My Heart's Desire from Malacca
Every time I bump into him at my favourite mamak stall, my heart skips a beat. He is just so dashing. With his boyish grin and athletic build, he makes all the other guys look dull. Sometimes, I even imagine us getting married. Okay, maybe that's a bit far-fetched for someone I haven't even spoken to. But who knows? Maybe one day our paths will meet by fate. Until then, I'll just keep admiring him from afar.
Growing Up Malay in London
It's pretty cool being Malay growing up in this city. You here get the awesome of both worlds - the energetic atmosphere and all the delicious food, but also that strong sense of community and culture. It's not always easy, you know? Sometimes people don't understand our traditions or maybe they make funny assumptions about us. But overall, I wouldn't trade it for the world. There's so much passion in being Malay, especially when you see so many kids like yourself doing well.
It's really awesome to see all the diverse aspects of our culture recognized here. From occasions to mouthwatering food stalls, it's always bustling. Plus, we have fantastic community centers where everyone can come together and just hang out.
It makes me proud to be Malay in this city. There's a lot of love, and that's what truly matters.

Breakfast is hearty, usually nasi lemak or roti canai with chai. Her family gathers around the table, sharing stories and laughter before everyone heads off to their own tasks. Amira walks to school with her friends, chatting about the latest gossip and discussing plans.
School is a mix of interesting lessons. Amira excels in literature, but she also enjoys music class. After school, she helps her mother with chores like preparing dinner.
In the evenings, Amira spends time playing games with her family. They often gather to enjoy a traditional Malay meal together, savoring the flavours and catching up. As night falls, she winds down with a song, reflecting on the day's events before drifting off to sleep.
