Couples kissing, drunk passengers in the Underground or preferably called as the tube by Londoners, jackets, gloves, blonde hair, blue eyes, boomboxes, buskers, hot chocolate, i could go on for quite a while.
I've had the gratifying chance to be able to visit England for a lengthy period of time, and it has been quite a pleasant experience to say the least. The weather here right now is pretty cold, with reports of snow in the near future which i am pretty excited about. Jakun, to be precise.
Hot chocolate is the Milo here for me, consuming at least two cups a day whilst reading the novels I've brought to England. The Kite Runner is a really good read, so good that i bought the author's other novel, A Thousand Splendid Suns today. KL Noir's second installment (KL Noir: White) is also a good read, writers writing about the dark side of life revolving our beloved Kuala Lumpur.

If you're a Malaysian reading this, and you're currently in Malaysia, you're really lucky. Being far away from my friends, the beautiful (and conisderably hot) weather, nasi lemak, teh tarik, roti canai, and a thousand more types of Malaysian delicacies (seems like i miss the food more than my friends), really makes me want to go home as soon as possible. Malaysia is a beautiful country, it is my country, and a sense of love towards it is undeniable.
Take a moment to appreciate the lovely things of our country, the weather, the environment, the food. There are of course unavoidable antipathetic things in our country, but what our community has mostly been doing, is acts of condemnation. Instead of condemning, why not advise? Instead of condemning, why not give ideas? Condemning would only go as far as to inculcate vexation in others. Less hate, more positivity. Your words and actions would make or break our country.
Negaraku, tanah tumpahnya darahku.
