"Lydia Teh, the observer of the absurdities of Malaysian life, returns with more absurdities of life and oddities of human behaviour. Everything in life is grist for her mill; there's always something in the nothingness of everyday life that does not escape her pin-sharp eye. In this collection of anecdotes, she brings on more trenchant observations that capture the variegated textures and nuances of Malaysian life as it is lived." Eric Forbes
"A wonderful book! Lydia writes from the heart about families and life, and nails the humour in all of it." Kevin Cowherd
"Lydia brings a breath of fresh air to our sometimes suffocatingly tactful society, and she does it with irrepressible candour. ... You will smile or laugh out loud, and later ponder the home truths that she has conveyed." Adibah Amin
"Wah, don't pray-pray, this book just like me-ah, best in Singapore, JB and some say Batam. I will read this book because it's good, so you better read it also. Buy, borrow or steal it, I don't care-lah. Reading this book is good for you because Confucius said that laughter is the best bandage."

"Lydia offers us a kaleidoscope that reveals the idiosyncrasies of being Malaysian. Her book is light-hearted and rich with witty observations. It's a delight to be able to catch glimpses of ourselves between the pages." Yvonne Lee Shu Yee
"These essays blend information and anecdote, flights of fancy and slices of careful observation, as Lydia chronicles the quirks and eccentricities of contemporary urban life in Malaysia. ... Malaysians will recognise themselves between the pages for sure.
Great fun!" Sharon Bakar
"What we have here is a delightful treasure trove of Malaysian idiosyncrasies that we can all identify with." Reggie Lee
