The right words can open your heart , for you to love again.

Hey all, i'm back from malaysia. been a pretty enriching trip, yea via books that is. Man, i just realised how badly i need to be able to speak in fluent cantonese. To put it simply, you can't communicate there at all if u dont know cantonese. Now i'm regretting for refusing to learn cantonese.

And so, i was left there, unable to hold any conversation with anyone, and that's pretty sad. Ah, thankfully though, i brought 2 books there, and my sister bought another at the book shop over at malaysia, and then i just immersed myself in the legendary land of words. yup, words.

I didint know i could go on a marathon reading books. english books that is, i can hardly read a page of any chinese book, yea even those for kindergarden kids. And i'm still wishing i'll get b3 for chinese o's. ah whatever.

okay, i read three books in total, the war of the worlds(thks tat yi), the five people you meet in heaven and sam's letters to jennifer. (thks sister). ah what can i say? these 3 books were awesome, and they definitely made me adore books even more. But well, i'm still a more of a novel kind of guy, which is rather weird suppose. People often stereotype guys with thrillers, sci-fic books etc right? Anyways, war of the worlds wasnt that great with me, guess i'm better of catching the movie. but the other books definitely changed my perception quite a bit.

ah. Sam's letters to Jennifer. The author's amazing for he is a guy and he is writing from a girl point of view. well hopefully he isnt gay. but judging from the great description of making love(from a girl pov), maybe he is. I dont know, but i shall salute him anyways. Basicially, it's about a grandmother's advice to her granddaughter, about love that is. About lifting urself up and indulge in love once again. What's the best thing on earth and free? You've guessed it, love.

2nd book. five people you meet in heaven. gave me a whole new perception about heaven. in this book, Heaven is actually a place in which you meet five people who explain things about your life and make sure you understand, and learn.

There was this particular part that i loved. "Lost love is still love. It takes a different form, that's all. You cant see their smile or bring them food, or tousle their hair or move them around a dance floor. But when those senses weaken, another heightens, Memory. Memory becomes your partner. You nurture it. You hold it. You dance with it."

And to think that's one of the many parts that's thought provoking. For avid book lovers, you've gotta really get it and read it up.

Wow, didnt expect i'll talk so much. prolly to make up for the inability to speak over at malaysia. So i'll stop for now. tommorow then.

And so, i learnt, The way you handle love can actually affect what love does to you. So perhaps, i should open up my heart once again, and should love come, i'll handle it right.
