Mother's Memorable Read

Well, to start of, my mother was never quite much of a reader(no offence mom!) Ask her what book she has read and she will take only a few seconds to tell you that she only remembers one book:Tuesdays With Morrie. Sure, she cannot really remember the details of the book clearly, but she mentioning this book almost instantly after my questioning should mean something about it!

By the way, for those of you who have never read it, it is basically a book on life, each chapter about a different aspect of life.From forgiveness to regrets, the topics are somewhat inspiring at times.In a way, my mother was generally moved by how Morrie lived his live to the fullest, up to his last breath.Her favourite part of the story is also when Morrie says goodbye to the author before he dies.It is very emotional at that part.The story is also based on a true account by its author!(Morrie, rest in peace)

To be honest, the first time I read this book was years ago, and I was actually quite bored by its relatively simple contents.However, when I read it maybe a few months back, I was pretty impressed by it.Kudos to Mitch Albom for such a read!

Confessions of a softie?

OK...the title may sound weird but I guess that's the best confession I can think of so far..come to think of it..it is not really a confession. I am guessing this is quite common among all of us..compassion. Whenever I see old or disabled people on the streets busking for a living or just selling stuff like tissue paper, I cant help but feel very bad for them. In a way I have the feeling that it is my fault they are in this situation. Even after passing them for a long time, I cant help but think about them again. Sometime its just so distracting, I begin to wonder if this "softness" is a disadvantage.
Another aspect of my "softness" is that I'm easily how should I put it,"pushed around"?Well at least I was during my primary school days. Do not be fooled by my "massive"(so as some say) frame, I am actually a gentle giant...Still, I think everyone knows that by now. I feel that I should stand up for myself more often than not, but alas, I cant for no reason.
I guess that concludes my confession..bye?
