No.73 - Storybooks

completed 2 storybooks during this break (which is about to end in 3days' time).

My Sister's Keeper and Dear John.

the 1st one took me almost a month to finish, it was quite draggy and it has been quite some time since i last read a storybook. so it was quite difficult to get into the 'rhythm' at 1st. one day few pages and when almost time to return the book, it was bullet-train speed. the details on how the girl filed the case against her parents was too detailed but the end was really a twist, did not expect it. searching for the dvd, it was somewhere at home but now nowhere to be seen.

the 2nd one took me...FOUR days, yes, F-O-U-R! the fastest i ever took to finish a storybook. i think the flow for storybooks is there now. and i must tell that i love reading storybooks that doesnt have quite a happy ending for a party and it somehow must be love story, whether family love, sisterly love or boy-girl love. i felt i could relate to this story (i can't tell why and how). the dvd is waiting for me to watch. shall do so tomorrow or day after tomorrow. my favourite line from this book :

'Love meant that you care for another person's happiness more than your own, no matter how painful the choices you face might be.'

next up, trying to get my hands on The Last Song, also by Nicholas Sparks. just like all his stories. although i did not read A Walk to Remember and The Notebook, i watched both the movies. just lovely. his talent of writing love stories.

No.72 - Barriers

barriers are made, i believe. they just do not appear or exist just like that. its man-made. for example, a person mentioned he/she cannot change for the reason of being too used to the normal way. in this way, he/she has already set his/her mind that way, so obviously the change cannot be made.

hearts and minds should be opened all the time to accept and to make changes in life. if barriers are always present, we will miss the chance to experience things in life: to live life to the fullest, to laugh your lungs out and to love like you have never been loved before.

No.71 - How Holiday Has Been

it feels weird having such long holiday without needing to touch the books. for the past 1year, each holiday is filled with books. this time no books. its quite dull actually but slowly am finding things to do. a lot of movies and series to watch and also books (storybooks or any books not related to academic).

exercise, for the time being is on the break for a specific reason. will be back playing badminton, jogging and cycling next week probably, hopefully.

trip over the sea cancelled for a very huge event. hopefully its really worth it for He has guided me this far, im sure He would not disappoint me.

i think thats all for now. just ensuring the blog does not die off.

No.70 - 1/5 completed

yes, 1/5 of the journey is completed but not confirmed yet as results are not out, everything uncertain. it will take a week or two to really conclude my 1st year.

it felt as if it was only last month that i registered for the course. how time flies. had 3 weeks of study break before the finals, was struggling and complaining how the 3 weeks of studying and 3 weeks of exam will be a hell. but its gone like the wind and im starting my almost-2-months-holiday now.

2 superbly important things await me this period. hope both turn out well. they're correlated.

other than that, will be enjoying my holiday. sports, family, outings, home, friends and love. :)

have many things on my mind to complete. many goals. :)

cant wait.

Ask and you shall receive. He will guide you through it. :)
