The Innocent Man

Im feeling sleepy, but i couldnt sleep, so i decided to write this entry. Im going to give a review to one of my favourite novel, The Innocent Man by John Grisham. This is kind of interesting story, the non-fiction and based on the true story.

Since this was a true story, Grisham was using actual court transcript. The way the case was handled was completely slip shod and pathetic and makes you wonder at the possibility of truly getting justice, in real life.

This true story, is about the main accused, Ron Williamson, who was framed by the law enforcement, as the murderer of cocktail waitress, Debra Carter.
Ironically the police used forced dream confessions, convicted felons as snitches and witnesses, junk science and any dubious means to get him convicted. Williamson got the death penalty.

I started out reading this book, knowing that the main accused was innocent. But, even someone who didnt know some of the data presented here, could have seen that this was a wrongful conviction. And even though the case came up for appeal multiple times, each person upheld the original wrongful conviction.

Hence, i think, Grisham is s good writer.
'If you believe you are innocent until proven guilty, this book will shock you.'
'If you believe in death penalty, this book will disturb you.'
'If you believe criminal justice system is fair, this book will infuriate you.'

Holiday moment

I'll never forget the first time I walked out onto the Grand Canal, Venice. It was love at first site. It was December 2011, and i was on my first trip. Firstly, i thought, this is a very romantic place, honeymoon place. Gondolas bobbed in the water, while larger motorized boats ferried passengers for a more budget-fare. Actually i got a chance to ride the gondola and it was breathtaking.
It seems like i was so in love with this romantic, one-of-a-kind city. This experience never materialized, and while I dont necessarily want to live in Venice, I do feel an increasing desire to go back and see this city again.
The next day, I continued on to Lake Como, and eventually Florence. Indeed, this city has a very beautiful scenery and view. Not to forget Verona, city of Romeo and Juliet. I had a chance to walk along the San Siro Stadium also. We managed to go to Lugano,part of Switzerland.

And Rome as well, which I visited before Venice.Italy's grand capital completely overwhelmed me at the time. I made it to the Colloseum, St Peter's in the Vatican City, The Spanish Steps and the Trevi Fountain. I was fascinated by the Italian Renaissance in their arts and architecture.
I also went to Milan, an Italian city like no other. It's a historic city, with a spectacular cathedral, ancient churches, and galleries. There are also cafes and bars to relax in, and the place is very contemporary, represent the leading edge of italy's fashion and design industry.

So, as a wrap i really hope one day i can go here, as a backpacker. I could pick a base, maybe set up camp in one of the many rental apartments in Rome, and further explore the central and southern areas of the country.

What do you think?

Monday

Kuasa Allah itu besar kan.terbukti didepan mata aku skrg.rasa yg terjadi smlm, blm tentu lg harini atau esok ada rasa yang sama. Allah lebih berkuasa. Selalu aku berdoa, pernah menangis dan beristikharah memohon petunjuk Allah. Memohon ketabahan hati.memohon kekuatan diri.baru skrg aku mendapat kekuatan itu, ketabahan itu.walaupun dr dulu aku belajar bertabah, br skrg rasa itu makin kuat. YaAllah tiada apa lagi yg ingin aku pohon drMu melainkan berilah yg terbaik utk diriku.

Just a thought.

There's always this feeling of being under appreciated, used and forgotten. We give and give till there is nothing else and then we get hurt. Not that we expect a thing in return, or anything like that. It's just that it really hurts when we've been forgotten so many times after we have cared so much for them. When we are left out even when they are always on the top of our list. .when we actually mean nothing to them even when they are our number one priority. It hurts.it really does. Its like you are nobody after all. You know, i dont know if u've ever felt like that. At times i feel like i wanted to sleep for thousand years. Or just not exist. Or just not aware that you do exist. Or something like that. I know, wanting that is very morbid, but i want it when i get like this. That's why im trying not to think. I just want it all to stop spinning. But, i didnt understand then. That you could hurt so badly she would never recover. How could a person can, just by living, damage another human being beyond repair? How can you be so mean?
But i need to learn from my past and shut the door behind to live in present. Our past is just like a dry rose, which was once a rose with all colors of life, with sweet fragrance, with soft petals.. With thorns..but now it is left with only thorns, which COULD STILL HURT. But i want him to promise me, that he wont forget our laughs, our jokes, our conversations, our smiles, our plans, our tears, our memories and our experiences.
Someday, i'll forget the hurt, the reason i cried, and who caused me pain. I will finally realize that the secret of being free is not revenge, but letting things unfold in their own way and own time. After all, what matters is not the first, but the last chapter of our life which shows how well we ran the race.

One day you will realize how much i was there for you, when im gone.

Cuts deep inside.

I stopped by to see you..just the other day.And I wanna say that I finally realized,the words I love you don't mean a thing.It's so hard for me to see because you meant everything to me 
But I guess I gotta move on,
Even though it hurts I gotta be strong.
If you don't wanna love me, don't love me.
If you don't wanna touch me, don't touch me.
Cause I don't want you to do anything that you don't want to do.And if you don't wanna miss me, don't miss me.if you don't wanna kiss me, don't kiss me.Cause I don't want you to do anything that you don't wanna do.

Who would've known that on the days that you were busy on your own,all alone I'd lay awake in my bed.and i know that someone else was making you happy. I refuse to believe,that you never ever loved me but I've gotta move on,
our love is gone and this house is not a home.

You can't be lonely,but didn't have to make me 

think that you'd always be here.You said that you would be there but you are not.

Ive been hurt and wounded so deeply by you. You will never know cause you will always smile eventhough when im gone. 

Soon you'll be finding love.

Today i feel like writing. Yeah, dh masuk tahun baru 2013 dah..masing2 dgn azam baru, impian baru, and mcm2 lg.aku? Aku pn xtau ape yg aku harapkan utk tahun ni.i was hoping for a miracle since last year but nothing happened yet.i dont know..aku berdoa agar tahun ni lebih baik dr tahun lepas.tahun lepas, 2012, byk bnde sedih happened to me.ade yang gembira, tp aku byk bersedih last year.mcm2 dugaan datang.. Mcm2 berita dgr..menjadikan aku kuat..yeah, once i was so strong.i try to build myself up again, alone.i tried to be strong.susah mmg susah. Smpai skrg rasa tu blom hilang lg.org xpnah rse, xtau ape yg aku rasa. Aku mayb nampak happy kt luar, tp dlm hati Allah je yg tau. Aku xtau tahun ni dpt tak aku jd lagi kuat and tabah.aku berdoa sgt2.. Agar Allah makin kuatkan hati aku ni terima apa saja berita and dugaan. Tu je impian 2013 aku.
Sedih ble tgk kwn2 lain happy and aku xdpt happy mcm diorng. Sedih ape yg kte nak kte xdpt.lg sedih ble aku sorng je yg terpaksa pendam rasa sedangkan org lain rasa gembira and happy.sedih ble aku kena mengalah.ni semua ujian. Ble rasa sedih and teringat, always berdoa dan buang rasa marah dlm hati and doakan kebahagiaan org yg kita syg.

I just want you to know who i am

I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehowYou're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now.

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life'Cause sooner or later IT'S OVER.
I just don't want to miss you tonight..

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand!When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am..

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
 you bleed just to know you're alive..
