SICK
I'm sick.
First of all SORRY BIO PT GROUP {Filzah, Jieying, Liy} for blanking out & resting for damn long periods of time towards the end of the project -the panic part-!
But we did quite a good job! I saw the video on inet, lol. Bite size. Really adorable.
& SORRY FILZAH'S SISTER! & ATHIRAH!

So I slept a little in the morning, & finished Incantation by Alice Hoffman! It's one of them books that I like, though the writing wasn't super captivating till it made me cry or anything..
Not even during the evil burnings. But it was still nice & full of meaningful quotes!

AND, andandand...
One takeaway is to learn from the way they behave (manners, respect for elderly etc), & their bravery, omg. Cos we seem pretty darn rude & shallow as compared to the teens in Incantation.
The kids respected their elderly so much, & they also feared them.
Now we're so blunt & demanding. Stepping on their heads. Yeesh, what happened?

Bravery? Do we have bravery? Bravery starts with sensitivity i guess, & like, putting others ahead of yourself. (& not being selfish. Which i've been guilty of. :\ Ekk) Not caring about what would happen to yourself too much. And sacrifices.

Okay but then again, the worst situations sort of bring out the best in people. Like, if we had violence, then maybe heroes will start emerging. Not that we want violence or any traumatising situations to occur. So never mind la. What am I talking about. WHAT am i talking about??
Kay. Of course we can have bravery. Even without bloodshed.

Later I'll rest some more, read my Pengantin Luka book, & try do some work if possible. (Wow, sounds like chickenfeet. Haaaa.)

Here's a nice book called A Little Piece of Ground by Elizabeth Laird.
About things we don't have to experience.


Review:
"Sometimes we need more than escapism. No one but Elizabeth Laird could have written this book. She has lived in the Middle East. She knows it, loves it, grieves for it, and hopes for it. Read it, and know what it is to feel oppressed, to feel fear every day. And we should know it, and our children should know it, for this is how much of the world lives." Michael Morpurgo, British children's laureate
Review:
"An unflinching account of life under Israeli occupation." Glasgow Herald
