How ungrateful!

It's already past midnight, yet I immediately and subconsciously grab my phone to update my blog to review this wonderful book. 

Starting tomorrow, I will have my two weeks spend on the most relaxing posting ever as the name goes haha- Traditional Medicine.  And to my surprise, my soul-chinggu a.k.a the loveliest, most practical bibliophile I ever know came knocking on my door just now around 10 pm giving me a book to fill in this coming two weeks.  Surprisingly, I could finish this book in about three hours which was totally out of my records as I am well known sort of neurotic reader which most likely unable to finish any books I've read (hmmm,  because I am easily distracted and always have many other things to do hahaha but I love books and that makes me buy one after another without being able to finish them all XD but I will someday,  I'm sure InsyaAllah). 

This book was different. This is the first time I read such book. This book is about the untold stories of the homeless individuals the writers interviewed around Kuala Lumpur.  The subject matter basically people..  no plots, no climax, nothing much on the basis of a single great storyline but the details of each individual's life stories are what all of us should aware and ponders upon. The stories are not that great but the struggles, hurdles are! in which I get mixed feelings while reading this. There are a VERY important truth behind the faces of each people they saw,met,approached and conversed and also an important ignorance plus ungratefulness to be reflected upon by me, the reader. I cried myself out, having euphoria over such a small dream of those homeless, they are grateful enough to have something to eat and a place to stay. 

I don't want to tell everything and get scolded with this #spoileralert. 

But, what I get from this book is that following emotion is not a good bravery, what follows are uncertainties. I am so grateful with my life after reading this book.  How could I say that my life is broken when I still have a family to talk to, education, money, health and so many things that they don't.  How could I, TT how could I TT. 

Thus, I highly recommend those who are struggling now, feeling lonely, who have so much problems in life, those in dispair and lead a stressful life to read this book first before making any decision out of emotion. Just think of this as part of stress-free therapy. I love this book and the photos are magical..  they brought light to the dark.  Congratulations to the writers and those involved in making such an awakening book.  With love to our nation, let's be grateful and help each others out. 🌺
