This gave him a curious feeling that he'd never quite experienced.

Something like indigestion but quite a bit more...pleasant.

~Ian Kabra, The 39 clues, book 3

Jiayi introduced me to the 39 clues and now i'm completely addicted to Amy and Dan's adventures!!! Ian & Amy look so sweet together...awwww. Oh well, I've decidedly decided to stay single for the rest of my life till i meet someone like Campbell Alexander in My Sister's Keeper or Ian Kabra from the 39 clues.... ever noticed that they're all fictional characters? Wow...I finally understand why Agatha Christie is so famous le...her books rule!!!!! Currently trying to read Detective Poirot series before advancing to Ms/Mrs Marple...Detective Poirot is pretty conceited...Finish 3 in the series so far...in a record 3 days...5 - 300 pgs books- in 3 days! And no, I did not skim through! I'll punch you if you even suggest that! i just skipped my Hw, didn't study and read during dinner,while bathing, during recess, math and Chinese that's all...Grrrr...

Have anyone read Forgotten Fire? It's about the Armenian Genocide? Omg, I really enjoy reading survivor accounts of the various wars...they do make me shed some tears...the stories usually tell of how they survived the war while everyone they knew died a terrible death. It may sound fictional...the grotesque killings by various dictators....you may find it hard to believe that such people truly exist in the world, but it's true. Your neighbour, with his kindly blue eyes and free sweets might actually be planning the extermination of a million Armenians...I don't get it really, why are ppl like Hitler so bias towards other religions? So much that they'll stop at nothing to exterminate every single of the religion? What did they ever do to them anyway? You can't judge an entire religion just because of something a single black sheep did! I don't think that the Armenians and Jews deserved to die...It's unfair!

I'm sure some of those more mature peeps interested in history and politics might think that an amateur sociologist/ political scientist like me am only spouting nonsense, but I must discuss this as part of my learning... I read the revolutionary Animal Farm last year, that got me interested in Marxism...it sounded nice at first, I mean like preventing the exploitation of the working class and a class-less society. Preventing men from dominating women is a plus too=PThen I realised that Marxism = communism....right? But then they are different branches of Marxism...are they all radicals? Definition of communism = Communism is a socioeconomic structure and political ideology that promotes the establishment of an classless based on common ownership and control of the means of production and property in general. That's good right? But my mom said that Communist don't usually follow their own rules...a.k.a they rob from the rich to provide for the poor. This isn't nice. I am not naming examples but you should be able to guess the countries...What about Capitalism and liberalism then? I am really interested in this type of stuff...so please let me know if you have more info. :D
