the gift

time is not to be given, time to be shared
...

thanks to Carol, i finally finished reading both books that she gave me for Christmas. i like both book, not really soaked into it, but, easy reading always great right after we finished the whole book.

one of the two is the gift by cecelia ahern. i might share the same opinion with my fav blogger, red scoot, on this book. it's a so-so book, not the chic-lit book that would glue me to it 24-7. cecelia is not really in my favourite. which reminds me, up until today, i still haven't finished reading the novel-turn-movie p.s. i love you.. the movie was too good to be spoiled with such a boring dragging torturous novel!

back to the gift, i must admit that it's true when she said time is not to be given, but to be shared. we often heard and used the statement "ok, give me five minutes".. fact is, we share that five minutes, the giver and the taker.

as i'm writing this, my dear hubby is on his way back home. gosh, it's been a while, without realizing. and at least, that what most of people would say.. "eh, it's been a month dah? sekejap nye.".. me, on the other hand, is planning for the next twenty five days to ensure that it would be fulfilled as wise possibly, no wastage on the limited time given for us to be shared until the time when he'll be flying off back to work :(

without realizing, another month and another year, and that's it..

so, God have granted us 365 days a year,12 months a year, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, 60 seconds an hour.. until last october, i've lived up to 17bill seconds of my life. how bizzare would it sound when we keep complaining that time was never on our side?

Lou, the main character in the book, was lucky to be given chances to say goodbye to his loved ones, despite his horrible irresponsible attitude as a hubby, father, brother and son. I doubt that i would be that lucky!

Really need to appreciate what i have in lines!

the writing style is easy, but weird.
