Memory in youth is active and easily impressible; in old age it is comparatively callous to new impressions, but still retains vividly those of earlier years.
~ Charlotte Bronte
It has been one month since I last exercise, including jumping around in the house, trying to break some sweat!. I did some simple workout in the first week of Ramadhan because I do not want my body to feel too pampered. But I think I pushed myself a bit too hard that time until my body aching all over afterwards....yikess. It wasn't a good feeling like the normal feeling we have after breaking some sweats and feels the energy pumping in. It is more like "tired to the bones and please can I sleep the whole day" feeling. Guess what, I stop exercising from that day onwards.
Well, after resting for a month, I finally went for a jog at Desa Park City. It started with simple walk, then a bit of jogging thereafter. I just went around two circle and the park is full with people exercising. Darn!!!
The next day, I got blister between my toes because my trainers are in bad shape. Hence I didn't go for a jog on Sunday as I intended to.
During the two weeks of school holiday in June 2010, I finally managed to visit my sister in the land of down under. Before I reached there, I told my sister that my main purpose is to visit the art gallery which I did but I forgot to bring my camera.
On top of that, my biggest interest would be in books or anything that is related to books. Of all the bookstores that I went to, I managed to capture two pictures. I was so captivated and overwhelming with the varieties of books that they have, especially the price that they gave. It is so much cheaper even after I've converted to MYR.
I bought so many books until my sister practically have to drag me away from entering any bookstore as my baggage is overloaded with books.
Well, I have actually exceeded 20 kg of the free weight given. What can I do, I'm totally into books.

| Books sold at the flea market are freakishly cheap. It can go as low as AUD1 each and I was having a difficult time to choose which book I want as I can get loads of books by british author here. |

| Another discount bookstore in town area. I went gaga over the price and choice of books they have. |
Initially, the storyline is a bit mundane. About love, family and all the obstacles that they have to face in order to be together.Though I thought after they got married, they will live happily ever after but I was mistaken as I was dragged into another phase of life filled with secrets and how this woman has to handle it. Accepting a truth was never easy, trying to forgive and forget is another thing. Would it be easy to look into a person face whom she love and adored without any prejudice of the mistakes that he has done.Life is always full of surprises and sometimes we thought that we know who we are, yet we are still capable of doing things that we thought we are incapable of.
Dorian Gray is a symbolic idea of people who wishes to cheat the natural process of aging. Yes, he got what he wanted but the price that he has to pay for it is nonetheless very demeaning and evil.Would you rather stay young forever but live in pool of guilt and damnation.I guess it is true what people said about being careful of what you wishes for it might comes true and in the end you will regret it for the rest of your life.....

"Dare not say that man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death. I have loved none but you. Unjust I may have been, weak and resentful I have been, but never inconstant. You alone have brought me to Bath. For you alone, I think and plan. Have you not seen this? Can you fail to have understood my wishes?"
Captain Wentworth's letter to Anne, in the Musgrove's room at the White Hart in Bath
- Persuasion, volume 2, chapter 11
"I can listen no longer in silence. I must speak to you by such means as are within my reach. You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone forever."

My friend : I live in a fairytale
Me : Aren't we all? Until we are woken up by a rude awakening that will snap us back into reality
My friend : Don't you dare wake me up
Me : ahahhahahah...How can I when I myself is drowning in it too!!!
"It's strange indeed how memories can lie dormant in a man's mind for so many years. Yet those memories can be awakened and brought forth fresh and new, just by something you've seen, or something you've heard, or the sight of an old familiar face." - Wilson Rawls, Where the Red Fern Grows, Ch. 1
"Life appears to me too short to be spent in nursing animosity or registering wrongs." - Charlotte Bronte, Jane Eyre
"Look at everything as though you were seeing it either for the first or last time."
Datuk Dr Maznah said, "Being a mother & wife, we must have at least 2 hours a day for ourselves for our own health and beauty. Don`t discard the dreams inside us away because at the end of the day, we shall regret."
I can only note that the past is beautiful because one never realises an emotion at the time. It expands later, and thus we don't have complete emotions about the present, only about the past.
Each has his past shut in him like the leaves of a book known to him by his heart, and his friends can only read the title.
