"I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the business of denying myself the
simple pleasure of saying true things. I'm in love with you, and I know
that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is
inevitable, and that we're all doomed and that there will come a day
when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will
swallow the only earth we'll ever have, and I am in love with you.”
“There are infinite numbers between 0 and 1. There's .1 and .12 and .112
and an infinite collection of others. Of course, there is a bigger
infinite set of numbers between 0 and 2, or between 0 and a million.
Some infinities are bigger than other infinities. A writer we used to
like taught us that. There are days, many of them, when I resent the
size of my unbounded set. I want more numbers than I'm likely to get,
and God, I want more numbers for Augustus Waters than he got. But, Gus,
my love, I cannot tell you how thankful I am for our little infinity. I
wouldn't trade it for the world. You gave me a forever within the
numbered days, and I'm grateful.”
My two favourite paras of the book. Bulldozed through the book in 2 days. I am undecided if I want to watch the movie, if it can live up to the book. If it does, I am so going to bawl my eyes out like how I did when I was finishing up the last part of the book. I was tearing on the bus and didnt dare to continue till I was safely in the confines of my tiny room.
Another classic oh-my-god-i-am-crying-till-i-cant-breathe-and-i-am-gg-to-look-like-crap-the-next-day-because-my-eyes-are-gg-to-be-so-swollen-it-is-not-even-funny is "A Walk to Remember". Both the book and the movie reduced me to a pile of sobbing mess. A complete sucker for such love stories.
Now I am juggling between GoT (Book 5 now finally!!!) and May We be Forgiven. I still have a lot more books in my Kindle waiting to be read. The couple of days have been spent reading on the MRT instead of the bus because I have been attending trainings at the inland revenue house.
Kind of dreading tmr's training because the trainer is so incredibly long winded and there are so many times that i want to scream "GET TO THE FREAKING POINT ALREADY" / "YES HOW MANY TIMES DO U NEED TO REPEAT THIS. WE GET IT. WE G.E.T. I.T. WE REALLY GE. WHAT YOU ARE REPEATING IT AGAIN?!!?" / "NO THIS IS NOT RELEVANT. I DONT CARE YOU ARE SICK/DYING/INSERT WHATEVER DISEASE AS LONG AS YOU ARE NOT SPREADING IT TO ME. MOVE ON WITH THE TEACHING TYVM"
I think the trainer kind of avoided looking in my direction because my face was so black and the aura that was I was channeling screams "i want to beat you with a stick if you repeat the same ol' point AGAIN. like for the 1093848754th time." And not surprisingly, he ended late which means BAD TIME MANAGEMENT DUDE. RAH. And he wants to start later tmr!?!? Like WTH?! Shouldnt we aim to start on time so that we can end on time???
Travelling via train in the morning is something I have not done since I have started work, preferring bus as the mode of transport to work as opposed to the train. And with the recent (maybe not so recent) string of train disruptions and all the horror stories that I hear, I am more pro-bus than ever. But somehow, this morning's train wasn't as bad as I thought. It wasn't that crowded or maybe cause I was a bit too early, hence missing the peak period crowd. Thanks to the trainer's attempt to be "kind" and start the training later, it will mean that I will need to fight my way into the train with the insane crowd cause I will be taking the later train. Either that or reach insanely early and freeze my butt off in the training room. WHY YOU WANT TO START LATER!!!!!!!!
