What did you have for breakfast?

I have an Aussie friend puts a shout-out in her Facebook asking "I wondered what you have for Breakfast".
So her local friends responded:

• I had blueberry yogurt, toast, and a glass of orange juice
• I ate cereals
• Another guy said, he had some power bars, wholemeal bread with strawberry jam and a glass of milk

All her Australian friends seems to have something in common, non-oily breakfast diet.

I wished to response to her question but I stopped and think maybe I shouldn't.

It has always been a culture in Malaysia, of eating oily foods in the morning rather than drinking juice and crunching cereals which we consider a luxury in many ways.

Our common food in the morning includes roti canai, fried beehoon, Hokkein mee, pisang goreng, and nasi lemak. Sounds like, our local daily breakfast seems notoriously a no-no by doctor recommendation. But they are the most easily acquired food from 4am-11am here.

Unlike my friend in Australia (perhaps most of the Western country), milk, fruits, wholemeal bread, are not the first thing pop to my head the moment I opened our eyes and brushed my teeth.

So, should I be proud of my breakfast?

Ironically, yes. I ate roti canai for breakfast with a cup of tea-tarik that day. There...

A cyclist dream

It was summer.

Everyone was preparing for a competition.

A young man, was cycling with his best friend around a field, bordered with white fence.

He is excited. He can't wait to see his village flocked with famous cyclists around the region.

His father was once a profesional and famous cyclist too.

But his sister has forbid him to follow his father's way.

It is because, his father's career that had killed him years ago.

Until now, it still haunt his sister. She will never forgets the night she saw her father cycle landed at the bottom of the valley

She would never wanted the same for her little brother, her only family remained.

She does not know where is her mother, and she doesn't care.
