Xin chào 🤓
Đây là review cuốn The cost of living 🪴

「Dogs love their friends and bite their enemies, quite unlike people, who are incapable of pure love and always have to mix love and hate in their object-relations.」

Một tối đang nằm lướt facebook, Chi bắt gặp bài đăng thông báo giải Femina 2020 cho tác phẩm nước ngoài được trao cho 2 tác phẩm của tác giả Deborah Levy, một trong 2 cuốn đó chính là ‘The cost of living’. Thế là Chi đi đọc em nó, chẳng nghĩ ngợi gì nhiều.
Như anh em có thể đã biết, em này là một #workingautobiography, nằm cùng series ‘Living Autobiography’ với ‘Things I don’t want to know’ đã rất nổi tiếng.
Cuốn sách mở đầu bằng một câu chuyện khá mơ hồ, dù thế cũng không khiến người đọc cảm thấy lạ lẫm hay khó bắt nhịp. Mình đã rất ấn tượng với những câu từ của câu chuyện đầu tiên, rằng 「…if we want a happy ending, it depends on where we stop the story.」Tới phần thứ ba, cũng chính là câu chuyện thứ 3, mọi thứ bắt nhịp với thực tế, cũng là lúc tác giả kể lại những trải nghiệm thực sự của cuộc đời bà. Ly hôn, chuyển nhà, cho tới những ngày tháng ở chái nhà bà tới chỉ để sáng tác cùng những chuyến gặp gỡ đối tác, độc giả và đọc các phẩm của bản thân, mọi thứ đều được tác giả tái hiện lại một cách chân thực. Tuy gần như không có một chút gì hư cấu, lời kể của bà luôn pha một chút châm biếm và hài hước nhẹ nhàng. Ngay cả trong những khoảnh khắc có vẻ buồn bã hoài niệm như khi bà nhớ lại về mẹ, từng lát cắt cuộc sống vẫn đem lại một cảm giác cuốn hút và cũng đầy ngẫm ngợi.
Mình khá thích những hình ảnh mang tính biểu tượng được tác giả sử dụng trong mỗi phần. Những cơn mưa, những quả táo rơi xuống mái của chái nhà vườn nơi bà ngồi sáng tác, từng trái cây lăn xuống mặt đường,..mọi thứ đều giản đơn nhưng lại ấn tượng vô cùng.
Chung lại thì em nó là một cuốn rất lôi cuốn và đáng thử, dù hoàn toàn không có chút giật gân hồi hộp nào cả. Sau cuốn này Chi nhất định sẽ đọc tiếp các cuốn khác cùng tác giả, thật là vui khi lại tìm được thêm một tác giả với nhiều cuốn hứa hẹn như thế này.

「After a while I asked her where she was heading.
It turned out that she was going to have breakfast with her friend Nisha, who happened to be a photographer.
‘We’re broke so we order one full English. Nisha takes the bacon, sausage and one egg, I take the mushrooms, tomato and the other egg, we share the beans and hash potato.’
‘That sounds like a good arrangement,’ I said, ‘but isn’t the hash potato American?’
‘Yeah, it’s a full English with a special relationship with America. But to be honest I prefer a hash brownie to a hash potato.’
We wished each other a good day and I made my way down the hill to my writing shed.
The shed was winterized. It was now warm. I had laid down two kelim rugs on the floor, but I had no desire to domesticate my workspace. So far, apart from ten books, my computer and various journals, there was not much else in my shed.
A candle in the shape of a cactus.
The ashes of Daisy the Dog of Peace.
A Mexican mirror framed with small ceramic tiles.
A blue wooden chair.
A green writing chair covered in two sheepskins.
The freezer.
A long lamp with a concrete circular base and a silver-tipped bulb.
A green and yellow striped umbrella.
A packet of nuts and raisins.
A radio.」

I freaking hate the thought of facebook and i constantly want to restart my journey with all these online social expressions, reflections and interactions, etc...
But sometimes, i rethink... lets say, on a good day like today, after hours of listening to podcast, when i opened FB and bumped into a post from an old colleague, i smiled... a real smile! So cute! so silly! Honestly ive been refusing to look at the bright sides of things, i should release my tension...
The post is just a few lines full of “cheese” he dedicated to his gf: how he cant imagine living without her, that she changed him etc etc... and thats it! Hahaha, but i honestly feel so happy for himmmm!! We worked in a Chinese restaurant together. I remember he was all about working and gaming...he was always single while always in a mood to discuss on love-related topics, analysing his views and his rules on relationships etc..like, he’d been preparing his whole life for someone to step in and experience it w him.
And now he has a soul to walk with and share everything❤️
I smile and i’m truly happy and grateful that i am here in another country but managed to be on track with this stage of his life 🙆🏻♀️ ( even though i might go in and comment later like: “mannnn this is too much, get a rooooom” hahah...) Anyway, happiness is the first thought i had reading that, so innocent, so me! Sometimes things just happens to push me to live truly and to realise life is so simple..
Just a post to capture this thought and to remind myself that I gotta lead myself to the right state of mind ❤️ less judgement, less tension, less labelling, less talks, more writings, more smiles, more appreciations, more actions..
towards myself and anyone.
Smily Kim.

