Xin chào 🤓
Đây là review cuốn The Ghostwriter ✍🏻
#cuddlereads
☕️
「Maybe we’re normal. Maybe every husband drives his wife crazy. Maybe every wife falls short. But it doesn’t feel normal. It feels like we are at war. A war I am losing.」
☕️
「That is how life is, it gives us burdens to carry and doesn’t give a damn about the weight.」
➖➖➖
Tớ đọc cuốn này sau khi đọc ‘Verity’ và được rec là cuốn này có motif giống ‘Verity’, nên lúc chuẩn bị đọc tớ háo hức lắm, xong lại đọc mấy cái review trên goodreads các bạn tây khen plot khó đoán chứ 😂
Và rồi kiểu, đọc nửa cuốn vẫn chưa thấy có gì, Chi vẫn bình tĩnh chờ đợi với niềm tin rằng, Tí nữa là bất ngờ lắm. Không thể không nhắc tới việc tác giả luôn tạo ra một áp lực vô hình, khiến tớ thấy hơi căng thẳng và bật chế độ sẵn sàng với các cú oà trong câu truyện.
Chắc vì thế nên đến đoạn bất ngờ thì tớ không bị bất ngờ lắm, kiểu các phân đoạn tình cảm linh tinh nó làm phân tán sự tập trung của người đọc khá nhiều, nên twist không đủ để làm Chi à ồ.
Câu chuyện khép lại, Chi thấy buồn nhiều hơn bất ngờ, không phải buồn vì truyện chán đâu nhá, là vì cảm giác buồn và xót xa khi hiểu mọi thứ.
Tổng thể thì cuốn này cứ như 1 bộ phim tầm trung vậy, mỗi thứ có 1 chút, kết thì lặng lẽ và buồn nhưng thanh thản. Thế nên để đánh giá tệ thì em nó không phải, nhưng chắc chắn là không xuất sắc, dù plot đúng là khó đoán ra 😂
Anh em có thể thử, hoặc không 🥳 còn ‘Verity’ thì đáng thử lắm, anh em hãy lướt xuống dưới feed xem review nhá 🔞

Helena Parks, tác giả rất được yêu thích với hàng loạt các đầu sách bán chạy, chỉ còn 3 tháng để sống, và cũng là để kể lại một câu chuyện cô đã giữ kín suốt 4 năm trời.
Một bí mật cô thậm chí không muốn nhớ lại..
➖
「“Sometimes people act a certain way that doesn’t match the person that they are inside. There are two different things at play with all of us, at every moment in our life. There is the way we act versus the person that we are inside. The person that we are grows and develops at your age, Bethany. Right now, you are a clean slate. Your personality is growing and building with every interaction, with every decision you make. You may act stubborn, or ill-mannered in one instance, but that doesn’t mean that you are stubborn or rude here.” I place my hand on her chest, my palm firm against the soft cotton of her t-shirt, “or here.”
I move up my hand to her silky head, still damp from her bath. “Some people are just having a misfire of judgment or control. But other people are letting you see a bit of the rotten person inside. Their cruel or stupid behavior is a gift of sorts, because it lets you see the real person that they are beneath.”」

