I have nothing against Malay novels,
I just hardly read them except
if that's teacher's task.
Based on what people told me,
the summary of the novels they read,
I think,
the stories are quite okay,
I mean pretty much related to my life,
as Malay,
but the story line was a bit cliche (for some novels)
ie,
rich and poor, fall in love,
they're not allowed to get married because of social status.
or
they are forced to get married.
But I guess, cliche wasn't really the most accurate word,
I use cliche cause I have no other vocab to describe it.
I guess,
that's the social norm among Malays,
and I don't blame the writers for having that idea,
as we tend to write what's on our mind
and what we think is shaped by the surrounding.
Oh well.
I guess my story might be a bit cliche in a sense,
I fall for the one I used to hate.
But guess what?
The story is spectacular, extra-ordinary.
I am so gonna have those lines to promote my novel, hahaha.
A curse or a gift, in the making.
Stay tune.