#GIVEAWAY RM1688 Here comes my final review for my @Blueair_malaysia Pure Fan after using it for almost 3 weeks now. I guess everyone knew that My biggest enemy except for scary bugs, it’s always DUST! My skin reacts to dust really quick and it’s why I bought my first Blueair air purifier when I first moved into my new #ChanwonHOME
I amazed with all its air purifier and it’s so well designed in Sweden and have been ranked as the “The World’s Best Air Purifier” So one of the problem came after I moved in to my place, I only have one ceiling fan at my living area and hence whenever I’m having my meal at my dining area, without the air con I feel sibeh hot. So I thought of getting a stand fan or fan that look good in my space.
Ended up i decided to try on @Blueair Pure Fan! It’s a Purifier Fan(fan that comes with a filter behind it) and a big plus point is its Scandinavian design, which i love the most because it’s perfectly match with my home aesthetic. And most importantly, it helps with allergy relief especially my sinus and skin problems.
Next because my space is quite small I prefer something that can be move freely from tabletop to floor. It also comes with Highest dust/pollen removal feature which can be place in any room as it also helps to maximum cool and clean air circulation.
Not just that it also comes with a washable fabric Pre-filter which can change color according your preference and it also comes with the indicators which tells you when to change your filter too.
I’m a happy user as it really helps to solve my problem and it is exactly what I needed for my home. Now we are giving away 1 unit of Blue Pure Fan & what you need to do is just:-
1. Like & Follow Blueair Malaysia Facebook & Instagram account
2. Tell us why you want to win a Blueair Blue Pure Fan?

Lyrics:
Baby
親愛的
I’m not running from the casualties
我不是在逃避磨難
‘Cause it might hurt, but it’s not bad for me
有可能會受傷 但那對我沒什麼
‘Cause we’re living in a masterpiece
因為我們生來便是傑作
Lately
最近
When life is moving way too fast for me
生活節奏對我來說快了些
I’ve been taking off my mask to see
我摘下面具試圖看清
That we’re living in a masterpiece
我們鑄造輝煌
We built houses on top of all the hills and mountains
我們在所有的山頂建起房屋
But I’m not scared to fall from here
但我毫不害怕跌落於此
When I have your hand in mine
當我緊握你手之時
Maybe we’ll look back and
也許我們會回首
See our dreams from far away
遙望當初的夢想
That we had all that we could need to be happy
這樣就擁有了快樂所需的一切
If we could do this different
如果我們行於殊途
We would choose it all the same
我們還是會做出相同的選擇
Cause we have all that we could need to be happy
因為我們擁有了快樂所需的一切
We could need to be happy
我們可能需要開心點吧
We could need
可能需要
Baby
親愛的
When our world was falling painfully
當我們的世界山崩海裂之時
And there was nothing left to make-believe
沒有任何東西可以讓人相信了
I stayed with you, you stayed with me
我和你並肩 你和我攜手
Changing
改變著
All the ways I thought it had to be
用盡所有我想要的方式
‘Cause I don’t have to live so tactfully
因為我不需要活得那麼瀟灑
Oh, we’re living in a masterpiece
我們生來就是傑作
We built houses on top of all the hills and mountains
我們在所有的山頂建起房屋
But I’m not scared to fall from here
但我毫不膽怯從這裡跌落
When I have your hand in mine
我緊握你的手
Maybe we’ll look back and
也許我們會回首
See our dreams from far away
遙望當初的夢想
That we had all that we could need to be happy
這樣就擁有了快樂所需的一切
If we could do this different
如果我們行於殊途
We would choose it all the same
我們還是會做出相同的選擇
Cause we have all that we could need to be happy
因為我們擁有了快樂所需的一切
Oh
Oh, I’m happy when I have your hand in mine
握緊你手的時候我多麼開心
Maybe we’ll look back and
也許我們會回首
See our dreams from far away
遙望當初的夢想
That we had all that we could need to be happy
這樣就擁有了快樂所需的一切
If we could do this different
如果我們行於殊途
We would choose it all the same
我們還是會做出相同的選擇
Cause we have all that we could need to be happy
因為我們擁有了快樂所需的一切

你應該從…… #臭豆腐 上學到什麼重要的人生哲學?
今天我想介紹大家我的一位老朋友。 他是我搬到台灣後遇到的第一批人之一。 他很誠實、很冷靜、善於觀察,他對台灣提出了很多有趣的觀點,因為他12年前就從美國來到台灣。
在這一集中,你會學到臭豆腐教大家的寶貴一課。 另外,如果你是外國人與台灣人約會,Josh 會跟你分享,送什麼禮物給她/他的家人是禁忌。 不幸的是,他不得不以艱苦的方式學習它。是什麼讓 Josh 在台灣待了 12 年(而且仍然沒有離開)。 此外,我們將討論為什麼台灣人如此熱愛 #美國 ,以及 #台灣 是哪一個世界上排名的第200名(非常最後......)。
還有一件來自台灣、很棒的禮物 ,只是Josh 只看到過一次(再也沒有看到過)。 也許你知道在哪裡可以找到它,所以下次他可以把它帶給他的朋友和家人 :)
