I bought many books today. Too many for my current ‘broke’ status…haha..
Couldn’t wait to read Anne Frank’s. The vivid memory of visiting the holocaust museum always give me this unsettling feeling. Then of course there’s old flame ~ John Grisham, new flavour The Zahir by Paulo Coelho, another must have Jodi Picoult’s of Nineteen Minutes and last but not least, Banana Yoshimoto - still couldn’t comprehend why I have the urge to read her weird tales.
Anyway, on the way back I decided to listen to Moez Massoud…it has been a while. He was discussing about how to gain a peace of mind…and it is all very interesting because lately I’m experiencing some sort of a break down. He explained about how people always feel disappointed when they were unable to achieve their dreams or target. Often enough, we feel upset if we can’t control the things that within our power and our means or when we have tried hard enough. But what we are forgetting is that the power is not ours, it comes from Allah SWT. And it’s not us to decide of the outcome or what we deserve, it’s Allah SWT who knows what is best for us. It’s amazing how he can explain that with much simplicity even someone ignorant like me can understand it. Subhanallah. My explanation lacks the vigor of his wisdom..I urge you to discover about his ideas and thinking.
I shall indulge in my reading…until then.

The thing that worries me is that I submitted my resignation letter today but I don’t feel a thing. That shows how indifference I feel.
I was planning to travel a bit but since I’m still broke from my last trip…haha so janji tinggal janji jer aa nampaknyer. The good thing is we’re planning to go to PD during christmas…bukan sambut christmas pun but another camaraderie’s trip 
that’s the best thing about growing up in residential school. You can rely on your friends to brighten up your life! (when you feel like you don’t have one)
In the mean time, I just need to survive this. Tomorrow, there’s mph warehouse sale…yehaa! well, book does make me happy apart from traveling. I finished reading danielle steel’s ghost over the weekend. I realize that I hate happy ending…haha..pilot’s wife by anita shreve or salem falls by jodi picoult are more appropriate for my life right now. And when you need to believe in love…just pick up love story by erich segal. Amazing. Well, I have aimed my next book but I have to be patient because I have so many left untouched on my book racks. Sal still wishes me a happy book shopping tomorrow though I swear I won’t buy anymore books haha well, like I said that’s the good thing being in a residential school, yup your friend knows you more than you think they do. Ironic.

I have decided to take charge of my life. Well, I’m not an optimist, not at all. Somehow I just need to move on.
My boss told me yesterday that he’ll be leaving soon. Mmph…I’m not sure which is harder. Knowing that he’s leaving or knowing that I won’t have him as a boss anymore. Well, we can’t have it all. I used to have a job that I love but I hate the environment… sometimes. Now I have the job that I don’t hate always but a great boss but… he is leaving. Yeah..life is hard.
Suddenly feel like singing…
I’m gonna make a change, for once in my life
It’s gonna feel real good, gonna make a difference
Gonna make it right…
I’m starting with the man in the mirror
I’m asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
