Life is divine chaos. Embrace it. Forgive yourself. Breathe. And enjoy the ride – Solbeam

I love that quote. But then I found this book. Muchas gracias Abang Tariq! Yes, it’s extraordinary stories. I should admit that I’m falling so hard with this book… hik3 lalala5

The 18 stories are simply adorable. It’s combination of inspirations, spirituals, and religious. It incredibility beautiful and amazing touch of art, advice, humor and stories - a real KNOWLEDGABLE! You may adapt it quickly as every single story was written with simple English. In fact, every story is what we are. This book comes whenever I’m lost. It gave me something that I really need – I need to change!

I like them erm, nope… I truly madly fall in love with them. But of course the Secret 18 was really inspired me. A story about yesterday; I’m that naïve. A story about today; here I am… and a story about tomorrow; If I still alive…

Words can’t describe my feeling. Therefore I can’t write anything as I don’t have any comment except read this book and react - life is an open secret… yes! Think about it. Keep it in your mind. Keep it deep inside in your heart dear.

Ps: Lama tak menulis. Rasa-rasa mesti penuh dengan grammar mistakes lalalalalala…
