My Saturday!

Right..right so i got pretty much to blog about today.Lets begin okay,as the usual "bookaholic",my father and I went to the popular bookfair in ikano-our usual hang out place.The place was super congested as a stretch of the main road was closed down to make place for the merdeka count down.And i was thinking...merdeka count down..erm patriotic.So so the point was we spent almost an hour at the bookfair mining for "gold".Haha i went searching and digging at the piles and piles of english books priced from as low as RM1...then the neat piles of chinese books.Hunting for books is so fun in the sense that when you found something you like..you can be so excited that you can feel the rush of adrenaline and not to mention sometimes you have to dig as deep as you can like the chinese proverb "the best thing is always at the bottom" so it really is hard work..lol.My hunt was rather fruitful as i got not less than 10 books at less than a 100 bucks.Brilliant me!!I realise i looked rather messed up when i left the place.You try squeezing between people and people carrying heaps of books.But then no complaint though!

Then after that i pretty much spent most of the afternoon reading..and keep reading.Wonderful..and i managed to finish a chinese book in 4 hours..continuously.It is the typical type of chinese love story.This is the first i read.I usually dont even bothered about picking one up as i was rather stereotypical too thinking that they are nothing but dramatic and shallow.But then after this book,i really ought to eat my words.This book is not too bad and i should say not all are bad too.Yes..it is mostly lovey-dovey stuff...but then isnt most books based on that too.Seems like it really is the main theme of books these days.So thankfully i feel like "dont judge a book by its cover" today or else i would have hold that misled opinion for a longer time.

Then there was the late dinner with mitchell that i just came back from.We went to ss2 and we were looking for parking and when we saw one,i was so truly excited that i didnt realise there was this big hole right before the drain.And before we know it..damn i have my right front tyre trapped in the big hole and worse i cant get it out!I got out of the car and see..oh dear the hole was really deep and no matter how hard i step on the accelerator my car just didnt move an inch.Then we were really panicking and totally helpless..what was two girls supposed to do now?!It scares us even more when we dont even know to whom should we call for help since both our fathers are not at home.Then there came a young man from behind us and offer to help.Gosh..i cant tell you how relieved i was.He saw whats the problem then asked me to first straighten my steering wheel..I was already so panicky that i remember asking him "how?" which seems so embrassing now and i was on the verge of getting out and ask him to do it.Then he helped me with it.Then he stood right beside the front tyre and ask me to step hard when he lift it up.I nodded.Then with much effort he lifted it up a little bit and my car was free!!We said thank you so many times..but when i want to turn around to thank him again he was gone.What a nice guy..my hero of the night..not everyone would have the heart to help or feel the need to help.Bless him bless him..i even have the thought of buying him dinner..but then he left too soon and we dont have enough money too.Twice i bump into this car problem..and twice my father was not around too so i really got help from these good samaritans.Once my tyre was punctured in Seri Kembangan..i want to ask help from my friend also difficult luckily an uncle changed the tyre for me.Cold sweat cold sweat..

Haha maybe i should learn some basic skills to handle these kind of unexpected incidents.So people call me if you see any workshop for this!So this is how i spent my saturday..not really eventful but rather satisfying.Cheers!!

Read..read and read...

Okay..i am just so completely into reading these few days and it cant be good considering i have a few tests next week.I dont know what got into me..i just feel like keep reading and reading.I would normally take a few weeks to finish a book,just take my own sweet time enjoying it.But it is different this time.I use little more than a day to finish a chinese book not once but almost twice.Read it over and over again..laugh at the same part i laughed,get my heart broken at the same part before and enjoying it more and more everytime.

Its like you dont care at all what will happen tomorrow as long as you can keep reading.I just love how it feels like when i indulge myself in a different world.Feel different feelings...this author is not bad at all,she is a legend in the chinese writing world.I guess reading provides me with some sort of a sanctuary..it is where you can turn to anytime and just forget your problem for a while and follow where the story takes you.It is time when you can let your imagination roams free and think of yourself as who ever you want to be,absolutely wonderful!!

I really think besides green tea ice-cream,teddy bears and french fries...books is one of human beings' greatest idea!!Cheers to all the authors i respect and admire above all..Haha gtg..bookworm is me.

To Be Forgiving

I am a very simple person.I do not have too much of anger and hatred in me.Even when i am extremely pist off by somebody,the anger and frustration would normally disappear within at most 2 days.

But like life,there is always exception.Lately i am just so mad at this particular person.Not that i think about it all the times but on some unfortunate events i'm being painfully reminded.It is what she does that hurts me most painfully.I shall not go into details as it most probably will involve too many people.

But what i have learned is that, we truly cannot expect everyone in the world to be like us.Not everyone is entitled to treating us respectfully and with compassion.And there will always be people who constantly brings out the worst in us..pushing us to a point where we really have to be mean and harsh as opposite to what we strive to become.

There is so much more in life than to become such an angry and pist off person.We always have a choice,just dont let anyone stand in the way of us becoming who we really desire.I know its easier said than done but eventually we really have to be forgiving and let it go.It just take times and some willingness.And today..i think i can do so and hope i always can when required.

Until then..Cheers!!
