Didn't expect myself to be back posting. I'm currently reading To Forget You. Another great story (probably), by Low Kay Hwa. I've read I Believe You, which I am planning to purchase sooner or later. And I might just purchase that as well. Best if I could find some one to share the cost with. Anyone interested?

Well for insights, those who have not read either of the two books mentioned above could start by going to, www.GoodyBooks.com - Goody Books - Words That Speak, Stories That Touch. An indeed I Believe You had touched me in my previous attempt to read it, cried if you didn't know about it. Great plot and story.

And so, why am I here? Just to post about this? Not really. I'm gonna highlight some scenes or quotes that I came across in To Forget You.

The utmost pain in this world is not breaking up with you:
It is remembering the love that we once shared, yet there is no likelihood to revive this love once again.

That day, when Mrs. Wong asked us what a fishball is made of, I gasped aloud, as I had just told you during recess time that you looked like a fishball. A few of my classmates raised their hands. You were one of them.

“Zhi Jie!”

I shivered, and felt my blood running throughout my whole body. I did not raise my hand!

“What’s the answer?”

I did not even know what lesson it was. I tried to make out an explanation: Was it made of fish, or was it made of soccer ball? I was supposed to give an answer, not two, and something triggered into my mind. I smiled and looked at your direction. You were staring at me, your hand still raised, still grabbing on to the opportunity to impress the class.

“Fishball is made of Fang Ling. Mrs. Wong, do you know who Fang Ling is?” I said. A few classmates laughed. Mrs. Wong lowered her eyes and twisted her head a little, an expression of confusion. “There.” I pointed at you. “That’s Fang Ling. Doesn’t she look like a fishball?”

Everyone laughed, and that was when I first saw you shedding tears. Do you know that as you cried, I was hoping so much to run to you and wipe off your tears, but I had no tissue paper so I just ignored you? And after that, I promised to myself that if you were to shed another drop of tear, I would wipe your tears off personally, whether or not I have a tissue paper with me.

“Tan Zhi Jie! Where are you going?”

I turned and saw Miss. Teo at the threshold of the classroom. My legs froze. I was still three steps away from my table.

“Why are you always walking about?” She shouted. I turned to face her. You were staring at me with a smirk, like a look of victory.

“Fang Ling treated me to eat fishballs at her table.” I replied. “But I prefer to eat my own balls.” I then walked towards my table like nothing had happened. I did not understand then why Miss. Teo sent me to talk to Mrs. Raja, a school counsellor, after that.

Shall take my leave now.
