btw, last week was quite a sad week. after a day learning that a fellow blogger is fighting death in ICU, she finally died.. due to a metastatic breast cancer. she suffered the disease for 8 years. she wrote her experiences in her blog.. i cried for her for two consecutive days.. and today, reading elviza's writing (blog: write away) an obituary on her brings back the tears.. may Dalilah Tamrin aka Raden Galoh be placed in Jannah. you can visit her blog and read all her wonderful posts at http://onebreastbouncing.blogspot.com/ and at facebook.

selama menyepi ni, i have been reading. lately, i would ensure i read at least a few pages before going to sleep. lepas baca buku utk sofea, i would read to myself, sambil tunggu mata ngantuk. tv pun dah jarang tengok, kecuali rancangan kanak2. dan i'm back into games. haha.. tapi now dah mula rasa boring ngan game tu coz dah succeeded in revealing almost all the puzzles.
i managed to finish reading a book last week. it is 'the time traveller's wife'. wah.. cerita ni sungguh best. it's a love story actually.. but written in such a sweet and wonderful way. kan i pernah kata, i tak minat romance novel, but this is different.
it is about a librarian, Henry, who was born with a genetic disorder that causes him to 'time-travel' unpredictably. bila2 masa je dia akan boleh travel either to the future or the past. and he couldn't control it.
dlm masa dia time travel tu, dia jumpa ngan Clare, who was only 6 y.o at that time, and he was 32. entah macam mana, dia selalu dapat time travel to see clare. and he watched clare grows, from a little girl to a young woman. bila clare dah 18, dia dah tak jumpa clare lagi. clare grew up waiting for the guy to come from the future. he would turned up at a meadow near her house and they would chat and do her homework together. and clare silently admired henry, and wished that they would really be with each other in the real time, somewhere in the future.
they only met in real life when clare was 20 and henry was 28. they married each other. but life after that was not easy. kalau masa kecik, clare was always waiting for henry to come from the future. bila dah betul2 kawin, clare has to bear with his absence as henry would time travel bila2 masa je. and he would be away for a few minutes or even days and weeks.
another problem was when they decided to have a child. it was difficult. clare kept on having abortions, one after another. finally they went to seek help. found out that it was a genetic problem. and the cause of abortion was because the fetus was time-traveling. after 5 abortions, henry finally make a decision for vasectomy sbb dia tak nak clare suffer the pain of abortions anymore. he made the decision alone, and clare was really upset when she discovered about it. she wanted a baby. but clare got pregnant again, she conceived after meeting a younger henry from the past, yg blm buat vasectomy. and kali ni the pregnancy was successful. as it runs genetically, their daughter also time-travels.
the last few episodes were really sad.. knowing when you have to go and leave your loved ones. henry was shot while he time-traveled... and after the death, clare was still waiting for henry to come from the past. isn't waiting such a torment..?
it was really touching and sad. terisak2 kita menangis malam tu before tidur.. sampai bengkak mata the next day. it's a beautiful love story, about two people trying to adapt to their differences. having to cope with life difficulties which is far from expectations. ain't life full of surprises?
"true love stories never have endings, for love should never ends.."
