Book Description: ADIBAH AMIN's As I Was Passing celebrates the Malaysian way of life. In this delightful, inventive collage of anecdotal essays, she looks into the heart and soul of Malaysia, past and present, with humour and through crisp prose. She dissects the Malaysian psyche and its quirks and idiosyncrasies with much relish and abandonment. Adibah is an astute anecdotalist, blessed with a talent for the closely observed detail as well as a keen sense for the foibles of others and a keener sense of humour about her own follies. Her affection for Malaysians comes through clearly even as she pokes fun at them. If you need one book that captures the essence of what it is to be Malaysian or some idea of Malaysian-ness, you won't go wrong with this one. About the Author: ADIBAH AMIN is not, as one Sri Delima reader imagined, "fat and bouncy, with a fruity laugh." She does love Malaysia's multicultural cuisines, but also enjoys Eastern-style exercise. Friends will vouch, too, that she laughs easily but not fruitily. Her mornings are mostly spent tutoring youngsters, her evenings editing, translating or "scribbling." Her other joys are books, music, singing, crosswords with a kindred spirit, travel and holidays with faraway loved ones. She lives with her family in a quiet house that bursts into riotous life with clan invasions during festivals. In thoughtful moments, candid chats with friends of different races and creeds deepen her faith in lasting harmony. She is the bestselling author of As I Was Passing, As I Was Passing II and Glimpses: Cameos of Malaysian Life.

Book Description: Hot on the heels of the bestselling AS I WAS PASSING and AS I WAS PASSING II is yet another anecdotal gem from a name that has become synonymous with Malaysia and Malaysiana. GLIMPSES is a montage of Adibah Amin’s insightful observations of the contradictory and colourful eccentricities in the everyday habits of Malaysians, before and after the millennium. Although seemingly more outspoken and individualistic compared to their earlier counterparts, Malaysians in the millennium have not shed the unique traits that define them—Malaysians still balik kampong, flock to the airport to see someone off, enjoy bargaining, call strangers “uncle” and “auntie,” and give a big makan to jaga their faces but also because of their naturally hospitable nature. GLIMPSES will provoke laughter and reflections as Adibah truly captures the Malaysian spirit in its wry honesty, making us realise that the more things change, the more they stay the same.