【命不夠好不是沒原因】(English writing below)
There’s A Reason for Your Not-So-Great Destiny
不是每個客人
珍惜改命的機會
當然也不是每個人稀罕改命
遇到比較有禮貌有誠意的
我當然會偏心 大力多幫助一點
人的心,不是本來就偏一邊的嗎?😂
那些超過24小時
都不回覆
又沒有很好理由的
我就挪後
你的命你的家你不急
我這陌生人會為你急嗎?
慢慢來,沒事 ☺️
來訊詢問我服務的人
千奇百怪
有時我有時間
會多聊幾句
想傳達多些訊息幫助他們
從中也看一下他們的耐性
有耐性的
我會接
因為我知道
她他比較會有魄力去改命
沒耐性的
只是一昧要懂價錢的
那就擱著吧
賺錢是很好玩
但這樣的人
我的興趣就⋯⋯
當然那些沒大沒小
永遠不會叫我名字
只是一個私訊
「你收費多少?看什麼?」
也可以擱著
就算在巴剎買菜
都會說:「阿姨,這菜多少錢?」
你讀書時沒學嗎?
我總覺得
沒禮貌的人
不願意學會尊敬人
讓她他命好的用意何在?
我既然能幫你
改命補運
你又怎能一句「謝了」
就覺得有禮貌?
最起碼也是一句「謝謝你」
有的人也很怪
今天私訊叫我師父
明天就叫我季謙
後天又叫我師父
換來換去
好像玩心裡遊戲 😂
我從不要求別人叫我師父
但稱呼我的名字
是人與人之間的
基本相處之道
遇到這種陰晴不定的客人
見了面
難不成還要看她他心情來做事嗎?
新加坡從1979年起
就已有禮貌運動
至今地鐵上依然有
可見我國人民
缺乏這塊人與人之間
相互的尊敬
在家沒有
到學校
小孩就會被標籤「沒涵養的孩子」
在外工作
本事再厲害
也不見得討得同事和上司的喜愛
和伴侶相處久了
也會因為禮貌不好
無法相敬如賓
婚姻問題也就多了
簡單地說
沒有德 無法改命
我的青春很寶貴
不可能救到所有人
因此必須投資在對的人的身上
可我免費的網路文章和Youtube影片
永遠供你閱讀觀看
如果你覺得我跟你
耍太極
我在這裡向你道歉
很多人需要我
如果你態度不好
品行不好
不想改
我不勉強
我只真心希望
還有時間 給你慢慢改
⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯
Not every client treasures the opportunity to change their destiny.
Then again, not every person care to turn his/her life around.
When there are people who are more polite and sincere, of course I would play favouritism and render more help. After all, isn’t the human heart tilted towards one side? 😂
Those who take over 24 hours to reply and have no good reason for that, I can’t hold on to the appointment date for you. So I can only push back to Heaven-knows-when.
It’s your life. It’s your family. If you don’t feel the sense of urgency, why should this stranger feel anxious for you? No problem, take your time. ☺️
I receive inquiries from all kinds of people. Sometimes if I have the time, I would chat more. On one hand, I wish to share more to help them. On the other hand, I want to see their level of patience.
Those that show patience, I will take on their cases. Because I know they have the stamina to change things for themselves.
Those that do not show patience and are only keen to know the fees, I will usually leave them to the back burner. It’s really fun to make lots of money, but I only like to do it when I have interest.
For those who have poor manners, plainly refuse to address me by my name, and only send me dummy messages like,
“How much do you charge?”
“What do you see?”
I will leave it to the back burner too.
Come on, even when you buy vegetables at the market, you don’t holler like that. You are supposed to say, “Auntie, how much is this?”
Didn’t you learn it in school?
A person who does not show manners, and is unwilling to learn to respect others...
I just cannot see the purpose of helping him/her to have a better life.
When I can help you reach your goals and transform something as major as your destiny of the next 10, 20 years or more, saying “thanks” is too casual. You should at least say a “thank you”.
People also behave weirdly online. Today, he/she addresses me as Master. Tomorrow, call me Ji Qian. The day after, it is Master again.
Mood swing to the max? Or he/she enjoys playing mind games? #youthinkIsofree
I never expect others to address me as Master. But calling me by my name is the basic respect in human social interaction.
I am not sure if I meet up with such a client, is the whole consultation going to be dictated by the client’s mood? 😄
Singapore first launched its courtesy campaign in 1979. Till now, it is still ongoing in the MRT trains. This goes to show that we Singaporeans are still lacking in this aspect of moral character and mutual respect for fellow humans.
When the home fails to teach it, the child gets labelled as ill-mannered in school.
At work, no matter how amazing your abilities are, you cannot win the affection of your colleagues and superior with poor courtesy.
And in a marriage, when you have a spouse who does not treat you with manners, there will be no mutual respect and marital problems are bound to be plenty.
My youth is precious. I know I am unable to save everyone. So I choose to invest it in the right people.
However for those that I do not wish to meet, my free posts and YouTube videos are always available for your viewing.
I apologise if you think I am playing Taiji with you. But there are many others that need me. If your attitude isn’t great, your moral character leaves much to be desired, and you have no desire to change, I am not forcing you to.
I only sincerely wish that you have sufficient time to change slowly.

This is the time of the year where I would step out to generously benefit you and your family, hence there is no admission charge. Food and drinks will be on your own expense. But bringing a pair of mandarin oranges and a red packet would be the least you should do to pay your Chinese New Year respect to me.
