JOURNALIST Vs REPORTER AND SITI’S FERTILITY ISSUE
Used to want to be a journalist. Hahah. Journalist, mind you, not reporter. The one who wrote things that matters. The one who goes to war-stricken country, reporting what truly happens, not what certain entity wants you to believe happened. Reporting about war refuges, not what Siti Nurhaliza wears for her wedding. That other day the other Siti (Azahlia) told me she went to a bookstore and saw ridiculous front page news in front of one of the Malay’s tabloids – “Siti Subur”. Apparently they interviewed a Gyno who declared, that under his expert observation, from Siti’s physical features, she doesn’t have any fertility issues and can have how many babies she wants. EWWWW…WHO THE HECK NEEDS TO KNOW THAT??? What level you can go down to just to sell paper huh. How would you feel if your fertility rate is measured and the result scattered all in front of tabloids!
THE ONES WHO LIKE TO FORWARD RUBBISH
A few months ago Kmie wrote a status @ his YM – declaring a war towards everyone who has a penchant of forwarding every single thing they received without any desire of checking if its valid info. He even threatened to cut them off his list of frenz (he’s always the radical one in that waay..heheh). I can relate to his frustration in this matter. Being critical is very important if you don’t want to be eaten alive in this ever evolving mean world. You can’t take everything at face value. Forwarding everything for the sake of “sharing ilmu”. Sure, you are sharing…but what if what you are sharing is not the truth and in advance you’re involuntarily involved in spreading false info, which may cause fitnah and misconception? God knows there are too much of misconceptions out there without us contributing to it.
THE ONE WHO WROTE RUBBISH
I’m feeling pretty bored out this weeken =/. To spice thing up i came out with this ridiculous poem in accords to what goes on in Malaysia, Lubnan and Palestin and the rest of the world. Dont laugh, i know i’m not a poet hehe.
I live my life
All this while
Sheltered under this big umbrella
I feel safe (and invisible)
I never knew the coldness of the rain
Or even the midday humidity
The umbrella sheltered me
This umbrella sheltering me
Makes me forgot to peek outside
Yesterday I suddenly had this urge to have a look
What lies beyond this small cozy place I live in?
Underneath the umbrella
I wondered
Surprise!
Prejudice, hatred, lies and wrath
Fallen to my other brothers and sisters
Who don’t have an umbrella to shelter them
Those prejudice, hatred, lies and wrath
Became the harsh sun, the terrifying lighting, the heavy rain
Crashing them, killing them
I felt scared
And quickly hid under my umbrella
And vowed never to peek outside again
Last night I couldn’t sleep
Those horrifying images kept playing inside my head
I understand now
This big umbrella is making me forgot the harsh reality outside
I want to stay here forever – its so cozy, its so surreal
But I am scared, that one day this umbrella will be torn and broken
And I’ll be left without shelter
And end up like them
Little that I notice
This umbrella has already had small holes in them
Where small drops of rain
And hot sun rays
Can peek through
And only waiting time to be broken
