis for taking some precious time in searching for a story for me; she introduced :

That was when I was reminded of the anime "Paprika". This anime is AWESTRUCK if there is such a word. It is simply awesome with its extraordinary visuals and out of the box storyline.

After watching Paprika, I flipped through a book "" which I had borrowed. It was there and then did a story "The red Tree" caught my attention and in fact, relates to me in my life such as now.

I did research on it and also on the person who came up with the fantastic story idea:

Shaun Tan was born in 1974 and grew up in the northern suburbs of Perth, Western Australia. In school he became known as the 'good drawer' which partly compensated for always being the shortest kid in every class. He graduated from the University of WA in 1995 with joint honours in Fine Arts and English Literature, and currently works full time as a freelance artist and author in Melbourne.

Now, I just have to tell Mr. Ronald about "The Red Tree".
