Quotes

We all nod in agreement with wise words men said, quoting those which resonated with us. Giving advices, acting as if we are experienced. But I wonder how many of us is able to apply them in their own lives. How weak they felt deep down when they faced the same situation and experienced the difficulties themself?

Easier said than done. Now, that's the word.

Thoughtful, all of a sudden.

I once read a peculiar book, about a little boy named Christopher whom suffers Autism. He is very good in maths and logics, but not with people and emotions. He hates people who touches him. This story particularly left a very big impression and I had to buy it. Haha. The author used a very interesting way of delivering the story.


The book is called 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time', written by Mark Haddon. It is about Christopher trying to solve a case of a dog that died in his neighbourhood, in which he eventually did, in a most interesting way.

"My name is Christopher John Francis Boone. I know all the countries of the world and their capital cities and every prime number up to 7,057.
Eight years ago, when I first met Siobhan, she showed me this picture
and I knew that it meant "sad," which is what I felt when I found the dead dog. Then she showed me this picture
and I knew that it meant "happy," like when I'm reading about the Apollo space missions, or when I am still awake at 3 a.m. or 4 a.m. in the morning and I can walk up and down the street and pretend that I am the only person in the whole world.
Then she drew some other pictures

but I was unable to say what these meant.
I got Siobhan to draw lots of these faces and then write down next to them exactly what they meant. I kept the piece of paper in my pocket and took it out when I didn't understand what someone was saying. But it was very difficult to decide which of the diagrams was most like the face they were making because people's faces move very quickly.
When I told Siobhan that I was doing this, she got out a pencil and another piece of paper and said it probably made people feel very
and then she laughed. So I tore the original piece of paper up and threw it away. And Siobhan apologized. And now if I don't know what someone is saying, I ask them what they mean or I walk away."
A boy with a very simple mind, living in this complicated world. Oh well, I was thinking how will it be, if everyone is thinking like him. This world will be relatively simple, but how boring will it be then? Hmmm... I have no idea why I'm writing about this. just stumbled upon it and leave me pondering. Hmm..

Ramblings

Testing testing.
*Trying out a Blogger app in my phone (Blogger-droid).

This is my first time blogging without using my laptop, wonder if it works. The reason why I am blogging from this tiny screen of my phone's is because, my laptop is SPOILT! It's been almost a week now. Brings heartache everytime I think about it. All my important data and stuffs are inside! I hope there's a way to fix it without erasing everything. :(

Oh well.. Thanks to the advanced technology nowadays that I'm still able to online using my phone. Dear phone, although I think that you're crappy sometimes, but, I'm grateful for your existence! >.<

And this reminds me, there's a problem with my camera's memory card too. -.-
Yes, I've gotten a new camera, the Lumix LX5. Hehe. But now, it has trouble reading my memory card! Prompts me to reformat the card each time. That wouldn't be a problem if the memory card is not full of pictures I took recently, which I couldn't backup to my laptop because its spoilt! I'm stuck! Grr.

Anyways, results are coming out tomorrow! Hopefully, bad luck is not around me anymore. Grr. Gonna pray hard! Wish me luck.
