When I was a kid 2 is funnier than the first book. I like the onion jokes and not an elephant. But most of all the persimmons (sorry, disrespect ur po po). That was when I laughed like hell because there is this persimmons picture attached and I know what it's like on ur po po chest..I love it because it brings back my childhood memory and I will start my childhood story just like how Boey writes and draw. Sometimes we wish that we are kid once again and never grow old. Most of all the ending did surprised me because honestly I think of my mother who was young n pretty once and now she was old and fat(sorry!) and she works hard for the family. And I think of her just exactly like Boey; lying on the bed thinking of ur parents and even cried because of it. Love childhood memory. Those memory will never overcome childhood's memory nowadays. OMG. MEGA AWESOMENESS.Read it in one sitting at the bookstore while waiting for my mom. Found myself laughing numerous times. So relateable even though I'm came to earth about a decade later than him. I think this is better than the first. Perhaps because I have been following Boey on Facebook and Twitter ever since a few days after that fateful day I met his book at a BookFest, and have become more familiar with his style. Shall get this book on the upcoming BookFest at KLCC. He's going to be there!(on the 3rd & 4th of August at the KLCC Convention Centre, Malaysia). It's not as if he will get paid more if I buy at the 20% higher price.#typicalmalaysianchinese?
Rasa macam lagi best daripada 'When I was a Kid.' Ke aku yang tak ingat intipati buku nombor satu?
