"My Sister's Keeper" ~ everything begins from Page 464


Any of you guys read or watched the story ? Page 464, that's where everything begins to tear you down.

Tell you what, I don't ready read fiction books, only during my school days. I believe it will waste up my precious time. Analytically.

Apparently, I'm being rational (er hem..), reading something that does not assist me in my life, or realistic towards my days in this earth, I refuse to get involve or participate on it (ahhh, no wonder I dislike playing computer games, not realistic at all) . Please don't misunderstand me as a cold-blooded, selfish or boring guy. The reason is simple, I just wanna to utilise my precious time practically. Why then, that I read this novel ultimately?

I decided after reading the plot printed at the rear cover of the book, it goes this way :

Anna is not sick, but she might as well be. By age thirteen, she has undergone countless surgeries, transfusions, and shots so that her older sister, Kate, can somehow fight the leukemia that has plagued her since childhood. The product of preim-plantation genetic diagnosis, A........bla bla bla. Maybe you guys can browse through the net, you'll got a lot of synopsis of the whole story.

Well, putting myself into the shoes of the character in the story, nope, I should say, the characters in it, I tried to tackle an answer of what will be my decision having to go face & go through such circumstance in life. So, I decided to find it from this dramatic story. Of course, this caters a very practical excuse for me to read a fictional book.

The write managed to control the storyline very well. Just that too may coincidences happened in within. Yup, and I did learn something from the story.

Presumably, it will give me an heartache from the very first few chapters up till the end, but this page-turners author, Judi Picoult successfully thrown you a almost ending suprises 。

Everything only begins from Page 464, that's where my eyes become watery. . .Find out by snatching a copy of this novel home from your nearest bookstore.

The end.

Ibrahim labels Chinese as ungrateful

Huh . . another childish talk ...

PETALING JAYA: Perkasa president Datuk Ibrahim Ali has labelled the Chinese as ungrateful for not voting Barisan Nasional despite its promises and pledges to help the community during the campaign period for the Sibu by-election.

In a statement on the Perkasa website yesterday, Ibrahim, who is Pasir Mas MP, claimed the Chinese voters in Sibu had not appreciated the promises of projects and financial assistance made by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

“The Chinese voters didn't appreciate what has been given by the Prime Minister to them, for example, his support for vernacular schools and so on.

“The Chinese voters openly supported the DAP policies. The Chinese voters want their own ways to prevail, despite the bumiputras having to 'swallow' the Barisan Nasional's call for compromise to allow the Chinese community to have their wish,” he said here yesterday.

It was the second such statement by the controversial independent MP after his earlier statement asking the Government to delay development for the Chinese community after Barisan Nasional won the Hulu Selangor by-election last month.

MCA publicity bureau deputy chief Loh Seng Kok, meanwhile, challenged Ibrahim to come up with more constructive statements on how to realise the 1Malaysia concept instead of questioning the Chinese support for Barisan.

“Does Ibrahim Ali have any recommendations on how to resolve the people's grievances?” Loh asked in a statement yesterday.

5th Year You'd Left Us, Papa

May 12th.

Today, marks the 5th years anniversary we cherished your existence in our heart.




How's everything up there, Papa ?


I asked this because we all know the world of the other end, which belongs ultimate eternity. That's why I asked, Papa.


It's the fifth years that we dependable to thin air across oceans & universal to keep in touch, as well through thoughts and sentiments to link with you. Oh ya, in the dreams across numerous quite nights.





You might had asked the similar question "How's everything down there, son?" Yet, everytime I think of it, I perceive that is no more essentially answerable towards you.




Freakingly speaking, I were always pondering what would be my world if you would to leave us, leaving mom, brother and me and your eldest grand-daugther, and stranger-to-you second grand-daughter of yours.




And, dear Papa. This, I thought over frequently, and man, they happened somewhere within the final few hundreds day of the earthly world, before your departure!! Looking back, I reckoned that was my sixth sense reminding me of what-would-be futures days with you no more with us.



Its kinda harder for me striving for ends meet. This year, marks the 3rd year me unleashing from the normal employed routine lifestyle. Believe me, I'm much more better then, compared to the initial years of my self-employed livelihood.





Mum seems to be like a tape player, off and on, she will press the "replay" button, pouring out the same stories. What does she do on those narrations, well, mixtures of complains, reminisces as well as complementary phrases on how our life with Papa around use. She's fine, anyway, so, no worry. Though not as lively as you were that time but we perform the best brother & me used to provide the care & tenderness towards Mum.


Everything seems to change in this earthly world. Climate is one of the hot topic aorund the globe ~ well, that's why its been addressed as Global Warming.


Bet you feel relieve huh, getting off from the heaty issue, coz I am of strong believe that heaven is equipped with natural air-conditioners, ha ha. The air is cooling there rite? You used to set your air-conditioner to 20 C (cause that's the lowest offered from the remote controller :) ), so, what's the celcius you get up there? Phew. . . the experts say the rise in temperature will still continues for a certain period even if the entire world switch off every single bulb and electronics for a year.

Our street in front of the house was ironed with the white strip now. I hate that cause it give me a feel of staying in a ongested urban area. Ridiculous indeed !



Our roundabout outside the main road near to the church had already been converted to a traffic-lighted junction. I remember clearly we passed through here, when we escorting you on your final route of life. It was still a roundabout, but in the mid of constructing it to become the present cross junction.





Even Jesus Caritas Church had been reconstructed to become a proud nice and scarcely found locally with its aisle built hall. Though we aint Lord's disciple, but, somehow I feel proud that we have such grand kinda church in the town, just a few hundred meter walk from our house.



I know I don't worry on your part as well. I do understand, who wanna be feeling to miss the world over here, when you would most probably already gotten used to he lifestlye and environment of the Eternity world, rite? Haha.



How is Uncle Lok, Uncle Ng and the rest. We used to be gathering in the temple last time. Especially Uncle Lok, he is just your perfect buddy, as charming and joyous as yourself. We were worried with his illness, Papa you were still here when that occured. Should I use the word 'alas', he left us one year after your dismiss. The environment regardless in or out the temple is never that fun anymore in the absence of both of you.


Nevertheless, its time for you guys to enjoy your real golden years, with accompany of many immortals around you.



Till then, Papa, we love you forever.
