Book Description: In this collection of amusing meditations on Malaysian life and its complexities and contradictions, Lydia Teh dives into the depths of Malaysian life: family, pregnancies, babies, motherhood, hobbies, festivities, daily ablutions, pets and other calamities. Not only has she imbued her stories of homespun ordinariness and nostalgia with a luminous sheen, she also captures the essence of being Malaysian with wit and bracing honesty. With self-deprecating humour and an utter lack of pretension, Teh's candid tales bring to life the warm humour of Malaysian life in all its treacly sweetness and capture the heart and soul of Malaysia. Her vision of Malaysian life is fresh and funny: fresh in the way it makes you look at things in a new light and funny in the way it occasionally makes you want to cry. About the Author: LYDIA TEH was born and bred in Klang, Malaysia. She still resides in this royal town famous for its glittering streetlights, seafood, herbal pork stew and crows. A homemaker, she enjoys writing while raising her brood of four. In between cooking for her children, chauffeuring them around and coaching them in their studies, she loves observing the quirks and idiosyncrasies of Malaysians. Though she dreams of knocking out a novel from the comfort of a beach house or a cottage in the hills, she's just as happy writing in her home, the library or the café. Teh is the author of Honk! If You're Malaysian and Do You Wear Suspenders?: The Wordy Tales of Eh Poh Nim, among other books.

LYDIA TEH, the astute observer and chronicler of the absurdities of all things Malaysian, returns with more absurdities of Malaysian life and oddities of human behaviour in Honk! If You're Malaysian. 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, humour and nuances of Malaysian life as it is lived. She 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. About the Author: LYDIA TEH is a writer who calls herself a desperate housewife. Born and bred in Klang, Malaysia, she still resides in this royal town famous for its glittering streetlights, seafood, bah kut teh (herbal pork stew) and crows. A former secretary, she enjoys writing while raising her brood of four. In between cooking for her children, chauffeuring them around and coaching them in their studies, she loves observing the quirks and idiosyncrasies of Malaysians. Teh is the author of Life's Like That: Scenes from Malaysian Life.
