“They say that the machine (jackhammer) is broken, and will take another few more weeks to be repaired. And I couldn’t wait because I need to finish this soon, so I thought, why not just start with something?”

“I get so tired by the time I reach home – as an instructor I hardly want to do a pole dance for my boyfriend, haha, because I’ve been seeing poles the whole day already!”
“Besides, you’d need a pole at home”.

“We were working at the factory in Muar, Johor, before moving to KL a long time ago.
“I have three kids now who look more Chinese than Malay – and
wherever they go, shops or schools, people will think they are Chinese – and they can speak Chinese.
“They all eat Halal food, and they all can speak both Mandarin and Malay and my youngest child, he can speak Tamil! At the mamak (Muslim Indian restaurant) at Brickfields, the Indian guy was confused, how can a Chinese speak Tamil?
“At first my wife didn’t want all the kids to go to a Chinese school. She said, its ok la, how about two kids go to a Chinese school and the other one to a National school. And I said no cannot, I want them all to go to a Chinese school. And they all did.
“Now while I’m reading an English newspaper, my kids are reading Chinese newspapers like Sin Chew and Oriental Daily.”

“We are walking the length of various countries to raise awareness about positive environmental and humanitarian projects. We completed a 1110km walk through Peninsular Malaysia from Johor to Perlis.”
“Why did you decide to walk?”
“I have been walking all my life, Nomadic Lion is my dream. Walking also allows us to travel slowly and interact with all different types of people and see all different types of environment. We travel slowly giving us time to take in each culture, environment and tradition.”
“What was the most memorable moment?”
“Each project has had thousands of memorable moments, something memorable happens every single day. That is the beauty of our journey, we never plan and we never know what is around the corner.” – Humans of Kuala Lumpur

Questions like “will I lose my virginity if I use my tampon?, will I be a whore if I am on contraception? What does it mean when you say I want to keep my baby? What about getting married, what does it mean, and child marriages if your body is not ready?”
“I don’t tell a kid that this is halal or haram, it is not my business – my business is science and biology, I’m an educator and am objective. If a child comes to me with a problem and says that he/she masturbates too much, is that a problem? I’ll tell them no. But then they say that God says if you do it too much you go blind. Scientifically there’s no correlation between masturbation and being blind”.

Her: “It doesn’t have to be fancy or crazy – just cute and special. I just want us to spend quality time together.”

“They are offering me RM 20,000 a month, as I was in charge of marketing last time. But I said no. Because one thing that I regret as I look back, was that I missed seeing my kids growing up. I wasn’t there for them, as I had to travel a lot to Japan and many other countries. You work, you work, and drink a lot after work, and make tons of money. Before I know it, they’ve grown up. And its not like I need the money… I have enough to live comfortably in retirement. Unlike young people, I’m not running out of money, I am running out of time. Finally I get to enjoy my hobbies and see more of my grandchildren. And being a taxi driver, makes me happy. You know why? If I want to wake up anytime and start working, I can do it. And if I don’t feel like working, I don’t have to. I am my own boss.”

“I would tell myself to not trust anyone. I believed in this one guy. It’s kind of personal…I believed in all of his promises, and he lied to me. I believed in him so much. It took my one whole year to get the truth out of him.”
“So will you never trust again?”
“It’s the first day of the new year, I don’t know. Maybe there will be people I can trust, maybe not. But…this time, I’ll take more time to get to know them before I tell them anything.”

Wishing you all a better year ahead with all that Malaysia has gone through in 2014.
