At 1.30am tonight, I got a call from a rando while I was asleep. It turned out to be a security guard who found an idiot oyen loitering around, annoying the dogs. His name tag led to my number and so I was called to take him home.
TL;DR — My silly boy Cyrus is home.
I am in my mid 30s, been vaccinated three times for COVID, and have largely avoided it for awhile.
End last month, I got it and have been coughing ever since. Today, I checked and I have some light scarring in my lungs.
Awkward. Just saw two Muslim girls who were entering a

at Citta Mall being informed by a restaurant manager that they weren’t allowed to order until 7pm. They can sit to book a place for buka, but no orders until 7pm.
Is McDonald’s policing morals nowadays too? 😒
No cases traced to the cinema. No contributions to the rising cases. Yet when the MCO hits, every industry including cinemas are shutdown.
Shouldn’t we make rational targeted decisions with our lockdowns, not just a blanket ban-all? This is not our first MCO. We know better.
Kilang ✅
Bazaar ✅
Cinema yang takde kes dengan SOP ketat❌
Setiap kali PKP je cinema jadi mangsa😔Sejak tahun lepas asyik bukak tutup 😢
We have ~20k people working in the industry too & takde bantuan subsidi 😟

It's tiring to work. But thank goodness we have a job.
Bills to pay. But we have comforts; a roof under our heads; food on the table.
The boredom of routine? Well, there's order in our day. We live in times of peace and prosperity.
Always a silver lining to what seems bad! ❤️

If you hear any of these statements being made, please share the following video with the person who said it.
My experience getting vaccinated and what you can do:

1. Arrived at the PPV and was given two copies of the consent form. It’s double sided with one side English and the other in Malay.

Read that someone else fell to their death from Aman Central in Kedah. This news comes as a shock after what happened recently in KLCC and MRR2. Suicide contagion is real and I hope we take more care to address the way these news break to the public.

is pissed AF, and I am too.
Peeps, if you wanna spoil the movie - write, tweet, or talk about it. Don't film it; you can get jailed for 5 years or fined RM10k. Worse, you damage Msia's reputation. We could get sidelined by distributors/studios. No more movies.
Honestly, even if it's Azmin Ali in that video, it's really none of our business. Don't politicize someone's private life. The video was clearly private, and it does not affect the individual's capability to do a good job. So, stop the shit politics.
Years ago, I was stopped at a police roadblock with my friend — a Brit national. She hadn’t brought her ID with her and there was clearly no wrongdoing, but they wanted me to leave her with them and fetch her passport. They called it an “offence” that she didn’t have an ID.
Last year an inspector in Kedah raped a 16-year-old who came to report a rape. This year, an inspector in Kelantan raped another person who came to file a report.
Earlier this month, a lance corporal raped an Uzbek student in a police car.

The fear of having a child outside of wedlock. The fear of public shame. The fear of being penalized. All of these have a part in driving people to extreme decisions; and sometimes it can force them to choose to leave behind what they love most. Imagine the heartbreak and regret.
Semalam makcik aku jumpa baby dekat Surau Wildan Subang Perdana. Sekarang dah hantar kat balai polis dan dalam siasatan. Cuma aku terfikir.. Orang lain bermatian nak anak kenapa segelintir manusia sanggup buang? Mujur dia tinggal dekat tempat elok dgn siap pakaian.
This is coming from someone who is relatively young, has no comorbidities, and has been vaccinated. I can’t imagine the effects hitting someone else like this who hasn’t taken a single vaccine. The cough I have sucks, but it could be worse. Much worse.
If you know someone in need who can't find/afford an oximeter, please get them to reach out to CREST Malaysia () to borrow one for free. It's a non-profit and they're doing this as a humanitarian effort.
Please share if you can; it could save a life.
Everyone that is COVID-19 positive and quarantined at home should have a Pulse Oximeter and basic meds
- fever meds (Panadol)
- flu meds
- lozenges for sore throat
Accurate pulse oximeter readings can save lives.
Identify danger signs and don’t wait.

She needs not thank Malaysia. Unless we be paying her bills, giving her access to world-class infrastructure for free, etc. Hidilyn owes nothing to Malaysia and we Malaysians demand nothing. Stop trying to claim victories that aren’t ours. Her blood, sweat, and toil is her own.

