Perhatian! Post kali ni ada unsur-unsur politik (sikit je). Read at your own risk. Hujung minggu lepas, aku telah pergi bersama keluarga ke Terengganu untuk melawat sedara mara yang ahli kelurganya mengalami kematian. Sedara mara yang ni aku tak berapa kenal sangat sebab tinggal jauh dan aku memang jumpa sekali dua je sebelum ni. Diceritakan arwah (lelaki) ni meninggal di hospital KT. Kata ahli keluarga dia lagi, arwah ni nampak sihat dua dan tiga hari sebelum tu. Masa tu macam-macam dia nak makan, tiba-tiba je pada waktu subuh sakit (sakit jantung) dia datang balik dan terus dia "pergi". Sudah ajal dia tapi dah banyak kali dah aku dengar pasal sakit dan mati tiba-tiba ni, terutamanya golongan lelaki umur 40-an keatas. Disebabkan hari tu hari jumaat, jadi secara automatiknya kena la pergi masjid. Tak jauh pun, belakang rumah sedara tu je. Time khutbah jumaat, itulah kali pertama aku tengok Imam Melayu (sebelum ni Imam foreigner) baca khutbah langsung tak tengok teks, mata pan...

Korean drama fan ends up being raped by duo A KOREAN drama fan was gang-raped after she followed a man she befriended on the Internet to his house to watch a Korean drama series. Sin Chew Daily reported that the incident took place at about 10pm on Tuesday at a house in Bandar Manjalara, Kuala Lumpur. She met the man for the first time on Tuesday and he persuaded her to follow him home to watch a new Korean drama series he had just bought. She was left alone to watch the drama in a room. A few moments later, the man suddenly entered and raped her. When he was through, his housemate then raped her. Police are looking for both men. ~star

Semasa memandu hari ni, aku terpandang kat meter mileage kereta. Sudah 39,xxx KM rupanya. Tak lama lagi confirm kena servis jawabnya. Servis kereta termasuk antara perkara yang aku tak suka sebenarnya. Buka malas nak drive kereta ke workshop tapi sebab ada kemungkinan aku akan perang mulut kat situ. Aku bukan kaki gaduh tapi sebab dah banyak kali workshop ambil kesempatan, jadi aku akan betul-betul berkira. Tiap kali nak servis aku mesti check betul-betul list yang dia bagi. Aku akan tanya setiap apa yang dalam list tu. Tukar minyak hitam pun aku akan pastikan workshop tu guna minyak hitam dari botol dan bukan dari tong dram (ada workshop guna minyak hitam dari tong drum untuk dapat untung banyak). Minyak hitam yang lebih pun aku akan mintak balik, aku dah bayar jadi tu memang hak aku. Daripada workshop tu kumpul yang lebih tu banyak-banyak sampai boleh isi kat pelanggan lain, baik aku mintak balik. Cerita pasal pengalaman, ada sekali aku nak buat first servis kereta aku. Aku tak pua...

illustration by Jo Qusary When I was little (back in the mid 80's) I used to stand in front of the mirror and I always wonder if there is another world, another realm out there inside the mirror, the realm of reflection. I used to stare for a few minutes at the mirror not looking at myself but what is behind my reflection. Fortunately the mirror was position in front of the window so its capture the landscape outside the window. I stare and I stare, hardly looking for a sign of life in the mirror's realm, and never get lucky, not until one day. One day, I looked so hard into the mirror as if i was looking through it when suddenly I saw little people on the branch of the asam renda tree. (I don't know if this plant still exist today) because there was no more around my house when i return a few years back after graduate and all. The asam renda tree was tall because it reach the second floor of our kampung house which is built on a tiang, back then, now we get rid of the stai...
