my life in sentences…

So close, no matter how far

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.

Hello!

I’m a big fan of Paulo Coelho! You will love this! He’s the first best-selling author to be distributing for free his works on his blog:

Have a nice day!

Kak Gee! Nineteen minutes is a must-read. My Sister’s Keeper by Jodi Picoult should not be missed too. They are very cool books. I read 19 mins in US and it made me feel as though it was written in reference to the shooting incident by the Korean student in Virginia Tech. haha. tell me what do you think. take care. hugs
