Finally...Once I got this book, I couldn't stop myself from reading it. The first day I got the book, I already read 1/3 of it which is about 100 pages. I seldom read this much at one time, not even my textbooks back in uni! Yes, this shows how interesting the book is.
6th printing already!
Honk! If You're Malaysian basically reviews the typical life of Malaysian. When I was reading the book, I thought, "How come Lydia knows what I've done previously?" Haha! Lydia is just too observant that she noticed every single bit of how a typical Malaysian behaves.
There are loads of stories in this book about Malaysian. They are all written in a humorous way. On a particular story, Lydia wrote about how Malaysians would shop. Malaysians are trying all possible ways to avoid paying a single cents when we shop. On another story, it was about Malaysians who love to procrastinate. From studying for exams to shopping, Malaysians just like to leave everything to the very last minute. While reading these, I kept nodding my head. These are so true!
This is the lady behind this book; Lydia Teh.

well loved the way the book talks about our daily lives..only complaint would be the stories were way too short and when u r used to long novels..u seem to get in and out of different stories in a matter of pages which can be abit irritating..
ah, finally u've got the book :)
looks like u r a great Lydia Teh supporter.
