死亡 - 我们总是被它缠绕着..

对他唯一的印象就是谈吐“欧式”,有成人之风范。虽然他比我小四岁,但当时的我感觉像是他的弟弟。哈。那个时候我跟着爸爸同事的家人(很怪吧)一起到圣淘沙。我跟他们家的小儿子坐在车后座,尽说一些无关紧要的话。我只记得他的英语超强的。他应该才小学低年级,而我应该读中学了吧。

一场恐怖的交通事故导致他一度昏迷不醒,而刚好过马路时正在前头的哥哥毫发无伤。自中二那年,他就没办法上学,更不用说考什么'O'水准了。

听说是前几天过世的。爸爸是从别的同事口中才得知此事。他刚从殡仪馆回来,向我们说:“好像是自杀。”我顿时感到心脏好像被什么东西硬往下扯,口渐渐地流失水分,犹如干枯的沙漠。妈妈听了,说话时声音有一度还颤抖着。

我想:有时候我们真的无法判定谁对谁错,或某个决定明智与否。他心中的苦闷、烦躁、埋怨想必是我们想象不了的。他身边亲朋好友对他的爱想必也是我们无法想象的。只希望他在天堂能得到安宁;深爱着他的人们能从这个艰难的时候得到解脱。rip, mark.

如何坠入爱河

Currently reading a book 'How to Fall in Love' by Cecelia Ahern. (almost at midway mark now) I must admit, thought it was gonna be a chic-flick kinda novel, perhaps largely similar to all other love novels. But this book has the ability to keep me glued to it, even after stopping, I find it easy to connect back to the story when I pick it up and continue reading again.

Here are some excerpts which I love:

1. He was staring at me, a thoughtful look on his face. 'What?' I asked. 'Rose petal,' he said simply. 'I love rose petal.' 'And the chocolate would be in the shape of a petal.' 'You're good,' I acknowledged. 'All the more reason for me to keep you alive.' 'You mean there's more than one reason?' he joked, and closed the door. Yes, I thought to myself as I watched him make his way around the car.

2. 'Where would we be without tomorrows? What we'd have instead would be todays. And if that was the case, with you, I'd hope for the longest day for today. I'd fill with you, doing everything I've ever loved. I'd laugh, I'd talk, I'd listen and learn, I'd love, I'd love, I'd love. I'd make every day today and spend them all with you, and I'd never worry about tomorrow, when I wouldn't be with you. And when that dreaded tomorrow comes for us, please know that I didn't want to leave you, or be left behind, that every single moment spent with you were the best times in my life.'

Superb writing I must say. Using the simplest of words but yet constructing such beautiful sentences that manages to touch hearts. <3
