“My ancestors have lived in Southern Thailand for so long that we are now Thai people and I consider myself as such. Every month I would take the train and bus all the way to KL to sell these. Some of us can still speak a little bit of Malay and life as a Muslim in Thailand is really tough. We are struggling with money. But whatever happens, even if Malaysia seems like a better place, I still will choose to live there.”

“You’re young, you’re a good person and if you find a good woman, go and marry. If you don’t have money, that’s fine – the both of you can work together and help chip in to the costs for the marriage, for example. If the girl wants to marry you for your money, then that’s not love. Its love when the two of you get together because you love each other, and will work together to build a better future for the both of you. You should never fall in love because of money”.

“It ain’t for style. It’s actually pretty hot and I love Brazilian culture. They’re an open people with an open culture and as an environmental sculptor I like bringing ‘organic’ more into the urban lifestyle. We need more ‘green’ in this city life of ours.”
“And do you think Malaysians should wear this?”
“All Malaysians should wear a cowboy hat because its hot! Also because there’s lots of crow birds….”

“Today’s my last day with family and friends which is why we’re having this BBQ party”.
