Quotes I wrote in my notebook but i dunno where is it from.
You are looking at a chess board. Is there anything you can't see? No. But are you guaranteed to win? Not at all, because you can't see what the other guy is thinking.
The more you wanna know everything, the more you get imprisoned by the idea. You get locked in, but you can never know everything.
It is our own mental attitude which makes the world what it is for us. Our thoughts makes things beautiful, it can make things ugly. The whole world is in our minds.
Pre-judging is a kiss of death.

Books~~
I've read quite a number of books lately. Done with Totto Chan and Yakuza Moon. I've also started to re-read some of the books i had on Paulo Coelho. It makes me feel so different each time i read his books. Brida, The fifth Mountain and currently, The Witch of PortoBello. I'm so gonna make his books complete. His words, his sensitivity.. Marvellous.

Sweetest Karma
Someone kept whining abt me not posting anything up for these days cos i am sick of ranting all those things that get to me yet i cant do anything abt it. So for once i am gonna so blog how " happiness" i am in now. Fuck the future although this whole relationship is gonna rip me apart years or even months later. How cynical.
Thanks for the sweetest chrysanthemum you have ever made for me.
Holding your hands made me realise how lucky i am to have you by my side.
Resting on your shoulder made me feel that i have someone to depend on.
Sleeping next to you made me feel so secured.
Kissing you made me feel loved.
Hugging you made me feel whole again.
Whatever it is, thanks for accepting who i am, not the person you want me to be.
And I am changing because of you
You made me feel proud of myself and
You are my happiness plate!
LOVES!!

Gandhi, my friend.
"What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty and democracy?
"An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind".
"It has always been easier to destroy than to create".
"There are many causes that I am prepared to die for but no causes that I am prepared to kill for".
“Whenever, we hurt some other living being through our thought, utterance or action under non-cordial stipulation and non-apt learning, such an impure spirit or act of destroying life of some other one, including the impure tendency, utterance or presuming, is taken to be full of vice of violence. In such a situation, even if there is no sort of violence externally, it intrinsically remains a tendency of violence.”
As a situation opposite to violence is non-violence, we can firmly state, “Total non-violence consists in not hurting some other one’s intellect, speech or action per own thought, utterance or deeds and not to deprive some one of his life.” We can clearly say this in a few words as follows: Abstinence in toto from violence is non-violence.
Gandhi believed that all humans are susceptible to sinful actions and behaviour, and the worst of dictators were essentially the same despite the difference in their lives, beliefs and actions. Despite this, he held firmly that humans had no right to punish each other. He believed punishment to be the responsibility of God.
Some might say, in this dog eat dog world, what he does won't help. He will be bullied, taken advantage of and worst, labeled as a loser.
Being a winner means getting in front of everybody. Earning the most money, being the clever one, a top salesman, staying competive you might say. Thats the fighting spirit. But what have you gained? Its hard work being the top, and you have to maintain the ever stressful lifestyle you are having. Look around you. Slow down. Use your eyes to see. I would say being Gandhi then its hard work. Because he is different.
Be the change you want to see in the world. Thats you.

Jodi Picoult's review
My first Jodi Picoult Change of Heart. Ripped off from Stephen King's The Green Mile. Such disappointment. I always thought Jodi Picoult is quite a good author. Haiz.. Read the first 3 chapters and realised its all so similar to The Green Mile, which is one of my fave shows. Where is the creativity? But I have to finish it up cos that is the only book i have on my hands. Accept it. Or should I pout and keep blaming the author for lack of imagination? Faster read finish and get over it, get a new book. Am looking forward to Toto Chan's The Little Girl At The Window and Shoko Tendo's Yakuza Moon.
