:World of Oblivion:

Thursday, July 30, 2009Having finished the book by Haruki Murakami moments earlier I didn't felt as excited as I started out to be...Many of you would have had similar experienced... When we started off reading a book (movies, drama or anything), the initial content was slow, dull and pretty much boring.. half way through, you started to get the hang of the writer's language and twist.. as you read on.. you are very much a part of the character.. and the more you read the more you want to find out the ending.. Having reached the end.. you found yourself in a situation where you hope that it didn't came as soon as you wanted.. Many thoughts came through my mind as the book covers came to a closed.. the pages passionately binded each other and as soon as the book came to a rest on the coffee table.. my world went silent.. The chatting of "ah beng stories" from the table next to me, to students in deep discussion in the enclosed mac and the noise from the pipe of bikes broke the silent .. I was in an emotional roller coaster having read this paragraph in Haruki's book ".. but in real life things don't go smoothly. At certain points in our life, when we really need a clear cut solution, the person who knock at our door is, more likely than not, a messenger bearing bad news." How very true this sentence is... life isn't a bed of roses.. things don't just flow smoothly without hiccups, technology never fails to fail people whenever we need them to function on important occasions... the traffic light always seem to turn red on you when you're rushing for time.. Most of the time when these things happened, I slump into uncontrollable fits... my mood became unpredictable and I became a really harsh person overnight.. ever since I've matured with age, I've tried to aim for perfection.. and because I placed a great deal of effort in everything I do, I became rather competitive... not with anyone but with myself.. I know reaching the zenith in every opportunity is hardly possible, but yet I'm still greatly affected by the fact that I'm not able to reach my ideal result and slowly I started to drift.. from everyone and everything.. Having a time out like this makes perfect sense ... it allows me to rest physically and mentally .. I'm kind of addicted to moments like this where I can have the world to myself with no added responsibility other than finishing my book and blogging thereafter. Completing the first biography marks a huge milestone in my 24 years... To be completely honest, I love reading a good book... and I'm truly not a very huge fan of biographies (with due respect) .. due to the fact that I believed everyone has a story to tell and biographies are often stories of how the author had fallen from grace, went through a lot of hell and became where he is/was today.. But this book tells nothing more than how he have given up on his luxurious lifestyle to pursue a dream that just came instantaneously... He stick till the very end with every goals he set for himself and though the going was tough.. he endured it all and break all odds to become an author.. "Having completed a race, you forget all about the pain you've endured to get to where you are.." --- Haruki Murakami --- Louis Chin Louis froze in time on 11:39 PM
