Some of my readers have complained that my posts are too long. Maybe I'm long winded? Maybe they don't like or can't read long posts (short attention span problem)?
Aeons ago an American publisher (perhaps) found a solution to those having reading problems. He published both the Time and Life magazines - 'twas joked that the former was for people who can read and the latter for those who can't.

Life was a mainly pictorial magazine, with emphasis on photojournalism, one which purportedly told a story from mainly images. But obviously being an American magazine it focused mainly on Americans and the West, one of the criticisms hurled at it.
Due to financial losses, Life finally stopped publication on 24 March 2007, though its website is still maintained by Time Inc.
I don't propose to imitate Life magazines for those who don't like to read long posts, which will continue to be my preferred style. But from time to time I'll post very short pieces - where I once posted my shortest piece comprising of only one word, wakakaka. I'll call it P-3 or P-cube which stands for pendak political piece, wakakaka again..
My short piece today is just a brief saying (Malaysian-ized from a Western idiom), as follows:
The buah langsat* doesn't fall far from its tree.
* Lansium domesticum
