  • Hasil Bantuan Netizen, Bayi Didodoikan Lagu Nyanyian Mendiang Ibunya

    Hasil Bantuan Netizen, Bayi Didodoikan Lagu Nyanyian Mendiang Ibunya

    Bayi bernama J.J. ini tidak akan pernah dapat bertemu dengan ibunya, kerana wanita itu meninggal dunia sebaik sahaja dia dilahirkan.

    Namun kini, bayi itu dapat didodoikan dan membesar dengan lagu-lagu nyanyian mendiang ibunya.

    Ini setelah para netizen di Internet membantu bapa bayi itu, Encik Jared Buhanan-Decker, menukar format lagu-lagu yang dinyanyikan dan dirakamkan isterinya semasa hayatnya, agar ia dapat dimainkan semula, lapor CNN.

    Lebih istimewa lagi, salah satunya ialah lagu dodoi yang ditulis mendiang Cik Sharry Buhanan-Decker khas untuk anak mereka yang ketika itu masih dalam kandungan.

    Menurut CNN, Cik Sharry meninggal dunia empat bulan lalu setelah melahirkan J.J. menerusi pembedahan Caesarean, akibat embolisme cecair amnion yang berlaku apabila cecair di sekitar janin memasuki saluran darah si ibu.

    Suami mendiang, Encik Buhanan-Decker, kemudian secara kebetulan menemui enam rakaman lagu nyanyian Cik Sharry yang ditulis sendiri oleh mendiang, termasuk lagu dodoi untuk anak lelaki mereka.

    Malangnya, Encik Buhanan-Decker tidak dapat menukar format lagu-lagu itu untuk memainkannya semula, lapor CNN yang menukil KUTV.

    Oleh kerana terdesak dan ingin sekali mendengar semula suara nyanyian isteri tercinta, beliau ke laman Reddit dan meminta bantuan para netizen di sana.

    Dalam beberapa jam sahaja, menurut CNN, puluhan orang menawarkan bantuan mereka, dan akhirnya, Encik Buhanan-Decker dapat sekali lagi mendengar nyanyian mendiang isterinya.

    Lebih menyayat hati, lirik lagu itu seolah-olah merupakan mesej wanita itu kepada suami dan anak mereka.

    Ia berbunyi “Baby, jangan risau/Saya okey, saya baik-baik sahaja,” kata Encik Buhanan-Decker, yang menulis tentang kehidupannya bersama J.J. setelah kematian isterinya di sebuah blog, Love Sharred.

    “Saya rasa (lagu-lagu) itu sedikit sebanyak memberi kesan kepadanya (bayinya), mendengar suara ibunya,” katanya kepada KUTV.

  • Nepali Teenage Girl Selling Vegetables Is New Online Darling

    Nepali Teenage Girl Selling Vegetables Is New Online Darling

    You might have heard about how a handsome blue-eyed Pakistani tea-seller, Mr Arshad Khan, became an overnight star on social media after his photo was posted on Instagram.

    Now, a vegetable seller from Nepal, Ms Kusum Shrestha, is the latest hawker to make waves online with her good looks, BBC reported.

    The 18-year-old was photographed carrying vegetables at a local market and the photos drew attention online when they were uploaded.

    The hashtags #Tarkariwali and #Sabjiwali – which both mean “vegetable seller” – quickly started trending on social media as users praised her looks.

    In one picture, the teenager is seen smiling as she carries crates of tomatoes across a bridge. In another one, she is captured talking on a mobile phone while selling vegetables at a market.

    Ms Shrestha is from a farming family based in Bagling, Gorkha, which is about 90km west of capital Kathmandu.

    She told BBC Nepali she is a student in the nearby district of Chitwan, and was helping her parents during the college holidays when the shots were taken.

    Photographer RupChandra Maharjan told Nepalese blog Gundruk Post that he photographed Ms Shrestha at the Fishling suspension bridge between Gorkha and Chitwan. He reportedly works for a rafting company on the local Trishuli River.

    Ms Shrestha told the BBC she found out about her viral pictures from a friend.

    “First my friend asked me if I am the same girl whose photos became viral on Facebook. But I didn’t know,” Ms Shrestha said.

    “Then she sent me the pictures and when I saw them, I found it was me. On that day, I came to sell the vegetables to help my parents. When I was on my way to sell the vegetables, RupChandra (the photographer) took my picture – but at that point of time, I didn’t know that I was being photographed.”

    Many users on Twitter and Facebook admired the teenager’s work ethic. One of them, @SabyasachiPuhan, said she combined “cuteness and hard work”.

    One fan even suggested that Mr Khan, the Pakistani tea-seller and Ms Shrestha would make an ideal couple.

    Ms Shrestha told the BBC she was thrilled with her newfound fame. When asked if she would like to take up modelling like Mr Khan if an opportunity arises, she beamed and said: “Yes, I will go.”

    Her father Narayan Shrestha, 43, told Nepalese news website myrepublica.com: “I hear that her photos have become popular on the Internet. Who had imagined that she would get such publicity? My daughter has always been a shy girl; she is a girl of very few words.”

    Mr Shrestha said his daughter is studying management. However, her dream is to be a nurse.

    “She is my only child. I should educate her to the extent possible (sic),” he said. “But I also have to consider my financial situation. I could not admit her into a nursing college though she wanted to study nursing.”

    He said the interest in his daughter showed that the public respects farmers and their hard work.

    “This is what I feel. There is nothing else that I expect,” he added.

