Ugly Betty Season 2 Ep 1 left me in tears!

and speaking of tears, i've also completed The Kite Runner and now view Afghanistan and kites and twelve-year-old boys in a different light. not necessarily negative, mind you, just an opening of my mind's eyes that can border perilously on the conservative sometimes.

and yes, The Kite Runner is absolutely stunning, shattering and inspiring all at once.

i just thought it was pretty clichéd at some points and the plot was kind of expected. but Khaled Hosseini sums it up in these few sentences (and one of my favourite quote from the book as well):

"..I always thought clichés got a bum rap. Because, often, they're dead-on. But the aptness of the clichéd saying is overshadowed by the nature of the saying as a cliché."
or how about this,

"a cliché is as clichéd as it gets, till it happens to you."
not by Hosseini, but a humble attempt by yours truly years ago :)

off to meet jingting for lunch now!

... a wild flower dies
where it blooms

so let me be
a wild flower

its death shall be
the fading of beauty
