Well after crying my eyes out for about a week or two now, I have finally regained back some sanity to write this post that I've been dying to post and I'm just genuinely hoping this won’t turn into a sob fest. I wouldn't really consider this a book review because I suck at that so this is me expressing my love for the a Divergent trilogy.

Divergent started out a little slow for me as the author spends a lot of time crafting the background story of the city and explaining about the faction system. While I appreciate that this information is pretty much pivotal to the storyline, I felt that it could have been pared down a bit. But after about fifty pages it really began to pick up steam, and, after that point, it was incredibly hard to put the book down.

So the book started off with the aptitude test where every sixteen year olds have to undergo to know truly the faction they belong in. Tris's results were inconclusive and that was where she learnt that she was a Divergent and what a threat she is to the society though she never really understands how. The next day would be the annual Ceremony Day where sixteen year olds have to pick which factions they'll join. Tris finds it truly difficult to choose because of the dreadful dilemma - to choose to stay with her loving family but a boring lifestyle or in a fun and fearless lifestyle but of course, leaving the family behind. But in the end, she followed her heart and sizzled her blood over the scorching coals to affirm her membership in Dauntless. The next few days will be what we called as a probation or a test but to them it's called initiation. Throughout her initiation days, she made new friends, friends whom she felt closer to as compared to her old friends back in Abnegation. 

And that was where she met Four. Handsome, built, stern, mysterious and beautiful Four. He was her instructor. And this where I'll stop talking about it because I will most probably spoil everything and also end up bursting and drowning in my own pool of tears. 

Now, for the characters. Oh my gosh. Four and Six. Tobias and Tris. My love for them is unconditionally and irrevocably unreal. The love they shared was truly heart-warming and Tobias never ceases to make me melt each time. I'm sure their relationship is what everyone yearns for. Or at least what I yearn for. I mean, let's be realistic here, who else would melt if their boyfriends never give up on them? 

In the beginning, I loved the idea of them against my better judgment. Yes, he was her instructor. Yes, he was a complete asshole. But he was so mysterious and hot and the teenager in me was easily won over. Throughout the course of the trilogy, the relationship went through many ups and downs. But somehow it turned out to be something really beautiful. 

This trilogy has many twists which will definitely leave you to read on. And of course, leaving you in tears. 

"Just one more." 

It's such a beautifully heartbreaking book. One of which I'd definitely recommend people out there to read. It really gives out a good message, a haunting look on the future. So many learning points can be derived from this trilogy. Bravery and sacrifice were highly emphasised and regarded in this book. But most of all, this trilogy has shown me what family and forgiveness really mean. 

Read it guys, go.

The movie comes out at theatres tomorrow and my heart is bursting at the seams of joy. Can't wait for it!!! I don't think words are enough to express how exhilarated I am!! My excitement system is operating at full capacity. And the cast is perfect. Shailene Woodley as Tris. Theo as Four. Ansel Algort as Caleb. Kate Winslet (or Rose from Titanic hehe) as Jeanine. Maggie Q (or Nikita) as Tori. Sounds pretty promising.  

This is so me

And now since I've regained my sanity and healed from my book hangover, I can move on to my next trilogy - The Maze Runner. I've just started and I'm already hooked. Dylan O'Brien as Thomas. YES. The trailer just got released yesterday after a heartbreaking episode of Teen Wolf. IT'S FREAKING AWESOME GUYS. 

Sooooo I just got back from my camp a few days back!!!!! I was pretty skeptical about it at first as the  weekly meetings sounded like a chore to me. But I'm so glad I didn't back out. With these newfound friendships strongly forged, I can honestly and proudly say that it was the best three days in my life for 2014 and 2014 (so far). From playing dog and bone on soapy sheets to hanging out at the airport till late midnight playing 24 (some kind of math game. It is so fun I swear. Or maybe it's fun to me because I'm Asian. HAHAHA) I have got to say, you guys are the best. Sabre sabre saaaabretooth!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

And my wonderful class 1/5. Oh how you little munchkins have grown ever since the start of the year. You guys have bonded so much. All the cheer practices paid off because they've emerged as champions. I'm so proud of them. And my nomination for Haizul as best camper was a success. Driven and funny and self-motivated, that little kid deserved it. I support it with every fibre of my being. Miss you kiddos. 

So now I have finally started working again. Not in Ferragamo but in Pandora. It's a love-hate relationship, honestly. The staffs are all friendly but nothing compares to my homies back in Ferragamo. We were more than colleagues. We were a family. I do not wish to rant any further because I'm sure you can roughly imagine what I'm going through. But of course, in spite of what I've said, I like my Pandora people. They're genuinely kind. Shoutout to Amira at my Tamp store. After a week of working at Tamp, I was transferred to Suntec. And on my first day of work, she flipping visited me. I felt like crying and siiiiggh I love you Amira. 

So now, like Tris, I'm in a rough dilemma. To continue to work and earn money or stop and be broke but at least I'll be happy. Such conflicting thoughts. 

So on my first day of work at Suntec I went back to MBS to wait for Syazana so that I can go home with her and while waiting, I decided to pay Ferragamo a visit. Everything felt so nostalgic; I can honestly swear I nearly teared. I miss Ferragamo so badly. I've been working at Pandora for two weeks now and it's actually not so bad. But of course, nothing beats Ferragamo. 

I'll never stop comparing won't I. 

I JUST WATCHED THE MOVIE. IT WAS SO GOOD I HONESTLY TEARED. 

Sure some parts were cancelled but I honestly think it did the book justice. Tobias was sexy as hell and sigh it was so good. I honestly don't mind watching it again. And I honestly actually hate watching a movie again. Like for example, Catching Fire. As most of you would know, I'm an avid lover of the Hunger Games trilogy and I don't know why but I just can't bring myself to watch the movie again. But for Divergent, OMG CAN SOMEONE JUST BRING ME TO WATCH THE MOVIE AGAIN???????? 

ITS FREAKING GOOD. 

Period.