Nah, here’s more oyen for you:
That said, even if you do take the vaccine, masking and keeping your hands clean (hygiene) is still pretty important. Wash your hands where you go and shower when you come home. We are all not impervious to it, even though it’s relatively common these days.
I understand that all businesses are also trying to operate within the legalities of the law — no matter federal or Sharia.
My tweet really goes back to the need to police people’s morals and decide for them what they can or cannot do.
The beauty of cross-culture integration is when your Japanese sensei is trying to explain “takeaway” and she does it in the most colloquially Malaysian way possible.
Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce to you the portmanteau Japanese-Malaysian word: tapau shimasu. 😂

You can walk in and get a booster from clinics that are PPVs. I’m an AZ recipient too and I got my Pfizer booster yesterday. You can find all the locations here:
Why can’t a sign just be put up to state that Muslims aren’t allowed to eat during Ramadhan daylight hours? I believe some eateries do so.
There’s really no need to have to decide for someone what they should do with their food — eat in, takeaway, etc.
That’s my take.
That said, here is one way to do some good.
1. Go to
2. Pick a charity you want to help
3. Donate
4. If you want to do something, volunteer
These times are trying and we need to give everyone the support they need to survive.
Some people asked me if I could share the notes I got from the singing workshop I joined with

. Here's everything I learned; hopefully this will inspire more Malaysians to take up Malaysian Sign Language and help promote more inclusivity!
There are 6 pages in total.
I am so confused. Today is the last day of the EMCO/PKPD for Selangor except in selected areas, but the cases are at an all-time high. Is it safe or not safe to go out?
DG’s doom toll today is pointless if:
1. The SOPs are confusing and contradictory
2. We don’t read the data we have accumulated in 16 months or go back to the science in forming SOPs for the economy, social, etc.
3. We give free passes to the rich, famous, and mighty
We do not need to know how a man tried to take his own life. We just need to know that a man attempted and has now been admitted to the hospital for care.
Even worse, he now faces jail time and a fine for the attempt.
“What is 'real'? How do you define 'real'?
If you’re talking about what you can feel, what you can smell, taste, and see then 'real' is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain.”

I don’t just fear us becoming a religious state, I fear us becoming a race-based religious state.
For years being Malay Muslim in Malaysia is defined as supreme, and this indoctrination has been around for decades.
As a kid, I was told that being half-Chinese meant I was kafir.
You can decide what you want to call me. I accept ayah, abang, or daddy, but am open to suggestions. 😉
Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, everyone! Maaf zahir dan batin! ✨
Was there no press secretary advising them against taking a thumbs up pic for the delivery of new storage containers for putting the corpses of those who have died from COVID?
Selepas Hospital Sungai Buloh, tiba giliran Hospital Selayang pula terpaksa menyediakan kontena khas bagi menempatkan jenazah/mayat COVID-19.
Kontena khas yang disediakan Unit Perubatan Forensik Hospital Selayang ini boleh menempatkan 20 jenazah/mayat tambahan
We argued for a good ten minutes. He eventually tired of us and let us leave. My friend was shaking. I’d never have left her there, but I wonder what would have happened if I had been a wee bit cowardly and gave in.
Things might have turned out differently.
On ID: she has a UK driver’s license and a photocopy of her passport but they didn’t accept it and wanted her actual passport. So yes, there is some form of ID — just not the physical passport.

If I’m inviting ppl to a party I threw, I will foot the bill 💯.
If I’m asking friends to have dinner with me for my birthday, I’m happy going Dutch.
If my friends and I organise someone else’s birthday party/dinner, we would split it amongst ourselves minus birthday person.
If you see this, retweet with a picture of you smiling
It is like this, but worse.
My boss once told me to stop smiling at work because it looked too uncomfortable and unnatural 😅
Depression is a mental illness. It is a state that can come as suddenly as a rainstorm, without warning or a trigger. Perhaps a small thing can spark it off, but it is the overwhelming sense of loss, hopelessness, loneliness, and all that is negative.

Yet, you don't see Hindus trying to shut down wagyu beef buffets. And you're kinda eating an animal they consider holy.
Tolerance is a two-way street, my friend.
And now I have:
- 5G capabilities and can telepathically send text messages / Tweets
- Read barcodes
- Have access to all the knowledge in the world, powered by Google
Other abilities still not yet discovered.
Two days to total lockdown.
As we prepare to stay in again to stem the spread, remember that there are going to be other communities out there that are going to suffer more.
If you know of a few, please share them around and let’s try to help them survive the next lockdown.
Remember I had been waiting to share some very exciting life news? ❤️
Well, I’m excited to share that I have finally been given the keys to my first home 🏡 and I’m proud to finally have a place I can call my own. 🙌

I got the following:
- AstraZeneca - May 2021
- AstraZeneca - July 2021
- Pfizer - December 2021
They call it a 25x effective dosage. It’s good but there’s clearly stronger strains. My guess is my batch was Delta.
When you see people celebrate great things in life: a new job, a marriage, a new child... wish them well. Here are some things not to say to them:
"Does the job pay well?"
"Has your wife / husband converted?"
"Was the child born out of wedlock?"
Try this: "Congratulations!"
It’s all amazing to tell people to stay home because you are making 5 digits, have a stable job, and can live comfortably.
Try telling that to my roti man who has a family to feed and was stopped by the police and fined for trying to sell bread, just to stay alive.
