Editor's Note It was a rainy evening when I met FuFu at his My Journey By Bus exhibition in 2020. He animatedly shared about his years studying and working on public transports abroad. However, a health complication that rendered him bedridden temporarily was the catalyst that spurred him to quit his job. He was determined to spend his second chance at life travelling on and writing about these buses he loves so much. After reading his book, I reached out to recommend some revisions. FuFu graciously thanked me for my feedback and welcomed more. I am by no means a particularly good, let alone a perfect writer/editor, but my desire was to afford him a better version of his book as best as I can. FuFu struck me as a tremendously passionate person. It showed in the way his face turned steely with determination when talking about his dream. There is so much purity in his desire of just wanting people to know about Malaysian buses. His conviction is humbling, to quit a comfortable corporate job to pursue writing and self-publication is to go against the grain of society and life as most of us know it. He is the epitome of what one would do if one does not fear failure despite having every odds against them. This is how I came to invest the past two years working on this book with FuFu. It is my sincere hope that you derived some joy from these stories and will invest in FuFu's dream by sharing My Journey By Bus to others. Carmen Looi
