27 Sept 2025, LAKAR. Manning my booth. Told Dr Zambry, Minister of Higher Education, my books are in the Malaysian high school reading list and entered into British Library. They're already at MPH Bookstore and Eslite Spectrum, and major bookshops worldwide.

27 Sept 2025, LAKAR. Glad to see poet Mohd Faiz again. Got to know the Perakians: poet Wang Tao, author Mamu MK Hasny. Got to see Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir, Minister of Higher Education Malaysia, (also Pangkor native) reciting poetry.

Homecoming, 27 Sept 2025. Did a reading of The Keeper Of My Kin at Laman Karya Lumut during a Perak Library poetry event. The bit about the were-tiger eating the soldiers during WW2. That's me dressed as one of the Radens (who can command 'servants' and turn into a tiger).

You follow me, I follow back, thank you. Note: I'm writing so hardly on social media. Also, when on social media, I follow silently and rarely comment.

Breakfast walk to get our roti canai. Three minutes. A lifetime of joy. This is what Malaysia Day means to me. Peace to the world. I wish this happiness on everyone on earth.

Had the pleasure of reading aloud Kitab Tamadun Cina at a mamak restaurant during Malaysia Week. Can't be any more Malaysian than that. It's hard & fun reading in Malay & doing the secular lectio divina in English. Thanks @robotforaday.bsky.social for the idea.

Dead to Rights: 5⭐️ A historical film about the brave people who smuggled incriminating Nanjing massacre photos that put an end to WW2 Japanese occupation. If you love Godzilla Minus One, please watch this for balance. Not a dry eyes at the Kuala Lumpur cinema just now.

Brilliant adaptation. It doesn't make sense that Interview with the Vampire gets no Emmy nomination for Directing, Writing or Acting. It interprets Anne Rice's works so well.

Shamsiah Fakeh’s memoir of her time with the 10th Regiment of the Malayan Communist Party completed the story I first learned as a child, when my father served with the 1st Royal Malay Regiment. Both form the narrative of my country’s independence.

2024. Reunited with the Avalokitashvara of Bidor, Perak at Muzium Negara, the inspiration behind my fantasy series. I wrote the first ebook in 2022 in London. I looked at the Asian artefacts at the V&A Museum a lot for research. This statue is part of my heritage.
