My Heart's Desire from Malacca
Every time I bump into him at my favourite mamak stall, my heart skips a beat. He is just so dashing. With his deep, soulful eyes and trim physique, he makes all the other guys look dull. Sometimes, I even imagine us getting married. Okay, maybe that's a bit crazy for someone I haven't even spoken to. But who knows? Maybe one day our paths will finally align. Until then, I'll just keep admiring him from afar.
Growing Up Malay in Singapore
It's pretty cool being Malay growing up in the city. You get the awesome of both worlds - the buzzing atmosphere and all the tasty food, but also that strong sense of community and culture. It's not always easy, you know? Sometimes people don't get our traditions or maybe they make dumb assumptions about us. But overall, I wouldn't trade it for the world. There's so much passion in being Malay, especially when you see so many kids like yourself succeeding.
It's truly awesome to see all the different aspects of our culture honored here. From festivals to tasty food stalls, it's always vibrant. Plus, we have incredible community centers where everyone can come together and just relax.
It makes me proud here to be Malay in this city. There's a lot of togetherness, and that's what truly matters.