    Faizal Tahir Perjelas Kontroversi Kulit Album; Dituduh “Iluminati, Murtad”

    Penyanyi Faizal Tahir memperjelaskan bahawa kulit album terbarunya berjudul Anatomi ada kaitan dengan beberapa perkara dalam kehidupannya.

    “Sejak kulit album ini keluar banyak tanggapan positif dan negatif saya terima, ada yang kata ia iluminati, freemason dan ada juga yang nampak ia seperti salib dan menuduh saya murtad.

    “Secara dasarnya kulit album Anatomi ini simbolik kepada lagu-lagu dalam album ini dan beberapa benda yang berkaitan dengan kehidupan saya,” kata beliau kepada mStar Online.

    Beliau juga menambah beliau mempunyai kepercayaan yang kuat terhadap Allah dan percaya Allah sentiasa memberi bimbingan kepadanya, tambah laporan mStar Online.

    Penyanyi lagu Assalamualaikum itu menjelaskan kontroversi kulit album baru yang menjadi viral di laman sosial sejak ia dikeluarkan minggu lalu.

    Beliau menerangkan bahawa simbol kuda merupakan lambang tahun kelahirannya, manakala sayap pula berkaitan dengan pasukan bola sepak kegemarannya iaitu Liverpool.

    mStar Online melaporkan bahawa menurut Faizal, gambar wanita berpurdah pula merupakan simbol rasa hormatnya kepada kaum wanita yang menutup aurat dan gambar kanak-kanak berkepala televisyen pula menonjolkan kanak-kanak zaman sekarang yang terlalu terdedah kepada internet dan televisyen.

    “Foto saya empat tangan dan kaki serta tidak berbaju pula adalah lambang lukisan Leonardo da Vincci. Ada juga yang mempersoalkan tentang aurat kerana saya tidak berbaju dalam kulit album ini.

    “Bagi saya ramai lagi penyanyi wanita yang kulit album tidak bertudung dan mendedahkan aurat,” ujarnya kepada mStar Online.

  • Nuradillah Zakbah – Meet The Singaporean Accidental Mediator Who Brought Peace Between An African American And PRC Family In France

    Nuradillah Zakbah – Meet The Singaporean Accidental Mediator Who Brought Peace Between An African American And PRC Family In France

    A Singaporean woman used her language skills to mediate a misunderstanding between an African American man and a group of Chinese tourists in France’s Charles de Gaulle airport on Saturday (Nov 5).

    Ms Nuradillah Zakbah, 31, was in Paris for a seven-hour stopover, enroute to Portugal where she was attending a conference. She works as a creative technologist at an advertising agency.

    She was in a queue at immigration in front of an African American tourist and a group of Chinese tourists when she heard a commotion behind her.

    “As I turned around, this rather tall African American man made eye contact with me and said ‘Can you believe this? This group of people just called me a n**ger!’” she told The Straits Times.

    The Chinese group, comprising of two men and three women, were puzzled as to why they were being scolded, and the two parties started quarrelling, she said.

    “And a man I assumed to be the grandfather of the group was pointing his fingers and shouting back at the American man,” she added.

    “That was when I realised that the Chinese tourists had said the word ‘that’ (na ge) in Mandarin a few times in their conversation, which sounds like the word ‘n**ger’. Therefore the American tourist might have misunderstood them.”

    Ms Nuradillah, who is Malay, told The Straits Times she intervened on the “spur of the moment”.

    “I had to explain to him (the American man) that he misunderstood – and had to explain to him that I understood a little bit of Mandarin to know that they were saying or pointing to ‘that thing’ (na ge) instead of calling him the derogatory term,” she told The Straits Times.

    She also explained the misunderstanding to the Chinese group “in the best broken Mandarin” she could. She asked them to forgive him and move on from the situation.

    After her intervention, both sides were slightly embarrassed and shook hands and apologised.

    She also explained to an airport security guard in her “broken French” that the incident was just a misunderstanding.

    Where did Ms Nuradillah pick up her language skills?

    “I picked up Chinese from friends growing up, reading subtitles on Channel 8 dramas and also went to a basic Mandarin course at 18 – to prepare myself for the workforce back then,” she said.

    Ms Nuradillah recounted the incident on her Facebook on Saturday and the post has since received numerous comments that praise her act

    Through this episode, Ms Nuradillah also realised the importance of living in a multicultural society.

    “I thought that it was just really cool to be able to help others out because I’m a Singaporean. That was the time that I was extremely thankful to have lived and grown up in a place that exposed me to a diversity of cultures and languages,” she said.

    Cardboard Uncle Hit By Taxi More Concerned About His Biscuits Than His Injuries

    A man who collects cardboard for a living was hit by a taxi at the junction of Yishun Avenue 3 and Sembawang Road at about 2.30pm on Thursday (Nov 3).

    Mr Wong Kum Chew, 63, was crossing the road with his trolley when a taxi which was making a left turn, hit him. The impact left Mr Wong lying on the road near his trolley stacked with cardboards. He was covered with cuts, grazes and blood all over his body.

    When passers by rushed to his aid, Mr Wong asked, “Where is my trolley? Where is my trolley? I have two packets of biscuits inside.”

    A lady, Ms Irene Lim said it was heart-breaking to see Mr Wong in that state. A Singapore Armed Forces officer, Lieutenant Colonel (Dr) Timothy Teoh checked Mr Wong’s injuries and noted that nothing was fractured.

    Mr Wong lives with his wife and son. His son is the family’s sole breadwinner and earns about $1,000 a month. Mr Wong earns $6 to $7 a day from collecting cardboards.

    After Mr Wong was conveyed to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital, Ms Lim’s husband helped to push Mr Wong’s trolley back to his home.
