Gorgeous isn’t she? Name’s Lydia Teh, a local book author from Klang, Kuala Lumpur. And which book belongs to her will I be talking about? Here there are:
Oh before that, you do want to know more on Lydia hmm?
-born and raised in Klang
-Worked as an Executive Secretary before giving up her job for her kids
-A mother of 4 children
-Written 6 books
-She is now running an English language center and…
-A columnist at theSun newspaper. Tete- a-Tete with Lydia The appears every Tuesday
Now…back on the review.
Honk! If you’re Malaysian
Simplified, it tells you readers on the inside out of Malaysian’s culture in their daily routine. Lydia uses all her senses in observing the gestures of Malaysians, and it’s funny for the locals because what she wrote is what we did. Like duh? She tells us on the different races we have here in Malaysia, their ethnic and cultural limitations that unite us in a very amusing manner.
Life’s like That
Reading this print is like looking at her personal life. To me, this book rather resembles her diary, as in openly exposed. She wants people to know her Malaysian walk, her Malaysian scenes of life…to get you to dive deeper into our local lifestyle. In this book, Lydia goes into the depths of different standard of living of Malaysians; family, pregnancies, babies, motherhood, hobbies, festivities, and many more.
Also, 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.
Interested ARR~~?
I would definitely suggest you to get yourself a print in the MPH bookstores, because aside from this…you can acquire different other good books either on Malaysian’s lifestyle or our world history, our building establishment such as the Petronas Twin Tower. Moreover, princes are affordable as well. If you can’t get yourself a print in the mentioned bookstore, you could always pay a visit to Kinokuniya or The Borders’ Malaysia bookstore.

If you like these mentioned books…Do check out the rest of her other 4 books !
Also, she has her very own blog-page, but apparently, she stopped because she wanted to have more time in writing books. But you, however could at least view her post to have a look at her walk here in Malaysia. Who knows, you could spot some ideas in there that helped her in her book writing, or maybe her secrets to success.
