‘Getting married is like having a donut in front of you but there are so many barriers that stopped you from getting the donut‘ (Najib, 2008).

Haha. Eleh Najib. At least you already have Soya. Huh.

That’s one quote coming from a man with few words. Well, he used to be one. Thanks to Soya and her wonders. Alah lah. And now, let’s hear from the man with lots of funny quotes. Thanks to an email fowarded by Jaja.
