Friends and Countrymen and Women

I am on the move right now and am internetless for the most part. So, my apologies if I haven’t been replying to your comments lately. It is a truly humbling experience and something totally beyond my expectation, that a very personal view of my hometown could have struck a note with so many people. I have been with the Pizzaman (sorry A. Karim) these past days, and I have seen how his phone just wouldn't stop ringing with orders. Kakteh will tell you that pizzas aren’t actually my favourite food, but I do ow love its deliverer. And I am most grateful to you all, and thank you Zulomar for asking about the 25th Dec event, and thank you Tlady for such a wonderfully long comment! (Please see comments to GuiT News #3952 below.

I hope you will all come to the signing and meeting outside the monsoon weather in the Keda Pök Löh Yunang’s fine establishment on Christmas Day, 25 December. As I said before, it will be a very modest event, and they don’t even sell ceranang in the back of the shop, but let’s make it an eventful day.

And before I go, I have something to report. I’ve met so many fine people these past few days, and I’ve met Pok Ku and Pak Adib, two bloggers I have thanked especially in GuiT. But today, at a wedding, I met a classmate I’ve not seen for more than 30 years, and I met Trengganu's singer (and now painter) Adnang Osmang, whay-hey-hey!
