I wanted to be a feature writer in the Saturday magazine like Oyunga Pala. (As much as most people think he’s a chauvinist pig, he reeks pure genius in my books.

When Sonny was younger, around nine to twelve, he was a chubby boy. The minute he got twelve however, pre-teen hood set in.

Dear Diary,
Here I am sitting in the darkness trying to type. I have to say though, it's pretty nice sitting around trying to play scrabble with some really cool people, squinting in the candle light to see the letters on the old tiles. Actually, they're playing and I'm lounging. Kenyan style. In the dark :)
