The book that I was referring to on my last post.. has this very sweet convo..


Jane was asking " So, if I am so uninteresting, why did you...why do you live with me?

The reply was "Your wild-mushroom risotto, perhaps. Or the way your hair springs up at the front. Your smile. Maybe it's because you don't cramp my style, you know how to give me space... Or because you've offered me a chance to be a father again without ramming it down my throat..."


He frowned and tried again. " I suppose I live with you because I am happier with you than I would be without you. Yes, that's it, it's like Cyril Connolly said, if we want to be happy we must select the illusion which appeals to our temperament and embrace it with passion. And you are my illusion. You are my illusion of choice."

That was so sweet I tell you. The " live with you because I am happier with you than I would be without you" part. So simple, so sweet. (=

Aisyah came over to my place earlier on, and we talked about a lot of things. Really a lot. One of our topics was on religion because she's currently attending this religious class. And I learnt a lot of things from her, things I never really knew about even when I was attending church and cell group and receiving bible study eons ago. Come to think of it, my attending of church regularly was something done almost a decade ago. (I don't wanna ramble about how time flies yet again)And at that time, it wasn't really commitment, it was just like a routine. Went for the sake of.. I don't know what. It triggered me tonight, after so long, to make a little prayer to God, to thank him for everything. This religious class that she is attending now, seems really interesting, and has absolutely intrigued me to find out more about religion, God and prophets. Maybe i'll borrow a book on it the next time i head to the library. And also made me want to make praying a daily thing, just to thank God for every little thing.
