缘分是什么东东嘛。

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

A book I'd like to recommend and share... (Thanks Joe!) Well, I personally like what I read, but not sure about the others. My sister finished the book but she has a very different perception, she thinks it's boring and doesn't get what it's trying to get at. It's about following your dream... Pea, that's why I am asking you to read this too!!

I love the ending, because it made me laugh. Well, like most of the time in life, sometimes you go about and realise you're back where you were... Doesn't it sound like my adventure to the UK and now being back in SG, but what have I gained over the time I spent over there??! Too much. Lots of good things and lots of bad... enough to make me now a different person looking at the world with a new perceptive. Indeed, I think I have heeded the omens which led me back here... but will it all end here - I definitely don't have an answer yet!

I also want to quote 2 phrases from the book that left me an impression:
pg 16
If someone isn't what others want them to be, the others become angry. Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own.
pg 18
... a certain point in our lives, we lost control of what's happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate. That's the world's greatest lie.
