Malay cooking is tedious - so many ingredients, dicing, blending, purรฉe, sautรฉ, spices, mixes, balancing strong flavors, mostly โ€œagak-agakโ€ (no fixed recipes). So raya open houses are very special. Itโ€™s like โ€œI poured my heart and sweat into these dishes and this is all for youโ€

Oh my. Please donโ€™t do this. If you work your butt off in your 20s - youโ€™ll enter your 30s with a host of mental and physical health issues. Burnout is so very real. Weโ€™ve been conditioned to just keep running - when we should be sitting down. Seriously.

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.

I wish reading wasnโ€™t such an expensive hobby. Walked into Kino briefly and walked out poorer, it felt. Every damn time Since private buying of books - libraries are substitutes, I also wish that we had better public libraries here

DG Hisham has shown that press conferences can be done in a mask. Lecturers and teachers have been teaching for hours in masks. Small children, like teeny tiny humans, are now trained to keep on a mask for hours at a time. Entahlah

PSA: Schools are open. Children are back. Weโ€™ve vaccinated barely 0.1% nationally. While the economy reopens, please keep this in mind - SLOW THE SPREAD. Limit activities in public. INFECTIONS ARE STILL HIGH. Do not get used to 1-2K per day as being โ€œgoodโ€ - it is HIGH.

Canโ€™t talk about diversity without talking about discriminating against minorities, which Malays arenโ€™t ready to talk about yet, so, well.

You have to show 2 dose vaxx certificate to go eat at a mamak store, mainly outdoors. But you donโ€™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 couldโ€™ve done more. We will miss him forever. Rest well, buddy.

Kuih is very sick with kidney failure and we didnโ€™t think heโ€™d see 2022 but here he is. We are waiting for him to signal that he is ready to say goodbye. So far, heโ€™s still doing his cat thing. Heโ€™s been a good friend and we will try to give him a dignified death.

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: โ€œWhere did the princess go??!?โ€ Daddy: โ€œShe went home to her castle.โ€ Toddler: โ€œWow ๐Ÿ˜ฏโ€

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.

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 donโ€™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

I think Iโ€™ve said this before but I once asked a Nobel Prize winner what was their secret and he said: โ€œI am very privileged, got VERY lucky and was at the right place at the right time.โ€ I donโ€™t think he was being coy or malu2 kucing here - I think he meant it & it was the truth
