L.O.V.E., R.O.S.I.E.

“Rosie,

I'm returning to Boston tomorrow but before I go I wanted to write this letter to you. All the thoughts and feelings that have been bubbling up inside me are finally overflowing from this pen and I'm leaving this letter for you so that you don't feel that I'm putting you under any great pressure. I understand that you will need to take your time trying to decide on what I am about to say.

I no what's going on, Rosie. You're my best friend and I can see the sadness in your eyes. I no that Greg isn't away working for the weekend. You never could lie to me; you were always terrible at it. Your eyes betray you time and time again. Don't pretend that everything is perfect because I see it isn't. I see that Greg is a selfish man who has absolutely no idea just how lucky he is and it makes me sick.

He is the luckiest man in the world to have you, Rosie, but he doesn't deserve you and you deserve far better. You deserve someone who loves you with every single beat of his heart, someone who thinks about you constantly, someone who spends every minute of every day just wondering what you're doing, where you are, who you're with and if you're OK. You need someone who can help you reach your dreams and who can protect you from your fears. You need someone who will treat you with respect, love every part of you, especially your flaws. You should be with someone who can make you happy, really happy, dancing-on-air happy. Someone who should have taken the chance to be with you years ago instead of becoming scared and being too afraid to try.

I am not scared any more, Rosie. I am not afraid to try. I no what the feeling was at your wedding - it was jealousy. My heart broke when I saw the woman I love turning away from me to walk down the aisle with another man, a man she planned to spend the rest of her life with. It was like a prison sentence for me - years stretching ahead without me being able to tell you how I feel or hold you how I wanted to.

Twice we've stood beside each other at the altar, Rosie. Twice. And twice we got it wrong. I needed you to be there for my wedding day but I was too stupid to see that I needed you to be the reason for my wedding day.

I should never have let your lips leave mine all those years ago in Boston. I should never have pulled away. I should never have panicked. I should never have wasted all those years without you. Give me a chance to make them up to you. I love you, Rosie, and I want to be with you and Katie and Josh. Always.
Please think about it. Don't waste your time on Greg. This is our opportunity. Let's stop being afraid and take the chance. I promise I'll make you happy.

All my love,

Alex”

Finally I did it.

Yes, I have finally finish this damn chick lit book written by Cecelia Ahern. It was fantastic and madly in-love with her writing style. The phrases, sentences are easy to understand as we scan with our both eyes. I just completely love the simple love story and I was so grateful to have this great opportunity to finish it.

The book was practically sending online messages, invitation letters and of course postcards. Very 90's style but charming and warming. As each chapter goes by, I felt as I'm growing along with Rosie. It felt old when she reach the age where people start to retire and start up plans for travelling. This book had taught me about giving deep thoughts of self-confidence  in life and believe in love. 

The part between 20-30's is the most challenge age gap, when Rosie facing difficulties of financial crisis, unemployment, and unfortunate events that completely nearly ruin herself. However, she is truly blessed to have people for giving good advices , building more elements of positive vibes for her own mind. Alex, on the other hand is a completely mess of his life for not being brave enough to confess what he felt for to his long time best-friend since 7 years old. As far as we know here, I can only say a small mistake could lead to a big problem and that problem leads to dissatisfaction. 

There is always an opportunity/chances for anything. It could be selfish for us not able to grab it but there is nothing wrong for us to continually for chasing after it.

Chasing Dreams...

Last but not least, as quote:

" Mistakes is the portal of Discovery."

Slowly. but surely.

Ok, for my next read is Devil Wears Prada, I am a Cat, and another Singaporean novel written by Low Kay Hwa. Please bear with me and also I need to push away my bad habit of procrastinating. 

Toodles.
