In honour of #WorldTurtleDay today, I’d like to share my journey with #turtles, how I ended up studying them, how I co-founded a non-profit in Malaysia, and what I wished for our turtles.
(This is a #thread.)

My train commute to work is near 1-hour and reading has made these trips so much better.
I think I’ve read more books because I have near 2 hours of protected reading time whilst taking the train now 🥰

People who think reading in public is performative are basically telling on themselves. It's clear they think reading is extremely hard and not enjoyable, so the only possible reason to do it is to show off.

@caytlyn_brooke I’m sorry that happened, I can’t imagine how you felt yesterday 🥲 But I wish you strength from now onwards 💪🏻 Congratulations on writing and publishing 7 books already! 🏆 Big hugs from Malaysia 🌷

No one showed up for my book reading event. I know this happens and I'm trying really hard to keep it together but I feel terrible that the shop stayed open to host me for nothing.

My BFF is running her first marathon in October, and she would like to raise RM10,000 to support turtle conservation efforts by TCS @TCSMsia 🐢
Please consider cheering her on, and helping save our critically endangered river terrapins! running-for-terrapins.simplygiving.com 🏃♀️

In bed after packing for tomorrow’s hospital admission. Surgery on Wednesday. Wish me luck.

@still_ernamh Sending positive, healing vibes to you! 🌷 You are a champion, you can do this 💪🏻🏆

Good news!
My tumour is no longer palpable (three doctors tried and could not find it by feel).
My last chemo is tomorrow.
Surgery is on the 14th please send good vibes (and cookies).
Am grateful for the support that made it possible for me to be treated so quickly!

@bongkersz This is exactly why interest-free (and BNPL) instalment plans are helpful (and popular!). Tak ramai yang mampu sekaligus bayar RM6,000 tapi boleh instalment 👍🏻

Cuci dengan keringkan sekali kalau banyak kuantiti kata lah dalam RM30.
Washing machine + dryer mau RM6k kot?
So duit invest beli washing machine + dryer (itu pun ~14kg je) boleh cuci 200 kali.
1 tahun 52 weeks.
Kalau cuci every week pun boleh cuci 4 tahun.
Wkwkwkwkwkwk.

I went on air yesterday to talk about the new population of terrapins found in the Kuantan River! @TCSMsia
Article @staronline: thestar.com.my/news/nation/20…
Podcast @BFMradio: bfm.my//content/podca… The terrapin news starts at 5:20

We discovered a new population of river terrapins in the Kuantan River! 🐢
In 2018, we were told that we were “10 years too late,” so it’s a pleasant surprise to see that they are still around! 🎉

Turtles are wildlife and they should be left in the wild. Do not keep them as pet, or for whatever reason. If you absolutely must keep them, ensure that you have the proper documentation/ license. Especially if they’re listed in the Malaysian Wildlife Conservation Act.

2. Interns will receive an allowance when they assist in certain projects.
3. Subsidised accommodation for female interns are provided.
Do we lose out on potential income?
Of course.
