最近早上在讀 Sally Rooney 的新書 “Beautiful World, Where Are You”
Sally Rooney 前兩本書《正常人》和《聊天記錄》之前討論度很高,但我對這兩本的故事背景比較沒興趣,再加上最近待讀清單實在太長,所以一直在觀望中。但最近在書店看到 Rooney 這本新書,封面設計可愛不說,讀了背面書籍介紹一下就被打中,於是買回來拜讀:
“Alice, a novelist, meets Felix, who works in a warehouse, and asks him if he’d like to travel to Rome with her. In Dublin, her best friend Eileen is getting over a break-up and slips back into flirting with Simon, a man she has known since childhood.
Alice, Felix, Eileen and Simon are still young- but life is catching up with them. They desire each other, they delude each other, they worry about sex and friendship and the world they live in. Are they standing in the last lighted room before the darkness, bearing witness to something? Will they find a way to believe in a beautiful world?”
20 歲大半時間,我和身邊同齡的朋友們,從封閉的學校系統被拋到廣大的世界後,常常也產生這種四顧茫然的情緒。有段生澀的時間,常常感嘆生不逢時,對比已經逝去的年代,總覺得我們的時代如此貧脊,卻沒想到我們是身在其中,對於過去不過是戴上了玫瑰色的濾鏡。
於是一眾對於「意義」感到焦慮的年輕男女,在世界的遊樂場裡玩耍,試探微妙的男女關係,挑逗早該塵封的過去,希望與幻滅交替,時而擁抱生命時而質疑所有...... 像站在霧氣濃厚的懸崖頂端,離危險很近,像站在刀尖上,卻對那尖銳的腎上腺素感到著迷,同時屏息等待著,等待雲霧散去之後,揭曉世界究竟是醜陋還是美麗。

childhood friendship 在 Facebook 的最佳解答
My MLGPON partner Anis asked a question about the THERMOMIX over her FB page as she was genuinely curious to know why the yays or nays of this "German All-in-One" Smart Kitchen. It made me rethink my story and how I got onboard first as a user ...and months later...as a Sales Advisor.
I now lead a growing team of 18 Sales Advisor. We started #DVaromas 3 periods ago (give or take, 3 months ago). It's been a fun journey so far, especially since it gives me creative sanity that helps with my "main" job as a content creator and presenter host.
It's a long read, but I want to share it here too.
Pons Story with Moe
So here is MY story.
I'm not a big fan of cooking - simply because my ego was bruised many a times when my attempts to cook curry and sambals were received with a rather (though constructive) "meh" from le hubby who was surrounded by good cooks throughout his childhood.
But my curiousity was piqued when I kept seeing posts about the Thermomix and how good it was. My bestfriend Wyomia Tsai shared how the TMX was able to cook low GI rice for her husband Stephen Ong who has diabetes (and she is not an advisor so her sharing *felt* more authentic).
However, with the MCO, heavily pregnant, no helper and getting pretty sick of ordering food when le hubby craved for his Tom Yams and Fish Head Curry, I felt the urge to buy it. The problem was? The pandemic did not just take away lives, but livelihoods too. With my last stages of pregnancy (and I was warned by my doctor to take it easy), and event cancelled or postponed left right centre - finances were tight.
So I was a bit #dengkike with the posts of friends and celebs posting their units up. I even made a parody video using my TAMBUNAN MIXER to show that my pressure cooker could do the job making my favourite Beef Stew. BUT lama2, I could not tahan.
I researched the shit out of it and told Azmi, I WANT THE THERMOMIX. He said NO. "Are you bloody kidding me? The unit costs RM7k???"
BUT DAPHNE IKING BAINI.
I found a way. When you want something really badly, you WILL find a way!
I told Azmi, IF I find the money and NOT touch our savings ... can I get it? He said jokingly, "go and sell your handbag".
I didn't, but what I did was I contacted Wyomia. Asked her how much did I have in Young Living Comms that I have not touched (she's been asking me to build the YL business, but I was already overwhelmed with projects and preferred to just be a user. However, I was on essential rewards program for some time because I'm a fan of EO and Ningxia drinks, so I had quite a bit of savings there).
I cashed that deposit out and paid my unit in cash! I've not regretted the decision and was happily sharing my TMX journey with my followers.
Almost a year later, Anis approached me asking how IS the TMX "Is it really as good as it claims? What's the business model like? Show me". I was already a consultant with Norwex then, so I had NO interest in another networking business. But Anis ni ... she's my business partner for a reason. I chose to team up with her (MLGPON) because I trust her business acumen and her strength is numbers.
We were neighbours and continued to develop our friendship despite her move to London and now Jamaica. So she became Chairman, and I became CEO of our MLGPON biz. And here we are, 3 months into the Thermomix #DVaromas business and with her guidance, I am now the Junior Team Manager for DVAs.
I am passionate not just about this smart all in one kitchen, but my growing team too. While Anis looks at numbers, I look at the other rezeki I've found in this journey with TMX.
I love cooking and baking again (So much so, that I'm reorganising my kitchen) , no longer ordering in (except to show support to some local entrepreneurs) and the love and friendship I have gained... MASHAALLAH! That is priceless!!
And my marriage?
The man who was sceptical about this gadget asked whether we should invest in another TMX.
"So you can cook solo for your demos when your SAs can't commit".
He's been such a champ helping our team with the technical side of things so we can run a fantastic cooking demo show, albeit staying safe at home. Just like how Norwex has changed our lives, Thermomix has too.
I only choose the best products to invest in. The ROI owning or earning the TMX is priceless.

愛情36「題」❤️
讓陌生人迅速相愛的36個問題
Time to fall in love?
★★★★★★★★★★★★
《紐約時報》報導:
曼迪·萊恩·卡特隆(Mandy Len Catron)為「現代愛情」專欄寫了一篇文章《如何快速與陌生人相愛》,她在文中提到心理學家阿瑟·亞倫(Arthur Aron)等人的研究成果:兩個陌生人之間的親密關係或許可以通過彼此詢問一些特別的個人化問題而快速升溫。這36個問題分為三組,一組比一組來得尋根究底。
這個理論的核心是,共同的脆弱能促進親近感。這項研究的作者們稱:「同伴之間發展親密關係的關鍵模式在於持續、逐步升級、相互且個人化的袒露自我。」允許自己和另一個人共享脆弱可能非常困難,下面這個練習能迫使你做到這一點。

Welcome back to Qenggai, where I sit down and have a chat with the most special people in my life!
For the last episode of the season (I know! I can’t believe this is the last), I have a very special guest - Yutakis! Unfortunately, we couldn’t talk to each other in person as he is overseas but that didn’t stop us from spilling the tea! Today, we’ll be talking about when I first met him, Yutakis’s ~pretentious~ side, the side we’ve never heard before aka his childhood, how we became Blood Sisters, and his amazing photo books ‘The Flower Boy’s Tale’ and ‘ Portraitist's Book Of Wonders.’
I hope you guys enjoyed this season of Qenggai and loved getting to know the very important people in my life! But, we’ll definitely come back with a new season so let me know in the comments who you’d like to see!
