Malay cooking is tedious - so many ingredients, dicing, blending, purée, sauté, spices, mixes, balancing strong flavors, mostly “agak-agak” (no fixed recipes). So raya open houses are very special. It’s like “I poured my heart and sweat into these dishes and this is all for you”

I can get behind this. When we go to Korea, we put on hanbok and take photos. When we go to Japan, we wear kimono. We have beautiful things here, too. My only suggestion would be to do indoor photoshoots in old Peranakan houses instead of jalan2 Jonker sbb panas la wei panas

Unsolicited career advice: Work your butt off in your 20s. Forget about work-life balance & all the other BS you hear about. You're still young, can test yourself physically & train your mind to work under long, intense pressure. Identify limits, have fun & keep fit for energy.

You have to show 2 dose vaxx certificate to go eat at a mamak store, mainly outdoors. But you don’t have to show one to return to university in October, indoors and air-conditioned. There are no guidelines on ventilation. Good luck to us

I said goodbye to Kuih today. He stopped being himself this week, stopped running to me when I opened a can of tuna. It was time. We gave him a quick and painless death after ten wonderful years together. I wish I could’ve done more. We will miss him forever. Rest well, buddy.

Kuih is very sick with kidney failure and we didn’t think he’d see 2022 but here he is. We are waiting for him to signal that he is ready to say goodbye. So far, he’s still doing his cat thing. He’s been a good friend and we will try to give him a dignified death.

Some people commenting on the sad exchange rates for Malaysian ringgit don’t really understand how global markets work 😅

The wife of Stockton Rush, the pilot of the missing Titanic tour submarine, is actually the great-great-granddaughter of two first-class passengers who died on the Titanic, records show. A fictionalized version of the couple is even featured in the movie.

We went to the playground today with our toddler. Another little girl came with her dad wearing a pretty, fluffy pink dress. After the girl left, our 2 yo went: “Where did the princess go??!?” Daddy: “She went home to her castle.” Toddler: “Wow 😯”

Your weekly reminder that no amount of financial planning in the world can alleviate the sufferings of somebody who just doesn’t have enough money to even feed themselves

Take public transit, people say - tho I have seen 0 evidence that we actually have the capacity to cater to, say, 25% of car drivers switching over to trains

Malaysians supporting the Palestinian cause but [not supporting our country signing the UN Refugee Convention + accepting more refugees here + (biggest +) awarding equal human rights to citizens such as the right to work and path to citizenship] - your words ring hollow

This is really ridiculous. The amount of racial and religious tension in this country is truly off the charts. My heart breaks for a Malaysia I yearn for, which is not this one

KK Mart and one of its former suppliers are expected to be charged tomorrow with causing religious offence, in connection to the controversial socks bearing the word Allah. Malaysiakini was made to understand that besides the two companies, the charges would be levelled against

Given how badminton unites Malaysians more than any unity program ever conducted ever, I suggest we divert resources to supporting badminton players more and slash budgets for nation-building programs 😛

I think we forgot how bad Covid was. So many ppl died every day. Parents ripped from young kids, harrowing stories of pregnant women gasping for breath, large groups of old people, rare but still happened kids deaths from MIS-C. Ex ante: any approved vaccine was a good vaccine

Somebody pointed out to me that feelings can always be mixed. You can love someone with your whole soul but realize that they have so many things about them that you hate or would like to change. Similar to tanah airku. A hard, hard place to love.

Today is the last day you can renew your drivers license without a penalty - they will make you retake your exam or something if you don’t. Check your wallet - I was unpleasantly surprised 😂

I'll never forget how our country decided to allocate the AstraZeneca covid vaccines through panicked booking online - only for people who live in urban areas (KL and Penang?) - like you'd allocate Taylor Swift concert tickets. What even, man

Anyway. I dream of a Malaysia that has such excellent universities that parents don’t immediately prefer sending their kids abroad. That we are very competitive globally, so that even parents who can afford paying three times over, send their kids locally. Dreaming is free
