“We hope that there’s no hiding from any embassy, like Russia’s, and we want all parties involved to come out with the real stories. No lying, heightened story behind, just the truth. We all want the truth. Because the passengers of flight #MH17 deserve justice.”

“The project is about colorectal cancer by providing awareness, and then screenings and treatments and this project is funded by Empowered. I am doing this part-time as I wait to go and fly to the UK to complete the remainder of my degree in Medicine. Why am I doing this? Well at the end of the day, it feels good to know that they appreciate what you are doing for them. I’ve formed an attachment with them, especially those I’ve been with since the beginning. They are like my parents now, and it amazes me on how they can cope with all the news calmly. When they go for surgery, it feels like my parents are going for one. And I really pray that all will go well for them.”

“Health is the most important thing in your life. Without health, you have nothing. When I was 5 years old, my father left my mother and me. Because of that, my mom left as well, leaving me to live with my relatives. I was raised an orphan but look at me now! I am married and have several grandsons and granddaughters – things turned out well in the end. Because of my health I have lived long enough to see these wonderful things in life. No medicine is a good as exercise – exercise is the best medicine!”

“Social workers actually do get paid, most people think we do it for free. And we do have to study for it. I took a Masters in Social Work in the United States, before working in a hospital in Singapore dealing with patients that had neurological problems – and finally back in Malaysia. We don’t have a medical background, but we do have a big heart. Social workers might seem like a nurse…but not really, as we can work in prisons, welfare homes, and NGOs as well. And its not as recognized here as it is abroad. There should be more opportunities for Malaysians to be as such.”

“Before this I used to go almost every month and half the year’s gone already! Feels good to go back, even if its just for the weekend. All I’m thinking of right now is to go hiking there! Then back to KL on Sunday, and Monday work starts again. Its crazy. But that’s life.”

“In Pudu jail. About 40 years ago. It was 1973, when I was 19 years old. I was doing drugs back then and I regretted it – I was young and didn’t know any better. I was there for two years and life after has been difficult. I don’t miss Pudu at all, and I heard that it has been torn down. After I got out I had a job as a painter but that did not last. You see this (medicine) pills here? I have been taking them for 40 years already, to keep my health stable. And they’re very expensive! Until now I am unmarried, without a job, and these police here are charging me RM 100 to get a new IC over my broken one, can you believe that? In any case, I tell you, do not do drugs. That one mistake has affected my entire life. Don’t make the same mistake I did. Once you try….. you’re gone.”

“That the Netherlands win this year’s FIFA World Cup! We were so close last time and I am so glad that Spain is out already! Besides that I hope that I get to do my internship in Dubai, at the tallest hotel in the world actually, as I’m in the hospitality field. I want to show that if you work hard enough, control your emotions, and put in your sweat and tears, you can achieve anything that you want, birthday or no birthday. If not, France would be my second choice.”

“Standing long hours is the hardest part – and when we have icky clients. There’s actually a lot of politics, a lot of gossip that goes on between us. Actually, that’s in every place.”
“What do the icky clients do?”
“It’s especially when clients want to take photos with you, sometimes they hug you. And you don’t want to say no because it’s rude. And you can’t be rude because you’re representing the company. But then, I think this happens anywhere as well.” – Humans of Kuala Lumpur

“What’s the hardest part about being a model?”
“The hardest part is…nothing is hard actually. Just to always be prepared, to always look good – because I work with all the collections. It’s just that…it’s me and myself. Hahaha, ‘hashtag deep’.”
