Remember when she snuck an entire nasi lemak into the movies one time when we went to watch Captain Marvel?
Wow it's wild to think that this book is recent enough that they're referencing a Marvel movie from...2019 (wow that was 4 years ago now and i had to look it up cuz I genuinely got scared that this movie was older than i remember. But also Covid changed everything time wise. hm. I wonder if this is like saying 'before the war' As an american born at the end 1990s we don't have anything we can culturally reference like that, like a war that's global amd compltely changes the way we think and live for years. that the time before seems like a different world a life time ago.
Wait! There's no Covid in this book?! I mean its Malaysia so probaly VERY different from my apocalyptic American experience but wild. I guess like books we remember and act the Covid was just a blip (like Marvel) and live in a now and reference the before and not the between.
