A tapestry of events

The silence is overwhelming. I've been feeling a bit dizzy since this afternoon, after my econs paper and I tried in vain to get my eyes closed. So I'm sitting here now, trying to search some thoughts in mind to be put in words. I feel like writing something but my head is too reeling to behave properly. Talking about my exam, I'm gladly announce that it's finally over! Can feel a bit of relief there but still, I'm hoping for the results to turn out good.

I watched 'Serendipity' just now. It's quite a nice story though a bit..how do I put this.. whimsical? It's basically about believing in fate and everything is predestined to its proper course. It's not that I don't believe in fate [apakah??] but it's just this kind of movies that I don't believe in. Well, of course it's just for the sake of killing time and getting out of sheer boredom but I don't watch movies without gaining anyting from them. How ever stupid the message is or how arid the storyline is, I know there must be a cannonball behind it. But let's not get it too technical, I enjoyed watching it. And since I don't have class tomorrow for the whole day, there are three more to go!! Hah.. talking about time-killer ;p

And I'm currently winding up a novel, My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult. A very nice one. It's about a girl, Anna who was born through IVF with specifically designated genes and traits to help her sister, Kate who had a leukaemia. When Kate was diagnosed with the disease, the parents tried to find the right donor for the bone-marrow transplant but it turned out to be that they went to the geneticist instead and get the right DNA for her unborn child, Anna in hoping that she would be the donor for Kate. Interestingly, when Anna was big enough to wonder what her life would be like if it weren't tied to her sister's, she actually sued her parents for the rights to her own body. Menarik la jugak citer ni but I haven't get the plot unravelled yet.

And.. hurmm.. what else? Oh ya, just like 0z said 'Sekarang bleh bakar buku econs!'. Haha.. but I'm not that bad to bakar buku econs la kan but I'm sure gonna completely put it aside :) It's been a good 2 sem course with mr c0nque$t and somehow, I'm kinda miss his class. Heh.. And by the way, I received one unexpected message from @zmir, my former housecapt. wishing me luck for my exam. Teharu ar gak. Huhu..

"..Sadly, the protracted search ended yesterday night in complete and utter failure. Yet even in certain defeat, the courageous Dina secretly clung to the belief...that life is not merely a series of meaningless accidents or coincidences. But rather it's a tapestry of events...that culminate in an exquisite, sublime plan. Ultimately, Dina concluded that if we are to live life in harmony with the universe, we must all possess a powerful faith in what the ancients used to call "fatum" and what we currently refer to as destiny.."
“…you knew, these would always be a spring, as you knew the Seine would flow again after it was frozen. When the cold rains kept on and killed the spring it was as though a young person had died for no reason..”
