went to popular bookshop to browse at books when this title by raphelle giordano caught my eye.i flipped thro,read the blurb and wonder why it was a French best seller for months.it was such a dish it out common sense,full of platitudes and what nots and what ifs.camille a stressed out ,overworked mom with nsrves wrecked bumped into a Frenchman who saves her from a humdrum life and gives prescriptions for her acute routinitis by doing small changes like being in the present,be mindful,dont sweat the small stuff..Camille could have gone on a self discovery journey thro a vipassana meditation retreat to get the same tips.
no waiting around for a smart aleck all knowing French knight to come rescue the damsel in distress.what a fantasy fairy tale with the proverbial fairy godfather figure.
i had some sense knocked into my head when my old high school friends refuse to let me indulge in self pity poor me fest when i recounted my experience with operation n hospitalization.thats the thing about get together with old friends.they dont bullshit you n know you inside out.
whining about the steel screw in my knee,my old friend laugh it off.either you see yourself as a Frankenstein or reinvent yourself as a bionic woman in which case i can give a kung fu kick and break the balls of a badass guy.i love my pal twisted humour.bionic woman is coming,watch out gropers!!@#$¥.time spent with old friends is so refreshing.i miss the camaderie during self isolation of a lockdown.should socialize more often,best antidote as laughter is the best medicine.
bought 3 new books at bookshop as the cheap sale was a bargain.cant wait to read the rationalist richard dawkins book to get a dose of reality.for lunch,i
ate vegetarian rice roll,lovely fragrant cempedak,like a cross between jackfruit n durian but much cheaper,a glass of pomegranate and fed my cheap rm 3 blue siamese fighting fish.the betta.it has been blowing bubbles so time i get a mate for it as he has nesting instinct
