What I've learned at 40








And in the end, it's not the years in your life that counts. It's the life in your years - Abraham Lincoln




Nearly got myself killed twice. Once, in a near car collision on my sister's wedding day and the other one falling down 10 meters off a mountain during a hike. Those aren’t accidents, I was stupid and careless both times.

Guys cannot fake orgasm.

As corny as it sounds, I actually met my wife in a bookstore. She was holding a book on sexual reproduction. She seemed a bit out of breath when I said ‘Hi’, which I thought might be because of my mere presence…she was actually hiding the book from my sight.


Politicians have speechwriters. Stupid ones have a few more than the smart ones.

The biggest organ a guy should worry about possessing is the size of his heart.

The grass is sometimes greener on the other side.

You could find a civilized man in a small kampong and you could find an uncivilized man in a cosmopolitan city. It has nothing to do with education or money.

At times, money can buy happiness.
Women need shoes as much as a man needs fancy electronic gadgets. Sometimes men likes gadgets and shoes too.


I get mad and I get even….most of the time.

I write better than I do talking. Problem with live debates is that you cannot spend 5 minutes writing it down before answering.


Never dated a model but I was engaged to a stewardess once.

A good heart is better than a good intention. Good intentions always have a way of screwing up.


Fuck is actually the most flexible word in English. You could be pissed, ecstatic, happy or hurt and describe the feeling with the F word. Strange but fu**ing true.

A real patriot is a politician who tells the truth no matter what the consequences. A real rakyat is the person who defends this person.


Life little mysteries, I went to my cousin’s wedding. Took a photo with the married couple along with the bride’s best friend. In the photo, I was with my ex-fiancĂ© and the bride’s friend was with her boyfriend. The bride’s best friend turned out to be my wife nearly a decade after the wedding. I did not talk or knew her then. In fact, neither one of us even remembered taking the picture together.

I like to stare at my uncle whom has the uncanny resemblance of my late father. He is uncomfortable by it.

Parents have a favourite child though they always say that they treat everyone the same. I suspect, I’m not my mom favourite though she tells me so.

Live simply, love generously, Care deeply and speak kindly. We should live by these values plus be like a fruit tree. You give sweet fruits even if stones were thrown at you.

Rosa Parks sat so Martin Luther could walk. Martin Luther walk so Obama could run. Jay Z said that…now who said rappers can only cuss..?
