the food of insecurities

behind almost every confident, beautiful woman, there lies an insecure little girl that wakes up when she least expects it. we dont really like this little girl, and we never actively encourage her nonsense, but its something we live with every day. most of the time we know we're absolutely fabulous, but there are moments we feel like absolute complete crap. dont ask us why - we just do.

so the next time you men see an opportunity to make a woman feel pretty, spot some chance - no matter how trivial - to quell this silly insecure girl, TAKE IT. please tell us you dont care for the big boobs and perfect ass no matter how much you know you are lying - we know you lie too, but the fact that youve made the effort to bluff is sometimes enough.

chinese makan shop

at a chinese makan shop, it is perfectly acceptable to crash a table that has a few seats unoccupied. once you arrive and cant find a free table, the next best thing is a table with maybe one or two people sitting at it. you then walk over, ask if you may sit there, and proceed to have your meal in complete isolation from each other.

so if you see a bunch of people looking intently at their food atop white plastic tables at your nearby chinese coffee shop, its not that conversation has been held up by the meal - although knowing malaysians that scenario is also likely - its just that they may well be complete strangers, and only in each other's physical proximity because they need to eat.

dont you think that's wierd? in a special, only-in-Malaysia kind of way?
