In the Oxford School Dictionary, "Justice" is defined as 'being just: fair treatment'. Bullshit. In my dictionary, Justice is not about giving that terrorist the death sentence. In my dictionary, Justice is not about jailing that rapist. In my dictionary, Justice is not about punishing that boy who bullied that girl. In my dictionary, Justice is about fighting for yourself: Just for yourself. In my world, Lady Justice doesn't do her job; I do her job. If I am born a deer, I will hunt and kill tigers. If I am born into a poor family, I will rob the wealthy of their riches. If I am born without legs, I will break everyone's legs. If I am born hearing impaired, I will slice of everyone's ears. That is Justice. My name is Lilith Ng and I am HIV-positive.

At the back of the book:
Before I met you, I wondered why all the lyrics in love songs were so exaggerated: Why do lyricists create such mushy and overemotional sentences? Why can't they just write a good melody without those melodramatic lyrics? That is plain exaggeration. Before I fell in love with you, I thought romance novels were just so silly: Why would a person cry for another person for hours? How could a person wait for his lover for years? That is plain silliness. Before we became a couple, I thought romance movies were just so stupid: How could a person love another person so deeply that it became an obsession? How could one sacrifice so much, even to the extent of his own life, for his lover? That is plain stupidity. When I realised I had fallen so deeply in love with you, I finally understood that songs, novels and movies are just reflections of life, inspired by the writers' true stories. Because when I decided to end our relationship, I realized that our story mirrors a love song I once heard, a novel you once read and a movie we once watched.
