Long Time not here..

Long time not here liao.. so ocassionally come out here to clear the cowebs and stuff... found some comments that's been sitting for approval for quite some time, oops! Sorry.

Anyway, recent events has been rather ... uneventful.. as usual. Bought a new novel 'The Time Traveler's Wife'. The story is a bout this guy by the name of Henry (I prefer to call him Henri [on-her-ee], sounds better) whose genetic clock goes haywire and he keeps travelling through time to past and future, and how he met this girl Clare and both of them tried to lead normal lives, have relationship while coping with his problem.

So far, I am almost 70% through and it's really a good book to read, though his frequent disappearances or 'time travels' gets a bit rather bland after some time to me. It's really romantic, to a certain extend. How she tries to keep up with him and cope with his disappearances for a few hours and back to her childhood days where he gets to participate in events throughout her life even before she knows her... blah blah...

Of course, this is fiction. However, I just couldn't help but imagine what if I were to be Clare.. would I be like her? Willing to marry such a man who's participated my childhood life; put up with the time when he suddenly disappears, and cope with being worried about him or just afraid that he will disappear and never come back? It takes a lot of courage, love, and trust to be with such a man and to lead such a life. That amount of courage, the solidity of trust and depth of love... probably do not exist in this world after all.
