Wong Yoon Wah
“Among Chinese Singaporeans and Malaysians, many hold the belief that when Admiral Cheng Ho landed in Nanyang, he relieved himself in the jungle, and the steaming puddle of shit and piss evolved into the durian tree. To put it less elegantly, the mounds of flesh inside the durian resemble a row of little turds, resting neatly in a boat-shaped husk.”
Wong Yoon Wah, Durians Are Not the Only Fruit

“Malaya ka sa mga oras na wala ka nang pakialam sa kung ano ang iniisip ng ibang tao tungkol sayo”
Napz Cherub Pellazo
