Driving to work today, I listened to HOT FM morning crew which’s similar to other radio stations, this one also has the morning topic to moot every day. I don’t fancy listening to radio actually but I left my playlist at home and I need music to distract my mind from the cracked traffic. So today’s topic was “Kenapa kau unfollower orang kat Twitter?”. I honestly thought it was a wise subject to be discussed for some reasons:-

1) I am on Twitter and I’ve seen a bunch of crazy people tweeting (insulting and derogatory) others religions, races and cultures.

2) I just hate all the Public Displays of Affection (PDA) couple who I can say almost 24 hours they have exhausted other means of communications (meeting up personally/phone/texting).

3) A person starts bashing an idiot and within an hour the bashes snowball. I don’t understand the excitement of doing such thing because that just reflects how stupid you are (as well).

4) People who write on their walls deliberately want to address the tweets to other people but not to mention the names but trying hard so that the other people get that these people are mad. It’s friggin obnoxious especially when the tweets are endless until they get a reply.

5) You know lah, the trend of defeating the purpose of glorious invention that is the keyboard. “U da mam kew?” Don’t be blardy lazy and retarded.

When I thought it was a wise subject, I was truthfully looking forward to hear the calls. So this one girl (I assumed she is school-aged) rang up and introduced herself as, urm, I forgot what’s the name so the DJs asked her, “Kenapa awak unfollow orang kat Twitter?”

Guess what did she reply?

“Sebab account ni kan, dia ada 1.9Mil followers. Saya nak tengok kalau saya unfollower jadi tak 1.8Mil. Saja suka-suka! Tapi kan, tak jadi pun 1.8Mil, still 1.9Mil jugak.”

Oh, you want to know what did the DJs reply back? Yea, sure.

“Kalau awak unfollow dia, maknanya ada orang follow dia balik la tu. Sebab tu masih 1.9Mil.” And they laughed.

Hurm. I really think she should’ve studied the decimal rules first before she called the radio. Or the DJs and she can have a study group together. Anyone who is interested to be the tutor can submit your resume to the HOT fm. website. Thank you.

Abah's Retirement True Story

-
Abah has finally retired. We had been listening to his yens some years ago, especially when he came home from work, lethargic, emotionally disturbed and felt very much like John Wick deadly seeking vengeance. We could not comfort him and his frustration. He used to tell us how blue his blood was, as blue as PDRM color. He loved his profession. He was proud wearing his uniform. March this year, the day finally came. He sought for no one’s approval to enjoy the entitlement. It was a compulsory retirement. He could no longer proceed after his 60’s. Guess what was the first thing he did – leaving the office Whatsapp group. We had a great laugh that night and until today that moment is still fresh in my memory. For good, in May, Abah and Mama had gone back to Kedah living those hours they couldn’t spend before. They held each other’s hands more often without any distraction, not even us. My siblings and I are still struggling to adapt with our new routines withou...

Surfing the Diary Sheets

I can clearly see now that I had been badly mistaken in my hope that a week of 'still knowing each other' is just something normal. But sadly say, it's not. I don't say I am in love with him. I mean, not yet. Yes. Like. Sort of. That feeling - as impossible as it seemed. How can I feel so strongly about him in such a short amount of time? I don't have the answer. 'Granted, if I met him earlier, I mean a year before, we probably are seeing each other now. Err! This is insane! How can after a week, I'd be so ready to spend the rest of my life with him? Hah?' Monologue. Yes, I've tried to analyze the situation, to see if I am in the throes of infatuation. He is smart, kind and funny. He is warm to his friends and family, yet no tendency to flirt with just about everyone. Okay? How can you be so sure, Sheriel Aizan? He is open-minded to new things, new ideas, different view-points. While he had his own opinions, he didn't dismiss those of others. Wha...

Speaking with a little guilt

Me and Abah my siblings always say; have a lot of things in common. We both can talk on so many perspectives in regard to certain issues - politically, socially, legally and others that seem less intriguing to the rest of our family members. We fancy Tan Sri P.Ramlee and not just that, he introduced to me my favourite songs of Rokiah Wandah, Oslan Hussein and Normadiah. As much as I love him and am proud to have similarities with this old man, however, I cannot agree with him with a lot of other things too especially those related to his choice of colors, arts, images, words, holiday plans and hobbies. I would easily get annoyed whenever he opened his mouth for the ‘wrong’ choice he made and I would ridicule, especially when those decisions took a hold of other people. Take this for instance - my father loves fishing. I do not. I am actually not sure if ever anyone besides Abah in this family loves fishing. But each time this old man proposed for a fishing trip, everyone nodded ...
